History Main / NocturnalEmission

->''I just had a wet dream, I'm covered in nut cream. It's all icky, really sticky.''

* Non-sexual versions frequently happen in ''Manga/WanderingSon''. The protagonist often has these, even when his dreams are not sexual. Yuki's first flashback notes [[{{Transgender}} her]] having one of these, going to the bathroom, and her crush (now boyfriend) walks in at a school field trip when they were children.

* Butters had one in the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Sarcastaball". Note that Butters is only ten years old.

* Also suggested in Music/BruceSpringsteen's "I'm On Fire" when he sings "Last night I woke up with [[EmbarrassingDampSheets the sheets soaking wet]]" while thinking about his JailBait subject.

[[DoubleStandard Men]] [[ImAManICantHelpIt are]] [[TheUnfairSex such]] [[AllMenArePerverts perverts]] that they even ejaculate in their sleep. There is a perfectly normal (i.e. non-perverted) biological explanation for this, but Fiction Land likes to pretend that it's always a result of an EroticDream and/or ADateWithRosiePalms. Also, in Fiction Land, women never do this. (In real life, they do, but barring female ejaculation it's a lot harder for women to tell in the morning.) TruthInTelevision for both sexes, though this phenomenon is more the exception than the rule. A teenage boy's first nocturnal emission is often given the same treatment in TheTalk as a teenage girl's first period.

* ''Manga/KemonoJihen'' features an unusually serious version of this trope: in Yui's backstory, one day his twin brother Akira sheepishly admits that [[EmbarrassingDampSheets he wet the bed]] the previous night despite being a teenager. Yui, who started going through puberty a bit earlier than his twin, realizes that Akira most likely didn't wet the bed but actually experienced his first nocturnal emission-- meaning that [[spoiler: the women of their village will now consider him mature enough to subject to [[RapeAsDrama the same horrific treatment as Yui.]]]]

* Snuck [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar past the radar]] on ''Series/That70sShow'', in a flashback to the gang's younger days.

If a man is discovered to have such an emission by someone else (''especially'' his LoveInterest), he will NeverLiveItDown.

* "Undercover Angel" by Alan O'Day is a more subtle example: "I never had a dream that made sweet love to me." Of course, it loses that subtlety near the end when a voice constantly pants "undercover".

* ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'': Suggested to have happened to Empath in the novel, and to his fellow Smurfs in "I Dream Of Smurfette". Referred to as "[[UnusualEuphemism the Smurfette dream]]". See [[http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130130140956/smurfsfanon/images/f/f0/Hefty%27s_Dream_Complete.jpg this image]] for some laughs.

* ''Music/{{Koit}}'' has a song "Wet Dream" which is all about this.
