WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS ("WET DREAMS")?

I experienced my first wet dream when I was 13. All I remember is thinking, "Oh man! I'm too old to wet my bed, so what the hell is this?" I soon figured out what it was. I have had a strange experience though, I once woke up during a wet dream, just as I was about to ejaculate. It was fantastic, but strange because of the amount of semen I ejaculated. The whole experience was over in about 12 whopping spurts!

I had my first wet dream when I was 13 1/2 and it was the most wonderful experience ever. In my dream there was a completely naked, beautiful woman who came up to me (she was probably about 27) and started talking to me. I did not know that I was naked. All of a sudden, she grabbed by penis really hard and started to pump it really fast. When I woke up, I found that I had just had my first real wet dream.

I remember having two wet dreams. In each, I was having dreams of doing "stuff" with my friends. But in the second one, I woke up before I had an orgasm, and masturbated till I ejaculated. With the first one, I woke up with semen all over me.

I had my first and most memorable wet dream at 13. I was sleeping over at my cousin's house. All evening we talked about sex. We finally went to sleep and in the middle of the night, I was dreaming about masturbating. There I was masturbating in this dream and I could feel my orgasm starting to build. As it built, it felt incredible. I reached the point of no return and started to climax. Suddenly I woke up to find myself and the sheets covered in semen and my penis still throbbing. It was one of the most intense and explosive orgasms I remember. I often tried to recapture that experience by not masturbating for days to allow it to build up, but I could never hold out long enough.

I was raised in a very religious home and this was reflected in my wet dreams. In the dream, there was always a wedding before it turned sexual. I could never see the bride's face. Two dreams were very disturbing. One dream involved sex with my sister on the bathroom floor. Another was with my pastor and his son. Both were exposing their erections and I came just by looking at them.

I had a "nocturnal emission" this past June — my first. I really didn't like it, and was grossed out when I woke up in the morning with semen sticking to me :P. I became interested in finding out why and how much this occurs. When I found this site on the Internet, I learned that masturbation reduces your nocturnal emissions. I guess that started making me want to masturbate more. Before my wet dream, I had masturbated only once every month or two. Now I masturbate two or three times a day.
- age 13, Wisconsin

I've had one wet dream, which was accompanied by a really strange erotic dream. I dreamed I was in a museum and there were these African fertility statues. They made men extremely horny and after being around them for awhile I just climaxed right there. That was it and it felt quite good.
- age 17, Washington

I'm a huge fan of nocturnal emissions (wet dreams). My first ejaculation and orgasm actually occurred during sleep when I was having a wet dream. I had many of these dreams before I actually began to masturbate at age 13. I've heard many guys in the chat rooms say they've never had one. Perhaps they began to masturbate way too early. They don't know what they've missed. Wet dreams are really cool. The orgasms are great and you usually have them during a really hot sex dream. The point when you are having an orgasm in the dream coincides with the actual orgasm or wet dream. I haven't had one in a while, though. I usually have them when I can't masturbate for a while.
- age 16, Puerto Rico

As a woman, I don't have the same kind of nocturnal emissions that guys do. However, even at my "advanced age," I occasionally wake up feeling sexually aroused. This condition follows rather erotic dreams. More often than not, I'm wet with lubrication and quite in the mood to either make love or, if that's not possible, to masturbate. Although a few women I've talked to also experience this, I still feel very much in the minority.
- age 36, California (female)

I only had one wet dream. I've been masturbating since before I could ejaculate. I was about 14. I dreamt about some sexy girl, and in my dream gradually became more and more excited. When I climaxed in my dream I also climaxed in real life. Then I woke up and was annoyed to find that not only was I not with this girl after all, but that I'd soaked my sheets as well!
- age 18, United Kingdom

So far, I have not experienced a wet dream, and I hope I never will. I do have erotic dreams occasionally, but they have never been "wet."
- age 16, New York

I have never had a wet dream, even though when my friends asked, I lied and said that I did because they all did. In health class we learned that a wet dream happens to all boys going through puberty. I was worried I was different until I read on JackinWorld that many guys, especially guys who masturbate often, never have wet dreams. I masturbate quite often, above the average of JackinWorld surveys, and more then all my friends. Now I don't worry about it. I do have erotic dreams, just never with ejaculation.
- age 15, Canada

