Sexwalking is a type of sleepwalking that is considered more serious, as it involves sexuality. In other words, the practice can involve other people, be it a partner or someone sleeping in the same room, and run into situations of consent and violence.
In short, sexwalking it causes the person with the disorder to practice sexual acts, whether having sex or masturbating while sleeping, without remembering anything the next day. Experts say that the sexual pattern of sleep tends to repeat itself, as something automatic, but that in some cases it can become more aggressive than normal for that person.
A curiosity is that this sleep disorder is more common in men. In addition, there are some risk factors such as a history of sleep apnea, accumulated stress and also poorly slept nights, as sleepwalking occurs in the transition from light to deep sleep.

First, it is interesting to mention that sleepwalking has no cure, so it was to be imagined that sexwalking would also be a treatable condition, but not amenable to resolution.
The treatment of sexwalking involves oral medications, usually tranquilizers and anxiolytics, mainly to help regulate sleep nights and prevent episodes. In addition, psychotherapy sessions are also recommended, as the disorder is related to stress, and sometimes unresolved trauma from adolescence, such as bullying.
Remembering that each case is different and must be diagnosed and treated with follow-up by a specialist in the area. Do not self-medicate or self-diagnose!
