For a long time, I felt like the odd man out. A lot of my friends talked about having "wet dreams," but I had never had one. As time passed, I learned that nocturnal emissions were fairly common. Although I would never admit it, I thought I knew the reason why I didn't experience this awesome thing — since I had learned about masturbation, I never allowed my body the opportunity to store enough semen up as to need to purge the pipes, so to speak. I finally had to accept that, despite the cause, I was just one of those people that was never going to have one. Then, during my mid 20s, I found myself in the most erotic dream I had ever had. In this dream, every single one of my fantasies was played out. In fact, in this dream I recall doing things that I couldn't even admit to myself that I might enjoy. As with most dreams, although they seem to play out for hours, the dream probably lasted just a matter of seconds. During the dream's climax, I sat straight up in bed and experienced a very powerful orgasm. Despite having had an almost immeasurable number of orgasms previously, it totally surprised me. For several months after this experience, I tried desperately to recreate not only the resulting "wet dream," but also to recreate the dream itself. Unfortunately, that was my one and only "wet dream." I'm not discouraged by this, because I know a second experience can happen as suddenly and as unpredictably as the first

This Week's Wackiest Response:
I woke up one morning and was dreaming about Corvettes. I had 'Vette dream!

I've had plenty of them, but mostly some years back. I didn't masturbate until I was 15 years old. I had them for quite a while; I didn't start masturbating until I was 17(!) so I had a lot of them. They would go off like clockwork — every 5th night with little exception. And oddly enough, I would remember the dream before it more clearly than any other dream I had. In fact, I still remember many of them years later, and they have found their way into my standard "library" of fantasies, used over and over again. Again, rather oddly, I would remember the feeling of semen rushing out when I woke up, much more than I remembered the actual orgasm. And there was always a lot of semen; it was a mess to clean up. Finally, I never woke up after a "wet dream" with an erection; it was always soft.

The sex-education teachers always told us about them, but I've never ever had one. Maybe it's because I masturbate about 4 times a week. I can ejaculate, but I've never had a "wet dream." So, I reckon only some people must get them.
- age 14, New Zealand
I haven't had a "wet dream" in years and years. I didn't start masturbating until age 21, so I had "wet dreams" until then. They are quite fun. I wish I still had them. I'm a light sleeper, so I would have erotic dreams (usually about other guys, even though I am straight), and I would wake up just before I would ejaculate and then be awake for the whole thing.

My experience is not that great — I've had only one, because I masturbate often. I remember that I was dreaming that I was having sex with a female in the woods and then a wolf came up and started to jump on us, and that is when I woke up and felt my leg — it was sticky.
- age 14, Virginia
"Wet dreams" were a regular part of my life from age 12 through 15. Unfortunately, I had no idea what they were; none of my friends ever mentioned them, and I had no idea how to approach them or my parents. At one point, when I did tell my mother I woke up with big wet spots on my jammies, she dismissed my statement by saying, "Don't drink so much water after supper." Years later, I learned she was waiting for my father to talk to me, but he never did. Once I figured out how to masturbate, the problem resolved itself. I still have one occasionally, but now I enjoy it. I would have benefited so much from JackinWorld had it existed when I was an adolescent. Oh well, better late than never.
- age 63, Michigan
I had these frequently in my early teens from when I was 13 to 15 years old. I'm now 17 and get them less often. However, when I do, it actually feels like I'm in the dream, and ejaculating there and then — until I wake up with a large wet spot on my boxers. I'm lucky if I can remember anything from the dream.

