Nocturnal Emission

This is the emission of semen during sleep; it is hence called ‘wet dream’. The act of emission is called forth by erotic dreams; but if a man becomes a chronic sufferer, not only are dreams not necessary to call forth emission, but simply sleeping on the back or indigestion are quite enough to cause the discharge with or without the erection of penis. Later on, touching a woman, the sight of a woman or lascivious thoughts cause discharge; straining at stool does it and so on. It is due to masturbation, excessive horse- riding, tree-climbing, worms, urethritis, injury to head or spine, indigestion, etc.
