Sexomniac Starts Support Site
One woman suffers from a weird disorder which turns her into a sex addict, but only when she’s sleeping. The disorder, known as sexsomnia, compels her to engage in sexual acts and touch herself while sleeping — but she remembers nothing the next day. (Not exactly sure how this is a problem yet – so far sounds like a good night of drinking.)
The condition is so rare that at first she struggled to convince anyone she had no control over it. She first discovered the disorder in 1999 when her ex boyfriend confronted her. She stated that: “Out of the blue one evening he asked me why I played with myself at night”. (You think he’d me more concerned if she didn’t play with herself at night.)
The woman sought help from numerous doctors and psychologists who were not able to help her since they had never heard of her condition. Doctors offered her muscle relaxers (naturally), but she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life on medication. So she set up her own website six years ago after doctors failed to work out what was wrong.
Don’t get too excited, it’s not that kind of site (too bad cuz she could have been turning lemons into million dollar lemonade). Instead she created a support site to find others who suffer from the condition. She further commented that “There are no official figures on how many people suffer from sexsomnia but I’ve spoken to hundreds of men and women from all walks of life with the same condition.” I smell a dating web site for sexomniacs not far off…
