| factors | Description | 
|---|---|
| hormone levels | During adolescence, testosterone levels increase and sexual desire increases, which can easily lead to erotic dreams and nocturnal emissions. | 
| brain activity | During the REM sleep period (rapid eye movement period), the brain is active and sexual dreams occur frequently, which may trigger reflex nocturnal emissions. | 
| physiological regulation | When semen is not released for a long time, the body maintains the function of the reproductive system through spermatorrhea. |
