While our dream expert is busy analyzing your sex dreams, we thought we'd be a little forward and find out just how many of you are having sex dreams that are, uh, productive. According to the U.K. Guardian's psychotherapist, "It's perfectly normal for women to have orgasms during sleep or on awakening." We're not quite sure how you would know that the former happened, unless you're a sleep-female-ejaculator, which would be incredibly impressive; though (of course, we should note) perfectly normal too!

Kinsey reckoned that 65% of women had sex dreams, and that 20% of this group actually climaxed during their dreams. Also, getting off in your dreams isn't necessarily a sign that you're not getting enough in the daylight hours (though quite a few gentlemen of our acquaintance would beg to differ).

So, do tell...ladies, do you ever have wet dreams? And if so, does it happen during times when you're more or less sexually active while awake? Gentlemen, how about you? Are wet dreams a thing of your junior high past? And everyone: Don't forget to keep sending us your sex dreams for our dream expert to analyze: [email protected]. Sweet (or dirty) dreams!

So, I know I'm not a woman... but, I didn't have a wet dream until this year (I'm 25). Almost every dream I have ever had has some sexual element to it, so I'd say it's a pretty impressive feat.

Also, at some point in my youth I came across a study that showed that women masturbate in their sleep. This isn't surprising in the least, everyone masturbates, and there isn't any reason they wouldn't do it while sleeping. Nonetheless it is always nice to point out to the woman that "doesn't" masturbate, that indeed she does.

Well, Ellen Page did recently say in an interview about making Juno: "I got to be in a sex scene with Michael Cera. I think that’s every girl's dream." And we don't think she was being facetious. If she was, she's a horrible person--and if she wasn't, we love her for it!

Type the characters you see in the picture above.

In one sense, revenge sex—when you sleep with your ex's nemesis, roommate, sibling, parent, or pet in order to pay them back for dumping you--totally works: how could your ex not be grossed out / horrified / disillusioned / damaged for life? But unless your ex is a few peas short of a casserole, your cunning plan is sure to backfire, because they'll know exactly why you slept with their paste-eating dork of a sibling, and the most overwhelming emotion they will feel is deep, abiding pity for you.
