My level of relief has receded a bit over the last few months. The prepack still makes life more livable, but wet dreams are a nightmare that are ruining my life. Indomethacin did nothing for me.
Once I am in POIS there is absolutely nothing that helps me so far. Nothing. If I have a NE, I take heaps of fish oil, lethicin, zinc, mg, quercetin, panadol.... but NONE OF THEM DO ANYTHING NOTICEABLE. What do people do in POIS? Hide in your rooms?
Any new ideas?
Hi Michael,
Wet dreams happen, obviously, in the REM sleep phase, not in the deep sleep phase, so there is a chance you can wake up after a wet dream ( I usually do, and you can develop this "abiity"). When I do wake up, I take my pre-pack immediately, because I always have a prepared pre-pack in a pill bottle at my bedside, with some water. It is better to take it in advance, but I still have a good level of relief if I take it immediately after, or as soon as I wake up and realize I had a NE.
If you know you average period between NE, you can also do "preventive releases" with a pre-pack before a NE happens. I know the signs for myself, like morning wood are more stiff and there are some spasms in the PG muscles, sign the tension is building up, nd that a NE may happen in the coming days ( that is for a "natural" NE not triggered by a specific stress or a specific source of sexual stimulation of my brain during the day, just by accumulating semen or sexual tension building up over days and weeks).
I also avoid visual stimulation, like looking at attractive females for too long... I know, it is quite normal to look to a beautiful woman, but I tend, now, to look them in the eyes, and modulate this attractiveness so that it resonates more in the heart than in the genitals ! Obviously, I have banned even soft porn from my internet habits, not even looking for female celebs photographs on the internet, because even when dressed, they tend to look as sexy and attractive as possible, which is kind of part of their job... ( again, if I compare myself to other, this may seems like not normal and frustrating, but I do not compare myself to others anymore and take me as I am, and act accordingly ). Passion and interest in life can be expressed in many other ways than in sex, so I am not a less happy person for that.
I also have noted that it is best for me to avoid eating too much during the evening, because an irritated or bloated stomach seems to raise the probabilities of a NE.
I am sure you may also identify some personal triggers for your NE.
I do not know how old you are, but a with time, NE are getting more rare, as Demo have already pointed out. So, I do not have to do preventive releases very often now, maybe once every 2 to 3 weeks, and it is usually not necessary because I am in a long term relationship, so I just use my pre-pack before sexual activity ( and my spouse is ok with a less frequent activity, she knows and is understanding about my POIS ) If someone has NE frequency that is not more than once a week, a "preventive release" a week with a pre-pack taken before should help.
Keep searching for what works for you, Michael, and try to note every single aspect of your behavior or physical and mental state that may seem to lead to a NE, and to know what is you true, real NE frequency when no stress or specific factor comes in a trigger one sooner than expected.
