A person who experiences sexsomnia may engage in masturbation, fondling, groping, or actual sexual intercourse while sleeping, without conscious awareness: The individual engaging in these behaviors may have their eyes open and may speak or make noises, but they will generally appear vacant or blank, “glassy-eyed,” and/or nonresponsive, and they will typically not remember the episode when they awaken. In women, the condition most often manifests as masturbation while sleeping. Men exihibit a wider range of behaviors including engaging in intercourse. The prevalence of sexsomnia is unknown because so few people with the condition are aware they have it, but it is more common in males and it can have serious negative social and even legal consequences.