I'm a junior in college. My one and only "wet dream" was my very first experience with ejaculation and I was terrified. I was 11 (almost 12) when it happened. I thought I was sick or dying of cancer. I woke up my step-dad, and he was great about the whole thing. He helped me change the sheets and put the others in the laundry. After I cleaned myself up and changed pajamas, he stayed up with me until I felt tired again. My step-dad explained that I wasn't sick or dying, and that "wet dreams" would happen occasionally. He also talked to me more in depth about sex (he and my mom had told me the basics and there was the stuff that I had picked up from my friends) and answered a lot of questions. Later on in the late 90s, my step-dad gave me the URL for JackinWorld. The rest is history, which probably explains why I haven't had another "wet dream." Thanks JackinWorld!
- age 21, Virginia
I have never had a "wet dream." When I was younger, I used to think that I was abnormal or something was wrong with me. Then I discovered JackinWorld and realized that masturbating three times a day might have been the reason. I thought about it and decided that I wasn't going to trade masturbating for wet sheets.
- age 15, Michigan
I've had a few erotic dreams. They usually occur when I have gone to bed thinking out fantasies. I do this a lot when I go to bed early and alone, in case I have trouble sleeping. I find it usually helps me get to sleep faster and I'm quite entertained until I do sleep. It's a lot less frustrating than lying in bed, tossing and turning, and getting cranky about it. I must admit that one little fantasy of mine is to be in bed with my boyfriend when he experiences a "wet dream," but as we are sexually active, I doubt there'll be enough buildup for this to happen. Apparently he did have one when we first slept in the same bed (before any sexual contact), and I had no idea! Bummer!
- age 20, Australia (female)
I get them only when I haven't masturbated to orgasm in some time, usually two weeks or so — but when I do, they're usually very pleasurable. However, the actual dreams are often impossible to remember.
- age 16, New Jersey
I'm aware of having had a nocturnal emission only once, when I was a freshman in college. I don't remember the content of the dream at all, except that it was sexual; what I do remember is being jolted awake by the sensation of having an orgasm and realizing that I'd had a "wet dream." Although I prefer sleeping naked, at the time I was wearing a pair of briefs, which was fortunate because I didn't have to worry about cleanup. My roommate didn't wake up, and I soon went back to sleep myself.

I can remember one dream very specifically. I was in a deep pool near the bottom. I started to swim up toward the top and the closer I got to the surface the better it felt. When I reached the top, I climaxed and then awoke. I haven't been swimming lately.

Except for plenty of masturbation, I was sexually inexperienced at 18 or 19 years of age when I had my first and only "wet dream." A 16-year-old third-cousin and his family had been visiting from Europe, and I developed a "look but don't touch" crush on him both during this visit and my previous visit with his family. Near the end of his visit, we slept side by side in a tent on a camping trip. During the night, he rolled over and, placing his arm over my mid-section, murmured in his sleep, "Oh, [my name]." My body trembled with uncontrollable shivers as I lay there, willing myself back to sleep. I awoke some time later just at the end of a very productive orgasm that had filled my late-1970s bikini underwear. I was shocked, but I knew exactly what had happened and lay there with my cousin's arm over me while I basked in the afterglow of a very intense sexual experience that I will never forget. Thanks, cousin! (He never knew.)

I have never had a "wet dream." I started masturbating before I could ejaculate and have been doing it almost every night since. I have sometimes thought about abstaining from masturbation and making myself have a "wet dream," but I think I have more fun masturbating.
- age 15, Oregon
Honestly, I have never had a "wet dream" that I was aware of. I started masturbating when I was 11 years old. Probably my frequent masturbation stop kept "wet dreams" from happening.
- age 18, Wales, United Kingdom
I have "wet dreams" almost every night. I remember my first one — I was sleeping over at a friend's house; we were sleeping in the same bed. At first, I thought I had wet myself. I was gooey all in my underpants, and up my shirt. And his bed was wet. At first, he said I was gross, but later, he said he also had "wet dreams," and then he showed me JackinWorld on my computer and how to get to it without my parents knowing.
- age 13, Maryland
My last "wet dream" was when I was 12. I was in New York over my grandma's house during the time she was visiting a friend of hers. My dad and I drove from Maryland, and as soon as we got in, I fell asleep on her bed while I was looking at TV in her room. I had a dream that I was getting oral sex from a woman I didn't know on a subway platform during rush hour. Once I had an orgasm, I woke up very excited until I realized half of my body and my grandmother's bed was covered with all this strange sticky white stuff. Suddenly, my dad walked into the room to tell me breakfast was ready, and then he just burst out laughing. He sat down and explained to me what a "wet dream" is, even though I already knew. Later that day, we bought my grandma some new sheets and threw the old soaked ones away. To this day, she doesn't know anything about it. What you don't know won't hurt ya!
- age 18, Maryland
I had a bunch of "wet dreams" as a child, and I still have them from time to time. I know it usually happens when I haven't masturbated in a while. I have figured out when my actual ejaculation happens because I'll consciously feel my whole body shudder for a few moments, and I get that wonderful feeling. It's usually associated with flying dreams for me. I don't know whether this is normal, but it's pretty cool.
- age 18, California
Never had one, never wanted one. It's Nature's way of punishing people who don't masturbate enough.
- age 60, Florida
Most of my "wet dreams" happened when I was between 14 and 16. I can't remember the dreams themselves, but I do remember that they were very vivid, quite detailed, and highly sexual in nature. I remember waking up feeling very warm, light, and disoriented. I distinctly recall feeling that it was imperative to relax a muscle inside me that I had no name for. I would give in and relax that muscle, and it suddenly felt like I was floating in a placid lake. That's usually when I would wake up enough to realize that thick semen was flowing unstoppably from my penis, soaking my underwear and sheets and leaving me feeling free and euphoric until I woke up enough more to scramble guiltily for tissues to minimize the mess on the sheets. Of course, now that I do my own laundry and don't have to worry, I don't really have them anymore!

