Nocturnal emission/wet dream. Let's make a list of what increase the frequency.

Hey guys,


I wanted to make a list of what can lead to more frequent Nocturnal emissions/wet dreams, please feel free to add in!

Also , I understand that certain people don't think we can reduce/stop this bodily function and I respect that. Personally, I do believe semen retention is possible with practice and it's part of my spiritual belief. In terms of science, there isn't much to back either for or against.

Anyway, on to the list!

1) Fantasizing
I think this is where people who have multiple wet dreams in a week stand. If you engage in the fantasy that pops into your mind, you're encouraging a wet dream to come/even potential relapse. I suggest diverting your mind the very second it pops into your mind.

2) Hormonal change(NOFAP puberty, yay!)

This is my theory, I think our baseline testosterone over time increases (most people engage in more healthy activities while doing nofap exercise/better diet/supplements etc) which over the long haul will increase T levels. Until this stabilizes you'll experience scattered emissions. It's like going through another puberty and I don't we can stop this emission from happening. Once your baseline T levels (not the 7 day spike) stabilize, it will stop.

3) Too much water before bed.

Our body's protective mechanism for not peeing while we sleep is a boner. Boner + moving around in your sleep increases the likelihood of unwarranted stimulation and an emission to occur.


4) Anger/Anxiety/Stress. Emotional management.

In the beginning of your reboot, this is difficult to handle, hell even mid-long term reboot there can be days that are really tough. Meditation is key. If you go through these emotions you get tense, your body is used to MO to relieve the tension so overnight it will do just that to relieve your tension. Flatline/ paws tension is rough. I'm wondering if sadness and depression can affect this as well.

5) Tight boxers/pj pants

Try looser boxers at night. This + some irritation for a nocturnal emission caused me to have another one the day after. 2 days in a row basically.


6) Racy TV shows/movies

As you go along your reboot, your brain will start to unwind to more tame sexual interest for arousal. A lot of TV shows/movies have softcore porn sex scenes at this point. Just fast forward it as it shows up and don't watch something intense that keeps you on edge at night. (Tension build up)

There's what I have so far friends! Please feel free to chime in and add to the list! Very curious what else can be cause.

 

Nice share! You're right about the heat and I completely forgot to mention social media content lol.

Also for "Too many porn flashbacks" is pretty much on par with fantasizing. Because when the flashback appears in your throughout the day, at that moment you have control. Either interrupt and redirect with a mantra , something you'll repeat each time or engage in and run the risk of nocturnal emissions or relapse.

 

Of course, it’s not a spiritual mantra or anything(you can make it so if you like) what worked for me was writing out exactly what is going on (the reality I mean) and be empathetic with myself.
“I understand, I’ve consumed it for a long time, so it’s normal for it to pop up. Just like a pop up on the internet, telling me I won a free trip/money/prize, I know that’s it’s a liar and a thief. A liar because it I’m not actually experiencing what pops up into my mind and a thief because it robs me of my energy, my nerve, my mood (put in whatever is personal to you) . And just like a pop up on the internet, I discard it for the trash that it is.(you can even visualize crumpling up the image that appeared and throwing it into the trash)”

Of course, I highly suggest you write something that is more personalized to you, and repeat it anytime a fantasy pops up. As I mentioned other brothers write it out multiple times in a day as well, to keep it in memory. It’s crucial that you keep repeating it when fantasy pops up for this to be effective in reducing the frequency and detail of fantasy.

 

Here ya go :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnal_penile_tumescence

The quote " The possibility of a full bladder causing an erection, especially during sleep, is perhaps further supported by the beneficial physiological effect of an erection inhibiting urination, thereby helping to avoid nocturnal enuresis[citation needed].9]"

If we did not have this, all men would wet the bed when they sleep at some point in time and most frequently. Also, it doesn't happen each time, i've woken up as well and just needed to pee without an erection. Probably because we wake up at the appropriate time. But if we're in a deep sleep and need to pee, we get a boner. I've woken up as well, with a boner and needing to pee. I have to wait until it goes down lol.

 

Thanks bro!

 

Interesting, thank you for sharing! In my case, this has not happened , would you nap longer than 20-30 minutes? It's very possible that the vivid dreams you mentioned are part of it, I would not sleep long enough to go into a dream state.
