You see, I've never actually found any of that to be true, but maybe it is just me. Id hate to think so, given how long I’ve been exercising my abilities, but it is possible I suppose. But even still, doesn't it seem a bit peculiar that you were able to have "real" orgasms, but without the subsequent mess? I mean, when does that ever happen otherwise?
Not to challenge your testimony or anything, but aside from my own personal experiences being inconsistent with much of what you have just said, there just seems to be too many other non-subjectiveinconsistencies about much of what is commonly believed about lucid sex.
However, keep in mind that simply because my experiences don't parallel your own doesn’t mean I’m not saying it isn't possible.
All I'm saying is that it's common for people to get carried away with theories about what's possible in lucid dreams because its easy misinterpret what exactly "you can do whatever you can imagine!" actually means. Though a true statement, we still can only do what are imaginations are physically and mentally capable of doing, which brings certain claims under question.
To be frank, I have reasonable doubts about the waking-imagination's ability to conjure up orgasms, a very physical and involuntary phenomenon mind you, much less the waking-imaginations ability to do so multiple times (or for an extended period of time) without waking up...
I see you mention nocturnal emissions as a defense for your argument, and on the surface it makes perfect sense. After all, it's not a far leap to think "hey, if the subconscious mind is able to produce a wet dream, and to do so without waking someone up, then it must too be possible in a lucid dream...given a sufficient level of skill."
Stated as such, that sounds very reasonable to me indeed. But there are fundamental differences between nocturnal emissions and the ever popular claims of extraordinary sex while in a lucid dream. First and foremost, an orgasm (as in the pleasurable sensations) is not necessary for emissions. This phenomenon takes the form of premature ejaculation, and often happens in wet dreams as well. This, of course, makes the implied deduction "if emissions, then orgasm (sensations)" an invalid one.
Moving on, nocturnal emissions don't happen unless fluids are sufficiently pent up, meaning that a sex-dream by itself isn't enough to cause an individual to ejaculate while asleep, which in itself isn’t necessarily the result of an orgasm to begin with.
Finally, legitimate orgasms are very much a physical and involuntary phenomenon, as they are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Aside from rare cases, it takes some sort of tactile stimulation to have an orgasm. And short of a physical inability, the use of disciplined sexual techniques, or having recently emptied one's "reserves", an orgasm in males produces ejaculate, something which is oddly reported as being M.I.A. almost unanimously in lucid dreamers experiencing sexual dreams.
These facts don't disprove anything, but they do call such claims under question. Voluntary multiple, extended, and/or otherwise super-sensual orgasms...without ejaculation or waking up, especially considering the delicacy of lucid dreams and the supposed quality of sex...
It all sounds a little far-fetched to me. Not impossible, mind you, just hard to believe sometimes. And it doesn’t help my bias when after 7 years of practice and hundreds of lucid dreams (the majority of which involving sex at some point), it hasn't happened to me even one time. After all, I'm no stranger to dream control or prolonging lucid dreams…specifically when it comes to lucid sex.
Then again, tactile hallucinations are fair game in a lucid dream. I just don’t see how someone can have mind-blowing orgasms, yet remain composed enough to stay dreaming. That’s the biggest problem I see. It’s not necessarily being able to create sensations as good as (or better than) real sex that I find hard to believe, it’s surviving the orgasm. I have my doubts to say the least.
