'Wet' Dreams: The Problems, Solutions, and Why It's Important to Know About Them

Wet dreams, a vastly controversial topic in the world of Sexology and Human Biology, is enacted when the body emits semen (women can also undergo orgasm as well) during a dream that typically consists of sexual reflections as to what 'turns you on'. Personally, I was taught that wet dreams happen regardless of your dreams, but from what I've gone through, the only times I would ejaculate in my sleep would be from a sexual dream. Now remember this is very sensitive in the Science world- as it is too vast to determine amongst all individuals, to the point where there are many different theories (all of those theories even contradicting each other).

Wet dreams can be thought of in a lesser was than you could think of masturbation, mainly because of how they can happen without notice. However, if you personally believe in body damage caused by masturbation, you would also think the same way about wet dreams- as they have the identical structure:

1. Think
2. Sensory Demeanor (You hear, see, feel, taste, smell something that arouses you)
3. Act
4. Ejaculate/Orgasm

What is factual is, just as your sperm count is reduced once you masturbate, it is the same as a wet dream- as both acts, willful or not, emit semen that contains bolts of sperm, and once ejaculated, required the need to rest and build back up.

Another thing- you might wake up fatigued from a wet dream, just as masturbation and overall sexual activity brings rest (as sex is usually preformed on a bed, and the body is formed to see sexual activity as a time before sleep).

How to stop wet dreams for good: (or decrease the chance- but I like to be confident because we're awesome and confident and bold even over the small stuff... GO NOFABTRONAUTS!!!)

If cleanliness is an issue, simply put a towel under you to prevent getting seminal fluid onto your sheets (if you dress down), have a change of underwear with you along with a rag to clean yourself off. You could take a bath or shower to calm you down (lots of times, people trying to reboot or recover from sexual addiction are upset from wet dreams- but hey, we don't know as much about wet dreams, how to handle them, as we should; knowledge about this topic is very limited still. If you come onto this site, and you take the time to read these fun informative posts, your doing nothing wrong. Stay an awesome troop, a dear comrade apart of this community, take a nice calming bath, drink some coffee, love how awesome your being (but lets not be prideful- we're all awesome on this site!)

Garlic is known to reduce blood from going to the genital area (allicin is the actual structure in the garlic at this work). Eat some. This is also an excuse to tell your wife when she hates your breadstick garlic breath before sleep... tell her it's not a breadstick... but an herbal medicine.

RELAX before bed. RELAX RELAX RELAX!!! (but don't yell it like I did. Kind of ironic to ask you to relax but scream it on text). Drink tea, read a book, watch a boring documentary about turtles in 1400's Europe, do some stretches, etc. Relax to get your mind off of sexual activities and their associated thoughts. Do some painting, some writing (write a book about your sexual addiction journey to help others), take a walk in the moonlight around the block before bed. All of these and so much more can help you reduce the chance of a wet dream.

Don't worry. If you tremble in bed fearing you might get a wet dream, you most likely will. Calm down and remind yourself things happen. Count sheep jumping over the fence, into space, high-fiving nofaptronauts. Anything is possible if you learn to stay calm in a storm (most storms are only figures in your head). Get real and know the life wholesomely. Why are we here on this site? We want to give up what brings us only short, harmful joy, in order that we learn to see life wholesomely, and to be truly happy.
Love yourself fellow soldier, we'll get through this.

Just explaining why they happen, nothing too complicated.

 

Awesome!! You're doing a great job.

 

Most of my wet dreams were indeed sexual. But I've got few that 100% weren't sexual and then I wake up with "stuff" all over my legs. I also had many wet dreams when I woke up in the morning all sticky but can't remember anything. 99% my "sexual" wet dreams once I woke up I didn't feel like after PMO, quite otherwise I was freaking happy, because it was just a wet dream, I was already scared that I fucked up my streak. As I said once in the other topic I believe you can only partially control them and they are essential part of your PMO reboot, they will diminish with time.
