BONUS: Sexsomnia is now a defence in sexual assault cases. What is it?

A man diagnosed with sexsomnia has been found not guilty of having non-consensual sex with a woman in Sydney.

With the disorder now appearing as a key argument in trials across the country and the world, The Briefing wanted to bring you a previous explainer the team published on sexsomnia - what it is, how it works, what behaviours it can lead to.

In this bonus episode, Helen Smith is joined by Aleks Trkulja from the Pleasure Centre, and specialist sleep physician Dr David Cunnington, so you can catch up on just how common sexsomnia is, and what you need to know about it.
