Sexsomniacs do it in their sleep
Oct. 27, 2006.

LONDON�Researchers are struggling to understand a rare medical condition where sufferers unknowingly demand, or actually have, sex while asleep, New Scientist magazine reports.

Research into sexsomnia � making sexual advances toward another person while asleep � has been hampered as sufferers are so embarrassed by the problem they tend not to own up to it.

As yet there is no cure for the condition, which often leads to difficulties in relationships.

"It really bothers me that I can't control it," Lisa Mahoney told the magazine. "It scares me because I don't think it has anything to do with the partner. I don't want this foolish condition to hurt us in the long run."

Most researchers view sexsomnia as a variant of sleepwalking, where sufferers are stuck between sleep and wakefulness.

While sleepwalking affects 2 to 4 per cent of adults, sexsomnia is not thought to be as common a problem, according to Nik Trajanovic, a researcher at the sleep and alertness clinic at Toronto Western Hospital.

But an Internet survey carried out in 2005 that drew 219 reliable respondents concluded it was more prevalent than medical case reports suggest.

"Most of the time sleep sex occurs between people who are already partners," Mark Pressman, a sleep specialist at Lankenan Hospital in Pennsylvania, told New Scientist.

"Sometimes they hate it," added Pressman of the reactions of sexsomniacs' partners. "Sometimes they tolerate it. On rare occasions you have stories of people liking it better than waking sex."

Addressing triggering factors � stress or sleep deprivation � can help, while Michael Mangan, a psychologist at the University of New Hampshire has set up a website, sleepsex.org, to help sufferers.

"Do you have sex while sleeping?" hence what the article is about!