My friends and I are very open about our sexuality. We talk about masturbation all the time and even give each other tips. At the beginning of Lent, we all agreed to give up masturbation as a sacrifice. After masturbation-free 10 days, I had a "wet dream." I dreamed about having sex with a girl I have known for 3 years. In my sleep, I could feel my penis pumping out the semen. I awoke a while later not knowing I had had a "wet dream" until I got up and noticed that my boxers were very soggy in the front. I then felt my sheets and they were soaked, also. It was an experience unlike any other, but I don't think I would want to do it again. I enjoy masturbation much more than "wet dreams." For anyone who is wondering, none of us made Lent; by day 20, we had all given up.
- age 16, Wisconsin
I started having them in my teens and they continued until well into my 40s. I think in my case it was because I was always trying to suppress my masturbation frequency. I used to have one at least once a week, and although you would think it was quite a mess, my nocturnal emissions were colorless and didn't show up as a stain on the sheets, so I was never too worried about the evidence. The dreams often involved masturbating with or around a friend, which was my main sexual activity anyway, only alone. Like most dreams, they didn't make much immediate sense to me. I don't have them anymore, but actually masturbate more now than I did then.
- age 58, Ohio
I started masturbating regularly before I could ejaculate, so I never had a "wet dream" early on. However, I occasionally have lucid dreams (when you know you're dreaming and can control it), and on two or three occasions I have been able to consciously masturbate to orgasm in my dream. This produces sensations far beyond what I can achieve in reality, along with sticky sheets in the morning.
- age 19, Canada
I had one just last night, which was wonderful. I welcome them whenever they occur, although the mess can be a hassle at times. This one was actually accompanied by a sexual dream, whereas most of my other nocturnal emissions have been dreamless, or occurred when I dreamt that I was urinating. Isn't that weird? My first "wet dream" happened when I was 12. I remember waking up with the feeling that I had peed in the bed, but noticed this gooey white stuff still oozing from my penis. I was a bit confused at first, but then figured out that it must be sperm (I didn't know the term "semen" at that age). This experience soon led to my masturbation journey.
- age 23, New York
I recall my first "wet dream" at age 15. I dreamed it was a warm, sunny day and I was walking toward a handsome nude man. As I approached he began to radiate a warm brilliant light. As we embraced, the light encompassed us and I was engulfed in the feeling of full-body orgasm. I awoke ejaculating. For a long time, I longed to return to my dreams and meet him again. I came to realize that my dreams would be exclusively of men and that it all made sense. I was gay. Now that I'm in a regular relationship, I still have erotic dreams, though they haven't ended in orgasm since I was 17.
- age 42, Washington
Before that age, I had "wet dreams" regularly. It got to where I could tell which night I would have a nocturnal emission since I would be feeling particularly aroused before I would go to sleep. I had one every 3 days or so during that period of my life. However, I still have them despite the fact that I masturbate regularly. They happen only about once a month. The first time I had one, I knew exactly what had happened when I woke up. I was 13 at the time, so I was actually excited to have had one. The dream left me very content, better than any fantasy I could ever imagine. Each time I have a "wet dream," it's always accompanied by a very erotic dream; unlike some people that I've heard claim to be "peeing" or something of the sort in their dreams, my nocturnal emissions are always coupled with very sexually arousing dreams that fuel me for quite some time afterward. They're my favorite part of the month!

