Is Nightfall Normal? Myths vs Facts
Nightfall, also called wet dreams or nocturnal emission, is a common condition experienced by many men, especially during teenage years and early adulthood. Despite being natural, nightfall is often surrounded by myths and unnecessary fear.
Let’s separate facts from fiction.
What Is Nightfall?
Nightfall happens when semen is released during sleep involuntarily. It usually occurs due to sexual dreams, hormonal changes, or semen buildup in the body.
Occasional nightfall is generally considered normal.
Common Myths About Nightfall
