My bizzare reasearch into wet dreams...

I could be an outlier, but I almost always go to bed with a full bladder as I drink most of my water at night, and I haven't had a wet dream since I was maybe 11. some people just don't get them at all

 

day 49 rn, had multiple 70+ day streaks with no wet dreams. no white clouds or spontaneous discharge of any kind either

¯\_( ツ)_/¯

 

This is a very interesting theory. But I sure as hell will not be trying it, I will avoid any discharges I can.
The only thing I can say for sure is that wet dreams are not completely 'random' like we are told.

 

From my own experiences I don't think this is the case?

I normally find that I get them at specific periods after I stop PMO. (20-25 days) and it's pretty consistent.

I have herd in th last that most men have monthly cycles of discharge and so I've always wanted to see if that was true, but never got to a second month to test it !

 

during summer i had one in the beginning of 3rd week, but this year i had 2 streaks about a month long and didn't have it. But if i didn't relapsed after about a month of nofap, i think i had it.

 

Yeah, I can understand it's annoying! A few days ago, I put on a brand new pair of PJ's and they only lasted 3 hours into the night.

But I kinda take solace in them, to me it's great that I am healing from all the P I have watched in my past anf finally getting back to what a normal bodily function should be like!

 

I got my 2nd one a couple of weeks ago. After 8 years since my first one ever. There's no pattern IMO. It's a combination of arousal, dreams and bodily functions

 

I've gone over a month between WDs only to start getting them once a week, then twice a week, and then just stop getting them for awhile.

 

That does not make sense, as nocturnal tumescence (a boner while sleeping) has a role at preventing urination while sleeping.

Wet dreams have a few causes: releasing sperm to keep the remainder healthy, sex dreams, stimulation while sleeping (sleeping on your stomach and sleeping naked have a higher correlation with nocturnal emissions and sex dreams)...maybe all of the above, maybe some of the above. Some people may be more prone to it. Until you can read a sleeping person's thoughts we'll never know for certain.

Just...keep washing those sheets in cold water, I guess.

 

Interesting theory... I think you may have a point that our bladders have something to do with morning wood. But as for wet dreams I think it's a bit more complex than that. I've had wet dreams where I didn't have a full bladder or even an erection. I didn't even have a dream, my body just orgasmed on it's own.

For wet dreams I think there are 2 main categories. The first being ones that happen because we caused them to. The second being that our body acts on it accord regardless of what we do. The second type is the one that's kind of hard to figure out because it tends to be sporadic and without any identifiable causes.

 

same. I can't recall the last time i had a wet dream.

 

Well far as I know morning wood is caused by REM sleep on purpose as it's a natural thing the body just does, but you are correct as urine retention does In fact increase your chances throughout the night of getting erect if your bladder is full.

 

Hmm. I know hormones, age, porn addiction, REM stages in the middle of the night and even masturbation abstinence can cause it, but haven't seen anything to do with urine retention yet.

Let the human trials begin!

 

I’ve never had wet dreams, only moist dreams.
