Sex Dreams: Facts That May Surprise You!

I’ve repeatedly mentioned in my other posts that I want my readers to be not only very, very sexy but also very well informed about all things hot and sexual. Guess why? Since it’s sexy to be sexually informed! ;)
So here are some interesting facts about erotic dreams and dreaming that may surprise you, and give “ammunition” for an interesting conversation with someone during your waking hours! I’ve summarized all sex dream facts and tidbits that I’ve found on various web resources, dreaming sites and databases (sexual health news pages, health24.com sexuality pages, dreammoods.com, AOL Personals, etc) Ok, now onto the facts. Enjoy!
As to the origin of the word “dream”, it possibly originates from the Middle English ‘drem’ or ’dreme’, which was obtained from the Old English word “dream” meaning “JOY”, and resembling the Old Saxon word “drom” meaning “MIRTH”. Indeed, many dreams are so fun and enjoyable! Particularly, those hot and sexual ones…
One very interesting fact is that EVERYBODY dreams! So if you do not remember your dream, it does not mean that you did not dream. The reason is that five minutes after the end of the dream, half the content is forgotten! And after ten minutes – ninety percent is lost.
One third of our lives is spent sleeping, and during a typical lifetime we spend over six years dreaming. That is more than 2,100 days spent in a different world! Do you know that we often have 4-7 dreams in one night? Also, I’ve found the fact that dreams are mostly experienced by all humans, majority of mammals and even some birds. Hmm, interesting… do mammals and birds have erotic dreams? ;)
Did you know that while dreaming, men experience erections and women experience increased vaginal blood flow NO MATTER what the content of the dream? And, so called “wet dreams” (nocturnal emissions) may not necessarily coincide with sexual dream content! Also, there is a fact for those men who have wet dreams: wet dreams are part of normal sexual process and not a sign of sexual disorder. So happy wet-dreaming, gentlemen! :)
Now, who has more sexual dreams – men or women? Years ago, studies reported that women dreamt about sex less frequently than men. However, a new study from psychologists at the University of Montreal in Canada showed that women have just as many sex dreams as men! BUT with one difference: men are far more likely to have fantasies about sex with imaginary lovers, while women dream about current or past lovers, as well as celebrities.
According to this study, eight percent of our dreams swirl around sexual situations and involve some kind of sexual activities or objects. 109 women and 64 men were involved in this research and asked to keep a diary of their dreams for as long as four weeks or so. The total number of dreams recorded exceeded 3,500 and 292 included sexual content. The findings were as follows:
The most common sex dream involved sexual intercourse, flirting, kissing, fantasies and masturbation. Four percent of sex dreams among men and women resulted in an orgasm. Eighteen percent of women’s sex dreams involved unwanted sex, compared with just five percent of men. Fantasies about celebrities made up nine percent of sex dreams among women and five percent among men. Men were far more likely to dream about having sex with more than one person. Four percent of women’s dreams featured a partner having an orgasm; none of men reported this dream.
What else is fun and interesting is that people weren’t the only subjects of sexual fantasies… One woman reported being aroused by A GIANT PLANT which she found to be “extremely erotic”!
Well, my sexy dreamers, MAY YOUR DREAMS BE EXTREMELY EROTIC TONIGHT! And if the reason for your arousal is… errrr… A PLANT… relax, enjoy and don’t worry – it’s just a dream! Just wake up and have sex! ;)
