    In the daily life of many men, frequent nocturnal emission is the most normal thing. Many men may sometimes talk about frequent nocturnal emissions in casual chats with relatives and friends, but most people think it is a common thing. However, the vast majority of teenagers feel ashamed or even guilty when they have frequent nocturnal emissions for the first time, but in fact this is not the case. So, how old will frequent nocturnal emissions last?

    Generally speaking, the age of twelve is the starting point for men to have frequent nocturnal emissions. Most men will experience frequent nocturnal emissions for the first time after the age of twelve, and it is very rare for men to have frequent nocturnal emissions for the first time before the age of twelve. Generally, the incidence of frequent nocturnal emissions begins when a man is twelve years old and continues to increase with age. In other words, the incidence of frequent nocturnal emissions in a twenty-year-old man is much higher than the incidence of frequent nocturnal emissions in a twelve-year-old man.

    It is not certain how old men will experience frequent nocturnal emissions. There are many factors that can affect this change. The most common influencing factors are:

    Personal essence: Everyone's physique is different. Some people have good health and rarely get sick. Some people have weak bodies and are prone to illness. In addition, frequent nocturnal emissions are not something everyone can perform regularly and frequently, so this is a factor.

    Effects after marriage: The incidence (frequency) of frequent nocturnal emissions in men after marriage will be greatly reduced. Frequent nocturnal emissions are caused by the male testicles producing male sperm every day. The sperm is stored in the seminal vesicles and other locations. The storage volume is always limited. When the storage limit is exceeded, unnecessary sperm will be discharged automatically, that is, frequent nocturnal emissions. As for men who have a regular sexual life after marriage, the sperm in the seminal vesicles will not be full at night, so the frequency of frequent nocturnal emissions will be greatly reduced. The age of marriage is different for every man, so this is an influencing factor.

    Frequent nocturnal emission is a common phenomenon, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it. It is very normal to occur regularly before the age of 12 to 20, and the frequency will gradually decrease after a man gets married. However, if the frequency of nocturnal emissions is too frequent, it means that there may be a problem, and you should see a doctor for a physical examination as soon as possible.
