Wet Dream in Boys

Tips for Parents

At some point, most kids will have their first wet dream. If you’re a parent of a tween or teen, it’s natural to want to know how to explain this experience to them. Wet dreams can be confusing and scary for kids, so it’s important to talk to them about them in a way that is informative and reassuring. Here are a few tips on how to approach the conversation.

The first thing you should do is explain what a wet dream is. Wet dreams are when the boy’s body needs to release the excess production of sperm and semen. He ejaculates at the same time has an orgasm. A nice tingly feeling in their genitals. Although it usually happens during sleep it may or may not be associated with sexual dreams. They commonly occur during the early tween years. Some boys have them and some boys don’t.

Although we talk about wet dreams more often with. boys, girls can have wet dreams too. For girls, it’s less common during puberty and more often as the girls get older. Not all girls will notice this wetness in their genitals.

If as a parent you notice that your tween boy may be having a wet dream don’t tease him about the possibility of a sexual dream. They are probably embarrassed enough about all this new experience. Just ask if he understands why this is happening and offer the information above.

Do take this opportunity to get your tween to start doing their laundry!! Have a good training session and he should be off and running. It’s never too early.