I remember my first one vividly. Three pretty girls from my junior high school were standing around, holding colored bath towels in front of their bodies. Suddenly all three towels dropped at once, revealing the girls' bare breasts. I awoke with my penis pumping violently. This distressed me because up to that point, I had largely succeeded in intermittently pleasuring my penis without ejaculating for weeks on end. (I had feared that the powerful contractions and loss of semen might somehow harm my body.) The pesky nocturnal emissions continued for about a year, until it dawned on me that I could cure myself of them simply by deliberately masturbating to orgasm every couple of weeks. The nocturnal emissions ultimately taught me to yield to my body's needs — sexual and nonsexual alike — but by that time, my attempts at self-control had also taught me that pleasure delayed is pleasure greatly enhanced.

My "wet dreams" are what confirmed for me that I am bisexual. When I have a dream about seeing a girl smile and look at me provocatively — and then have another dream about one of my best male friends, both with the same result — I realized just how into both sexes I am. It made me feel lucky and helped me to accept my recognition of the sexual beauty of both genders.

I've been having "wet dreams" for a few years now; not very frequently, but it does happen every now and again. These dreams usually occur right before I wake up, and I feel a strong desire to masturbate upon waking. The dreams usually involve me having intercourse with someone I like — boyfriends and even ex-boyfriends. My most memorable "wet dream" is one in which I was in the woods with my ex, and we were fooling around when suddenly he got an extremely large erection (two feet or so), and we had sex. That was one of the more bizarre ones; usually they are just dreams about normal sex.

I went to Greece for two weeks with my parents and had to share the room with my 11-year-old brother. Obviously, I couldn't find the right time to masturbate myself, so I went to bed every night with an erection. After 4 or 5 days, I had an erotic dream. When I woke up, my pajamas were full of semen. I was 17, so I knew about "wet dreams," but I had never had one. After that, I was forced to find a place where I could masturbate myself. So, every time we went to the beach, I would go to the public bathroom and do my stuff.
- age 19, Chile
I was about 13 when I started having "wet dreams." I had about one every other week. I was very ashamed about the dirty sheets and I didn't know what caused those emissions of semen. Actually, I thought that was because I was masturbating too much, so I tried to do it less often. However, regardless of my daytime masturbating habits, "wet dreams" grew less frequent every year and then stopped altogether when I was about 18. Now "wet dreams" are few and far between, maybe one a year. Anyway, when I haven't masturbated for a week or so, I do it even if I don't feel like it at all, just to prevent "wet dreams," because they are so messy (I sleep naked). I always wake up in the dead of night with an unpleasant feeling of dampness and have to change the sheets. I hardly ever have a spare set in my bedroom, so I must use time that I could be sleeping to find fresh sheets instead.
- age 23, Italy
When I was younger, nocturnal emissions occurred quite often. The strange thing was that in the beginning when this happened (before I could ejaculate), I used to feel an orgasm in my sleep yet my underwear was dry. Later on after I understood the meaning of these weird occurrences during my dreams and after I actually ejaculated during my sleep, I woke as a result and then had to clean up. Cleaning up the mess was the main thing I remember. I never wanted anyone to find out — talk about embarrassing!

I first started having "wet dreams" when I was 14. I had been getting horny for about a year and wanted to have sex so bad, but I didn't think it was possible to give myself an orgasm. I would play with my penis all the time and watch it get hard. The skin would get so tight... I would even see drips of pre-cum if I played with myself long enough. I never understood how an orgasm worked. In my first "wet dreams," I would be standing on a table totally naked, with girls all around looking at my penis. And finally one said, "Aw, look at his little penis," and started playing with it. I immediately started to ejaculate in my dream, and it was the best feeling ever! Immediately after this dream, I knew I could ejaculate, so I tried masturbating for the first time. I knew that if I had sex I would surely ejaculate, so I wanted to do it just like I was having sex. I lay down on my bed and starting thrusting into my hand. I had my left hand there to further simulate a vagina. I kept thrusting until I felt the awesome feeling that I had in the "wet dreams." It was the best feeling ever. Once I ejaculated, I examined it thoroughly because I was so interested in this. It was slightly clear. I have only had about 10 "wet dreams" in my life: three before I started masturbating and the rest every 6 months until I was 17 or 18.
- age 23, Ohio
I had my first "wet dream" when I was about 14. I had them about every two to three weeks until I was around 18 — this despite the fact that I was masturbating once a day. I always woke up just as I was ejaculating. I remember that the orgasms were very intense and produced a huge amount of semen. I actually liked them, except that they were very messy, and they stained my briefs and sheets.
- age 50, Michigan
I had only a few before I started to masturbate twice a day, as I do now. I always had a very intense dream, rarely sexual — usually about school events or being with mates — but like the scene in 40 Days and 40 Nights, I then had the feeling of a flood at the end and then you woke up to sticky boxers that you had to hide until they dried. Mind you, if I could stop pulling on myself for a while, maybe I'd have another, but I never managed to hold off tugging it long enough to make that happen.
- age 19, Scotland
I've had extremely pleasurable sex dreams since I was 12 or so — at first without specific images of sexual acts, and then with gained knowledge, very detailed ones. The best thing was and is that I almost always wake up just before climaxing, so that I can treble the pleasure by finishing myself off by hand as slowly or quickly as I please. For two years now, I've had frequent and very happy sex with a girl. The dreams continue, though less frequently. I still enjoy masturbating, alone and with her (though mostly alone), and I hope I'll be enjoying it seventy years from now. Happy masturbation is independent of happy partner sex; they satisfy different needs in different ways, and one doesn't exclude the other.

