Sexsomnia

[Doug73458]

Never heard of this before, sounds interesting but at the same time a bit strange.

 

[Gogl]

I wonder if it has ever been combined with narcolepsy for the ultimate courtroom defence.

 

[FerretBoy]

Yeah happened quite a few times, although always woken up before actual sex. The Mrs reports that I can be in fact very sensual with the way I make my moves whilst asleep lol.

Normally happens when up for it but too tired so choose sleep, only for my body to decide otherwise.

 

[Cosimo]

I can recommend a good lawyer.

Dreamt of one nightmare only to wake up to another.

Christ.

Yes it's a tragic story, the poor guy (the poor family)

Yes this has happened to me in the past but I also suffer from other night time shenanigans - shouting, standing up, talking etc.

Thought about going to a sleep clinic in passing but from a friends experience of not benefiting him I have not bothered.

But isn't every thing a mental condition?

possibly induced by stress like many sleeping disorders.

if I'm stressed or have a lack of sleep I usually wake up with sleep paralysis

Usually self-diagnosable
Episodes involve not being able to speak or move while falling asleep or upon waking. This usually lasts one or two minutes, and is often frightening.
People may experience:
Psychological: anxiety or hallucination
Also common: paralysis or feeling that there is an intruder

The main treatment is improved sleep habits (sleep hygiene) including going to bed at the same time every night, ensuring a comfortable sleep environment free of distractions, and avoiding caffeine before sleeping.
Few treatments exist for this condition
Reassurance, Sleep hygiene

no never, must be a really weird feeling though.

So I take it that sexsomnia is an extension to having a wet dream? Something that we all did as teenagers

 

[Dis86]

Was diagnosed with it two years ago.

 

[mmj_uk]

Can it involve family pets?

 

[Nevakonaza]

So what you're really telling us, is that your girlfriend is a rapist?

Id happily get raped by a fine lady any day.

[itchy]

I get sexinsomnia, as in I never get it.

You lucky .......!

 

[UTmaniac]

Didn't a bloke try to use this as a defence for having sex with his daughter's friend at a "stayover party?"

 

[RoboCod]

Yes!!

I have woken up a couple times with my hands doing things to my GF or us actually spooning full on sex. She just thought I was awake being kinky, then I'd wake up all "WTF!?.... mmmmmm!"

One of the most horrifying things I've experienced is sleep paralysis.

Eyes open, feel fully conscious, can't move, can't talk, brain says shout for help, body won't do anything you want it to.

I touch myself in my sleep. I'm signing up to the sex offenders register.
