Help! Masturbating in my Sleep

I wanna start off this thread by saying that I beat my previous record of 121 days PMO free today. I'm so proud of myself. There is one problem though. It's that for a while now I've been masturbating in my sleep. This problem started during the summer. Although the first time I remember it happening is last year around August or September. You guys reading this are probably thinking I'm having wet dreams. There's actually a name for this and it's called Sexsomnia. Basically what happens is I'll be sleeping and in my sleep I strip completely naked and start touching myself. Sometimes I'll play with my nipples or sometimes I'll just go straight to my penis and start masturbating. All while this is happening I'm sleeping. I usually wake up at the point that I have as orgasim. When this is happening I'm in a semi-aware state. I can see what I'm doing, but I don't realize what's going on. I have no control over myself. I'm just along for the ride. I've done some research on this and I think I have REM sleep disorder. People who suffer from REM sleep disorder usually act out dreams and remember the dream they were acting out, although they may not understand what happened when they first wake up. In the dream their action may be completely justified, but to an outside observer their actions may be completely meaningless or random. This describes exactly what I'm suffering from. Have you guys ever experienced anything like this? If so, what can I do to put a stop to it? I know I need to do something. I can't let this keep happening. I feel like I'm not seeing any of the benefits of NoFap. I have no confidence. I have trouble making eye contact with people. I'm depressed. It's just like I'm masturbating when I'm awake. I haven't intentionally masturbated or watched any porn since June, but I keep masturbating in my sleep. I thought about trying to see a sleep specialist, but in order to do that I would have to tell my parents about this problem and I don't want to tell them that I masturbate in my sleep. That would be so embarassing. I don't know what to do. If somebody could please help me out and think of what I could do I'd really appreciate it.

 

I used to see a therapist every week. I stopped once I started school because I knew I would be too busy since I'm on my school's golf team and we have either a match or practice every day. Well now golf season is over so I will be seeing him again soon. I don't know if I really want to ask him about this issue. First off it's really embarrassing. Plus I don't know if he could really help me. Sleep isn't really his area of expertise.

 

I try not to think about PMO during the day, but it's going to creep into my mind at some point. Although it's hard not to think about it when it's the source of all my problems. And you're right I should meditate. I used to meditate every day, twice a day, but I got out of that habit.

 

It's terr

It's terrible isn't it? I've tried so hard to get PMO out of my life, but I can't prevent it when I do it in my sleep. Thankfully I don't do it every night like you. It usually happens twice a week for me.
