    Hey folks,

    currently on my latest streak, I have had two wet dreams triggered by erotic dreams in a space of 2 days.

    Anyone got any links to what the function of Wet Dreams are especially during NoFap.

    Don't know I never had one. Is that normal? I've never really thought about it before.

    Well, I've had three since doing NoFap, they're honestly the only three wet dreams I've had in my life, I am 30 years old, its a strange feeling for sure.

    It's normal. Back before I ever started PMO (I didn't start til about age 20), I would get a wet dream at least every couple weeks or so. Don't sweat it!

    Flowed like a river for me this morning after 71 days on the morning of day 72

    I don't know if this will effect my pied / ed now
     
  7. They make me feel more masculine. Every wuss can MB, but you've got to be a real man to ejaculate even when you are asleep. Sadly, I feel more tempted the day or two after the dream.

    Do you know if they effect physical benefits?
     
  9. No, but I guess they do.
     
  10. Wet dreams are great, I like them. They feel so natural and release tension without doing any harm to my conscience. I remember when I had my first wet dream after I started my first journal here, and felt just really bad because I didn't know how to deal with it. I had read that it's natural and doesn't do any harm to your reboot, but it was all new and strange. There are so many fapstronauts here that didn't experience wet dreams as teens. That's because they were masturbating so often(including myself) that their bodies didn't need to get rid of the stuff by itself(via wet dreams aka nocturnal emissions) and never got a chance, until now. Nocturnal emission is completely natural and just a normal bodily function like sweating.

    Here's one source of information about WDs.

    Some males are wired to have frequent wet dreams and some to have few or none. Kinsey wrote that many males think that they don't have wet dreams because they masturbate a lot; but he rather thought that they have increased desire to masturbate because they don't have wet dreams. During my teens, I masturbated regularly and had only two times when I ejaculated while asleep. Both times, I dreamed that I was masturbating; so I have no way of knowing whether I was physically fapping in my sleep, or if they were generated by the mind alone. Since I've quit fapping, I've had several "dry dreams," complete with dreamed orgasms but no ejaculations. I've also awakened on the very verge of ejaculation and thought that it was going to happen, but it didn't. I view all of these experiences as natural ways for the mind and body to keep the sexual circuits alive and well in the absence of any intentional activity by us.
