Sex While Sleeping

In March of 2002 I received a press release from Stanford University. It read, in part: "In a new study, Stanford researchers describe a treatable medical condition which causes people to commit violent sexual acts in their sleep.   Referred to as "sleep sex," the nocturnal activities cited i...

I really can't be sure. There could be several reasons. I would suggest a visit to your doctor. However, the one reason that comes to mind is stress.

This may be due to REM behavior disorder. You should find a sleep clinic and have a sleep study done. This can be a sign of other issues that need to be taken care of. Sleep apnea can play in with this. Again contact your doctor get a sleep study done.

Is there someone I could talk to about something like this?  Like a doctor?  Or.. someone.  I have this but its NO where NEAR the horrible stories I have heard thus far.  So I have to wonder do I really have this or do i have something else altogether?  I also have other attributes that I refer to as "sleep talking."  For example if someone wakes me up while Im sleeping and just starts talking to me, I will have a FULL conversation with them, fall back to sleep, wake up and never remember that conversation.  Anyway, I was just wondering if I could talk to a professional and NOT because my sexsomnia is HORRID or I need help or because I want treatment because its not, I dont and I dont want to.

I recommend a Polish site on sexsomnia. It contains various interesting facts on this disorder.

My husband sometimes starts grabbing on me in his sleep (sexually). Sometimes it will lead to sex and he will wake up but unless we have sex he won't remember grabbing on me. 

I would tell him when it would happen and we would just laugh and make jokes about it.

I just saw on TLC a show called 'strange sex' and there was a women that was alot worst but having sex in sleep is called sexsominia (i probably spelled that wrong). 

So I just wanted to help y'all out by letting you know what it is called so you have somewhere to start.

My husband and I have been together for about 3 years. He started his actions about 2 years ago and of course I would be upset and go to the couch and he would wake up and come out and ask what was going on. I am sick of being violated by my own husband. He is a great man otherwise just this disorder. I got so upset last night that I started to punch him. I don't know what to do. Also how much would treatment cost? Thanks for any advice you can give me.

I have experienced the same thing with my husband.  I have been dealing with this for 9 years.  I myself have chronic pain problems so I take ambien to sleep at night, I sleep thru the episode and often only realize sex occured due to torn or wet underwear.  We have 2 kids (beautiful kids that we are crazy about) that were conceived while I was asleep.  For years I tried to laugh it off and have only recently started to even acknowledge the feelings of violation.  The last time it happened (a few months ago) I did wake up during and pushed him away from me and demanded an apology - a big step for me. He doesn't share with me how he feels about it.  I do love him in other ways but I'd be happy never to have sex again (with anyone) in this lifetime after this experience.  FYI - we have been to marriage counseling but I can't say that the counselor viewed as the violation that I feel it to be.

This disease can become persistent with chronic schizophrenia and therefore debilitating.  Ambien does a wonderful job of stopping these sleep panic attacks also known as sleep terror disorder, but only work for about four or five hours during a night. I have schizophrenia with auditory and visual hallucinations and the characters that live unilateral to me inside of my head whom cause these hallucinations also cause my sleep terror disorder. Also, I leave the television on while asleep and it changes the dreams I have to follow what is on the tv, but the insane dreams I do have if I run out of ambien are very stong and annoying they cause me to wake up or remain in a constant dream that lasts all night and I do not actually get any sleep unless I take the full doesgae of ten mg Ambien, if I take this medication and stay awake as the neurotransmitters in my brain are so active sleeping pills only make me slightly tired for about thirty minutes, if I do stay awake the voices in my head fall asleep themselves and only respond to things that I say to them ad do not create so many hallucinations and do not respond as often, but they are still slightly awake and cause persistent sexual arousal disorder. I am allergic to seroquel and it causes me to remain awake and feel as though I am on fire and am also freezing and also cause serious neurological problems drive me more insane than the schizophrenia does all day. If they could develop a hypnotic sedative I can take during the day that does not cause outward visual hallcuinations such as the wood grain on a wall becoming people and they make out and they rowboat and do all sorts of crazy crap that would be the greatest medicine I have ever taken, as the Ambien is effective for my schizophrenia up to like seventy five percent, rather than the highest does of Lithium only like ten to twenty percent effective then you could get rid of the words, schizophrenia medication is effective in twentyfive percent of cases and change it to seventy five percent effective, also hypertension drugs stop a lot of postural hypertension and can lessen any anger you will have towards the schizophrenia (skitzophrenia) bacteria, outdated dna, brain damage, drug use, multiple personalities (meeps), child trauma protector personalities (now jackasses), disassociative amneisa causing, or whatever else they will say schizophrenia is caused by problems. PLEASE DEVELOP A HYPNOTIC SEDATIVE I CAN TAKE DURING THE DAY TIME THAT DOES NOT CAUSE HALLUCINATIONS AND MAKES THE SCHIZOPHRENIA FALL ASLEEP SCIENTISTS WHO WILL READ THIS YEARS FROM NOW.

Sometimes if I relaize I am in a dream as the subconsious is too stupid to realize the voices that talk to me all day are creating the auditory imaging of the dream I will self realize in the dream and then begin talking to the characters realizing that they are the same two idiots who bother me all day as schizophrendias, they can trap me in the dream and I cannot get out unless I scream to myself to wake up over and over again, but sometimes the brain will fall back asleep and I will forget that its a dream again, it seems like sleep paralysis, but in the past if I realized I was in a dream I had control over the hallucination and could chnage it be thought manipulation, but since schizophrenia i have lost control of facial microbursts, day to day thought, silence of the brain, many cortex functions that used to be not a problem

My wife of 26 years apparently has this so-called disorder, and I love it!  She lives a life during her sleep, that she's always fantasized about during her waking hours.  Why must everything that's misunderstood be labeled as "bad"?

 

Sure, we miss a little sleep, but we both love the side benefits.

 

Sometimes she remembers, but most times she does not.  When she wakes during the sex sleep, she gets incredibly turned on, asks me what she was doing, saying, rubbing, etc. and finishes what she started in a big orgasmic gushing way.

 

When I tell her about it the next day, she gets equally turned on.

 

So this is a problem?
