Dear nightrider2,

Most guys have wet dreams, but some never do. Either way is normal.

A wet dream, or nocturnal emission, is an erotic dream that is so intense that a guy ejaculates in his sleep. Wet dreams are one of the ways the body gets rid of semen that builds up. Very often guys don't remember the dream. Guys tend to have wet dreams less often if they ejaculate while they're awake, either from masturbation or sex play with a partner.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
