Please get tested and, as Alice said below, go to a physician for a general checkup. Those symptoms can be associated with other causes as well. Good luck.

See your doc for a full physical. Night sweats are symptomatic of other illnesses as well.

I don't have sexsomnia but I have other somniloquy and sleep paralysis, a sister who sleep walks, and a friend with narcolepsy.

I was going to make a similar reply. We have no idea if this was a regularly occurring thing, or if it only happened very intermittedly. It sounds like the girlfriend does not believe that he was actually asleep...so either they had some major communication issues in their relationship or the other possibility is that…

Your friend's medical condition has nothing to do with this incident.

Based on the article, it sounds like it may have happened once before, according to an ex-girlfriend. Something happening once does not make it a pattern and does not necessarily mean it will happen again.

So, wait. In the very real chance that he was not aware this was happening or even aware he had this condition, he should still be put on a registry?

Since you've made this reply several times, I figured I'd hit this one.

Probably didn't know. It can take a long time to realise you have TB (like months of unexplained weight loss, persistent cough etc) and because it's not very common anymore, it's often not the first thing doctors will test for unless you specifically know you have been exposed. There's a very good chance the health…

They probably didn't know. That's why we medical people are screened once a year. TB has an indolent, nonspecific prodrome. In lay terms, it's slow, and the symptoms aren't glaringly TB. That's why we are torn whenever someone is admitted with an undiagnosed lung lesion. Do we need to put them on full TB precautions,…

While this sucks for the woman involved, you can hardly blame someone for what they do while they're asleep. Imprisoning a man for two years for something completely beyond his control is really unfair.

My husband has this, too. Right now we just don't sleep together if it's around a time where he's more likely to do it (like high stress periods or if he's drank a lot). I'd be curious to hear what sort of things have helped you and if they might work for him, if you don't mind sharing

I've woken up to being groped in a very welcome way by my partner. I thought he initiated it but apparently it was me—I woke him up by groping him! I have no memory of doing this, but I believe him. Luckily we are in a relationship and welcoming of sex at any time—I would hate to think if something like this happened…

Hopefully, until the day a group of dumb high school kids goes, "guys, let's not do this horrible joke thing; let's read up on all the sex jokes in Romeo and Juliet instead."

It is rather horrifying that you classify this as "a stupid joke".

No. They were solely thinking of their own good times and really didn't care about what others thought. If they cared then they wouldn't have posted it. Or they thought their friends in class would like it and no one else would know. Either way they are insensitive idiots.

The things teenagers post on Facebook never cease to amaze me. But sometimes I'm grateful they're so dumb. We just went to the principal of my daughter's school with a printout of a post by another student detailing his harassment of her. He spelled out how he went into her bag and altered one of her assignments. …

Wow,that was straight from the heart...and bold. Kudos to Carter for taking a brave stance on the subject.
