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.

Dear Forum Members,

Like many of us, I have caused myself considerable problems as a result of excessive masturbation, porn and ejaculation over my lifetime. In my case, I have clearly cheated my spouse out of the terrfic love-making pleasure she deserves as a result. As a means to heal myself, I have been fortunate to embark on a regimen of hypnosis therapy with one of our forum members (NP Hypnotist). Her and I decided it may be interesting to share our therapy journey on this site.

I've been seriously distracting myself for the last few days in order to counter the intensity (usually "Red - 5") of my impulses. Nevertheless, I have still managed to find some time to fantasize about some rather complex scenarios--though I have stopped mid-thought a number of times. Anyway, I have not masturbated, I have not used porn, I have not orgasmed. But my initial concerns about my ability to fantasize have proven to be well-placed, I think. In the past, this kind of fantasizing has usually led to my seeking out cyber-sex chat partners in short order.

Anyone who reads my forum posts probably knows already that, after I have a wet dream, I often feel tempted to relapse on masturbating to porn.

Well, last night I had a wet dream about Bettie Page (if Bettie is watching down on us from above, she's probably flattered to know that the work she did in the sixties still gives 24 year old men in 2010 wet dreams). And now I'm trying to fight off the urge to relapse.

Well, what can I say! I'm at around day 4 of complete abstinence, zero porn, or masturbation, and no nocturnal emissions yet. I used to be a 3 month at a time complete abstainer, and I had nocturnal emissions regularly in intervals of 2 or 3 weeks. Recently I've been indulging in the pleasures of online adult XXX rated joy, but it has left me drained, so to speak. I feel the power in me growing stronger by the day, and yes I love it! The gift of virtue is one of ethereal power in all its grace.

I have decided to keep a log of my daily journey towards going a week without p/m/o. I will only do this to help me through the first week, and then I will attempt to go another two weeks without p/m/o.

I was a bit above a week without p/m/o when on the night of May 9th I had a wet dream. I then woke up, fought off the urges to have a conscious orgasm until about 12: 30, and then I gave in and masturbated to porn.

So I had a wet dream last night. It's been wet dream galore for me lately. I'm 23, but I feel like I'm going through puberty all over again, haha.

About a week ago I had a wet dream, and then woke up and relapsed on porn and masturbation. And then I had another wet dream two nights after that (this past Tuesday). And then I have my wet dream last night. Sheesh!

I'm kind of disappointed because I was going pretty strong and I wanted to make it to two weeks without orgasm.

Hello,
I just had a wet dream, but It was just semen! No sperms!
How is this possible?
Well I was on my 46th day of no orgasms.
I think the two weeks period is for mice (As this research was conducted on mice) & men recover quicker than mice.
I just wanted to know what happens during wet dreams??
Is it orgasm in sleep or just ejaculation?
I mean... do wet dreams create same change in dopamine, oxytocin as they are caused by orgasms?
If they cause the same change, I will try to avoid wet dreams.
Otherwise, I won't care much about wet dreams in future.

I am a 15 year old male attempting to not orgasm, so far my results have been rather unsuccessful. Not because of any fault of mine really, but because twice I have been foiled a week+ without orgasms by an uncontrollable wet dream orgasm. I have read that when seminal fluid builds up it can be released involuntarily (typically through a wet dream), since adolescent males create a lot more seminal fluid than older adults it is quite possible that without semi regular discharge of this fluid one would continue to have wet dreams.

I appreciate everyone's timely encouragement, which is likely helping prevent a relapse. 8 days as of today 7/8/2009. No masturbating, no touching for me since June 30, 2009!
