Is watching porn the culprit behind nocturnal emissions?

Patient's question:

First, I want to prove that I am not a sexual patient. Before taking a nap this afternoon, I saw many adult video clips. At the time, I didn't care, and I didn't watch them for long before they locked. However, when I was about to go to bed in the evening, I actually had an ejaculation. Before ejaculation, I had a dream, but the content of the dream had nothing to do with "sex," and I still ejaculated before waking up. I want to ask the doctor, was this because I watched those things before taking a nap? I don't usually have sex, and I don't often watch such videos. I know that nocturnal emissions are normal, but both of these occurred on the same day—was it just a coincidence?

Doctor's answer:

This is related to watching those videos. Ejaculation during sleep is a normal phenomenon during adolescence and has nothing to do with sexual intercourse. To prevent this situation, it is mainly important not to watch such pornographic images and videos to avoid sexual arousal, and to exercise appropriately to enhance physical fitness. For those who experience nocturnal emissions, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of episodes. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
