> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Boots \* > \*\*Oh yeah, one more thing - > Come on, Ruffian. I just don’t buy it. \*\* Why do people always say that? Is it really that impossible to believe? Look, it isn’t to say I haven’t tried. My fiancé would _love_ it if I masturbated–it would make a great show for him, after all. I’ve tried to a couple of times (on my own, not doing a show for him), and wound up just feeling goofy and then bored. I don’t really have any desire to masturbate, either. Not to say I don’t get horny–hell _yes_ I do–but sex with just me? Bor-ing! I am incredibly turned on by having another person there, and incredibly turned off when he’s not. Closest I come is in my erotic wet dreams. I have woken up with my fingers inside me on more than one occasion. So Boots, get over it. Some of us don’t. Adjust. ---

Female 27 I have never had a wet dream and only once have I had a dream where I am having sex. \ Usually when I dream of sex, which is not often I dream of just before and after. As far as masturbation goes, yes. ---

I am a 30 year old male who still has wet dreams if he doesn’t masturbate (or otherwise relieve sexual tension) regularly. There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who masturbate, and those who lie about it. ---

Great, now I’m being called a liar. _Why_ would I lie about it in this forum of all people, folks? On the freakin’ **SDMB**?? Fercryinoutloud, I have no shame when it comes to talking about my sex life around here. I started a thread about oral sex techniques, I’ve discussed my psychic orgasms, sexual fantasies, favorite positions, blah blah blah… So why would whether or not I masturbate be a big deal for me to discuss? Believe me, I’d tell you. And I _have_ told you. You know what, it _is_ becoming a big deal and now I’m really feeling like there’s something wrong with me. How ironic–I’m feeling ashamed that I _don’t_ masturbate. Ah, bite me. I _don’t_, and I **don’t lie**. So deal with it and move on. ---

“There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who masturbate, and those who lie about it.” Many people do NOT know how to masturate. Lots cannot masturbate. Also, some are too old & some are too young. That blows your theory out the window. ---

19–female I’ve never had a wet dream that I am aware of. What does that mean as a female anyway? Definitly no orgasms in the eve though. My husband 20 says he has never had one either. damn two freaks in a basket ---

Once. One damn time. I had one wet dream. I was 19. I guess my brain is satisfied with my waking fantasies. Still, I feel cheated. ---

I’m 16 and I masturbate, say, once a day. I’ve never had a wet dream, but I’ve wet the bed, and I’ve gotta say wet dreams don’t sound all that appealing. What goes on in these wet dreams, anyway? Do you even feel anything? Wouldn’t you just sort of wake up all slimy? Now, I’ve had semi-erotic dreams before, but I never get to complete the act or even really do anything, because the woman always turns out to be made of Jello or something. That is to say, my dreams are very surreal and too non-linear to actually depict a sex act. Dig? (I’m not nuts.) ---

It’s been a good while since my last one, probably a year ago. Before that, about 7 years ago. I’m 21 and male. ---

16, and I don’t think I’ve ever had a wet dream. I have dreams occasionally in which I’m having sex, but it’s more like a memory than a real event. And I masturbate _shocked gasps from the crowd_. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wet-dreams/28710.md?page=2)
