Thread: Masturbation/Sex: Effects on Recall, Vividity & Lucidity

This should be fun.
Sex: Male
Age: 16
Average number of hours of sleep per night: Averaging 4 ~ 8
Approx. usual frequency of sex/masturbation: Um.. couple per day...
Approx. number of dreams usuall recalled per night or per week: Averaging 1 per night
Approx. usual frequency of lucid dreams: Have had 2 since I started trying about 2 months ago.
Description of the usual vividity of your dreams: Bit less than reality.

i'm definitely in on trying to abstain, so here is my sheet o' peipa:


Sex: Male
Age: 17
Average number of hours of sleep per night: 6-8
Approx. usual frequency of sex/masturbation: 1-2 per day
Approx. number of dreams usually recalled per night or per week: 4 per night
Approx. usual frequency of lucid dreams: some 10 or so in 2 months
Description of the usual vividity of your dreams: extremely real, even more real than reality

so, these are my results for the first week: (note that brackets show individual dreams)

sexual behaviour: abstaining from sexual activity
day 1: R2 (V1,L0) (V1, L0) (V1, L1) (V1, L0)
day 2: R2 (V1,L0) (V1, L0) (V1, L0)
day 3: R1 (V1,L0) (V1, L0)
day 4: R1 (V1,L0) (V1, L1) (V1, L0) (V1, L0) (V1,L0)
day 5: R2 (V1,L1) (V1, L1) (V1, L0) (V1, L0) (V1,L0) /first dream of sex in at least 3 months
day 6: R2 (V1,L0) (V1, L0) (V1, L0)
day 7: R0

second week
day 1: R1 (V1,L0) (V1, L0) (V1, L0)
day 2: R2 (V1,L0) (V1, L0) dreamt of a new reality tv show about sex
day 3: R0
day 4: R1 (V1,L0) (V1, L0) (V1, L0)
day 5: R2 (V1,L0) (V1, L1) (V1, L0) (V1, L0) (V1,L0)
day 6: R2 (V1,L0) (V1, L0) (V1, L1) (V1, L0)
day 7: R2 (V1,L0) (V1, L0) (V1, L1)

on the first week i got 3 lucid, on the second 2, but it does seem that the sex theme is starting to come into my dreams again, albeit slowly.

This looks like my kind of topic

Sex: Male
Age: 20
Average number of hours of sleep per night: 8-10
Approx. usual frequency of sex/masturbation: ~5x week
Approx. number of dreams usually recalled per night or per week: 4-6
Approx. usual frequency of lucid dreams: Just started LD again but have had 2-3 but they immediately ended when I became lucid.
Description of the usual vividity of your dreams: like waking life I guess ;o)

My dream recall usually stays the same no matter how much I abstain or indulge myself (oh ya! ). When I sleep 10-12 hours I can usually recall 8-10 dreams. When I abstain from masturbation/sex my dreams usually just become more sexual in nature.

I have read about a theory where if you masturbate you release vital energy but something you can do during coming is to redirect the energy up your spine and into your chakras that way you wont lose as much of the vital energy (theoretically ofcourse).

I've been thinking.. If someone is masturbating/sexing 7x a week then wouldn't it make sense that their energy or whatever you want to call it would replenish faster then for example someone doing it 1x a week because your body gets accustomed to X and Y. Maybe it works the same way on the energetic level, who knows? I don't tend to fuss about it that much, I mean if you are really worrying about it affecting your LDs and you are doing it then probably you just worrying about it has some negative effect.

Enjoy sex and masturabation!

My 2 cents =o)

I would sign up, yet I'm on some meds (Celexa/ Welbutrin) that prevent me from having an orgasm for about 3 hours (Good or bad, i don't know, cetainly fustrateing). Hmm I do ffind i relax much more when I beat my man meat. Perhaps this will allow you to focus more. Or MAYBE if you hold back you will dream of sex, thus making you lucid. Either way...

Happy dick spurts,

Sorry I can't help in this

Maybe I will conduct a related experiment of my own

I'll be doing:
C) For a week, abstain from sex or masturbation.

Sex: Male
Age: 15
Average number of hours of sleep per night: 7 to 9, a bit more on weekends
Approx. usual frequency of sex/masturbation: 5-ish times a week
Approx. number of dreams usually recalled per night or per week: I will usually recall one dream, apon waking up in the morning. On weekends I recall more, since I usually go back to sleep and recall the next dream.
Approx. usual frequency of lucid dreams: Once a week, just since Wed. March 18th, when I first started to delve into lucid dreaming. They both happened during a WBTB.
Description of the usual vividity of your dreams: They have been varied in range recently, I have no real comparison because before I started keeping a journal I would not have any real recall of dreams, unless they were particularly amazing or scary. But since the wednesday I started... I would say like real life, but many of them are fragmented apon waking, and I have to sort of piece them together as I write them down.

[Edit] Before I start, I have a question, am I allowed to consciously attempt reaching lucidity? Like using an induction technique such as WBTB and such?
