Probably every sexually mature male at least once in his life woke up in the middle of the night from a voluptuous sensation and, finding himself wet underwear, asked himself the question: "Why do I cum in my sleep?"

A similar phenomenon is referred to in medicine as nocturnal emissions and consists in the flow of sperm from the penis during sleep. Why does a man end up in his sleep, how dangerous can it be, and is it possible to somehow deal with such a condition? Let's figure it out.

Wet dreams - what is it?

Wet dreams are involuntary ejaculations occurring in the stronger sex outside of masturbation or sexual intercourse. In fact, this is a normal ejaculation due to sexual arousal and accompanied by an orgasm.

Emissions occur without sexual intimacy between a woman and a man, which is how they differ from premature ejaculation that occurs before the start of an intimate relationship. Despite the fact that this kind of ejaculation is considered to be a normal phenomenon from a physiological point of view, many men, andespecially teenagers are afraid to admit this to their loved ones, and the phrase “I cum in my sleep” seems very shameful to them.

Appearance frequency

According to research, up to 83% of men have experienced orgasms during their night's sleep at various times in their lives. The age of appearance of the first nocturnal ejaculations and their frequency depend on the individual characteristics of a person, his state of he alth, orientation of interests and lifestyle.

In adolescents and young men, on average, wet dreams are observed once a week, while in adult men - once a month. But at the same time, it should be borne in mind that with prolonged abstinence from intimacy with a woman, wet dreams may occur more often.

Many members of the stronger sex often think that since I cum in my sleep, then there is a high probability of developing spermatorrhea - a condition in which sperm is constantly released, even when urinating. In reality, erection and orgasm are not characteristic of this disease, and the sperm itself flows out in small portions and very slowly. Therefore, there is simply no reason for fear.

"Cum in my sleep". Possible Causes in Boys

It is simply impossible to predict the moment of occurrence of wet dreams, as well as to control the course of this process. So, this picture can be described as follows: the young man sleeps soundly at night, and at this time his body gives the brain a signal that too much seminal fluid has accumulated and it is necessary to get rid of it. Next, the brain tries to find some desires that are importantmemories and brings sexual content to them. As a result, a dream is created that contributes to the appearance of pollutions. And if earlier the boy was tormented by doubts whether it was really possible to finish in a dream, now he was convinced of this from his own experience.

In young men aged 12 to 18, the hormonal system functions very actively, and as a rule, proper sexual discharge does not occur. For this reason, the body tries to prevent the excessive accumulation of sex hormones and does this solely with the help of wet dreams.

"Cum in my sleep". Possible causes in adults

In adult men, nocturnal emissions may occur due to sexual abstinence. This phenomenon contributes to the regular evacuation of sperm and alleviates such hard-tolerated consequences of abstinence as spontaneous erection, the concentration of the psyche mainly on sexual topics.

For adult men who have not had intimacy with women for a long time, nocturnal ejaculations are a kind of adaptive mechanism aimed at eliminating the excess volume of seminal fluid accumulated in the genitals. It can be said that wet dreams to some extent compensate for sexual life, and with its onset they stop on their own.

Emissions - the norm or deviation?

Specialists agree that wet dreams are an absolutely natural phenomenon that does not indicate any deviation. Frequent nocturnalejaculations, which also occur against the background of existing sexual contacts, may be evidence of a man's hypersexuality.

Surprisingly, not only a lack of sex or an erotic film viewed on the eve of sleep can cause such a state, but even a plentiful dinner. This is due to the fact that the full intestine puts pressure on the prostate gland, as a result of which there is a high probability that the brain will receive a signal to release the overflowing seminal vesicles from excess seminal fluid.

Recommendations for preventing wet dreams

"I cum while I sleep, what should I do about it?" - this is exactly what every representative of the stronger sex thinks after a “wet” night. The tips below will help, if not get rid of this such condition, then minimize the likelihood of its occurrence. So let's get started:

1. Before going to bed, you should ventilate the room every time and try not to let the room temperature get too high at night.
2. If possible, you need to have a fairly full sex life, since it is precisely its absence that is the main cause of wet dreams. In the absence of a sexual partner, you can avoid nocturnal ejaculations with the help of masturbation.
3. It is important to observe the rules of hygiene of the genital organs, because the presence of even minor inflammatory processes that have arisen as a result of insufficient cleanliness of the glans penis can also provoke nocturnal emissions.
4. Due to the fact that during a stormy sleep, underwear can stimulate the head of the penis and thereby bringman to orgasm, it is best to sleep naked.
5. Hiking at night, hardening the body and doing active sports contribute not only to the improvement of the body, but also help to avoid "wet" dreams.

Wet dreams are a normal and natural phenomenon, which should not be ashamed, because it can happen to absolutely every representative of the strong half of humanity.
