Jun 15, 2007 |
Women now have considerably more sexual dreams if compared to the past 40 years. This can be due to the fact that women become more comfortable reporting the fact of sexual dream or due to the unknown leap in the frequency of sexual dreams.
The latest research was conducted by Universite de Montreal that was studying more than 3,500 home dreams of men and women. The results showed that both men and women dream about sex about 8 percent of time, but the figure for women is much higher if compared to 40 years ago period. The researches suppose that women became more open-minded and report about their sex dreams more often.
In spite of the fact that women dream of sex just as often as men, the content of these dreams is different. The most common sex dreams involved sexual intercourse, masturbation, kissing and other sexually explicit content. Many women and mean said they achieved an orgasm during dreaming. Women unlike men also reported orgasm experienced by another dream person in 4 percent of cases.
The most common character in women's sex dreams were public figures, ex-lovers and current partners. Men dream less of the present or ex lovers, but more of multiple partners, the study says.
The findings of the research can help the researchers understand the peculiarities of male and female sexuality and sexual need. Antonio Zadra, PhD, of the Universite de Montreal, said that results may prove the hypothesis that dreams reflect our daily thoughts and concerns. Differences in sexual dreams content indicate the same differences in men's and women's desires and experiences.
The study will be presented at at SLEEP 2007, the 21st annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS).
