Interview with a Sexomniac - S12 : E7

Sexsomnia: When Your Body Has Sex While You're Asleep - Tom meets Lacey a living breathing Sexomniac.

What happens when your body becomes sexual while your mind is completely asleep?

In this fascinating and deeply personal episode of Talking Kinky, Tom sits down with Lacey, who lives with sexsomnia, a little-known sleep disorder that can cause people to engage in sexual behaviours while asleep, with little or no memory of the events afterwards.

Lacey shares her journey of discovering she had sexsomnia, the impact it has had on her relationships, the confusion and embarrassment that often accompanies the condition, and how she learned to navigate intimacy while living with a disorder that many people have never even heard of.

Together, Tom and Lacey explore:

• What sexsomnia actually is
• How it differs from sleepwalking and other parasomnias
• The challenges it creates in relationships
• Consent, communication, and safety considerations
• Common triggers and treatment options
• The emotional impact of living with a misunderstood condition

• The surprising science behind sleeping and sexual behaviour

This episode shines a light on a condition that sits at the intersection of sleep, sexuality, psychology, and human relationships. Whether you're hearing about sexsomnia for the first time or have personal experience with it, this conversation is eye-opening, educational, and surprisingly relatable.

As always, Talking Kinky approaches the topic with curiosity, humour, compassion, and a commitment to helping people better understand the wonderfully complex world of human sexuality.

Because sometimes the most surprising things happen when we're fast asleep. Lacey can be found here on Instagram
