My boyfriend has been gone for the last week or so. He was back last night, but he was tired from driving and I've got my period, so we spent the night together but we didn't do anything, but he ended up having a wet dream. he says that this is the first one we had since we started dating. Is it unusual to have a wet dream after just a week without sex? Is this something to be worried about?

How old is your boyfriend? -
A guy's sex drive has no reasoning to it. It wants what it wants. I've had one the same night as having had sex.
It's no big deal.Comment

We all (men and women) have arousal and erections several times each night. If we didn't, our genitals would not receive enough oxygen and develop other problems. We don't know it because we are asleep. Night time arousal has nothing to do with actual desire.Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster (sung by Janis Joplin)Comment

I've NEVER had a wet dream. I think this is because I'm such a light sleeper, every time I've had a really erotic dream I wake up before anything good happens

My boyfriend sometimes has one right after we had sex because he is still so "excited" about what happened. And sometimes, when we're going through stressful times or anything bothers him, he has like no wet dreams at all. I think it actually has nothing to do with how often you have sex. Don't worry.

Lizzard, he is 22.
Thanks to all who replied. I guess it is just normal. He stopped having wet dreams when we began having sex so this just came as a bit of a surprise. We both figured that frequent intercourse meant that he wouldn't be having wet dreams any more, but I guess it's normal.Comment

He probably was extra excited from the week apart and from being close to you without being able to have sex. I wouldn't consider it unusual.I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.