I have never had one! It's always seemed so strange to me, like an important thing I've missed.

I had my first "wet dream" when I was 12 or 13, and it scared the hell out of me. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling pain in my genital area, and my amazingly swollen penis was sore and throbbing. I quickly discovered that I had a bunch of sticky goo all over me and the sheets — what a mess! It seemed that the goo had squirted out of my penis. Since my parents had never discussed sex with me, I assumed I had some terrible disease. This happened several times before I had the nerve to mention it to my dad. Instead of taking me straight to the doctor's office as I expected him to do, he just smiled and told me it was perfectly normal and a good thing, and that it was a sign that I had become a man. Then he gave me my first birds-and-bees talk. I was amazed when he gently warned me that I was capable of making babies, so I should be very careful when I was alone with a girl — especially if she asked to see or touch *it.* I had no clue why any girl would want to do that, but I nodded in the affirmative anyway.

I recall waking up to a bit of moisture one school morning — I think I was in 6th grade, so I must have been 11 or so. It really freaked me out, because I wasn't too sure what had happened. I covered up the area, fell asleep on the floor, and went through a day of school. When I got back, my sheets had been washed (waking me up from the floor must have gotten my mother's attention) and I got a bit of the talk when my father got home. Though it was my first and only, I was terrified for a long time that I might have another, especially if I was at a friend's house. It was a moderately troubling experience.
- age 20, New York
A few months ago, I had my first "wet dream." It happened while I was dreaming about my friend and me masturbating each other. My erect penis was through the fly of my boxers when it happened, so my dark green sheets were very noticeably stained. This happened on a Friday night, Saturday my mom does laundry, and bedsheets are usually first. So, I sort of panicked and tried to hide the sheet in the closet but Mom found it and asked why it was there. I told her and we sat on my bed and talked about it. She said that it was very normal and she had been expecting to find semen stained sheets and underwear and evidence of masturbation as I got older. She actually encouraged masturbation, saying that it would be a healthy release for me. I am very happy we had that talk now — I don't have to worry about her finding out.
- age 13, Florida
My first "wet dream" happened when I was 15 or so. I was surprised at the intensity — both in my sexual desire In the dream as well as the strong buildup and release. I would often wake up just as I was having the orgasm. Had it not been for the occasional "wet dream" as a teen, I'd never even have known what an orgasm was. I didn't give myself my first orgasm until I was well into my 20s.
- age 29, California (female)
I have them when I go on vacation with the family because we all stay in one hotel room and it's kind of hard to masturbate with the parents in the bed next to my sister and me. Its kind of embarrassing if my boxers are wet and sticky when I get up in the morning and my sister did make a comment about the funny smell under the covers one time. I told her I passed gas, but I don't think she really believed it. At least, she didn't go saying anything to the parents. I was never so glad to get back home where I could have some privacy so I could get back to my regular schedule of masturbating every night. I think my sister masturbates, too, but she won't admit to it when I ask her if she does.

