Nocturnal emissions
Is it normal to have wet dreams, or never have them?
Yes. A wet dream is an ejaculation during sleep. Some people notice them often, rarely, once, or not at all. They are not a required milestone.
What a wet dream does not prove
- That you had a sexual dream
- That you are more or less mature
- Your sexual orientation
- How often you masturbate
- Whether your body is normal
What if I have never had one?
That can happen. Not having wet dreams does not by itself show a puberty or fertility problem.
What if they happen frequently?
Frequency can vary. Ask a clinician if there is pain, blood, urinary symptoms, or another physical concern.
What if it happened without a sexual dream?
That is ordinary. Nocturnal emission does not require a remembered sexual dream.
