I have an erotic dream maybe once every two weeks. I wkae up before the “conclusion” as well. However, I only had one “wet” dream when I was in seventh or eigth grade. BTW, I am now 26. ---

19, Male Never had a wet dream, slam the solomi all the time. I have erotic dreams on occasion, but I always wake up before the good part. I usually have to finish them manually. ---

At the age of 14, one or two a month. Sadly, at the age of 30, only one or two a year. About a month ago, I had a dream that I urinated. But it was **only** a dream. ---

CanadianSue – well, I don’t see YOU chiming in here! I’m 34 and I have about one “wet dream” a month. And I masturbate. Probably about every other night. Oh, yeah, I’m female. TWPM! ---

I’m not sure if it’s just my body trying to tell me something or what, but for the past month, I’ve had wet dreams almost every single night. I wish I could find out what in the world is doing it so I’d be able to do it later, but it’s just been happening. As for the question about masturbation, yes, I do. Who doesn’t? It’s so much fun! 😃 BTW, I’m 18 and a female. Bye for now!! 🙂 ---

I just had one of my few sex-related dreams last night. I rarely have erotic dreams. (See my post above, for my wet dream and masturbation info.) Oddly enough, I was masturbating in the dream, not having sex. Geez, can’t even get laid in my dreams. But I must say one thing, I must have ejaculated a gallon in that dream, although I did not ejaculate in real life. Good God, it was like a fire hose. ---

I don’t think I’ve had a wet dream in 15 years or so (I’m 38 and male, btw). Even then, it was a rare event - once I passed those frustrating teenage years. As a teenager, maybe 10 or 15 in total. Do I pull the goalie? My wife lives 1300 km away, so… ---

If a wet dream by definition must include a nocturnal emission, then I’ve never had one. I guess I discovered masturbation early enough that the pressure never had time to build to that point. And I continue to do it often enough (at 34) to keep the pressure down. And my frequency doesn’t decrease much even when I have a girlfriend (and thus regular access to sex). I’m not sure why that is. I almost **never** have erotic dreams. I can only remember two offhand in my whole life. The most recent one was just a couple of months ago, and my costar was Sarah Michelle Gellar. About ten years ago I dreamed I had Paula Abdul’s breasts. I spent the dream playing with them. Does that count as an erotic dream? ---

About 2 weeks ago I had an erotic dream and had an orgasm in my sleep. It was so cool! Do I masturbate? Um… ---

I’ve had them at least once a month since I was about 16. Sometimes it’s every night for a week, sometimes it’s a while inbetween…but oh, yes, I have them. Do I masturbate? Much more boring answer: nope. ---

Twenty-one (which means, by rights, I should be getting laid, right?), and no wet dreams. Heck, I don’t even have erotic dreams, which pisses me off considerably (I mean, I don’t have time during the day to daydream about sex, so why shouldn’t I be able to while I’m asleep?). But I do masturbate (what can I say, I _make_ time) to prevent insanity. ---

Boots here - 29 (I kept hitting the 0 instead of the nine, must be wishful thinking) - wo-man. Yep to both. I started coming in my dreams when I was about 13 and by my own hand when I was about 14 (I don’t know what took me so long to figure it out) - although I don’t come in my dreams if I’m getting it on a regular basis. And, just in case anyone read the thread about weird dreams, no I didn’t come with Arnold. ---

Count me in among the ranks of those who never had a wet dream. It never really bothered me though, what’s the joy in waking up covered in your own semen? Then again, I don’t want to wake up covered in anyone else’s either, but I digress. I also only recall a very scant few erotic dreams that I’ve had, although my girlfriend reported that she once came to bed after I was already sleeping and I began “humping” her leg. As for masturbating? Yeah, sure… and apparently I’m in good company. ---
