Why do I sometimes naturally leak semen?

Patient's question:

Patient Gender: I'm 20 years old. Why do I sometimes naturally leak semen, or even when I'm on the phone with my girlfriend, I might leak semen? My girlfriend and I haven't had sexual intercourse yet. Is this a disease?

Doctor's answer:

Ejaculation without sexual intercourse refers to the emission of semen during non-sexual activities. It is a common normal physiological phenomenon among adolescents, with approximately 80% of unmarried young people experiencing this phenomenon. Ejaculation that occurs during sleep while dreaming is called nocturnal emission; ejaculation that occurs while awake is referred to as involuntary ejaculation. The frequency of ejaculation varies greatly. In normal unmarried men, monthly ejaculation can range from 2 to 8 times, which is considered normal. During regular sexual activity, frequent ejaculation or an increase in the frequency of ejaculation (such as several times a week or several times a night), or the occurrence of ejaculation or involuntary ejaculation merely upon having sexual thoughts, is often indicative of a pathological condition. The causes include:
First, a lack of correct sexual knowledge, excessive focus on sexual matters, frequent sexual arousal, or long-term habits of masturbation;
Second, irritation from local lesions of the reproductive organs (such as phimosis, excessive prepuce, urethral inflammation, prostatitis, etc.).
