Unusual Sexual Health: No Masturbation or Wet Dreams? - Urology

Share to:

No masturbation, no nocturnal emissions?


I apologize for my curiosity, but I feel that my body seems different compared to other boys my age.
Why is it that I can go for six months without masturbating and have never experienced a wet dream? However, I don't feel any particular discomfort; I just feel like I'm quite different.
Do I need to undergo a thorough examination of my body? I would like to ask a doctor for an answer.
Thank you.

Pikachu: Hello everyone, the metabolism of semen varies from person to person.
It doesn't hold much significance.
Some individuals may go their entire lives without experiencing nocturnal emissions.
Additionally, I'm curious how you know if others have ejaculated or experienced nocturnal emissions? If there are concerns, you can go to a medical center for further detailed examinations.
If there are any unclear points, feel free to ask again so we can discuss and research together.
Answers found online should only be used as a reference; if necessary, it's best to seek medical care at a healthcare facility.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare Taitung Hospital cares about you.

It's completely understandable to have questions about your sexual health, especially when you feel different from your peers. The experiences of masturbation and wet dreams can vary significantly among individuals, and what you're experiencing is not necessarily a cause for concern.

First, let's clarify what masturbation and wet dreams are. Masturbation is a normal sexual activity that many people engage in, and it can serve various purposes, including sexual pleasure, stress relief, and exploration of one's own body. Wet dreams, or nocturnal emissions, occur when a person experiences ejaculation during sleep, often accompanied by sexual dreams. Both of these experiences are common during puberty and adolescence, as the body undergoes significant hormonal changes.

In your case, not having masturbated for an extended period or experiencing wet dreams does not inherently indicate a problem. Some individuals may have a lower sex drive or may not feel the need to engage in masturbation, and this can be influenced by a variety of factors, including hormonal levels, psychological state, and personal beliefs or values regarding sexuality. It's also worth noting that some people simply do not experience wet dreams, and this can be perfectly normal as well.

If you're not experiencing any discomfort or negative feelings about your sexual health, there may not be a need for concern. However, if you find yourself feeling anxious or if you have specific worries about your sexual health, it could be beneficial to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice and reassurance based on your individual circumstances.

It's also important to recognize that sexual health is a broad and complex topic. Factors such as emotional well-being, mental health, and social influences can all play a role in how individuals experience their sexuality. If you feel comfortable, discussing your feelings and experiences with a trusted friend or a mental health professional can also provide additional insights and support.

In summary, your experiences of not masturbating or having wet dreams are not unusual and do not necessarily indicate a health issue. Everyone's body is different, and variations in sexual behavior and experiences are normal. If you have ongoing concerns or if your feelings change, seeking professional advice can help clarify any questions you may have about your sexual health. Remember, maintaining open communication about sexual health is essential for overall well-being.
