If you think your nocturnal emission is too frequent, it is still not a cause for alarm as the frequency varies in humans. One of the factors that determines this is by how much sexual activity a man engages in over a period of time.

If you haven't gotten laid in a while, you are likely to observe a lot of involuntary or unsolicited ejaculation while asleep compared to another who has sex at least twice a week.

"Wet dreams are a normal part of growing up. There's nothing you can do to control or stop wet dreams.

"Even if you have a lot of wet dreams it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. Some guys have wet dreams a few times a week. Others may only have a couple of wet dreams during their entire life.
