I felt like I could of cheated on him.

I went to craigslist for sex

Okay, so I exaggerated a little, but only because I woke up really turned on for sexual relief and I don't understand why.

I don't get it, sometimes I wake up highly highly aroused, like I am not myself, like I can't control myself sometimes. I have to relieve any sexual tension inside before I can feel sane again. I never get like this, only when I am trying to sleep. It's weird, it follows a weird pattern. It's usually I'll be asleep for a short time, and I wake up highly aroused. The most I ever been turned on, is when I get like this during sleep, I am never like this on a regular day when I am out and about doing stuff or at home or with my boyfriend. Usually I wake up naked, like I have no control over it, I just wake up naked, and then when I actually wake up...I'll be doing what ever and then stop and realize "why did I do all this...why did I get naked? What was I even dreaming about?" I never remember what I dreamed,I don't even think I dreamed.

Anyways, it goes on all different levels, but yesterday, it was different. I was just really turned on. I was thinking, maybe I'll go walk around naked outside or in the house, but I didn't want to, then I thought I'll make an ad on craigslist, I didn't want to, and I would never go through with it, I only did it for some sexual arousal relief.

I would never cheat, but the fact I actually made a complete post, worries me, but I made sure to delete once I was sane and relieved.

What's wrong with me? Why do I get like this?

Again, I would never cheat, it was only because I was sexually aroused, I didn't even think about it when I woke up. I never feel like myself when I get like that. And again, I only been like that when I wake up highly aroused. I never been like that when I am actually awake during my day doing what ever I do.

I just can't believe I made a post. Again, I don't think I could have never gone through with it, and once I got relief I came to my senses, but I can't believe it still got posted...

Hmm ... I wonder if you don't suffer from NREM arousal parasomnia? Better known as sexsomnia or sleep sex. The part about you waking up nekkid is what makes me wonder this. Usually people don't remember it though, but it might be related.

Sleep sex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Have you talked to your doctor about this? They might be able to run a sleep study to see what's up.

[Weirdsexualproblem]

It will be hard to have a sleep study done because it's kind of random, so I won't ever know when it's going to happen.

I thought that too but I do remember it and I am conscious of it....it's just sometimes it's so intense it is completely out of my control until I relieve myself.

I do wake up naked, usually it takes me 15-30 seconds to realize what I've done.

And I never spoken to my doctor yet.

Have you started a sleep journal? I think the best thing would be to start a sleep journal and record how your day went, you mood when you went to bed, any dreams you might have, pretty much anything that you think that can trigger this and then definitely schedule a chance to talk to the doctor. If you have a sleep journal, it might help nail down what triggers these ... uh ... episodes.

i haven't but i definitely think i will now.

When I wake up at around 3.00 AM to 5.00 AM, I'm SUPER aroused, I feel I might do something I'll regret, I have this urge to let out whatever I've been hiding inside of me, I feel like doing bold stuff that I normally wouldn't do. all my sexual thoughts are amplified tenfold, I think it's a mix of sleeplessness and frustration, I don't know, I'm not sure. My body tells me I'm tired and should probably go back to sleep, but my mind wants me to pleasure myself in someway. It'd kind of a 'high'. It never happens during any other time of the day. Sometimes I go pleasure myself, even if the risk of getting caught is pretty high. When I'm done, I feel like crap, I'm filled with regret.

I feel like a completely different person.

Is this similar to you?

I sometimes (Once a month maybe?) wake up with my pants pulled down, but i have no memory of pulling it down myself. A more common occurrence, is waking up 'wet' (iykwim) and having no memory of a wet dream whatsoever.

I was thinking, maybe I'll go walk around naked outside or in the house, but I didn't want to

My god.

I feel like doing the same too, but I've never done it. I remember this one time, I had this urge to stand in the balcony.... naked.... it was around 2.30 AM, but I didn't do it.

It may not be the same, but I sometimes wake up mid-orgasm. I will be completely asleep, I usually don't remember the dream I was having, I wasn't touching myself or anything in my sleep but I still have one. I googled it once and it's something about that part of the sleep cycle. I don't know if it's like a female version of a wet dream or something? No idea how common it is, but maybe yours is related.

It is possible that you dream of or become aware of a usually repressed need or issue when you are asleep, and the feeling residue of that is still there when you awake. It is possible that you don't remember the actual dream or awareness when you awake, because your conscious mind immediately censors it or represses it again.

This may not be specifically about a sexual desire. Instead, your psyche may be converting a nonsexual issue into something sexual, to encourage it to be confronted in real life, by helping it to break through your repression barrier. It may not be a socially approved way of confronting your issues, but parts of our minds do not worry about ethics or social correctness. Resolution and relief often take priority in the distressed mind, regardless of the potential consequences in the real world.

Sexual expression of our nonsexual issues is sometimes the path of least resistance, since we so intensely respond to anything that makes us feel sexually aroused. For example, someone who has felt unseen or ignored much of his/her life, may later on develop an exhibition fetish. It would be the mind's way of bringing the feelings of being ignored to the surface or to the person's attention, so that they can be potentially resolved or healed. It is no different than other ways in which our minds sometimes produce psychosomatic symptoms.

What you write in your Craigslist post may provide clues as to whatever is seeking resolution in the real world, especially if you are desiring a specific scenario (a symbolic acting out of something).

You might want to read some of the articles and books written by Arthur Janov, who was famous for his books on primal therapy and the Primal Scream. He has extensively addressed the topic of the sexual acting out of nonsexual issues. It is quite fascinating.

I think you should discuss this with your bf, because the longer this goes on, it could cause problems one way or the other.

Read some of deepsouls suggestion first though, so you're better equipped to talk about it and not scrambling for words and coming across the wrong way.

If he gets pissed, remind him that you looked into it and went to him with it, so could work on it together.

Clearly something you are concerned about, and whilst DeepSoul may be on the right track (I disagree :P), it's something you should talk about with someone, like your boyfriend, because you'll probably end up feeling guilty from keeping it from him.

Goodluck.

Well there was a psychologist who studied the decisions that people make when horny versus "sober" and there is a big difference. Don't feel too bad if you feel this way because the fact that you didn't and control it is good.
