Nocturnal emission, commonly known as “wet dream” or “involuntary orgasm,” is an involuntary ejaculation of semen that occurs during
sleep. It is a normal and common occurrence, with studies indicating that approximately 83% of men experience it at some point in their lives.
Causes:
Erotic Dreams: Often linked to sexually arousing dreams, though not always the cause.
Physical Stimulation: Can be triggered by physical factors like rubbing against blankets, the bed, or having a full bladder during sleep.
Occurrence:
Nocturnal emissions typically begin during puberty but can occur later in life or not at all.
The frequency varies greatly among individuals and is not significantly influenced by factors like age, diet, or masturbation habits, though some researchers suggest men who masturbate less may experience it more frequently.
Nocturnal emissions are a normal part of male development and should not be a cause for concern.
