HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve has released the results of a survey asking respondents if they have ever had a sex dream with a happy ending.
Among the respondents, 59% of those who have erotic dreams (68% of males and 50% of females) say they experience orgasm as part of the dream.
“Experiencing an orgasm during sex dreams is a normal and healthy occurrence,” said Adam & Eve’s resident sexologist, Dr. Jenni Skyler. “Often referred to as a nocturnal emission in men and a sleep-related orgasm in women, the experiences occur during REM sleep when breathing and heart rate increase. This increases blood flow throughout the body, including the genitals, and can make them hypersensitive to stimulation of any kind.”
The web-based survey, conducted by an independent third-party survey company of over 1,000 American adults aged 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.
