    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.

    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.
