I stumbled across some useful information relating to female wet dreams last week.
In 1953, Alfred Kinsey, Ph.D., the famous sexuality researcher, found that nearly 40 percent of the 5,628 women he interviewed experienced at least one nocturnal orgasm (orgasms during sleep), or "wet dream," by the time they were forty-five years old.
A smaller study published in the Journal of Sex Research in 1986 found that 85 percent of the women who had experienced nocturnal orgasms had done so by the age of twenty-one... some even before they turned thirteen. In addition, women who have orgasms during sleep usually have them several times a year.
Dr. Kinsey and his colleagues defined female nocturnal orgasm as sexual arousal during sleep that awakens one to perceive the experience of orgasm.
Girls and women who don't have orgasms in their sleep, or who don't know whether or not they've had them, are perfectly normal. It may be easier for men to identify their wet dreams because of the "ejaculatory evidence." Vaginal secretions could be a sign of sexual arousal without orgasm.

This information is on a website called Go Ask Alice - Columbia University's Health Q&A Internet Service, have a look around - there are some great questions answered.

I was talking to another man at work about female wet dreams and our lack of knowledge or even awareness of this as we were growing up.
ReplyDeleteI was also talking to a woman about this and she was saying that her dreams always build up to a state of excitement and then NEVER actually get there. Never an orgasm in her sleep through a dream. She put it down to being sooo repressed that even in her sleep her mind could not free itself from the learned behaviour that sex is not to be enjoyed
