This is an issue. I was told i do this about 7 months ago. I never used to play with myself a whole lot. Im talking once in months or longer. I have no proof other than my boyfriend telling me i do it. Its a problem, it keeps him up, i always feel tired. He feels like I dont want him, or that he isnt satisfying me. Sometimes he will wake me to have sex, probly thinking it will calm it down? Ive never caught myself doing it. And just about 20 minutes ago, he wakes me to tell me i was doing it, but i was sleeping with an arm under my head and my other hand up under my cheek. I was making noises and jerking. Somethings gotta give soon. I have a history of being abused, im tired when i go to bed, im a hard worker and my job can be physical. i have no interest in anyone but him. I dont recall any sexy dreams, I usually have stress dreams, where there are bugs on me. I am taking prozac and seeing a therapist, but it seems to have gotten worse in the last couple days. I was on effexor( prozac about 4 weeks now) and was hospitalized for reasons accompanying this issue. What else can I do? I made anti touch myself gloves with sandpaper, and another with bristles in the finger tips, but havnt woken myself up with them yet...

Ik I'M a guy but why do I jerk in my sleep when I am sleeping as well. My gf wakes me all mad and stuff and doesn't feel comfortable with me anymore. How can I fix or at least change its to where I don't do that anymore. I love my gf to death. I love her with all my heart and don't want anybody else as a gf or anything like that. I want her to be comfortable with me again and not gross her out or make her mad at me for doing that. I feel like crap for a long while. How can I change this?

Were you able to find any answers or something that helped? Forgive me for asking. I am having similar issues with boyfriend right now. I thought I might "help" him out but it usually startles him awake and he rolls out reach, kinda looks at me like "what are you doing?". We talked about it. I asked if he wanted me to help him or if I could do anything at all. He shrugs and says he doesn't know. He doesn't know it's going on. Then he apologieses that it makes me feel less wanted. It keeps me up through the night. I've tried ignoring it too. But I'm going to have to just sleep in another room probably. So I was wondering if there is any help....

I am not aware of it, my boyfriend tells me i do it for hours some nights.i believe him because my ex husband told me i did the same thing years ago.Sometimes i wake up not feeling rested.i take paxil and abilify for depression. I wake up startled alot, i was sexually abused as a child, i remember that being very tramatizing, so i pretended to be a sleep. Also im a single mom with three children. So i work like seven days a week. it feels like all i do is work and sleep. So i just want to stop doing it because i would love to wake up rested. Not to mention my boyfriend thinks that it might stretch things out down there, and it kind of is becoming an issue between us.

There was a programme on TV recently about women that feel the urge to masterbate all the time they are awake. They derive no pleasure from it, but are powerless to stop it. Seems that there are nerves that are sending constant signals to the brain from the genitals.Go & see a medical professional, they are the ones to sort this out. Good Luck

Hi, welcome to the forum, are you aware of the masturbation during sleep. If yes, then you need a behavioral therapy from a psychiatrist. It will also help in case of anxiety or stress. Alternatively you can go for morning exercise which will induce natural deep sleep.

If no then it can be parasomnias, wherein the certain events occur without the knowledge of the person. Few of the individuals are known to suffer from parasomnias esp. when they are on non-benzodiazepine sedatives, drug abuse etc. otherwise no definitive cause exists in few individuals apart from stress, positive past history of abuse etc.

The associated symptoms with the following disorder are confusional wakefullness, sleep paralysis, nightmares and night terrors. This can occur in any sleep stage (REM and non-REM stage).

To rule out parasomnias you need to undergo Polysomnyography and sleep analysis. You need to take out time for further evaluation. Sleep with light on. Short term benzodiazepine against prescription will help you. I suggest you to consult physician or sleep specialist. Take care and regards.
