Talking Dirty... while asleep

A couple years ago, I first heard about my dirty talking. Apparently, I talk dirty in my sleep. I thought my partner at the time was just pulling my leg. His, and my best friend, backed him up (as I had spent a couple nights on his couch, the best friend said he could hear me from his room!) I thought they were in the joke together and I laughed it off with them.

A couple nights ago, my new boyfriend and I got on the subject of sleep talking/walking/kicking etc. He was complaining the other night I kept kicking him. I told him that he talks Russian in his sleep fairly loudly. (he is russian) Then he says "At least I don't talk dirty in my sleep you naughty girl!" I stopped in my tracks, I said who told you that? Thinking my friends got to him with what I thought was a private joke. And he said "you did, almost once a week you talk so dirty in your sleep I feel like waking you up!"

I'm aghast!! SHOCKED!! Appalled!!

I don't dirty talk in real life. I feel cheesy when I do it, and usually laugh at myself. But when I'm sleeping!?

I feel like I can never sleep over comfortably at a friends house. MY GOD! I went to Montreal last week and shared a hotel bed with a girlfriend... WHAT IF??

I'm mortified, and have no idea how to make it stop!!

HELP!

Talking in your sleep, walking in your sleep, or anything else you do in your sleep, including dreaming, are controlled by your sub-conscious. You have no control over your sub-conscious. Women (and men) have orgasms in their sleep, too.

Whatever you do in your sleep you have no control over, and you shouldn't be embarassed about it. The only way you might get some relief is to talk to your doctor about a sleep aid, or if you have great medical coverage, you could try a "sleep clinic", but I don't know if that would even help.
