Increase Chance of WD?

[DryGuy]

My theory is that if I am edging and all, my body is expecting that I will JO soon, and I'll get my release that way. If I am basically ignoring my penis, it then has to get creative and come up with another avenue for release. But that's just me

It's as reasonable a theory as anything else IMO.
My suspicion is maybe edging (or very high arousal) for some people causes small (but regular) releases into the bladder. I've noticed a marked decrease in the amount of semen in my urine, that aligns with my relative lack of excitement towards this abstinence streak.

[Squeeze2]

Yeah, I think it does the same thing re: the bladder. Relieving some of the buildup in our inner glands there seems to me like it may lessen the chance of a WD, but who knows lol

Does exercise help and what exercises would be the best? Anyone with experience?

i've read on the old forum that drinking water before sleep helps. i've tested that theory and i decided to share my insights about it. It does work, but it's not a matter of drinking a lot of water shortly before bedtime after you've already urinated. That caused me to wake up in the middle of the night.

- You need to go to bed with a feeling like you could go urinate (you know how the muscles move just by thinking about the toilet but relax when you lay down in bed), but not uncomfortably needing to (making it hard to fall asleep).

It really is a fine balance, little more you wake up in the night or have troubles falling asleep, little less nothing happens. (Luckily the only times i dreamed about urinating nothing happened).
Sometimes i needed to go urinate right after i had a WD.
Oh, and obviously you need to be AB already, maybe even after starting with empty vesicles. Watching something arousing helped too, but it would work without doing so if you were full enough. To be frank, i also edged a couple of times before going to sleep too, releasing during sleep. Those were checks, but weren't as enjoyable as if it would occur naturally.

I've also used my knowledge at times when i definitely didn't want a wd - urinating right before bedtime. Only once have i had a WD on an empty bladder, and i was very surprised.

Found this post on reddit recently.

https://www.reddit.com/r/WetDream/comme ... are_button

Here's the text of the reddit post as well for posterity:

One of the many things i miss in life are my wet dreams, All of the ones i got were light years more enjoyable than porn and masturbation,

But i got really addicted to porn and masturbation so they obviously vanished from my life.

I decided many times to stop just to get a single one, Call me obsessed but i genuinely enjoy them the most.

I did succeed to go without PMO or masturbation for weeks and EVEN months some times but they never occurred, So then in result i relapse again, Thinking that they will never occur.

My dopamine levels were too high i was seeking stuff that i would never get into in my life like trans and futanari to name a few, even though i'm truly not into them, I was just seeking more odd things to stimulate my dead dopamine receptors.

And i also didn't take care of my health being, Even a simple thing as drinking water i wasn't doing properly, Also had a vitamin d deficiency (Which plays a huge role in testosterone production and your general mood) because i rarely go out and my dog shit sleep schedule didn't help either, With many other problems.

Exactly 28 days ago i really wanted change and leave this addiction forever and go back to a normal human being, So i completely quit (not only porn but everything that hits my dopamine receptors youtube, gaming, etc).

And only about 8 days after i quit i noticed that hot girls/ characters that i always viewed as a burning campfire thrown in the middle of a harah cold winter forest now turned into just the remaining ashes of a campfire that someone else used long time ago.

I got super worried i immediately went to a porn site and i tried to get an erection i couldn't what so ever and orgasmed without it! it felt so weird i got so depressed went searching everywhere to find how i can fix this and i was surprised how common this is it just called flatline and i got it for the first time, It truly sucked my libido and sex drive was at 0 no matter what and i got really sad, I felt like an 80yo even though i'm literally 19, And another huge factor was my awful health state combine that with a flatline and you'll be literally a dead fish.

I even thought of killing myself many times while going through it because i thought i screwed my life forever,

But thank god i got the help i needed from the community's in reddit to ensure me this will past with time

So i took care of my health, Stayed hydrated, Exercised, Socialised in the real world, Completely destroyed my old habits like gaming with my friends on discord 24/7 They also post many triggers so i had to get out, And most importantly no more porn no more masturbating, each day kept getting better, and better, i get erections way easier, my libido went up a little bit each day.

And even with that i still truly lost any hope of getting a wet dream, The closest i got to a wet dream the last 3 years were my porn induced fitches like girls with dicks and they weren't even enough for me to orgasm, And also the fact nothing turns me on because of what i was going through.

