Australians may have a new excuse for infidelity: "sleep sex."
That's the diagnosis given to an otherwise respectable Sydney-area woman who snuck out at night to have sex with random strangers while her live-in boyfriend slept at home.
"Incredulity is the first staging post for anyone involved in this," admitted Peter Buchanan, the diagnosing physician and a sleep specialist at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (search). "One has to maintain a healthy degree of skepticism."
But, Buchanan told the Sydney Morning Herald, the woman wasn't covering up run-of-the-mill infidelity. She was genuinely unaware of her activities. Even her boyfriend took a while to catch on.
"He was aware of some sleepwalking and there was circumstantial evidence, including the unexplained presence of condoms around the house," Buchanan explained. "On one occasion he awoke to find her absent from the bedroom and searched until he found her engaged in such activity."

And the reason for the scam.
Goes to show you that men will do anything (and anyone) to get a little. ;-)
Oooohhhh.....I get it now. Clinton was just tired.
Bill Clinton is saying "D'oh! I shoulda tried that one, myself! It's a medical condition! I didn't even remember sleeping with that woman, Miss Lewinsky!"
We had a case in Delaware about 18 years ago where a young college girl claimed to have been undressed and raped in her sleep, not awakening until the act was over. The jury bought it and the "rapist" got 20 years.
"He was aware of some sleepwalking and there was circumstantial evidence, including the unexplained presence of condoms around the house,"
Ummmm, premeditation anyone?

Well that's believable, especially if there was excessive alcohol or date rape drug involved.
Dream on . . .
Not an impossible mental state. Some cases of extremely compartmentalized schizophrenic behavior also shows this total memory block between personalities. The woman was not necessarily "sleeping", but she was apparently fully conscious and in possession of a seemingly complete personality. Then the personality retreated, and the surface personality has no recollection, or at best a dream-like recollection, of the events that occurred while the other personality was dominant.
Does anybody recall "Sybil" or "The Three Faces of Eve"?
How could she be? All she has is a live-in boyfriend, so infidelity is out of the question. One must first have a vow of fidelity (i.e., marriage) in order to have infidelity. Their whole relationship is based on sexual immorality, so her behavior should not be too surprising.
Neither. She claimed to be a sound sleeper.
Sleeping? My God! I thought she was English!!
Oh NO! This has the potential to tarnish the reputations of respectable woman with live-in boyfriends everywhere!
It was a woman doing the sleep-walk horizontal mambo.
Don't laugh, this is a very real malady. I suffered from it for years. In addition to the sex part I would drink copious amounts of alcohol and bet excessively on football games. Next morning, I wouldn't remember a thing.
A likely story. Did this woman just happen to have spare men lying about the premises? Or did she get up, walk down the street to her neighbour (Willy Pounder?), knock on his door, proposition him, and have sex with him, all the while having the presence of mind to pack a condom. It's just a cop-out.
