I've heard of people unconsciously engaging in sexual activity while asleep, so just was curious as to how consciousness/unconsciousness played a role in those who were asleep as well.

Hi Anon,
Welcome to EmpowHER. As weird as it might sound, but it's called Sexsomnia. A Study found that almost 8% of 832 patients surveyed at a sleep disorders center reported having engaged in sexual activity while asleep, Researchers believe people who sleepwalk or sleep talk are more at risk for sexsomnia than people who don't. Drinking alcohol, taking recreational drugs, suffering sleep deprivation, and experiencing stress are triggers.
Best,
Daisy

Oh okay, but what about for the person sleeping? Would they feel anything since they don't have the condition?
