sexsomnia

apparenly no more than 2.5% of the population sleepwalk, and according to sleep experts when you are sleepwalking you can carry out the same sort of things you would do when you are awake.
fortunately for a couple of blokes the fact that they were sleeping has prevented them from being convicted of rape. in both cases the people involved knew each other. from the woman's point of view they are saying that non consensual sex took place. lets hope that this doesn't become an "excuse" that gets men off the hook if they have attempted to force themselves on an unwilling woman.

interestingly of the few people who sleepwalk 4% of them suffer from sexsomia - having sex while they are asleep. in my time a few have nodded off while i was on the job, obviously the earth didn't move for them.
