Why do we often have wet dreams?

Nocturnal emissions are a physiological symptom exclusive to men. It is relatively normal and harmless to the male body because nocturnal emissions are caused by sperm storage exceeding the body's volume. Many men are very afraid of nocturnal emissions and believe that they are a manifestation of disease. Frequent nocturnal emissions are especially worrying. Let's take a look at why nocturnal emissions occur so often.

Frequent nocturnal emission refers to ejaculation without masturbation or sexual intercourse. For males after puberty, the normal number of nocturnal emissions is 1-2 times per month. If the frequency of nocturnal emissions exceeds the normal number, occurring once every few days or more than 4-5 times in a month, or if a married man still has frequent nocturnal emissions after having regular sex, and is also accompanied by waist and leg fatigue, mental fatigue, dizziness, insomnia and nightmares, this is frequent nocturnal emission.

Nocturnal emission is the ejaculation without sexual intercourse. It is a common and normal physiological phenomenon among adolescents. About 80% of unmarried young people have experienced this phenomenon. Nocturnal emission during sleep and dreaming is called nocturnal emission; nocturnal emission that occurs while awake is called spermatorrhea. The frequency of nocturnal emission varies greatly. For normal unmarried men, nocturnal emission may occur 2-8 times a month, which is not abnormal. During regular sexual life, if you often have nocturnal emissions or the frequency of nocturnal emissions increases, several times a week or several times a night, or if you have nocturnal emissions or spermatorrhea at the mere thought of sexual desire, it is mostly pathological.

(1) Lack of correct sexual knowledge. For example, being stimulated by pornographic books or videos, focusing too much on sexual issues, thinking about sex-related issues for a long time, often being in pornographic impulses, or having the habit of masturbation. This causes the cerebral cortex to be in an excited state all the time, which can lead to nocturnal emission. Some teenagers mistakenly believe that the sticky liquid that involuntarily flows out of the urethra during sexual impulses is actually the secretion of the bulbourethral glands and is nocturnal emission. Fear and anxiety about nocturnal emission will, over time, produce adverse psychological reactions, leading to mental tension before going to bed, which not only causes nocturnal emission but also often leads to neurasthenia.

(2) Spermatorrhea caused by adverse stimulation caused by local inflammation of the reproductive organs. If you suffer from inflammatory stimuli such as balanitis, urethritis, prostatitis, etc., local irritation of the lesions can easily induce congestion of the sexual organs. Sperm emission caused by adverse stimulation caused by local inflammation of the reproductive organs.

(3) In addition, physical weakness, excessive fatigue, etc. can cause dysfunction of various organs throughout the body, especially the cerebral cortex losing control of the lower sexual center, and the excitability of the erection center and ejaculation center can also be a cause of adverse nocturnal emission.

(4) Such as liking to soak feet in hot water, wearing tight clothes, covering oneself with a blanket that is too warm after falling asleep, playing with sexual organs while sleeping, etc.
