Last updated on June 25, 2025

Question:

You said in one of your articles that wet dreams are acts of masturbation done in a man’s sleep. Is the man actually stroking his penis as he sleeps? 

Answer:

Sometimes he is touching his penis. Sometimes the man is humping his bed. Sometimes it is the feel of the sheets or your underwear as your penis expands during an erection. Sometimes, it is a spontaneous ejaculation.
