8% “Have Had Sex Whilst Asleep”

Sleep experts report that almost 8% of their patients reported engaging in sexual activity with their partners whilst asleep, an unusual sleepwalking condition dubbed “sexsomnia.”
Research published at the 2010 annual meeting of Associated Professional Sleep Societies found that of 832 patients admitted to a sleep disorders centre, 63 (7.6%) reported having at some point initiated sexual activity with a bed partner despite being asleep.
Unsurprisingly given the mechanics of the situation, men were most likely to report sexsomniac experiences, with 11% versus 4% of women.
However, one of the doctors involved cautions that the results may not apply to the population at large:
“While our finding of eight percent of people reporting sexsomnia seems really a high number, it should be stressed that we only studied patients referred to a sleep clinic. So, we would expect the numbers to be much lower in the general population.”
No previous studies into sexsomnia rates have been conducted, so just what the actual incidence is amongst general sleepers is unknown.
She also observes that the condition is not something people generally talk about:
“It seems that patients generally don’t discuss this with their doctors.”
The condition has lately been attracting media attention due to its successful use as a defence against charges of incestuous rape – it would appear there is a stronger scientific basis for this defence than many previously thought.

I had a girlfriend who did that. She always fell asleep before I did (probably because she worked full time, I was still in college working part time). One night in bed, she reached over and grabbed my junk and started messing with it. She eventually pulled me on top of her and we went at it. She clawed the shit out of my back, which is something she never did. It wasn't until I was already on her that I realized she was still asleep, but I was thought, "whatever."
Afterwards, I was laying beside her and she woke up, and said she had had the best dream. I told her I had the same one, and she gave me a puzzled look, and I sat up and showed her the clawmarks on my back. So, like any good boyfriend, I used what I learned that night to my advantage. She was one girlfriend that was never too tired.
@ Anon 23:10 :
That's awesome. If we could train ourselves to do this, it would solve the problem of being "too busy" to have time for sex!
"Your dad and I had you while we were both asleep"
I can imagine this being told to some children
I had sex with Nana Mizuki, does that count?
Only if she was asleep.
I remember you, Minorin otouto! How could you cheat on your hot onee-sama??
Stay right where you are - this time we are bringing down an Armageddon on you.
if mio is the one doing it to me then i dont mind
RITSU ISNT ON TOP?!
Well what's wrong with that? If you were Ritsu -or just YOU- would you want Mio to be on top?
If you were asleep, how do you know that you had sex?
My guess would be the person you had sex with that night told you in the morning, or whenever you woke up?
I saw this story earlier this week and the first thing I thought of was sancom, is that odd?
*cough* wheeze* What is this? *cough* *cough*
I think I might be developing...*cough*...a severe case of sexsomnia.
My wife has done this a few times, actually. At first, I was just under the impression she was only being quiet.
Funny, I just watched an episode of House where someone had sexsomnia. And before that I hadn't heard of it.
It was a girl who had it too. Good ep.
wonder what kind of dream there having :D
I want one
I've done it
Caution: Do not let a man and his 16-year-old daughter share the same bed for the night.
Family bonding... =P
Indeed, the poor man is gonna get raped by that crazy teen and her hormones.
You would have to ask my dakimakura if I fall into this demographic.
"8% faps while asleep" waiting for an article like this
sexlexia lol
Reaplexia
This brings up an interesting concept.
If you have sex with someone when *you're* alseep, does it classify as rape?
Only if you are male.
only if you pretend.
Only if you're a trap or if someone raping you is a trap!
Not if you're in Belgium.

I have actually done this two times hat I am aware of. It scared the hell out of me.
shit, imagine what if that condition came out during your highschool days when you fall asleep in class... FYL right there
Did you cum outside?
I woke up mid act both times.
Yes, instead yell "Who the fuck am I doing". It's politically correct! *applies in situations involving people only*
never yell what the fuck am i doing, its an insult to your partner.
8% >> OF PEOPLE ADMITTED TO A SLEEP CLINIC <<. Jesus.
You thought it was 8% of the whole population?
Yeah well, that's the impression the title gives.
But then it's Sankaku, one shouldn't rely on titles.
hehehehehe
You haven't opened a single newspaper in your life, haven't you?
yes, it's the usual Sankaku sensationalist bullshit
I had sex with someone while they were asleep, does that count?
I think I should go out and try this "sexsomnia" thing out at the local high school.
my boyfriend started boning me while I was asleep, does that count?
someone had sex with me while I'm asleep, does that count?
I had sex with me while someone had sex with me, does that count?

@Gradius: but the loli hasn't complained about "wetting the bed" so it must've been your dog or something.
