Day 14 - this is getting quite difficult.
Also day 14-ish. Without a problem. As long as dreamsex doesn't count, that is.
Was a conscious (lucid) decision? :PQuote:

Are you saying that release in a dream will occur in reality? My dreams are pretty much full of sex, and I've never woke up... well, with a mess.
I meant wouldn't* get any physical release, sorry.
But it can occur, actually.
^^ I was going to say, you've never heard of wet dream? :chuckle: But the thing is, if you're doing it for self-control (rather than chemical benefits) then whether or not you were lucid makes all the difference. Your body still uses the same chemicals to give you the feeling of orgasm whether you're awake or asleep.
Ya, but if I orgasm in my dream and then wake up... I could easily masturbate. Would that not indicate there was no change in prolactin levels? It'd be quite impossible for me to do it if there was a change.
I'm pretty sure the release associate with an actual physical orgasm is the key here. Even if you orgasm in a dream state, you don't go through the same physiological changes if you were actually undergo a physical orgasm.
You said you never wake up with a mess, though. Orgasming isn't as significant in making guys unable to go again as ejaculation is, in fact you can easily orgasm multiple times if you don't ejaculate (which is why it's so much more common for girls, obviously). However, I'm not entirely certain of the chemical differences there.Quote:

Just a random note: if your dream orgasms wake you up at all (whether you're ejaculating or not), you're probably going through a real orgasm for them. Part of the way orgasms work directly opposes REM sleep. If you stay asleep through them then it's anyone's guess. I'd say that if they don't change the stability of your dream at all then you probably didn't physically have one.
Always wakes me up like an alarm clock. ^^
I'd say you're probably really having them then. :P Considering the types of things you do remain asleep through, I'd imagine it'd take something much stronger than the rush of getting to have sex alone to wake you up. :lol:Quote:

I'm joining again, this time I'm gonna to do two weeks. My last goal was too unachievable.
I approve of this idea. Weekends would be the best. thing. ever.Quote:

I've decided that it drove me absolutely bonkers and it basically sucks. These past few days my mind has been so full of fuck you don't even want to know.
This is pretty much my experience. So rough.
