How To Stop Wet Dreams

#1 Understand why wet dreams occur.

While you're asleep, involuntary ejaculations will sometimes occur when your genitals become stimulated by your clothes or sleeping position, resulting in orgasm and ejaculation. They may even happen when no stimulation to the genitals occurs. Your body produces semen and seminal fluid whether you like it or not, whether you're sexually active or not, whether you masturbate regularly or not. Your body does this regardless of religious or cultural considerations.

If you're not orgasming regularly, but still are becoming aroused, excess seminal fluid from the prostate can make your genitals sensitive and tender, which may make wet dreams more likely.

#2 Changing Behaviors - Relax

In some cases, big changes or stressful periods reportedly produce more wet dreams than at other more relaxed periods of leisure. Make sure you get enough sleep and exercise, take time off from your busy schedule to relax and do things that you enjoy. Pick up new hobbies to fill your free time with fun activities and relax when you get the chance to relax.

#3 Sleep on your back

Wearing loose fitting clothes or sleeping naked may reduce the risk of accidental stimulation while you're asleep.

Some monastics who abstain from sexual behavior change their sleep patterns by sleeping only a few hours at a time and waking up frequently throughout the night to meditate or pray briefly before returning to sleep, reducing the risk of involuntary ejaculation.

#4 Avoid spicy foods and stimulants.

Eating "heating" foods like green chiles and eggplant is considered a risky behavior in some cultures, as well as coffee and other substances that contain caffeine, especially late at night.

If you're struggling with wet dreams, try to eat smaller meals throughout the day, staying hydrated to keep your digestion functioning properly. Go to the bathroom frequently and get plenty of exercise to relieve tension.

#5 Avoid overtly sexual stimuli

As much as possible, avoid situations that produce a sexual response in you. It'll be much easier to control your sexual urges if you avoid pornography, sexual programming on television, and other media. Fill your time with enriching, fulfilling activities and avoid dwelling on thoughts of sex.

#6 Try practicing yoga, tantra, or karezza.

Becoming more familiar with your body's relationship to itself and it's functions will help you control your orgasms both as part of your sexual relationships and in unconscious situations, like when you're asleep. Doing yoga will help you learn about your body and be more conscious of its responses.

If you're sexually active, tantra or karezza are semi-spiritual yoga practices that involve semi-frequent sexual activity that does not involve orgasm, recasting sex as an intimacy-building exercise between two people, not a "reproduction activity." Dissociating sexual contact from orgasm might help control wet dreams

#7 Develop a healthy relationship with sex and masturbation

If you're sexually active, communicate with your partner to maintain a healthy and open sexual relationship that keeps you both fulfilled, and talk to them about your wet dreams if you feel comfortable.

If you're not sexually active (and even if you are) develop a healthy relationship with masturbation. If it helps keep your sexual thoughts and urges in check, it might be right for you.

#8 Using Natural Home Remedies

Try sage tea. As part of an Ayurvedic diet, sometimes sage tea is used as a night-time drink that aids sleep and relaxation, often used among monastics and other lay persons to avoid sexual thoughts and wet dreams.

Try fenugreek and honey as a "coolant." Mixing some fenugreek powder--a common ingredient in Indian and other mid-Eastern cooking--with an equal amount of honey to mask the bitterness, is often used as a sleep aid and remedy for sexual afflictions like wet dreams

Drink licorice root tea. Aside from aiding your breathing and throat health, licorice root is commonly used in Eastern medicine for all sorts of "root chakra" cases. It tastes good and promotes general wellness and respiratory health.

Try a warm bath with essential oils. It's a common misconception that "cold showers" decrease sex drive. Contrarily, cold temperatures may actually increase sperm production in the testicles. Practicing aroma therapy by taking relaxing warm baths with a few drops of peppermint, lavender, sandalwood, or rose oil is thought to reduce the possibility of wet dreams.

Try gourd extract. One common home remedy, but one without any basis in science, involves mixing equal parts of gourd extract and sesame oil and rubbing it into your scalp before bed to eliminate sexual desires. It can't hurt to try.
