Doctor Says Woman Has Sleep-Sex Disorder
No not a Joke but extremely real, albeit my legal case has been running prior to most articles talking about this!! :-(
But the sleepsex.org is a good beginning and there is also a group on yahoo groups who deal with this matter!! I am still looking around for some info on this as I do not take lightly to being called a sexual aggressor!!

message: Hi all. Shouldn't this have a "See Also" section with links to pages on parasomnia, sleep walking, night terror, etc? It's a very interesting page and I think it should be developed. Blaise Joshua 22:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm curious - if "sexsomnia" is the official term and "sleep sex" is the laymen's term, why does sexsomnia redirect here instead of the other way around? Oughtn't this be filed under it's proper heading?

replies: text: Well, "Sexsomnia" probably redirects to "Sleep sex" for the same reason that "Somnambulism" redirects to "Sleepwalking". I think the article is suppose to located at the most commonly used term (for example, alot of people have never even heard the word "Somnambulism", but everyone knows the term "Sleepwalking").

Is the link misspelled? Or is there another link to the same story?
A sleep sex disorder being used successfully as a defense in a case of statutory rape would be remarkable indeed, and certainly worthy of mention in this article, but at the moment it is a non-verifiable claim.--65.212.104.138 (talk) 20:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sexsomniac Statutory Rape? 

message: I removed this sentence from the article. It provides no information (essentially it says that when people have sex with someone in their sleep, they do it with anyone else at all). Also, I did a Google search on the site that that section cites, and noen of those words are used on any of it's 8 pages, all of which are indexed by Google.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.169.217.121 (talk) 19:22, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Really? 

message: The section re Stephen Davies should be removed, as the accused in that case complained to the Press Complaints Commission that he wasn't exonerated on the basis of sexsomnia, and his complaint was upheld - so this statement is potentially defamatory.

message: in a current case in Ireland, a jury failed to reach a verdict of rape due to the defendant applying sexomnia (for which he has been diagnosed as suffering from) as his defence. See Here2A02:8084:2860:3A80:656B:ED86:B886:C9B7 (talk) 20:45, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  intro info 

message: If a person commits what would otherwise be a sex offense under sexsonia then there is no mens rea and thus they did not willingly commit such an act. As such, it would be inappropriate to label them sex offenders if they re not legally guilty of being a sex offender per the defense of sexsomnia as the term "sex offender" carries with it the notion that the person was either previously convicted of a sex crime or at least has publicly admitted to KNOWINGLY committing such a crime even if they have yet to be convicted, if ever. As such, I change the language in the section about sexsomnia being a possible defense to sex crime charges in some instances to reflect that those who successfully used said defense are not "sex offenders" in usual sense since their is an adsense of intent.