I remember in my dream feeling really good...like I was actually having an orgasm...because I was!
- age 19, Canada

I remember dreaming about having intercourse with somebody. I don't remember if they were male or female. But I remember ejaculating in my dream and then waking up to find that I ejaculated in real life as well!
- age 16, Pennsylvania

I've had them, but before I discovered masturbation. Once I began having orgasms as frequently as I wanted them, I no longer had wet dreams. I did stop masturbating for two months, mostly to see if I could, and bingo. The wet dreams started again. So I figure they are a release when there are no regular orgasms. What I remember is that I wake up just as I am having an orgasm and it's too late to stop the mess in my pajamas. It does not feel as good as an orgasm that I cause. I usually have some sexy dream, though I never recall the details. I think orgasms from masturbation are far better than those from wet dreams.
- age 16, California

My very first sexual experience was a nocturnal emission. I was 11 years old and I awakened to find something wet in my pajamas. I thought I had wet the bed, but it wasn't urine. I was sure I was sick, maybe even had cancer. I got my Dad out of bed and we had a very long talk about the changes that were happening to me. He apologized for not having prepared me better for my "entry into manhood." Then he helped me put my pajamas and bed linens in the laundry. I really had a lot of respect for my father for being so honest and candid with me. I've always felt like we could talk about anything.
- age 33, Virginia

I've had about six wet dreams. Each starts with me rolling around on the ground with another person. My penis gets hard (both in the dream and in real life) and then the girl in my dream grabs it. Usually, I feel like I'm about to ejaculate and pull away from her, but end up ejaculating anyway. When I wake up, I find that I have ejaculated. I know some people who remember nothing about wet dreams, but I do.
- age 16, Ontario

I had them a few times before I learned how to masturbate to ejaculation around age 12. I didn't remember the dreams themselves. I also have nocturnal emissions if I quit masturbating for more than a day or two. The content of these dreams is usually me having sexual foreplay, masturbating myself, or watching someone else do it.
- age 23, Connecticut

I was 36 before I ever had one and I haven't had one since. It was about the longest I had ever gone without masturbating. On a week-long office retreat, the women stayed in one room and the guys all in a bunkhouse room. It was a nice night of flirting and just plain getting nasty. My first wet dream comes in a bunkhouse with a dozen guys! BTW: Did you know that bleach just makes the stain yellow?
- age 41, Texas

I haven't had one, but I want one so my parents don't know that I masturbate. I am considering masturbating in my boxers and under the covers without propping them up so it looks like I had a wet dream.
- age 14, Nebraska

My first wet dream was when I was 15 and had stopped masturbating for a few weeks. I had an erotic dream about my sister. I woke up right after I ejaculated to find myself lying in a wet spot. The last wet dream I had was about two years ago. I dreamt about a male friend of mine whom I had masturbated a few years earlier. This time, I woke up before I ejaculated and caught it with my hand. It seems that the more regularly I masturbate, the fewer wet dreams I have.
- age 22, Canada

In the few wet dreams I have had, I dreamt of sex, ejaculated, and woke up all wet and sticky. It was a hollow feeling, to know that I ejaculated, but didn't have the usual joy that comes with it.
- age 17, New Mexico

Never had 'em, even now, six years after I've had diurnal emissions.
- age 19, Pennsylvania

I had one when I was 13. I remember dreaming about seeing a girl whom I had a crush on. Somehow we were both in the same locker room at school. I was standing at a urinal as she was walking into the showers. When she walked by me, I woke up, and felt my penis spasm. I thought I was peeing my bed, so I got up and went to the bathroom, where I found that my briefs had white stuff in them. Then I realized that I must have had an orgasm. I told my best friend about it, and he said, "Yep, you had a wet dream. You don't masturbate enough." So I started to masturbate every day after that, and didn't wake up anymore when I had sexy dreams.
- age 19, Pennsylvania

