    Lol, I was browsing through and saw some people talk about wet dreams, I know it's a stupid quastions to ask. And I haven't even had a wet dream myself, but would having a wet dream and ejaculating count as a relapse or a restart of your streak to be more precise because isn't the mount point of NoFap is to not masturbate watch porn and orgasm right? So I'm not sure of you would even benefit, if you free cum, or would you?

    And how do all the benefits work? Is it from nor ejaculating or stopping porn all together with masturbating?

    no because there is no way not to have a wet dream, the testes produce semen and if it isnt used it dies and comes out in sleep

  5. To me no it does not, nocturnal emissions during a sleep cycle is natural and while not everybody has them a lot do. When doing nofap the excess semen has to go somewhere and sometimes the body flushes it out while you sleep, aka wet dreams.

    Now if you woke up and were aroused from a sexy dream, and purposely tried to orgasm that would count as you're aware of what you're doing. When you're sleeping your subconscious is in control of things so that release had nothing to do with you regardless of some being able to stop it by waking up. What it do know is the less you masturbate, the more you're more likely to get them because of the semen build up. Even if you had them every week or something that's perfectly okay mate.

    The main point in nofap is to stop porn, and possibly masturbation as you more or less might be addicted to that as well. That's personal and up to you though, some people still go back to masturbation after a year every once in a while or something. It's different for each person, but porn is the main goal.

    WDs aren't a relapse. Some people get puritanical about it, and say it's a relapse. My argument against this is that your body does this while your unconscious.

    Thank you for your reply and information. My main worry was, that if I keep the seed inside me and not masturbating, ejaculating and watch porn, it will bring me the benefits. And then if I ejaculate it's sort of like back to square one it's not about the relapse or anything, it's about the benefit that builds up

    Nothing to worry about. WDs release old sperm so that if we encounter a mate we won't be shooting blanks.
