What is "Sexomnia?"
posted October 3, 2007 - 2:16amHave you ever heard of a condition called "Sexomnia"? Well, I just came across this word on the computer and wondered what it meant. This is the definition given in a website :
"Many people fall asleep after sex, but there are some that sleep during sex. Canadian researchers have named this intriguing phenomenon "sexomnia" ? a condition in which people who are asleep proceed to initiate sex with their bed partner."
Some researchers have also described "sexomnia" as a mix between having a wet dream and sleepwalking.
Some doctors have noted that the condition can have serious medical and legal implications.
There have been a number of instances where this condition has caused legal implications: Here are some examples taken from

1. Richard Anderson, a34-year old from Massachusetts, got three years probation for fondling two girls, ages 11 and 13, even though the mother believed he was a sexsomnia.
2. Adam Kieczykowski(wow what a last name), a 19-year old student was cleared of all charges. He was charged with breaking into dorms rooms and sexually assaulting 10 women. He didn’t remember anything when he woke up.
3. A couple from Milwaukee, reports that once every few months, the female in the relationship starts going to town on him, orally.
All this is really scary for some people, but there are those also that take it on a lighter vein and say that it is a pleasant surprise.
