Problems with wet dreams

Published by

For some years now, I have been having frequent wet dreams. It happens almost every day with semen on my trousers and boxer pants as if I had just had sex. Funny enough, I have never had sex before and I don’t even have a girl friend. The effect of this is that I am getting tired and losing weight while my penis is always paining me. I am in my early twenties.

Wet dreams occur when you ejaculate during your sleep. The medical term for a wet dream is “nocturnal emission.“ Most wet dreams are reported in teenage boys and young men, and sometimes they occur well into adulthood. Wet dreams occur when sexual fantasies that the mind had been harbouring during the daytime get released during the sleeping period at night. Again, as explained in the question on erections, this is not an unusual development at your age and the solutions are about the same. By keeping the mind busy during the daytime and avoiding the consumption of sexually provocating literature and film, the frequencies of these wet dreams can be reduced and eventually eliminated.
