Dr. Marsha Davis answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

A man of puberty : Who is now making a certain amount of testosterone starts to make sperm every day. His body can only store so much before it must be released either by sex or masturbation or if not the body will do it by itself during sleep in what is called a wet dream.
