So been trying to give up porn and masturbation for a while now while always failing around the 27-30 day mark. Anyway I'm on day 8 and for the first time in my life ive had a wet dream. Now are these bad for recovery? are the healthy?

Never woken up so horny.

I can relate to what you are saying. The one month mark is quite a challenge and often represents the amount of time for me to have a slip up. Personally, I think that it is fascinating that you are yet another man with a similar "cycle". Notice how this is nearly the amount of time of a woman's period. There may be some yet unknown connection to the two cycles--making it very difficult to go beyond the one month mark.

As for the wet dreams, a urologist told me about a year ago that wet dreams are a great "regulator" of the plumbing and that we (older men especially) should actually embrace the wet dream as a guide to what the body is needing. In fact, he told me that absent any desire to have children, allowing my body to release via the wet dream (if/when the body thinks they are necessary) is the most healthy way to do so.

He gave a HUGE caveat, however. The wet dream as a guide is ONLY in the absense of masturbation/porn or other irritations. If you masturbate too much, you can irritate things and actually hasten a wet dream.(spermatorreah, I think it is called, even though he didn't say that)

So, if I can paraphrase his advice: don't worry about the wet dream at all, unless you are bringing them about by masturbation or porn or other excessive stimulation.

your progress is very impressive. And very ambitious.

How's your social life? I think that sometimes wet dreams are signals that you need to connect more with potential mates.

28 days really seems to be the important threshold for fertile couples or people.

My own opinion is that in the absence of attempts (intercourse, masturbation, etc.) to impregnate or orgasm, the male and female cycles will coincide for couples in the child bearing ages. There has to be some unknown signal or scent or something that the female body gives off to signal a "refresh" button for the male who is of potential to impregnate. Again, absent any manual intervention, this would manifest itself in a wet dream for the male and a "period" for the female.

I further hypothesize that once the female determines (not necessarily consciously) that the male is no longer suitable (perhaps one or both of them are too old, for example) for impregnation this signal is no longer given and the wet dreams subside.

I firmly believe that the wet dream interval is a great guide and source of insight for the male.

Please keep sharing your wet dream results.
