Why Do Men have Wet Dreams?

Even though wet dreams don’t happen to men as much as they do to young teens, these do still happen and for a couple of different reasons. It is confusing to many men when they try to figure out why this happens to them, but it isn’t a very complex issue when you really think about it. Men think about sex a bit more than women, so it isn’t too surprising that this way of thinking continues into the dreaming state.

One of the most common reasons for a wet dream is simply that the man is dreaming about having sex with someone and they are actually masturbating while the dream is occurring. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the common way of masturbating, but in some way the man touches his penis in a way that makes the body ejaculate. Sometimes this can be avoided by masturbating or having sex before the man goes to sleep .

A less common wet dream that men have is one where they did not ejaculate when have sexing or masturbating before they fell asleep and they actually ejaculate after they fall asleep. This usually occurs very soon after they fall asleep, but it can happen a little bit afterward as well. Basically, the mind is still thinking about something sexual and that ups the chances of a sexual dream to come up in the mind.

Wet dreams can be very embarrassing to men who are married or wake up with someone sleeping next to them, but in all honesty, it is not something that they can really help in most cases. Usually it won’t happen over and over again, so it really isn’t something that most men have to worry about. There are much bigger issues out there, but it is understandable why this is a confusing issue.

      As ignorant as this guy is ^. It’s wrong. All wrong. I myself have had that problem. And I always got soft because I was nervous. Not because I wasn’t attracted to the girl. She was gorgeous, being nervous is a huge turn off for a guy and really ruins my sexual mood. Thus, turning me off and making me soft.

    Well Jade…. It’s probably because your man is sexually frustrated because you weren’t putting out, so naturally he has to take care of the problem himself, thus he becomes less attracted to you sexually. Another factor for him getting soft coincides with not being attracted to you anymore, you used to be beautiful and then you let that go and gained weight, became a slob, etc, thus he doesn’t care for you anymore in that area, and you will be lucky if he even sticks around much longer. Take a Good Look in the mirror and say ITS MY FAULT! Because it is.

      I concur. I read a scholar article while doing a thesis not long ago in sexual physiology, maybe you can find it on Google Scholar. There was a census and on average males thought about sex on average 7% more than women. Which is not much, but it is however a noteworthy difference.

    People dream often about unresolved issues from their day. If their natural quota of their libido is frustrated (not enough sex for them or a sexual fantasy is not fulfilled) then this goes into the dreamstate. Sexual arousal is at least part mental in nature, even during waking. A male does not have to manually stimulate themselves in their sleep to have a nocturnal emission (“wet dream”). Sometimes its all mental arousal or a combination of that and interpreted signal from the feel of sheets or rubbing from leg movement.

    If you’ve had satisfying sex in the past, you have to look at life factors that are different both in and out of your relationship. Its obviously not medical or an environmental stress/fatigue issue. So most likely, the problem is your relationship and how your partner sees you. To some extent the person above is right but in a very unpleasant way. If your behaviors change from when you had the satisfying sex to the present and expect everything else to stay the same, you’re being ridiculous. So if prior, you had stayed in shape and not shown certain habits or behaviors that are now present, don’t expect your attractiveness quotient to be higher than when you started. So if your BF sees you picking your nose, farting, etc or without your makeup all the time and in frumpy or unflattering clothing often, sexual desirability will likely decrease. Also if you’re nagging, demanding or complaining, that is hardly sexy, either.
