Wet dreams occur when the body experiences an orgasm in the dream, but the dream is not related to sexual thoughts. You may feel embarrassed after having a wet dream, but this is actually a normal and healthy thing for teenagers and young adults. Wet dreams are common for both men and women, starting at puberty and continuing into adulthood. Although everyone experiences it, it's only natural that you want to stop it. Wet dreams can be stopped by changing habits or using natural remedies. In addition, you can also do several ways to overcome wet dreams that are difficult to disappear.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Changing Habits
Step 1. Avoid sleeping on your stomach to reduce the chance of wet dreams
Sleeping on your stomach can increase the chance of wet dreams. You can prevent wet dreams by sleeping on your side or on your back. Use a pillow or blanket so that the body position does not turn prone when sleeping.
Changing position during sleep is normal. So, don't be surprised if you wake up on your stomach. Maybe your body is used to and comfortable with this sleeping position
Tip:
Some people recommend sleeping on your side, but there's no guarantee that this position will help.
Step 2. Relax a few hours before going to bed so you don't get stressed
Stress can be associated with wet dreams although it doesn't apply to everyone. Maybe you can prevent wet dreams if you can control your stress and relax before bed. Take at least an hour before bed to relax your body and mind.
- Try meditating for 10 to 15 minutes. You can focus your mind on your breath, or practice meditation through a guide.
- Write your thoughts in a diary.
- Read a book.
- Do several types of yoga poses.
Step 3. Masturbate regularly to reduce the body's need to expel old sperm
While this doesn't guarantee that the wet dream will stop, it can be useful. Sperm can accumulate in the testes, and will eventually be reabsorbed by the body. However, you can have wet dreams if your body wants to release old sperm. Masturbation can keep sperm fluid under control so you don't have wet dreams.
- Masturbate before bed to reduce the possibility of wet dreams.
- Masturbation is normal, don't feel ashamed if you do it.
- This method is not suitable if you continue to have regular wet dreams even after masturbating.
Step 4. Develop a healthy relationship with sex if you are sexually active
Communicate with your partner to maintain an open and healthy sexual relationship, which can fulfill both of your desires. Talk to him about safe sex for both of you. While not everyone can stop wet dreams by having sex, this action can help reduce the chances of wet dreams occurring.
Wet dreams are generally not related to arousal, so venting sexual desire doesn't always help. As with masturbation, removing accumulated sperm can reduce the possibility of wet dreams
Step 5. Consult a counselor if you feel pressured by wet dreams
Even though wet dreams aren't really embarrassing, you can feel confused or upset when you experience them. Fortunately, you can go to a counselor to calm these thoughts. He can understand your feelings and suggest the best method for dealing with wet dreams. He will also help you overcome the things that bother you with wet dreams.
- Look for a counselor online, or ask your doctor for a referral.
- If you are covered by insurance, the services of this counselor may be covered.
Variation:
If you just want to ask about body changes, your GP may already be able to explain what's going on. He will answer all your questions. Don't be ashamed because everyone has it too.
Method 2 of 3: Using Natural Home Remedies
Step 1. Drink sage tea at night to relax the body
As part of the Ayurvedic diet, sage tea is sometimes drunk at night to aid sleep and relaxation. With a relaxed body, the chances of having a wet dream are reduced. However, there is no evidence that this ingredient actually works, and not everyone can get the same effect.
Make tea by heating water until bubbles appear at the bottom of the pot. Next, pour the water on the tea bag and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes
Step 2. Chew 2 or 3 cloves of garlic before bed to reduce blood flow to the genitals
Allicin present in garlic can reduce the amount of blood flowing to the genitals. This can prevent an erection so you won't have wet dreams. However, there is no guarantee that this method will work. To do this, try chewing 2 to 3 raw garlic cloves before bed.
Garlic has a sharp taste, especially when eaten raw. If you don't like garlic, this is not a great option
Step 3. Mix fenugreek and celery (in equal proportions), then add a spoonful of honey
Mix 1/2 cup (120 ml) of fenugreek juice and 1/2 cup (120 ml) of celery juice and add a tablespoon of honey. Drink this mixture before going to bed at night. This drink can help cool the body, although it does not guarantee to prevent wet dreams.
This drink is believed to support a healthy reproductive system
Step 4. Take a warm bath mixed with essential oils so you can relax before going to bed
Fill a tub with warm water, then add a few drops of a soothing essential oil. Some good options include peppermint, lavender, sandalwood, or rose oil. Soak in the tub for at least 20 to 30 minutes to relax your body.
Relaxing can reduce the possibility of wet dreams. However, there is no guarantee that this method will work
Method 3 of 3: Handling Wet Dreams
Step 1. Prepare a washcloth or towel near the bed to help you when you wake up
When you have a wet dream, you can clean it quickly using the cloth or towel so that no one knows. After use, place a washcloth or towel in the laundry pile. Don't forget to prepare a new cloth or towel.
- For example, you can place a towel on the nightstand (table beside the bed).
- Almost everyone has had a wet dream. If you don't feel awkward telling your friends or family about it, you don't need to have towels on the table.
Step 2. Bring a change of underwear when you don't sleep at home
It's natural to worry about having wet dreams while sleeping at someone else's house. Remember, chances are that your friend feels the same way. Just in case this happens, bring replacement underwear. With it, you can change clothes quickly if needed.
When brushing your teeth at night, leave your clothes bag in the restroom so you can easily grab your underwear if you need it
Step 3. Put on pajama pants to keep the sheets clean
Thick pajama pants can absorb a lot of fluids so the sheets don't get wet. This is to prevent the appearance of large patches in the morning. Always wear pajama pants when sleeping. If you have a wet dream, wash the pajamas before putting them back on.
Try wearing pajamas with buttons that can close the crotch tightly. If the groin area is exposed, your pajamas may not be able to absorb sperm
Step 4. Prepare a replacement sheet so you can wash the old wet sheets
It's normal for wet dreams to make the sheets wet and sticky. If this happens, you should wash the sheets. Replace dirty sheets with clean ones.
Ask your parents to teach you how to use the washing machine
