What is a wet dream?

A wet dream: it is a sexual phenomenon that occurs in many adolescent young people and is more than once the reason for giggling and whispering. But what exactly is a wet dream? And does every boy get a wet dream? 

In this article we delve deeper into the world of wet dreams for you and provide answers to the most common questions surrounding this taboo subject.

Does every boy get a wet dream?

 

Let's get straight to the point: no, not every boy gets a wet dream. However, a wet dream is a fairly common occurrence among teenage boys. 

 

A wet dream mainly occurs during puberty. The phase in which boys' bodies are experiencing full hormonal changes. You then become a man instead of a boy.

 

A wet dream is actually the result of uncontrollable sexual arousal while sleeping, which is often accompanied by an accompanying ejaculation. It is the ejaculation by which most boys recognize their wet dream.

 

At what age do most boys have a wet dream?

The age at which boys experience their first sexual dream varies greatly. Usually a boy has his first wet dream sometime during puberty, so around the age of 12 to 16. 

 

However, when puberty begins depends on several individual factors such as your genetics, lifestyle and hormonal levels.

 

How often do you get a wet dream?

The frequency of a wet dream varies greatly from boy to boy. Some people may experience such a sexual dream regularly, while others experience it only once. It is important to note that it is completely normal to have the occasional wet dream and is absolutely not an indication of your sexual health. Having a lot of wet dreams does not mean that you can have better sexual performance.

 

Wet dreams are actually a natural and completely healthy way for our bodies to get rid of excess built-up semen. Although it is often associated with sexually explicit and spicy dreams, wet dreams can also occur without any explicit sexual moments being present in the dream. That's something not many people know.

 

In short, wet dreams are an important part of most boys' journey to adulthood and discovering sexual potential. Wet dreams are normal, 100% healthy and nothing to worry or be ashamed of. 

 

However, if you are concerned about your sexual health or have any questions, don't hesitate to talk to someone about it. Because talking helps. And remember: wet dreams are a natural part of growing up and an important step towards adulthood!
