Woman Has Sex With Strangers While Sleepwalking

This is either the weirdest case of nocturnal behaviour, or the greatest excuse a woman has ever given her partner for her extracirricular sexual endeavours.  Having problems in the bedroom with your partner is one thing.  Having those problems while dealing with your partners sleepwalking sex escapades would bring life’s stresses to a whole other level.

Sleep medicine experts have successfully treated a rare case of a woman having sex with strangers while sleepwalking.

The behaviour had disrupted the lives of the woman and her partner. At night while asleep, the middle-aged sleepwalker – who lives in Australia and cannot be identified for reasons of confidentiality – left her house and had sexual intercourse with strangers. The behaviour continued for several months and the woman had no memory of her nocturnal activities.

Circumstantial evidence, such as condoms found scattered around the house, alerted the couple to the problem. On one occasion, her partner awoke to find her missing, went searching for her and found her engaged in the sex act.

“Incredulity is the leading player in cases like this,” says Peter Buchanan, the sleep physician at the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, who handled the case. But a combination of factors convinced him that the case was a real sleepwalking phenomenon, including the distress of the couple, and an in-depth clinical evaluation.

Now just imagine for a second you followed your zombie girlfriend around town for a night and caught her begging random homeless dudes on the street for sex.  I’m not about to blame those homeless guys either as some of you might.  Why condemn them for allowing a complete miracle to manifest itself?  It’d be like condemning water for letting Jesus walk on it…  or something like that.

I think this defines the age old relationship issue of “she’s more trouble than she’s worth”.
