Nocturnal emissions

I'm 23 and I masturbate 4-6 days a week.  Often when I do not masturbate I ejaculate during my sleep.  Sometimes I masturbate before bed even when I'm not in the mood just to avoid this problem.  This often happens even when I do not feel particularly horny before going to bed, or think about sex much at all that entire day.  Occasionally I will have a nocturnal emission even when I have masturbated before bed, but this is pretty rare.  This has been going on for several years and I was under the impression that (frequent) nocturnal emissions typically occur during puberty but stop after adolescence.  I would appreciate any advice or insight—does this happen to other guys my age or older?  I'm afraid I may not be helping the situation by continuing to masturbate regularly, because my body takes this to be the norm, but I'm afraid that if I cut back I'll just *** in my sleep every night.

my advise would be to wear the same underwear to bed and wash them after every couple of times they have been used. I would use briefs so it keeps your semen in. Or adult dippers would be the other option. I am not being mean or joking because there is nothing to be really embarresed about in my opinion, its a guy problem. if it continuse ask your doctor about it. If I was in your position I would try adult dippers.

At the age of 23 your hormones may still be at their crazy adolescent levels, or possibly just starting to settle down. If the wet dreams bother you, wear boxers under your pajamas or something.
