Today, we’ll be tackling all your dreamy questions about orgasming in your sleep.

From what it is, how it works, and how to make it happen, you’ll get the 411 on everything related to orgasmic sleep.

What is Orgasmic Sleep?

Orgasmic sleep, also known as a wet dream or a nocturnal emission, is when one has an orgasm during sleep that leads to ejaculation or secretion of vaginal fluids.

Interestingly, it may come about even if you’ve had a seemingly innocent dream.

In other words, an erotic dream is not always the reason why some experience orgasmic sleep. But it can be…

In a étude of over 3,500 people by Antonio Zadra, PhD, it was revealed that both men and women experienced an orgasm in about four percent of their sexual dreams.

Another feature of orgasmic sleep is that a person will reach orgasm without manual stimulation (masturbation). Hands-free climaxes? Yes, please!

Having said all that, how does it actually work?

Orgasmic Sleep: How Does it Work?

If an orgasm is experienced during sleep, it will be during the REM phase (Rapid Eye Movement).

Even though we become temporarily paralyzed during REM sleep and thus unable to touch ourselves, it is our body-mind connection that may bring about an orgasm.

Our brains are so powerful that the sensations imagined can feel so real (as if they’re actually happening) that we actually climax.

Additionally, during REM sleep one’s breath becomes deeper, and their heart rate and blood flow quicken. This includes an increase in blood flow to the genitals, heightened levels of arousal, and sensitivity.

“Increased blood flow to the genitals during REM sleep causes them to be hypersensitive. The brain recognizes this, which can lead to sexual arousal and orgasm,” says Dr. Britney Blair, PsyD, clinical psychologist and sleep medicine specialist.

Another interesting factor when it comes to orgasmic sleep is that some may experience orgasms in generally more easily whilst catching some zzz’s than when they’re awake.

This is because they’re not bombarded with the everyday stressors of life, and don’t experience anxiety, low self esteem, wandering thoughts, and other interferences.

“Stress doesn’t exist in your sleep when it comes to climax,” says Annabelle Knight, sex expert.

There are other conditions that may lead to an orgasm while sleeping though:

• Erotic dreams: A sleep orgasm may come about during an erotic dream.
• The surge of hormones: For example, during puberty teens experience high levels of testosterone (especially males) which can lead to a sleep orgasm.
• Stimulation of the genitals: one could experience unintentional sexual stimulation whilst asleep, like rubbing their bed sheets.
• Lucid dreaming: This is when one knows that they’re dreaming while they’re asleep. In this way, they could have a percentage of control over what they’re dreaming. They’re aware that the events of their dream aren’t actually happening, but they feel real and vivid.
• Sleeping on your stomach: Whilst on your stomach, there is a higher chance of genital stimulation. Also, une étude found that sleeping on your stomach was associated with vivid and sexual dreams.
• Watching TV: UN study found that teenage boys were more likely to experience orgasmic sleep when they watched more than three hours of TV per day.

How to Experience Orgasmic Sleep

It is entirely possible for anyone to orgasm during their sleep, regardless of gender or age. But it is more prevalent in younger individuals, such as teens and those in their 20’s and 30’s. Still, it’s not impossible.

Orgasm while sleeping could come about if you practice a few of these tips:

• Take a warm shower before bed
• Abstain from orgasming during the day
• Sleep on your stomach
• Watch or read erotic content before you go to sleep
• Practice lucid dreaming

How to Practice Lucid Dreaming to Achieve Orgasmic Sleep

While we did touch on lucid dreaming briefly above, it may be helpful to go into more detail. This is because lucid dreaming has the power to induce an orgasm while sleeping.

To practice lucid dreaming you could try these five techniques:

1. Wake-Initiated Lucid Dreaming (WILD)

This lucid dreaming technique is simple but difficult to learn. For that reason, you may want to start with the other four techniques first as this may induce WILD.

WILD involves entering a dream from waking life. It is when your mind stays conscious while your body goes to sleep.

To do this, you’ll want to lie down and relax until you experience a hypnagogic hallucination, or a hallucination that happens right before you fall asleep.

As we mentioned, this may not come naturally and thus it will most likely take some practice by doing the other techniques mentioned below first.

2. Reality Testing

This is a form of mental training that can easily be practiced throughout the day. And by doing so, you’ll be increasing your mental awareness, which could lead to lucid dreaming.

To practice reality testing, you could:

• Ask yourself “Am I dreaming?»
• Take notice of your surroundings to make sure you’re not dreaming
• Become more aware of how you’re engaging with your environment
• Check your reflection to see if it’s normal
• Touch solid objects to see if they’re real

It’s recommended to choose one of these and practice it multiple times a day.

3. Wake Back to Bed (WBTB)

A simple way to practice WBTB is to set an alarm for five hours after bedtime.

Then, when the alarm goes off, you should stay awake for about 30 minutes doing a gentle activity such as reading. The more alert you are during this activity, the better the chances of experiencing lucid dreaming.

After this, go back to sleep.

4. Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreaming (MILD)

This technique was the first method that used scientific research to bring about lucid dreaming.

It involves making the intention to remember you’re dreaming.

To practice it: right before you’re about to fall asleep, think of a recent dream and something strange that happened in it (like being on the moon, or having supernatural powers, for example).

After this, imagine going back to that dream, and remembering that the strange event or ability only happens in your dream.

Finally, say to yourself a number of times: The next time I dream, I want to remember that I am dreaming.

This technique can also be used when you wake up in the middle of a dream.

5. Keep a Dream Journal

When you write down your dreams, you’re more likely to remember the strange or abnormal things that happen during them. This can increase your sense of awareness when it comes to dreaming.

The best tip is to write down your dreams as soon as you wake up, and to re-read your dream journal often.

Orgasmic Sleep: The Bottom Line

So, to sum up, sleep orgasms are absolutely real, and they can happen naturally or with the help of various techniques and tips.

Either way, it’s not something to be worried or concerned about. In fact, we see it as a beautiful gift of plaisir spoiling you while you’re sleeping sweetly.
