   Probing contradictions within the person's own reasoning -- I figured as   
   much. :)   
      
   It's easy to see how folks who are unaware of that odd fact of sleep   
   physiology might attribute sexual urges during sleep paralysis   
   experiences to the machinations of witches or demons.  Have you ever seen   
   David Hufford's book The Terror that Comes in the Night?  It's an   
   interesting treatment of Newfoundland folklore traditions concerning   
   sleep paralysis.  Unfortunately he tries to warn people off trying to   
   have OBEs deliberately, but it's still a worthwhile read, albeit not so   
   good to read at bedtime, LOL.