But to my surprise after 20 days of suffering with my flatline, My motivation in life, And how hard it's to build new habits after all these years..

OMG I can't believe it, I literally can't put in words

IT HAPPENED!!!

I GOT MY FIRST WET DREAM AFTER 3 FUCKING YEARS!!!!

I wish i could recall what the dream was exactly, all i remember was just me watching a porn video but that video was SO FUCKING GOOD, And it was heterosexual too!!!!?!

And let me tell you it hit my dopamine receptors harder than anything i've ever done in my life, i got sad in the dream because i ruined my streak but then immediately woke up and felt like the happiest man in the world.

The only bad news is that my semen penetrated my pants and fill up the whole sheets which never happened before, that shows how good the wet dream was lol.

In conclusion:

Wether if you're also obsessed with wet dreams but you don't get them anymore like me,

Or went through what i went through from depression/anxiety/flatline/health issues,

DON'T LOSE HOPE

do what i did and eventually your libido will comeback, your erections will comeback, your true taste will come back, And most satisfyingly your wet dreams will comeback, it will happen don't even doubt it and it will be the best thing you ever witness it's years better than any porn or any hit of dopamine you'll ever have, or atleast that's what i got from my experience.

I've seen many people hate getting wet dreams and find them weird or hard to clean up or doesn't help their process of quitting porn and only give them urges to relapse which i can totally understand, But i think they are 100% natural and for me far more enjoyable than all porn i consumed in my life.

If you still get urges or keep relapsing occasionally just remember porn is a leach, a virus, a disease, that only takes and never give anything back, It will destroy your life, your health, your mental, your relationships, your youthfulness, making you weak and less of a human.

Yes, porn is seductive

You can touch it, you just can't masturbate or edge. The rest is right though, his theory is that you can increase sperm production through arousal, and if you can outpace the rate of sperm absorption, you can force the ampulla of the vas deferens into an over-filled state that triggers a wet dream.

I do not have a medical background, so I am not sure if I am missing something here, but this process seems flawed to me. If the vas deferens ampulla being overfull is a trigger for a wet dream, then at what point does the body decide its time for release? Surely if its overful, it would just release at that point, in a more spontaneous ejaculation kind of manner.

Moreover, if we assume that Dipke's analysis of semen buildup taking about a week at maxiumum before old fluid is re-absorbed, then that fails to explain how people, however rare it may be, have multiple wet dreams in a week, or, something that happens quite a bit more often, have two WDs in a night.

I'd love to open this discussion back up, because it's currently not making sense in my mind.

[Texanguy]

Two WDs in one night and/or several WDs per week basically prove that the 'WD when overfull' idea is simply wrong. We have also seen in the past here, when more guys were taking AB seriously, that a guy may AB for weeks or longer without getting a WD, and then start to get them fairly regularly. We've also seen that they have to start all over again if they go back to MB for a while, and that it may be even more difficult to go back to WDs a second time.

It thus seems that a better explanation is that WDs are more for the brain than the body, and that the body has various other ways to absorb or handle the excess. If the right brain path becomes activated, a guy will have a WD when asleep. They might also have an SE when awake, which at least sometimes is from a stimulating thought or reaction.

It also appears that the 'WD brain path' is built in. Guys who never MB seem to develop the WD brain path easily when hitting puberty. But regular MB seems to replace the 'WD brain path' with an 'MB brain path', so that the more years a guy MBs, the harder it is for them to go back to WDs.

On top of all this, everyone is different. Some of those differences may very well be genetic.

[goodlife]

I think this is accurate

[Texanguy]

I think another factor in getting WDs is edging, or rather lack of it. It appears that frequent WDers don't edge. The success stories here in the past, where guys went from MBer to frequent WDer, did not seem to include edging. Edging doesn't seem to even occur to longtime total WDers.

If we continue with the 'brain paths' idea, edging not only risks unwanted slip ups, it logically keeps reinforcing the 'MB brain path', which also logically keeps the 'WD brain path' from reactivating and taking over.

Of course, the 'hornies' can indeed become separate from MB and edging. When WDs become the major outlet, the 'brain paths' that lead to MB or edging can move to the background, or even disappear over time.

There are plenty of guys hoping for their next WD when they go to bed tonight while having zero interest in MB or edging.

That could even be seen as 'natural'.