I haven't had wet dreams yet!
- age 15, Slovenia

I've had only one. I was in high school and I remember it distinctly. I awoke as I was ejaculating and had dreamed that I was having sex with one of my father's unattractive male employees. I lay there wondering how anything could feel so good with someone I found so physically repugnant.
- age 69, Texas

I've had about ten wet dreams in my lifetime. Sometimes, I was dreaming about masturbating. Others, I was dreaming about having sex with a girl. I've even had dreams where I'm having sex with a guy. I always wake up right after I climax and realize what has happened. I hate having wet dreams because it makes such a mess. I used to think that the only time I had them was when I had gone a long time without masturbating. But recently, I had a wet dream the night after I had masturbated three times.
- age 17, Florida

I've never had a wet dream. Nor do I want one. I'd rather masturbate and get the extra semen out that way than to wake up and have semen all over me.
- age 15, North Carolina

I don't have "wet dreams" very often, but there is one experience that sticks in my mind. I was spending the night at a friend's house. We had both just fallen asleep. I started to dream about meeting a girl in the alley of my grandmother's house. I asked her if she wanted to "dry hump." I was young at the time and didn't think about actually having sex. She agreed and we started to do it. I woke up right as I ejaculated. I was humping the mattress when I woke up. Luckily, my friend was sound asleep.
- age 15, Texas

I experience a wet dream roughly two to three times per week. At first it was rather embarrassing, but now I realize that it is just a part of maturing. Due to personal beliefs, I refuse to have sex before marriage, or to masturbate. Thus, my only form of relief comes from wet dreams. Many of my coworkers make fun of me, and call me Bortz the Dream Maker. I ignore them. The only problem I experience is that my bed sheets become very hard and crusty, which makes my sleeping rather uncomfortable. Thank you for allowing me to get this problem off my chest.
- age 24, Washington DC

Often I dream that I am masturbating with friends. I am not gay, but that is what I dream about. I also dream that I am sucking my friends' penises sometimes. Does this mean I am gay?
- age 18, Indiana

I remember one wet dream in which I was masturbating. Just as I ejaculated in my dream, I woke up, with semen in my bed.
- age 15, Sweden

At age 24, I still have nocturnal emissions about once every six months. I am heterosexual, but I usually dream about being with men. I wake up right when I am ejaculating. The dreams are all very steamy and I wouldn't trade them for anything because I have no desire to be with another guy in real life. But hey, in your dreams anything goes!
- age 24, New Jersey

I've only had maybe four or five wet dreams. They're always sexual, but I'm not necessarily having sex in the dream. The first time, when I was about 13, I dreamt I was at a school dance and a girl I didn't know was coming on to me. I ejaculated when my dream-self pressed up against her during a slow dance. Even at that age, I knew what nocturnal emission was and expected it, but I was still a bit surprised that first time.
- age 32, California

I have them about once a month in spite of masturbating at least twice a day. I don't really like wet dreams because of the mess, but I always like the different feeling — I suppose it is an orgasm — which goes with it. Being uncircumcised, I have been able, on a couple of occasions, to pull my foreskin forward and pinch it closed just at orgasm to catch my semen there and prevent the mess. Masturbating is much better.
- age 17, South Africa

My first dry orgasm at age 12 woke me up during the night. As time passed, my "wet dreams" began to actually be wet. By around 15, my underwear would be soaked. The dreams usually were about slow or explosive urination, bubbling beakers, or girls with spread legs. I'd feel the sensation building up while still asleep. Then a sort of "electric" tingle down there would eventually lead to an orgasm and usually bring me fully awake.
- age 30, New York

At 13, I got wet dreams and did not know what was happening. I wondered if I was peeing. ;-( Finally I told my mom and she sent me to the doctor. The doctor said I should drink no water or tea before going to bed. After a while, I found a little book about sexual education and so I learned what was happening. Two months before my 18th birthday I discovered masturbating, and so ended my wet dreams. ;_((
- age 25, Holland

I've had wet dreams at the ripe old age of 27. Usually they occur when I am having an intensely horny dream. I wake up right when I am ejaculating. I always have to change my boxer shorts and sometimes the sheets. It's so sticky. :)
- age 27, Dominican Republic

