A 38-year-old man repeatedly tries to force his wife to have sex in the middle of the night but has no memory of his actions when he wakes up.
A married woman in her mid-20s often tears off her clothing and masturbates but remembers nothing when her partner rouses her.
For a dozen years, a 31-year-old man masturbates while asleep, at times injuring his groin. Embarrassed due to his unconscious behavior, he avoids relationships for eight years.
These are all clinically documented cases of sleep sex, or sexsomnia, part of a family of sleep disorders called parasomnias that include sleepwalking, sleep talking, sleep eating and sleep terrors.
Well, shit. I have this. It actually sucks.
From just this year, I can recall:
I can’t sleep next to anyone who doesn’t know about the condition and consents to the possibility of having to wake me to stop it. It caused friction in my early marriage (no other serious gfs) but once my spouse helped me realize what I was doing did i understand this occurred.
I believe you but this is identical to werewolf movie tropes.
Sleep in a cage with your arm handcuffed?
Chastity belt? Handcuffs? Now we’re taking about a good time!
Segufix? Sleepsacks?
Can I join?
If my spouse were to ask for me to do that, that would be an actual discussion in which I would seriously consider it. My partner has not asked me for such a request so I don’t consider it.
Bet your siblings were happy when you stopped sharing a bed.
This was never something that came up as a child and I didn’t share a room in my teenage years.
