Sexsomnia is a type of parasomnia in which a person performs sexual acts while still asleep. Much like sleepwalking, the sexual act is not consciously controllable by the person who has the disorder. A sexsomniac is generally not aware of their actions, and commonly do no remember partaking or initiating sexual activities.