About twice a month I have a wet dream. I always dream about a friend or someone I really like! I love the experience but when I am around the person I dream about, I feel very uncomfortable.
- age 16, California

Usually I don't have any, because I masturbate quite often. But if I stop masturbating, I have wet dreams after a week or so. The sperm is usually thicker then.
- age 15, Germany

I started having them at 14, and still have them about every two weeks. If I masturbate a lot, I have wet dreams less frequently. They're kind of a bother, but a nice bother!
- age 16, Ohio

I've had a few wet dreams before, but they really weren't that enjoyable. Only one of them had to do with sex, the others were just weird (like walking around in Wal-Mart and all of a sudden ejaculating all over the floor). I also don't like them because afterwards, you have to get out of bed, change underwear, and wipe the semen out of your pubic hair.
- age 17, Texas

I have had many wet dreams over the years — usually if I haven't had an orgasm in a while. Occasionally, I have had two in the same night. Also, if I haven't had an orgasm in a while and then I masturbate or have sex, I have a wet dream later that night. My wet dreams are usually about someone I am attracted to, but it can be about someone or some situation that I had never fantasized about before. It usually takes only a few seconds of a sexual situation to result in orgasm, which never happens when I am awake. Sometimes I wake up as I climax and other times I wake up immediately after. Rarely, I don't wake up until the next morning.
- age 28, New Jersey

I have had, and still have wet dreams. Usually they are sexual, involving anything from masturbation through engaging in sex with both sexes. The dreams always end with orgasm and as I wake up, I am actually ejaculating. At times it has been hard (pardon the pun) to distinguish between actual and fantasy.
- age 44, Nova Scotia, Canada

The first time I had a wet dream was my first ejaculation. I was about 13 and I hadn't started masturbating yet, so I hadn't even climaxed before. When I started having wet dreams, I would wake up to a wonderful feeling in my penis, then realize that I had semen in my underwear. It took me a few times to recognize that wonderful feeling as an orgasm. Since I've started masturbating I don't have wet dreams anymore, which is good. It's too difficult to clean up.
- age 17, Pennsylvania

I remember two dreams. In one, I've just gotten my driver's license and I'm driving in a rain storm. I crash my car and walk to a nearby house. A girl from my school answers the door, takes me in and tells me to get out of my wet clothes. I undress in front of her, but I don't remember anything else! I've had this dream more than once and like it, but sometimes I wake up wet. The other is in a big old school building in a big dark hall full of naked boys. Some of them start sucking each other's penises. Then I lay down and someone starts sucking my penis and boys start masturbating and ejaculating on me. Then I ejaculate. Once or twice, I woke up right then and actually ejaculated in my bed.
- age 14, Colorado

I have had wet dreams since age 11. I still have them, no matter how much I masturbate. I usually dream about both sexes in different situations. They are a nice, semi-lucid, hands-free way to relieve some sexual frustration, even if they are not really planned. I like them and think they are fun.
- age 20, Canada

I have never experienced a wet dream. Considering how common it seems to be, I have been wondering why. I have masturbated ever since I can remember, but didn't ejaculate until I was 12. I think wet dreams are a natural way to relieve the body and mind. Since I have been "relieving" myself actively all this time, I guess I haven't needed to have any "wet dreams". ;-)
- age 27, Sweden

In one of my strongest dreams I was having sex with my older sister's friend who's 17. The dream felt so real, the movements, touching her breasts and butt, kissing her, moving inside her (though I've never had real sex), and then I woke up felt the wetness in my underwear. It hadn't all soaked through, so I had some on my fingers. I ended up going to the bathroom to wash off my hands and change into a new pair of underwear. Then I couldn't get back to sleep because I kept remembering the dream, so I ended up masturbating.
- age 14, Florida

I have wet dreams about once every two weeks. When I wake up from one, I enjoy the feeling of relaxation that I have after ejaculation. Of course, I do have a mess between my legs, but it feels great. I always remember having a dream where I'm having sex or masturbating. When I ejaculate in the dream, I wake up and the crotch of my boxers is soaked with sticky semen.
- age 15, Arizona

