I can’t say that I have except for those insidious nocturnal emissions. Is it possible otherwise? ---

Well, I was sitting there not being touched, and bam! it happened. I’d go into full loving detail, but since you spelled my name wrong, I am feeling a bit peeved and unloved. ☹ ---

By another person? Sure, it happens all the time:) But the dreams at night always end before any sense of…completion… as it were. ---

As a participant in the questionnaire for the above-linked Cecil column, my answer would, of course, be yes. 😃 For more on this subject, read [the thread Ed Zotti posted](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=20963) to kick-start Cecil’s “research” into this phenomenon. (FYI, though, it’s all out of order since it didn’t transfer well from the old board format.) * * * Jeg elsker dig, Thomas ---

Goodness, is it really _that_ impressive? Most of the time, I’m sleeping anyway when it happens, so it’s no big deal…I like it, but I don’t see what anyone else would get out of it. The other times…well, let’s just say I’m suggestible. 😃 ---

A few weekends ago on a blockbuster night, my girlfriend and I started making out on the couch as if we were 15 again. Two hours later, the TV glaring static at us, fully clothed and only touching each other’s faces, I gently sucked on her lower lip and… Bam! She grabbed me hard, her knees convulsing, cheeks red with passion, eyes bright and shiny. In my brilliance (and shock at the abrupt ending to a two hour straight kiss) I asked, “What was that?!” “num. num… mmm. um… nothing. mmm…” “You came didn’t you?!” (her face reddened to a light tomato shade.) She’s a keeper. - Polarfield ---

Like most men, this is something that has not happened to me. But I believe I may recently have inspired it to occur to someone else. Does that count? ---

We told him yes, but it’s hard to know for sure that it wasn’t just a dream about sex unless you wake up at the right time. So, then, using logic, he asked why we wouldn’t know because of “the mess,” needless to say our allegory of how women’s genitalia is like a self-cleaning oven left him blushing and wishing he hadn’t asked. 🙂 ---
