What is a dream orgasm?

A dream orgasm, medically known as a “sleep orgasm”, is a physiological response to a sexual or asexual dream that occurs while a person is asleep. It is not limited to one gender and can be experienced by both men and women. In this case, the body experiences sexual pleasure as a result of stimulation of the nervous system, accompanied by muscular contractions and even excretory behavior of the sexual organs (e.g., seminal emission or increased vaginal discharge).

“According to a study in the Journal of Human Sexuality (Journal of Sex Research), about 37% of women report having had an orgasm in their sleep, and this percentage is higher among men [1].

Why do dream orgasms happen?

1.Physiological mechanisms

Dream orgasms are associated with high activity in the limbic system (the area of the brain that controls emotions and desire). When we enter the stage of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, certain areas of the brain are particularly sensitive to sexual stimulation, triggering a pleasurable experience similar to actual sex even when there is no external touch.

“As neuroscientist Patrick McNamara notes in his book The Neuroscience of Dreams, “During REM sleep, the cerebral cortex becomes more sensitive to certain emotional stimuli, which may explain the authenticity of the dream neutral experience.” [2]

2.Psychological factors

Dream content often stems from our subconscious desires, anxieties, or memories. If certain experiences during the day trigger strong emotions (whether sexual desire or stress), it may appear in a symbolic way in a dream that triggers an orgasmic experience. The psychologist Freud’s analytic theory of dreams also mentions that dreams are “symbolic gratification of repressed desires.”

3. Hormonal action

Fluctuations in hormone levels in the body, especially peaks in the production of testosterone and estrogen, can also increase the likelihood of sexual dream arousal. According to a Harvard University study on hormones and sleep, the night is an active period of sex hormones in the body, which may affect the occurrence of sexual dreams or orgasms. [4]

Is this experience normal?

Totally normal! Dream orgasms are a natural physiological phenomenon, especially in adolescence or less sexual stages are more common. This is not only a sign of physical health, but also a reflection that your nervous system and sexual function are functioning well. So don’t be shy or confused about it.
