Just had this thought, am I stroking it in my sleep when I’m having a wet dream? Or is it automatic?

    Your body is paralyzed for the most of the time you sleep so that you don’t physically act out your dreams, so probably not.

    I might have a stupid answer but like what I’m thinking (I’m 100% just guessing) is that you still kinda move around ( like rolling from side to side or scratching your ass ) when you sleep. So therefore, maybe your brain is probably somewhat active - like you are doing more than just subconsiously breathing and sleeping like a dead body. Thennnnn, maybe you are stroking it or maybe its just your brain sending signals to your thingy with out you stroking it. Maybe it’s all in your head.

    However, if you’re pumping it then I am sure you would notice it and wake up. Im saying all this because I recently had a dream where I was in a fight and i literally kicked the wall next to my bed as hard as I could. IT FUCKING HURT. I aimed for his neck…

    Could be.

    There are plenty of people that do masturbate in their sleep, and it’s more common during puberty.

    However, most wet dreams are generated without manual stimulation. Typically, it’s a combination of the stimulation of the genitals against clothing, or bedding with the brain’s ability to process those signals into something else and match it up with whatever dreams are ongoing.

    In some cases, it doesn’t even need any physical stimulation at all. The brain can do all the work, so just the bare minimum stimulation from the aroused genitals just being there is all it takes to generate orgasm.

    The pumping of blood, minor muscle tension and movements are all it takes when the brain is doing its thing.

    Matter of fact, it’s possible to have a hands free orgasm while awake for the same reason, though it takes practice.

    wet dreams typically just happen.

    but, eh, you might also be rubbing it out if you’re not quite fully asleep. a lot of weird stuff can happen between waking and sleep.

    It is rare but possible to go all the way to erection and ejaculation without any contact or repetitive motion of any external kind whatsoever. Some dreams can be bizarrely effecting in that way.
