    Also, what are your view on wet dreams? Do you view them as a relapse, or do you see them as a healthy release for the body?

    Wet dreams are linked to fantasies and wishing to be with a partner in my view. They are a sign of seeking love from outside and of desire. This is normal of course but ultimately all love comes from within. Therefore having a laugh and not taking things too seriously lightens the sexual pressure load. The thing is not to hold onto sexual desire and instead try and understand and love others. Letting go of desire strengthens the connection. So wet dreams and fantasies can happen and of course they will happen but it is not to hold onto them or take them seriously.

    Hmm, I had a few wet dreams when I first put some decent streaks together of one or two months. But after a while they were replaced by an occasional oozing of semen coming out when I had a pee (or even a poop). That seems to be the status quo for me now, but I don't know what significance it has, if any. o_O

    I just answered a similar question a few days back in offtopic. Here's what I posted, edited for this thread,

    Wet dreams aren't unusual if you used to masturbate a lot and have suddenly stopped doing so. Your body has to discharge the semen it's produced. It is slightly uncommon to occur in a person over 20 years but I would attribute it to the fact that you've stopped masturbating. In addition to that, there are many reasons why a person dreams and some scientists attribute it to a persons thoughts through the day or his unsatisfied urges. Both are possible in your case. If all you're thinking about is porn or masturbation or how to avoid them, your mind is occupied only by those thoughts. Your refusal to satisfy your urges acts as an add on to that.

    I've never had a wet dream cause I used to jerk off a lot even during my puberty and my friends did. So, I went on to google and ended up researching on the topic extensively.

    Well, I'm four months no PM. My mind isn't so occupied with pornography, and I get them once every one to two weeks. I'm turning 18 soon.

    If the frequency is as you suggest and you're just turning 18 then it's just a natural occurrence. As to why you're dreaming, only you could answer it as there are multiple reasons. It could just be your body's reaction to avoid blue balls.

    Since they're natural and unavoidable, they aren't a relapse.
