I have just recently discovered I have sexonmia, or sleep sex if you'd rather... It is so embarrassing to wake up on top of my boyfriend and the expression on his face is of pure curiosity, amazement and passion.
I feel weird that he doesn't wake me up. Also, I really hate waking up in the middle of sex.
Is there anything I can do/take to stop this??
you have nothing to be embarassed about. and no, your b/f is not going to wake you up, if for no other reason than the chance that it will freak you out (remember the old adage about not waking sleepwalkers?)
i agree with the geek's advice to seek out medical help if you really think this is a problem. However, you are only 17, this cannot have been going on that long and is likely just a temporary happenstance. trust me, by the time you have been married for a year, you won't be doing this.....

I'm not a doctor or anything, but according to Wikipedia, there is a drug called Clonezepam that is used to treat this disorder. Speaking of which, have you gone to seek diagnosis and treatment from a doctor?
Other than advice from your doctor, I would advise you to tell your boyfriend to help. :/ It's pretty selfish of him to not wake you up (if he knew you had this disorder). Good luck, and I hope everything works out!
