“Wet dreams”: women also experience nocturnal orgasms
Many people are accustomed to thinking that many men experience orgasm in their sleep (wet dreams). And there are reasons for such misconceptions. The male orgasm has historically received more attention in sex education. In addition, male sexuality is considered less controllable than female sexuality. For men, orgasm and ejaculation almost always occur simultaneously—not just during sleep. However, the statement that nocturnal orgasm is a purely male phenomenon is fundamentally incorrect. Like female ejaculation, such phenomena have been well studied, explained and long forgotten.

The first research in this area was carried out by Alfred Kinsey. Even 60 years ago, he documented the existence of nocturnal orgasms — they were found in 37% of more than 5, 000 study participants. Women regularly encountered this phenomenon three to four times a year.

More recent scientific studies have shown similar results. In 1986, 245 university graduates were surveyed and again 37% experienced an orgasm during sleep. Moreover, these results allow us to conclude that this phenomenon is typical for young girls. According to the survey, at the age of 16 or younger, many girls begin to experience nocturnal orgasms. By age 18 — 58%. Up to 21 years old — 88%.
Taken together, these studies suggest that nocturnal orgasm in women is quite common. Research results may be underestimated because not all women are able to admit that this happened to them. Dreams are quickly forgotten, and “confirmation” is not found, “as in the case of male infection.” Kinsey”s assertion that “erotic dreams leading to orgasm are an indicator of inner female sexuality” is not always justified. In any case, we can conclude that nocturnal orgasm is a completely normal occurrence for both sexes.