I've never actually had a wet dream, although I've come very close. But the dream always ends, and I wake up wishing it hadn't.
- age 17, California

When I first entered puberty I had a few but not anymore.
- age 16, Canada

I think my first wet dream was when I was around 14. It wasn't unusual, I just remember it as annoying. Since I don't masturbate nearly as often as I did two or three years ago, I've had wet dreams once or twice a month. Sometimes it's a pain, because if I haven't masturbated in about three days, I'll have to masturbate one night just so I won't have to deal with a possible nocturnal emission later on.
- age 17, Pennsylvania

I have wet dreams if I don't masturbate for a few days and think about it before I go to sleep. Usually I dream that I am pleasuring myself either orally or manually. Unfortunately, I can only do the latter.
- age 22, Texas

I fell asleep in class and had a dream about this kid licking the hole of my penis. I ejaculated in my pants during anatomy. It was scary, but a great dream.
- age 16, Florida

I've had many wet dreams. Its weird because in the dream, I'm not usually the one having the orgasm. Instead, I'm bringing another male to orgasm.
- age 17, Arkansas

Just about every time I had one, I would dream of having sex with a young girl. As I was about to climax in my dream, I would wake to realize that I was ejaculating, but I didn't have an erection. It has been at least five years since my last wet dream and I really miss them.
- age 32, California

I never experienced wet dreams because I used to masturbate regularly. Only once when I stopped masturbating for weeks did I experience my first nocturnal emission. I wish it had happened more often, because I had never before ejaculated so much fluid. I dreamt of floating in a vast ocean and a huge pink shark-like fish approached me and entered my hard penis. I was breathless until I realized that it was just a dream and I had ejaculated!
- age 25, India

I had my first nocturnal emission when I was nearly 11. It's an unforgettable feeling. I had awakened in wet shorts with a beautiful feeling in my penis and scrotum. It was probably my first orgasm. Afterwards, I had wet dreams almost every night, and I remember liking it. A couple of months later I started masturbating and I had no more wet dreams.
- age 21, Ukraine

I have never had a wet dream because I never had the chance. By the time I got to bed, I was already out of semen. ;)
- age 22, Belgium

If I don't have sex or masturbate for three or four days, I will usually have a wet dream even at my age. My wet dreams are usually sexual and it is a different situation each time. Sometimes the dreams are somewhat kinky or perverted, which I do not find objectionable. In others, I dream about people whom I know, but would not normally find attractive or want to have sex with. I usually wake up during or right after of my orgasm but there have been times when I have not awakened until the next morning and everything is dried up and sticky. I also occasionally will urinate while sleeping, but dream that I have gotten up to go to the bathroom. I have even pinched myself to see if I was awake or asleep thinking I was awake. I went ahead and let it go only to find out I was really still asleep. Pretty strange huh? But all of it is true
- age 36, California

I remember a vivid dream of a younger man touching me orally and with his hands. It was quite intense and then I awoke with semen all over my legs and abdomen. At that time my dad had to tell me what the stuff was, but he never went into why it was a man and not a woman in my dreams. I figured that one out later, on my own. From "another person in that 10% of the population."
- age 26, Kansas

I have had many wet dreams usually when I haven't masturbated for a few days
- age 16, Ireland

I've only had one wet dream, and in it I felt like I really had to go to the bathroom, so I just sat down and went. But I didn't pee, I ejaculated.
- age 15, New Jersey

I had my first wet dream at 14. I started masturbating every day at 13. When I was 14 I tried to stop masturbating for several days. I never lasted longer than a day or so. But once I held off for three days. I went to bed that evening and shortly after falling asleep, I had a cool dream. Finally, I dreamt that I had an ejaculation. I awoke and found out, that I had slept only half an hour and my pajamas were totally wet. It was the thickest semen I've ever seen. I tried to provoke such cool, wet dreams a few times. It was quite easy, because I had to wait more than 3-4 days and then it came through the night. As I grew older, the time being abstinent had to be longer and longer, but I couldn't wait that long. I had to do it by hand after several days. Now I don't have any more wet dreams. I think it's because I can't stop masturbating for more than three days or so.
