"She says a 2020 study found that over 70% of the population has had a sex dream. "The sex dreams mainly happen during REM sleep, which is the phase where we dream the most, and the brain is almost as active as when we're awake. The dreams are often quite surprising, intense, and at times even taboo and purely inappropriate, and that's completely normal!""
"Malia Lazu, a certified sex therapy practitioner and the founder of Sunflower Spa, agrees and says that frequency and intensity can also fluctuate as people age. "Men also report having more sex dreams than women," she says. "Which could be for a host of reasons, including sex being more on their mind." The good news is, even before we were all reading erotic fiction about sex with faeries and ogres, our weird, hot dreams were normalized."
Sex dreams remain common across the population, with a 2020 study finding over 70% of people have experienced them. These dreams mainly occur during REM sleep, when the brain is nearly as active as when awake, and can be surprising, intense, and sometimes taboo. Frequency and intensity of sex dreams can fluctuate with age. Men report more sex dreams than women, possibly because sexual thoughts occupy more of their attention. Wet dreams often involve waking fully aroused, and full orgasms during sleep—called sleep orgasms or nocturnal orgasms—can occur without physical stimulation; many women report experiencing them.