I had my first "wet dream" a few days after my 14th birthday. I can pinpoint that from my arrival at boarding school four days before that birthday. I was the "new boy" and I was talking to one of my new classmates; he asked me, "Have you had a 'wet dream' yet?" to which I answered, "What's that?" (Well, I *was* innocent). He explained, and I said that nothing like that had happened to me. Within a few days, I was asleep in my bunk bed (along with about 80 other lads in the dormitory) and I had an extremely erotic dream followed by a messy ejaculation. The next morning, I advised my friend that I had had his predicted "wet dream" and he responded, "You will now start pulling yourself." I sort of knew what he meant from previous chats with mates. Sure enough, within the week, the urge to masturbate came over me and I have been in love with my right hand ever since. My mate became my masturbation buddy for a time and he introduced my to the joys of mutual masturbation. That dormitory with 80 kids was an amazing place with *all* of us knowing what we were all doing, but not saying a word about it. Even though I have been a frantic masturbator ever since, I still had the occasional "wet dream" all the way to about age 50. Even within marriage it has happened irregularly.

I've only had two. The first was when I was 13 and just into puberty. I only recall the dream vaguely — my penis and I were some kind of boy-toy for three really babe-istic girls — but I very much remember the wet part, waking up belly down in a puddle of semen. It was a little scary at the time, enough that I asked my dad about it. He told me what had happened was perfectly normal and then he went on to talk to me about masturbation, including a little explanation about how it's done. It was kind of like a parental okay, so I took him up on it that same night and have done so practically every day since. But I missed that first Big O in my sleep, so just last fall, I tried to match it by giving up masturbating for nearly two weeks and wearing a pair of loose boxers to bed to contain the mess. My big plan wasn't working, so on day 13, I broke down, masturbated three times, figured I had emptied out my system and went back to sleeping naked as usual. Guess what — I still had a "wet dream" that night, just as hot, just as happy, and just as sloppy wet as the first one.

Unlike guys that started masturbating at an early age, I began experiencing nocturnal emissions when I entered puberty. I liked the "wet dreams" so much that after a while, I tried masturbating to have the same great experience while I was awake to enjoy it even more. Given a choice, I would choose masturbation over waiting for a nocturnal emission to occur — especially after what happened to me. I had a "wet dream" when I was on a school trip — awakening with a wet spot on my trousers and thrashing about. Thankfully, everyone ignored what happened. Masturbation seems to help in avoiding spontaneous erections — I still get those sometimes.

As a teen, I never had a "wet dream" that I can remember. I began masturbating when I was 12 and did so daily for years. Even after getting married, I would either masturbate or have intercourse daily as well; so I guess I stayed pretty well drained, where "wet dreams" are concerned. Now that I am 46, I still masturbate and have intercourse, but less frequently. There have been several times within the past couple of years that I have been having erotic dreams mostly involving oral sex, with both sexes. I will usually suddenly awake from the dream with this intense sensation in my erect penis and find semen soaked in my underwear and still draining from my penis. It appears to me that this semen just kind of drains out as opposed to forcefully shooting, as it does during masturbation or intercourse. The makeup and texture of the semen is different, as well. Do I wish that I had been having "wet dreams" all my life? Not really, while not disgusting or anything like that, I find the conscious orgasm and ejaculation, whether from masturbation or intercourse, much more enjoyable and pleasurable.
- age 46, Georgia
I still have them — at least, my version of them. I wake just as I'm having an orgasm. All I can remember is a *very* sexy dream of some kind and my trusty hand only has to add a few strokes for it to be powerful. I'm not complaining. They are always wonderful. I've had 5 or 6 in the last 10 years — not often, but enough to enjoy. Who says sex is for the young?

Back when I was an 11-year-old at summer camp, there was a boy who had matured way earlier than the rest of us and had us all in awe of his thick pubic hair and his nearly dad-size penis. One day, he told us he had had a terrifically sexy dream the night before and woke up in the middle of it with what he called "ook" all over his stomach. We must have looked skeptical, because he got out his pajama bottoms and let us touch the patch where the "ook" had dried and crusted. It was messy, he told us, but wonderful. Some of the other boys looked nervous, but my little-kid penis was suddenly standing up. I couldn't wait for something like that to happen to me. It finally did, nearly two years later. I had a sex dream so intense and real that it woke me up with the tip of my penis poking out from under the waistband of my underpants, spurting semen. I had several more "wet dreams" before I figured out why God had blessed me with hands, and yes, they were all messy and (except for the cleanup) all wonderful.

I tend to have "wet dreams" when I'm under stress. I usually dream that I'm bursting to take a pee and wake up feeling hard and surprised. I try to stop myself from ejaculating, but usually have to resign myself to it by putting my head back on the pillow, moaning, and just letting it spurt. I always feel the need to masturbate again the following morning as if to finish myself off.
