Sleep wanking? a myth?

I've got exactly the same. I dream the weirdest stuff and usually wake up with the feeling that I've got to reset my counter. But I have no idea whether it was actually just a dream or whether I have been physically active. I guess the only way to find out is when you sleep next to someone who can tell you afterwards.

 

I've done it many times, but I sleep on my stomach and hump the bed so it's even easier for it to happen to me. It's so odd because it usually happens in the weird state between sleep and wakefulness. So it's like I'm aware of what's happening but powerless to stop it.

 

It happened to me around the 20 day mark too. I went through something similar to what MelancholyWeightlifter mentioned. I usually sleep on my stomach so mid erotic dream I realised I was dry humping the bed so I flipped over to my sleeping on my back. It happened for a couple of days, used the same method to counter it. A week later it just stopped.

 

When you do this, do you mark it down as a wet dream or masturbation? I am not sure it is possible to be aware of what is happening and yet feel powerless to stop it.

 

Hey,

I've been diagnosed with slow wave sleep parasomnia where I basically interact with the 3rd phase of my sleep, the lucid dream state. So many times I've gotten up in the middle of the night, walked somewhere (within my house) masturbated and then gone back to sleep. My problem is that when it's happening I know I'm doing it but I can't stop myself, it's kind of like being hypnotised, so when I wake up I instantly remember and feel totally ashamed. Fortunately I'm on medication for this the past few years so I don't do it that much now but I do sometimes maybe when I'm stressed or anxious etc.

I remember one time a few years ago I had full on sex with my pillow, it wasn't a pillow in my head that night I can assure you but that was when I was in a super bad place with my sleep walking!! (blush)

Hope this helps answer your question a little, and please have a laugh if you like

 

It's like something in between Vertigo. I have no idea. I usually wake up WHEN I'm ejaculating. Then I just immediately fall back asleep. It might even be that I'm having a wet dream and I just start thrusting at the end. Only solution is to train myself to sleep on my back I think.

 

I think he feels powerless when reflecting back upon it. Hmm do people normally touch themselves when they have a wet dream?

 

OK, I see what you mean Mel. I would put this sown to a wet dream. You may not remember the dream itself but the involuntary thrusting is vigorous enough not just to make you cum but also to wake you up. In my own case, I often don't remember the dream. Regardless, I never wake up at the time, so I do not know if I am pumping my dick when I cum. I do not feel the orgasm, I just discover my semen on the sheets when I wake up later. I think that the way people experience wet dreams varies greatly. I sleep on my side, so I definitely do not hump the mattress.

 

This is interesting as i supposedly had a wet dream last night and didn't wake up though it but masturbating in your sleep could be possible because of muscle memory and just being really used to moving your arm in a certain way when your hormones are high while sleeping..
also I usually sleep facing upwards towards the sheets.

 

My story is similiar but even weirder. I had an erotic dream, then realized i was humping the bed and thought "its not a bad thing when not using hands, right?". But later I realized that this episode was also a dream, and the first one was a dream within a dream. Because in the dream I ejaculated into the sheets while in reality everythingw was clean. And I was also sleeping on my back.

In general I think that many (not all) of this "wanking in sleep" stories are actually dreams. In the past having dirty sheets in the morning was considered sinful, because they thought you were touching yourself in sleep. Today we know that the body can ejaculate without any physikal stimulation.

 

I've had something similar happen to me. I was sleeping with a girl and would wake up with her hand down my shorts with my hand around her's doing the work. Definitely not a dream since she remembered it too
