A wet dream is the uncontrolled ejaculation of semen from the penis during sleep. The fluid is creamy to clear in color.

What Causes Them?

Wet dreams are caused by sexual excitement from dreams, and or by physical stimulation like rubbing against blankets, the bed, or a full bladder. It is very normal!

Guys get them. When boys enter puberty a lot of hormonal changes occur. These changes will result in many, but not all boys experiencing episodes of spontaneous erections during sleep, during the day and wet dreams. If these episodes do occur there is no need to worry or feel guilty because they are part of normal sexual development.

Most boys experience wet dreams between the ages of 12 to 18. Generally boys have less wet dreams once they start masturbating or once puberty is over. Also if teenagers become sexually active will experience fewer, or no longer have wet dreams.

What Do They Mean?

Wet dreams are a normal part of the many things that are changing in the body during puberty. Not all boys have wet dreams and that's okay too, it doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. If you do have a wet dream, it just means your body is maturing sexually, which is a step towards becoming an adult.
