85 percent of women who have experienced nocturnal
orgasms had done so by the age of twenty-one.
Some even before they turned thirteen.
Women who have orgasms during sleep
usually have them several times a year.
We often associate the term ‘wet dream’
(nocturnal emission) with adolescent boys,
who often ejaculate during sleep after
having a sexual dream.
This is a normal part of growing up.
Adult men may have wet dreams too.
For women, the experience is less ‘wet
but still intense. The sexual dreams may
lead to vaginal lubrication and orgasms
(often called nocturnal orgasms).
They can happen during adolescence
and throughout adulthood.
Most women have sexual dreams, many have
orgasmic dreams, and some women have dreams
involving sufficient excretion of sexual
lubrication or ejaculate to be called ‘wet’.
As sexual activity or orgasm can often
precipitate the onset of menstrual flow
during the periods of some women, there’s
even an additional way in which sexual
dreams can sometimes be wet ones.
Night-Time Engorgement
A good night’s sleep, experts say, consists of eight hours of rest, a cool room about 65 degrees — and for some women, a “sleep-gasm.”
Waking up pleasantly flushed by the intense pleasure of an orgasm for women is not a myth. Wet dreams are not just a guy thing; women can experience several sleep-gasms in one night and, unfortunately, not even know it.
During the REM stage of sleep, the body begins to periodically engorge the genital region with blood, just as if you were aroused.
The increase in blood flow can peak and release, which results in a penis erection for males and vaginal secretions in females. However, this does not necessarily indicate that the sleeper is experiencing a sexual dream.
In women, blood flow to the genitals increases anywhere from a little during REM sleep to about as much as when women masturbate or watch erotic films.
This suggests REM-induced genital arousal is similar to waking sexual arousal. Some women even wake up from deep sleep to find themselves sexually stimulated or just having experienced a sleep-gasm.
The female wet dream has been seldom studied because it’s difficult to identify, since women’s organs are on the inside. Men, on the other hand, possess “ejaculatory evidence” when they have a wet dream, whereas vaginal secretions in women could be a sign of sexual arousal without orgasm.
A study published in the Journal of Sex Research found that 85 percent of women had experienced nocturnal orgasms by the age of 21, while some before they turned 13.
A female nocturnal orgasm occurs only when sexual arousal during sleep awakens the sleeper to perceive the orgasm. Women who do have these orgasms during sleep are susceptible to having them several times a year.
Girls and women who don’t know whether or not they’ve had orgasms in their sleep are not alone. Most women aren’t sure about the existence of a sleep-gasm. But it’s normal for both sexes to have dreams of an erotic nature, and frequently that does lead to orgasm or ejaculation. It’s totally natural.
All sorts of stimulation can lead to an orgasm. There are women who can reach orgasm without clitoral involvement. There are reports of people climaxing from stimulating just about every erogenous zone imaginable; even toe sucking can bring some women over the edge.
Certain paralyzed women can orgasm even after their spinal cord has been severed. Some women can climax from nipple stimulation alone, and other women can orgasm simply from thinking about their breasts or genitals being touched.
Masters and Johnson found no subjects who could fantasize themselves to orgasm, but the Kinsey study put the rate of spontaneous orgasms (with no physical stimulation) at 2 percent in women.
Did you ever wake up in the middle of a dream and realize you just came? Plenty of women have these “wet dreams.” Two researchers put the number at exactly 37 percent.
Nocturnal orgasms are related to “neurosis” or anxiety, meaning if you’re really stressed out, your brain might be trying to do what it can to give you a short, calming orgasmic vacation.
