Nocturnal emissions can have multiple causes. First, they may result from external stimulation—for example, wearing underwear that is too tight or undergarments made of overly coarse fabric; such friction can trigger the aforementioned symptoms. Second, prolonged abstinence combined with recent mental stress may also lead to nocturnal emissions. Additionally, viewing pornographic images or reading erotic literature before bedtime may cause nocturnal emissions due to psychological stimulation.
