We have all had erotic dreams, consciously or unconsciously. If you want to know exactly what they consist of and why they happen, pay attention because we will tell you about them in these lines.
Well, we must take into account that sexuality also manifests itself through our unconscious and erotic dreams are considered a manifestation of sexual desire.
Why do we have erotic dreams?
Erotic dreams can have different causes: from a long period without sexual activity to a latent desire to have sex with a specific person or, in the case of men, long periods of abstinence that force the body to get rid of accumulated semen through nocturnal emissions.
It should be noted that having a wet dream about someone other than your partner does not necessarily mean that you want to be unfaithful or have a relationship with them. It could simply be that the image of this person has been recorded and is processed in this way in the mind, something that also occurs with homosexual experiences through dreams.
However, an erotic dream does not mean having an orgasm. The vast majority of these types of dreams simply show different sensual scenes that produce excitement and their corresponding physical effect in both men and women. In the case of women, it will cause obvious vaginal lubrication, while in the case of men, it will cause an erection.
Only about 4% of these episodes end in orgasms that would cause the person to wake up abruptly due to the pleasurable sensation it would cause.
This type of dream is more common in adolescence but can appear, as we say, at any stage of life, especially if the possible reasons we have discussed are met. It must be taken into account that it is during this period that sexuality and desire begin to emerge and it is more likely to happen.
I had an erotic dream, what does it mean?
In any case, these dreams must be interpreted as a unique opportunity to obtain pleasure without even making any kind of effort. The key is not to think too much about the reason for these dreams and simply enjoy them. After all, it is a dream response that we do not control and that we will not know when it can be repeated. Enjoy it and your sexuality with total freedom.
