Erections & Nocturnal Emissions (AKA Boners & Wet Dreams)

Erections and nocturnal emissions – AKA boners and wet dreams – are big pieces of puberty that often go unmentioned unless they’re punchlines in a joke. Which is a big conversational miss, because these topics can cause unnecessary confusion, shame, worry, or awkwardness. In this episode, we break down the science behind boners and wet dreams (and yes, we use the language that kids use) and then bring in a special guest to offer practical ways to help males manage these unexpected and uncontrollable experiences in puberty.   Note: Listen first on your own to make sure you’re comfy with our language, but we think this is a great episode to listen to with your kids!   Visit OOMLA to shop thoughtfully designed (OOM)Bras!   Produced by Dear Media Learn more about your ad choices.
