Overview
A wet dream is the uncontrolled ejaculation of semen from the penis during sleep. This is caused by sexual arousal and orgasm from dreams and/or physical stimulation like rubbing against blankets, the bed or a full bladder.
This is completely normal for males going through puberty. When boys enter puberty, a lot of hormonal changes occur. These changes can result in spontaneous erections during sleep, during the day and wet dreams. These are simply a part of normal sexual development.
Most boys experience wet dreams between the ages of 12 to 18. Generally males have fewer wet dreams once they start masturbating, reach the end of puberty or become sexually active.
Ask Your Doctor
If you are a male adult who still has wet dreams, try daily Kegel exercises. If this does not help your problem, talk to a doctor about premature ejaculation.
