Does having sex or the amount of masturbation change the amout of wet dreams?

Yes, it does. It seems your body has its own way of masturbation even if you're not going to do it conciously yourself! If you have sex or masturbate more often, you will have less or no wet dreams. And as for not remembering the dream last time it happened, this is unfortunate for you as these are usually the most pleasant dreams to remember :P But in fact you actually cannot remember most of the dreams you have, i remember hearing that on average you have about 17 dreams per night, even if you think you've had none, but you cannot remember them.

This topic reminds me of a song:

here have all good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?

does anyone know the next line?

Did you know that women have more sexual dreams when they are pregnant than at any other time.

i just think they divulge their sexual dreams more often when they're pregnant.  becasue us males aren't allowed to get mad about anything.  even if they're dreaming about another man....

“Holding Out For A Hero”

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need

[Chorus]

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

[Chorus]

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind end the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

Don't know exactly why, maybe its to do with just making sure everything runs ok down there :P running the engine now and then to keep it running smoothly if you're not using it :P
There was some findings a few years ago that masturbation could reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men, as it prevents the buildup of potentially carcinogenic chemicals.
By the way its much more common in teenage years if that's around how old you are

you body is continuously producing new sperm.  it obviously can't all stay down there.  has to go somewhere.  aslo, as pointed out, flushing the pipes from time to time is good for your prostate.

Post by: MayoFlyFarmer on 08/04/2008 22:04:43
no, more likely you would have unused sperm cells breaking down inside your body.  This may release some cellular toxins, which wouldn't be good to have around in an area of your body that has so much actice cell division going on.

And no you wont go blind, get warts or stunt your growth. Where did these myths come from? I used to teach sex education and the number of parents that used to insist that their child should not be told that masturbation was OK, was unbelievable. I still think sex ed. in British schools is woefully poor.

Many men with spinal cord injuries do not/ can not ejaculate on a regular basis, or even at all fro some, and there is no increased incidence of prostate cancer among this group... I wonder why.

My husband had a vasectomy 19 years ago. We were educated for a couple hour long sessions with the doctor who explained the procedure. He said he would make a couple of incisions and clip the tube ends.. when we asked why just clip and tie?  Where does the sperm go then? He said he still produces sperm but the ones that count are absorbed into the body  which is  perfectly safe!  They just  are no longer potent... I do not undertand it.. but reabsorbing it into he body we were told is quite safe... has that changed over the last 19 years?

Yeah, i'd say the reduced risk of cancer from masturbating is probably not that great, was probably just a popular story because it gives us men an excuse :P "I'm not doing it cause I like it, its for health reasons!" :P

Well it tends to get erect now and then and you notice it feels good when you touch it, so you keep playing around with it for a bit, etc...

Not sure actually. Maybe its to encourage you to mate with a female in the morning, after you've spent all night generating sperm?

Because at night the circus fairies invade your bed and turn your sheets into a circus tent and they need a pole to do this.

This is true.

I did read somewhere that one reason for having an erection on waking was because of a full bladder, most who have one on waking also have a strong urge to pee.

In a sense its a way to stop you peeing the bed unintentionally while asleep and has little to do with sex. You wake with an erection and the first thing you have to do is go for a pee!

this is true.  the phenomenon known as "morning wood" has little to do with sex, and is actually a mechanism to help prevent urination in your sleep.  It evolved because urine has a strong smell, and in the wild  if you accidentally urinated in your sleep, it would be pretty easy for your predators to track you down when you are your most vulnerable (sleeping).

Does this mean all male animals wake up with boners ?

that would only be a valid theory if men wake with erections every day.. AFAIK this is not the case.. although urinations is imminent shortly after waking.

Having said that I understand that the 'morning glory' as we call it, has very little to do with sexual function and more to do with sphincter contraction.

An odd topic of conversation...
Nocturnal erection in males of many species occurs intermittently during the night.
It is not generally associated with dreaming.
It is observed in very young children and has, so I have read, observed in utero- clearly before they learn to avoid bedwetting.
It cannot, therefore, be a mechanism to avoid nocturnal urination.
There is a hypothesis that it's to ensure that, at least for part of the time, the organ concerned is provided with enough blood to maintain its health.

"Not that i doubt you, but have you ever tried urinating with an erection?"
It's perfectly possible but it tends to be messy.
Perhaps more importantly, if this were the reason for men not wetting the bed you would need to find the reason for the other half of the species not doing so.
Also, while there's probably a correleation between impotence and enuresis, one doesn't always imply the other.

A birthmark is a blemish on the skin formed before birth. They are part of the group of skin lesions known as naevi. The cause of birthmarks is unknown, but may include cellular damage due to radiation or chemicals. Some types seem to run in families.   [::)] [;)]
abnormality of the skin that is present at birth or shortly afterward.
