Have you had sleep sex?
Dr Jan was asked to comment for Cosmo Magazine on Sleep Sex – ‘sexsomnia’. It is a parasomnia of the same family as sleepwalking – but people have sex, or masturbate, or try to have sex, in their sleep.
Q Do you think someone could honestly have sex without knowing it, and wake up the next day and not remember it?
Dr Jan says: Yes it is a common enough phenomena. I have had clients who report it.
Q Some Cosmo readers report their partner ‘groping them’ or ‘trying to have sex with them’ while they are asleep. However they do remember this in the morning. Is this type of behaviour a subconscious symptom of not getting enough sex? Your honrniness taking hold in your sleep? Or is it sexsomnia?
Dr Jan says: It’s not sexsomnia if the initiator remembers it next morning. Sometimes the “groper” is just feeling horny and trusts their partner to be responsive or not, depending on their relationship. Sometimes the groper is just desperate and calculating that the sleeper will let them get away with it!
