For some totally weird reason, the last ever wet dream I can remember having was one where in theorem, I was at a fairground. ---

I had one thanks to Miley Cyrus once this past November. I don’t even like her, but the dream was amazing. ---

Do women have wet dreams, too? Something I’ve always wondered… Should I start a new thread on that topic, mods? ---

Another thing to consider is that some sexual dreams result in _retrograde_ ejaculations, that is, with the sphincter clamped down, the semen goes into the bladder. ---

I never had one until I was 29, and I don’t think I ever had another one, but I can’t remember for sure. I was traveling at the time, and there were four of us sleeping in the same room, and one of the girls said she knew I had it, but she didn’t explain how she knew. ---

I don’t think I have ever had a sexual dream much less a wet dream. I have had many many romantic dreams that have led to kissing but I am not aware of any sexual dreams. I always thought it a bid odd as I have a high sex drive even at 65. ---

There doesn’t seem to be much knowledge on the topic of [female ejaculation](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2420/whats-in-female-ejaculate)\*, but some women (not sure how many) do sometimes get sexually excited during sleep. Umm, never mind how I know this. \*Link to a StraightDope column. ---

Are you guys differentiating between sex dreams and wet dreams, which are nocturnal emissions? A sex dream by itself has nothing to do with anything, but an actual nocturnal emission is something else entirely. The only time I’ve had these was in the hospital following surgery, when I didn’t have my usual release. And I woke up immediately. ---

That whole Albert Einstein tongue thing she has going combined with that high and tight haircut [shrivel][/shrivel]-eh maybe it’s just me and I’m getting too old to know what’s hot and what’s not. Oh, add me to the list of never having one, ice had some very arousing dreams before, but I can’t ever recall a wet one. ---

Weird shit happens in dreams. I can imagine having a sex dream involving someone I wouldn’t find appealing in waking life. (I’m blissfully ignorant of Ms. Cyrus, due to my carefully cultivated hermit-like lifestyle, so I can’t comment as to her in particular.) I’ll cop to never having had a wet one either; dry sexytimes dreams are rare for me, but they do happen. I discovered the joy of masturbation shortly before puberty, though, so I was taking an active role in keeping the pressure in the pipes properly regulated even before the pumps were turned on. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wet-dreams/401528.md?page=1)
