Background
So I wake up around 3 AM with a steel-hard erection. I know it will take about 40-45 minutes to subside before I can even think about getting back to sleep. In the meantime, I try my best to keep my hands to myself. But just a little touch on my frenulum through my short PJ bottoms sends a ‘horny shock’ throughout my body and makes me wish I could have a wet dream or at least a somewhat involuntary ejaculation. But alas, neither is happening.
The combination of semen retention (SR) (Day 8) and NoFap PMO (Day 64) means that I have really scaled-back my ejaculation frequency. I now have them only to control my blue-balls; there is no prolonged pleasure. An edging session is out of the question!
But then I starting thinking about this some more……

Do We Guys Have To Get Horny?
I suppose some guys would say “NO!” But upon closer inspection, these things come to mind. First, all ‘normal’ males MUST HAVE night-time erections (called NPTs). These will come whether the guy wants them or not. They are designed to keep a male’s penis healthy. With the regular ‘up-and-down’ of each erection (perhaps 5-7 each night), the penis is invigorated with new blood and thus is always ready for its primary mission: ejaculation.
For those guys (like me) who regularly practice semen retention (SR), the infrequent ejaculations will naturally boost testosterone, which will peak at around Day 7. This T-boost (at least for me) gives a shot of horniness which can manifest itself in more frequent and regular erections, precum leakage and perhaps an ejaculation. Yes, the male’s ejaculatory system is “asking” for a release! Will he give it? If the answer is “NO!” then another opportunity for an ejaculation may arise……a wet dream!
Wet Dreams
I have only experienced once wet dream since starting semen retention and that occurred at Day 12. Usually, now I will start to develop blue-balls at around Day 9 or 10. I would like to get to Day 12 again; perhaps then I will experience another wet dream. I feel that when the NPTs wake me up, I am well on my way to a wet dream. Perhaps I need to be just a little ‘fuller’ with semen so my ‘tipping-point’ (aka a wet dream) may be realized. The wet dream will reset the SR counter but will not count as a relapse in NoFap. Usually, by the time a wet dream is inevitable, a male’s level of horniness is reaching an extreme and it is during those times when masturbation -to-ejaculation is a distinct possibility. If I am not experience any blue-balls symptoms then, I can control my urge to masturbate by wearing a ‘chastity cup’. These really work for me and I need to keep the cup in place until the erection (and the horniness) subsides.
Biology Lesson 101
It goes without saying that males (while awake) must be sexually excited to get an erection. (NPT erections happen automatically at night without excitation). And the erection is necessary for partner penetration (or if solo, masturbation). Sexual stimulation is necessary for the male (while awake) to achieve an ejaculation. Thus, ‘horniness’ encompasses all components of his male libido, including sexual arousal, erection and ejaculation.
Are you a male? Then you are going to get horny! Touche’.
