Alice,

Are wet dreams in a sexually active 23-year-old male unusual?

—Voice HAS cracked

 

Dear Voice HAS cracked,

It is not unusual or abnormal for a sexually active twenty-three-year-old male to experience wet dreams, or nocturnal emissions. While it's true that wet dreams are much more common in adolescent males who are not pleasuring themselves to orgasm or having sex with others, wet dreams still may occur in "young adults," twenty to thirty-five years old.
