On a semi related topic it’s not unusual for my patients to insist they were sexually assaulted overnight (despite all evidence to the contrary including 24h video feeds verifying no one did anything more than open the door and look in during checks), and when the cops take down their report they often describe knowing it happened because they woke up with a boner or wet vagina. Sometimes they also describe sleep paralysis (although usually they interpret that as aliens, demons, magic etc), but a looot of them primarily describe the experience as just normal genitals doing normal nighttime genital stuff. Sex Ed is really that bad, folks. Also the cops get really weirded out when I insist they take down reports for delusional shit because like. Yeah it’s fucking bonkers but it’s a human rights thing. a) what if they’re describing something that did happen but at some other time and they’re just too psychotic to get the details right right now and b) I do NOT want to be the person responsible for picking where the “too delusional” line gets drawn and if they’ve got any sense in their heads neither do they.
