What is "Dream Intercourse"?

Some young women said that after they fell asleep, they always dreamed of someone of the opposite sex entering their bed and doing this and that with them. When they woke up, they found their underwear was soaked and their whole body was weak. They felt very nervous and always thought that someone was doing something bad to them. Because I think dreaming about having sex with others is really shameful and very painful, I dare not tell anyone about it. It is really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, with no way to express my suffering. This makes them afraid to fall asleep, and after they force themselves to fall asleep, they will of course have sex in their dreams, which makes them upset, lose their appetite, become dazed, suffer from back pain, and feel exhausted.

The involuntary ejaculation of an unmarried man during his sleep is called nocturnal emission. It may be the result of "thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night", or it may be caused by accidental direct stimulation of the penis. Of course, when the body's semen is stored too full, semen may overflow. Therefore, it is a very common phenomenon for unmarried men to experience orgasms and nocturnal emissions in dreams, but this phenomenon occurs less frequently after they have a normal sexual life after marriage.

The same is true for women, which is called "dream intercourse". The incidence of nocturnal intercourse and the number of orgasms in women are lower than those in men, generally not exceeding 30% to 40%. The climax achieved in a dream is the same as that experienced during sexual intercourse, which is an involuntary rhythmic muscle spasm contraction. Although the degree varies, vaginal lubrication will always occur, and the amount of leucorrhea will increase significantly. Some people believe that the frequency and duration of vaginal lubrication and congestion and swelling in women at night are similar to those of men's nocturnal penile erections. This physiological change can be monitored using modern detection methods. The frequency of nocturnal emissions and sexual intercourse in middle-aged and elderly people decreases, reflecting that their sexual impulses weaken and their sexual abilities tend to decline.

Single women inevitably have strong sexual desire and longing for the opposite sex, but because they have no opportunity to vent this sexual impulse, the sexual desire that is suppressed during the day due to work and other factors forms an excitement center at night, leading to nocturnal intercourse during sleep. This phenomenon may also occur in some married women when their sexual needs are not met, but it is not that simple, because these women have also tried to have sex with their husbands more often in the hope of eliminating nocturnal intercourse, but to no avail. In fact, as long as these women do not regard sleep intercourse as pathological and do not worry too much, they will not lose their appetite and affect their physical and mental health.

Traditional Chinese medicine calls intercourse in dreams "intercourse with ghosts in dreams", and believes that it is caused by men and women who have been separated for a long time, have been frustrated by their sexual desires, have accumulated thoughts, and have mental hallucinations, which lead to intercourse in dreams. The idealistic inference that it was caused by ghosts is a "theory", so sulfur, which ghosts fear, was used to fumigate the women's genitals, which obviously would not work.

In short, somnambulism is a physiological phenomenon, not a pathological one. Therefore, as long as you don't become overly nervous or anxious about it, it will not affect your physical health. The key is to treat it correctly, break superstitions and eliminate misunderstandings.
