Probably every sexually mature male representative at least once in his life woke up in the middle of the night from a voluptuous sensation and, finding his 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 of sperm leaking from the penis during sleep. Why does a man cum in his sleep, how dangerous can it be and is it possible to somehow combat this condition? Let's figure it out.
Wet dreams - what are they?
Wet dreams are involuntary ejaculations that occur in representatives of the stronger sex outside of masturbation or sexual intercourse. In fact, this is a normal ejaculation caused by sexual arousal and accompanied by orgasm.
Wet dreams occur without sexual intercourse between a woman and a man, which is why they differ from premature ejaculation, which 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, and especially teenagers, are afraid to admit it to loved ones, and the phrase “I cum in my sleep” seems very shameful to them.
What kind of sperm did you dream about?

Frequency of appearances
According to studies, at various periods of life, up to 83% of men have experienced orgasms that occur during night sleep. The age at which the first nocturnal ejaculations appear and their frequency depend on the individual characteristics of a person, his state of health, the direction of interests and lifestyle.
On average, adolescents and young men experience wet dreams once a week, while adult men experience wet dreams once a month. But it is worth considering that with prolonged abstinence from intimacy with a woman, wet dreams may occur more often.
Many representatives of the stronger sex often think that since I come in my sleep, there is a high probability of developing spermatorrhea - a condition in which sperm is constantly released, even during urination. In reality, this disease is not characterized by erection and orgasm, and the sperm itself flows out in small portions and very slowly. Therefore, there is simply no reason to fear.
“I’m cumming in my sleep.” Possible causes in young men
It is simply impossible to predict the moment when a wet dream occurs, as well as to control the course of this process. So, this picture can be described as follows: a young man sleeps soundly at night, and at this time his body sends a signal to the brain that too much seminal fluid has accumulated and it is necessary to get rid of it. Next, the brain tries to find some desires, important memories and introduces sexual content into them. As a result, a dream is created that promotes the appearance of wet dreams. And if earlier the boy was tormented by doubts whether it was really possible to cum in a dream, now he was convinced of this from his own experience.
In boys aged 12 to 18 years, the hormonal system functions very actively, but proper sexual release, as a rule, does not occur. For this reason, the body tries to prevent excessive accumulation of sex hormones and does this exclusively through wet dreams.
“I’m cumming 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-to-bear consequences of abstinence as spontaneous erection and concentration of the psyche primarily on sexual topics.
For adult representatives of the stronger sex who have not had intimate intimacy with women for a long time, night ejaculation is a kind of adaptive mechanism aimed at eliminating the excess volume of seminal fluid accumulated in the genitals. We can say that wet dreams to some extent compensate for sexual life, and with its onset they stop on their own.
Warning symptoms and reasons for their occurrence↑
Nocturnal emissions can be accompanied by painful symptoms and signal the development of pathology.
The following manifestations indicate violations:
- Painful sensations during ejaculation, interfering with normal sleep.
- Prolonged erection that does not disappear after ejaculation.
- Impurities of pus and bloody inclusions in the semen.
- Temperature increase.
- The occurrence of ejaculation during the daytime without prior arousal.
Similar phenomena occur with the following deviations:
- Infectious and inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system.
- Phimosis, causing accumulation of smegma and sperm in the preputial sac.
- Hormonal disorders causing increased testosterone levels.
- The use of hormonal drugs and anabolic steroids.
- Benign and malignant neoplasms of the genitourinary organs.
- Disturbances in the functioning of the brain centers responsible for sexual arousal and ejaculation.
To eliminate frequent wet dreams, it is often enough to regularly visit the gym or other sports training. Physical activity helps normalize testosterone levels, and fatigue makes sleep deeper and more restful.
Wet dreams - normal or abnormal?
Experts agree that wet dreams are an absolutely natural phenomenon that does not indicate any deviation. Frequent nighttime ejaculations, which also occur against the background of existing sexual intercourse, can be evidence of a man’s hypersexuality.
