Sexsomnia is a relatively rare sleep disorder, and thought to be a variant of sleepwalking. Sexsomniacs exhibit sexual behaviours in their sleep, usually without being aware of their actions or remembering it the next morning. For obvious reasons it can be a problematic condition, but in otherwise healthy relationships the partners of sexsomniacs can usually learn how to manage the condition from their perspective - whether by figuring out how to break the cycle and awaken the sufferer, or by getting into it if they happen to be in the mood themselves! As with all things, communication is key. Talk this over with your partner well in advance, and come up with a strategy that works for you both.

What is sexsomnia?

Like sleepwalking and sleep eating, sex whilst sleeping is a parasomnia – a sleep disorder. A person with sexsomnia will masturbate or make sexual advances on a partner or roommate whilst asleep.

Can you have sex in your sleep?

Some people can. When the brain switches between different stages of sleep sometimes neurons can misfire and turn on parts of your brain while the rest is still in sleep mode. This can result in all kinds of behaviour such as sleep walking and sleep sex. People who are having sex in their sleep have no idea about it unless they wake up in the middle of the act or are told about it by their partner or another person who has witnessed it.

What are the signs of sexsomnia?

The person having sleep sex is unlikely to know. They may masturbate in their sleep, spontaneously orgasm, thrust their pelvis, fondle a partner or even instigate sexual intercourse. They may well seem to be awake with their eyes open but they won’t remember a thing when they wake up. Anxiety and stress are thought to be a cause as well as fatigue, use of recreational drugs, drinking alcohol and irregular sleep patterns.

How is sexsomnia treated?

If you are worried about sexsomnia symptoms it is recommended to see your doctor. They can then offer various treatments from changing medications to prescribing antidepressants or suggesting other ways to control it like regulating your sleep pattern and developing a calming routine before going to sleep.

    Paraphilia is a psychiatric diagnosis defined as 'a condition characterised by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities'. In some cases, this is clear-cut: bestiality and pedophilia are both classed as being paraphilia, for example. The problem comes when the term is overused: it's sometimes employed to medicalise and problematise fetishes of all kinds, which is marginalising and repressing and no good to anyone. At the end of the day, the answer is simple: if your "abnormal sexual desires" are potentially harmful to yourself or others in a way that is non-consensual or more than transient, calling them paraphilia and seeking treatment might be helpful. Otherwise you do you, boo.
    Some vagina owners can ejaculate when they come. Just like male ejaculation it can vary in amount, power and consistency but unlike male ejaculate, the liquid originates from the skene’s glands that surround the urethra and of course, it doesn’t contain sperm. Many people don’t believe female ejaculation is a thing, but in studies between 10-54% of women say they have experienced it. It’s seen by some as controversial sexual act and has been banned from porn by the BBFC which has been strongly protested. After all it’s a natural sexual reaction for some people, so if you squirt enjoy it, it’s perfectly normal!
    Threesomes aren't the be all and end all of more-than-two sex, foursomes and moresomes are also common in some fetish clubs and sex-positive social circles, and sex involving four or more people is often referred to as 'group sex'. There's more than one form of group sex - there's the gangbang, for example, where a group of people are all focused on one individual, and there's the orgy, which is more of a free-for-all. People of all and any sexualities and gender identities can enjoy group sex in the right context, and it's a great way to live out some of your deeper and darker fantasies. Safer sex is even more important in group situations than it is in most others, as there's a far higher chance of picking up something you didn't want when you have more partners at once. You should also have consent negotiations before, during and after--it's vital to make sure that everyone is happy, comfortable and on the same page.
