What is a sleep orgasm?
Is it even possible to get an orgasm while sleeping? A US research team from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University Bloomington attempted to provide answers to these questions with a recent study.

Fast falling asleep after orgasm probably know most men, at least, the widespread prejudice. But is there also the possibility of experiencing an orgasm while we sleep? The US scientists have now found that people can get an orgasm while sleeping. This and other interesting facts were published in the "Kinsey Report".

Seventy percent of all women have had an orgasm while sleeping
According to the researchers, there are orgasms during sleep and almost every person has already experienced such a sleep orgasm. It is even thought that "about 70 percent of women wake up by orgasm at least once in their lives". This data was determined by the American researchers from the "Kinsey Institute for Research on Sex, Gender, and Reproduction" in a recent study. This investigation was about "exploring nocturnal sex dreams and orgasms".

The scientists suggest that, for example, "two-thirds of the women surveyed talked openly about their sexual dreams." However, the phenomenon of experiencing orgasm while asleep is even more common in men. Almost one-hundred percent of the participating men in the study reported that they had ever woken up through an orgasm in their sleep, according to the American medical profession. By the age of 45, about 37 percent of participating women and 83 percent of men surveyed had experienced at least one orgasm while sleeping.

Is it also possible to specifically get an orgasm during sleep? And if so, how do we best achieve this condition? The answer seems very simple: "Dedicate yourself to erotic thoughts just before falling asleep". The American scientists said that "nocturnal orgasms during sleep have nothing to do with genital stimulation, but probably the orgasms are triggered solely by our brains," the researchers added.

Orgasm at birth?
Not only can orgasms occur during sleep, but there are other unusual situations where people inadvertently experience orgasm. For example, mothers have already reported orgasms at the birth of their child, which, given the concomitant pain, seems almost incomprehensible to other women. But here, too, the processes in the brain probably play a decisive role. (As)
