Ok, so:

Sleep paralysis demons are hallucinations experienced during sleep paralysis, a condition where the body is temporarily paralyzed, often during the transition between sleep and wakefulness.

So what's the joke here, that for some people the experience is pleasant in a sexually deviant kind of way?

As knowledge of sleep paralysis spread through the internet, people quickly memed on the concept of having your own demon that watches you sleep. Lot's of impact font memes beginning with "My paralysis demon... " changing this rather horrifying concept into just an imaginary friend or room mate.

The joke here is that Debra's demon would rather spend time with that man, and Debra misjudged how close their "friendship" was. Like the awkward situation of realising one's best friend is best friends with someone else.

It’s not about sleep paralysis.
