Abstract NoneSexsomnia is a parasomnia consisting of sexual behavior during non-rapid eye movement sleep. To date, there have been 116 clinical cases of sexsomnia reported and most were treated with clonazepam. We present a case of an adult male with sexsomnia that started during his college days. He presented to us because of problems in his current marriage arising from sexual behavior during sleep. Polysomnography revealed no significant sleep-disordered breathing, electroencephalography abnormality, or abnormal movement during non-rapid eye movement and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Alcohol consumption was reported to worsen his sexsomnia. To avoid the neuro-depressant effects of benzodiazepines, paroxetine was administered and resulted in complete resolution of sexsomnia.