Surprisingly, such a state can be caused not only by a lack of sex or an erotic film watched the night before bed, but even by a hearty dinner. This is due to the fact that a full intestine puts pressure on the prostate gland, which is likely to send a signal to the brain to release excess seminal fluid from the full seminal vesicles.
Recommendations for preventing wet dreams
“I cum while I sleep, what can 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 condition, then minimize the likelihood of its occurrence. So let's get started:
- Before going to bed, you should ventilate the room every time and try not to allow sufficiently high temperatures in the room at night.
- If possible, you need to have a fairly full sex life, since its absence is the main cause of wet dreams. In the absence of a sexual partner, nighttime ejaculation can be avoided through masturbation.
- It is important to observe the rules of genital hygiene, because the presence of even minor inflammatory processes that arise as a result of insufficient cleanliness of the glans penis can also provoke nocturnal emissions.
- Due to the fact that during rough sleep, underwear can stimulate the head of the penis and thereby bring a man closer to orgasm, it is best to sleep naked.
- Walking at night, hardening the body and playing active sports will not only improve the health of the body, but will also help avoid “wet” dreams.
Wet dreams are a normal and natural phenomenon that should not be ashamed, because it can happen to absolutely every representative of the strong half of humanity.
How to avoid nocturnal emissions
If nocturnal emissions cause discomfort, find out why they occur. During puberty, the phenomenon is normal; as you grow older and reach puberty, the situation normalizes. If the reason is long-term abstinence, begin to be sexually active. But it should be regular and with one partner: promiscuous sexual intercourse is fraught with sexually transmitted diseases. If there is no opportunity to start sexual relations with the opposite sex, you can masturbate to relieve tension and get rid of spontaneous ejaculation. These recommendations are also relevant for women.
To reduce the frequency of wet dreams during sleep and get rid of them, follow a few rules:
- At night, you should wear loose and breathable underwear, since tight underwear will stimulate the genitals and cause arousal, while non-breathable and warm underwear will provoke blood flow to the genitals, increasing the risk of a wet dream.
- Do not watch movies or photos with erotic content at night.
- Married women and married men should perform their marital duties regularly. But don’t do it forcefully, sexual intercourse should occur by mutual desire.
- To relieve stress at night, you can take a warm bath, adding essential oils with a calming effect. A contrast shower is appropriate in the morning.
- Avoid consuming hot spices and spices, tea and coffee before bed: these products increase blood circulation and have a stimulating effect on the nervous system.
- Create an environment for sound, restful sleep: ventilate the room or leave the windows open at night, close them with curtains, eliminate all sources of sounds and other external influences. If a person sleeps restlessly and tosses and turns, he involuntarily stimulates the genitals and provokes arousal.
- Sublimation will help, that is, redirecting energy in another direction. You can go in for sports: this will give an outlet to your emotions, make your sleep calm and healthy, and improve your hormonal levels. An exciting activity will relieve you from unnecessary thoughts.
- Empty your bladder before going to bed: when full, it can put pressure on the prostate and stimulate the production of seminal fluid, which will need to be released through wet dreams.
- Follow the rules of personal hygiene. Due to contamination, inflammation can develop, and when localized in the head of the penis, spontaneous ejaculation is possible.
To relieve tension and reduce agitation, you can take mild sedatives, preferably on a natural basis. Folk remedies will help:
- Pour a tablespoon of hops into a glass of boiling water, leave for twenty minutes, strain, divide into three parts and drink throughout the day. The product will relieve tension, eliminate stress and improve sleep.
- Decoctions of mint, valerian, and lemon balm are effective. Preparation: a tablespoon of raw materials (you can mix herbs) is poured with 300 ml of boiled water, left for half an hour, filtered. Before going to bed you need to drink half a glass.
- Pour a teaspoon of cinchona bark into 300 ml of hot water, cook for ten minutes, strain after cooling and drink two tablespoons at night.
