Dear Edson

I am sorry that you are troubled by your experience of ‘wet dreams’. Don’t worry: there is nothing wrong with your body and no reason to feel embarrassed.

Wet dreams are a normal sign that your body is moving from childhood to manhood. This is called puberty. During puberty, your body changes and begins to produce sperm. These sperm are ready to leave your body and they often come out through ‘wet dreams’.  You might find that you still have an erection when you wake up. This does not necessarily mean you have been dreaming about sex, it is just a sign that your body has matured.

Wet dreams are most common among teenagers although you can experience them throughout your adult life.
So don’t be afraid that this will mean problems when you marry – the wet dreams you are experiencing are perfectly natural. All men experience wet dreams at some time. Just ask an older brother or an uncle and they will confirm this.
