anonymous text | in a strange young world

Question: if you're having really vivid dreams that leave you waking up... messy, what are they and how do you make them stop?

[ when you skipped past puberty, don't know what to call a wet dream, and have no internet searching skills... you make the mistake of asking the internet. but seriously. how do you make them stop?! at least give him a term to research, please! ]

[ Leave it to Belle Epoch!dad to give you all the advice without actually saying anything vulgar. ]

It's different for everyone. Certain factors can affect the likeliness of their occurrence, for instance.

Did you see anything that excited you, the day before the dream?

[ Which is great! Truly, it is! There's only one problem, and that's immediately apparent: ]

Excited me? Like, something exciting that happened? Not really, it was a pretty normal day.

[ He doesn't understand euphemistically what he meant. ]

[ Wow, this is a very young anonymous poster, isn't it. Poor St. Germain has no clue. ]

Not quite like that.
I imagine you realize where the mess originates, yes?

Have you noticed any strange feelings there, at any other time?

[ He's staring at this just like... what kind of strange feelings are you talking about?! ]

I know the source of it, but not the source of it. Those dreams aren't even... they don't even make sense!

[ At least if it was focussed on people he could make more sense of it, but he's instead stuck with abstract horny dreams. Thanks, Iris. ]

Like, burning with urination strange, or... you're making it sound like a possession or medical condition when you put it like this.

[ Oh, Iris... that's definitely rough. ]

My apologies, I'm trying not to be be crass but instead it's making me quite vague.

For most of us, there are certain things that excite us, sexually. Whether it be the person we fancy, or certain acts one finds enjoyable... these usually tend to be the subject of the dreams as well.

Wait, so those dreams are supposed to make sense?! Mine have all been colours! Or landscapes or things that make no sense at all! I get what you mean now [ AT LAST, for all now he's struggling to fit that to his general view on the world ] but there hasn't been anything like that. Nothing I've directly noticed. Wouldn't it be obvious?

[ St. Germain has had to help fresh vampires but even he doesn't know how to give The Talk. ]

They often do. But it follows that they would be more abstract if you haven't experienced anything sexual outside of them before.

It is simply a part of growing older, at least for most humans. You could fight them or try things like hypnotism to avoid dreaming at all, but now that they've started for you there's really no going back. You're an adult now.

[ Is it better or worse that he really just needs it plainly put to him that he now has to deal with these things he's always kind of known about being out there, but never in a personal sense? Because he's finding it a hassle! ]

Of course I haven't, it's not exactly high up on my lists of things to do.

[ And usually he's stuck in his thirteen year old body, so it's not a concern on any level. Ugh! He finally gets to be properly eighteen in all ways, and then it turns out... there were things he'd never thought about but now has to live with?

... Okay, that might be many things in life, but it's still frustrating. ]

I was an adult before! There were just circumstances about certain things and, ugh!

[ Finally St. Germain is getting a taste of what it's like to be a real dad. ]

I understand. Matters of the flesh are a luxury many cannot afford to spend time on.

[ He knows that not everybody throws wild parties like nobles do. ]

It will get easier with time. That is likely the only consolation I can give.
Others may tease you for your inexperience, but rest assured, they likely experienced the same thing you have, so don't take them too seriously.

[ He's not doing bad, finally-a-real-dad-moment St. Germain, particularly with that last bit. Shino's not generally easy to shake in confidence, at least not in things he doesn't find important to his heart... but this is all new and weird enough without the people who'd be his normal support network that even being anonymous and told "if people are being dumb, remember they had to deal with the same thing" is reassuring.

(The deeper reasoning is just how it's nice to feel obviously normal in a way that's not contestably human. All human guys seem to have to deal with this. Shino's now having to deal with this. So he's still pretty human, right? Just like he's always saying. Even if this is a really annoying way of proving it to himself yet again.) ]

I don't know why I'd take them seriously at all... but everyone's saying it gets easier with time. How much time are we talking? Weeks, months, years, decades? Please tell me it's not decades.

[ Aw, Shino. Even vampires go through puberty in St. Germain's world, so at least you're in good company. ]

Yes, some people are like that. They see someone struggling and they can't help but make it worse. It's a sign of insecurity. I've seen it many times before.

[ He also lives in a house surrounded by eccentric geniuses so he knows all the otome types. ]

It varies from person to person, but it should only take a few years. Of course, our circumstances in this world are far from normal, so it could certainly be less. Though hopefully not more.

[ There's no escape, is what he's hearing... ]

People really need better things to do with their time, seriously.

[ He has too much knowledge, he's too strong...! ]

Less would be nice. Less would be great! I know it's not the end of the world but it's annoying, and ugh! I don't like waking up gross!

[ That's pretty much it, yeah. ]

Agreed. Just remember that if you find others are being difficult.

[ Life lessons with le Comte!! ]

With any luck, they will become less frequent. No doubt the moons can have an effect on them as well, so you may be able to take certain precautions in the future.

Okay, but is the numb arm thing really real?

[ He's definitely asking you if what Hisoka said about "the stranger" where you numb your arm to use it for self pleasure is really a thing, because. Okay, one other person here said yes, but how is that a thing?! ]

What do you mean about the moons having an effect?

The numb arm thing? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that.

[ Sorry, kid..... ]

Well, when one is under the influence of the moon, one can experience a fair degree of changes, include an increase in one's sexual appetite. It stands to reason that they could increase the intensity of your dreams as well.

It's this weird thing someone's talking about in another exchange here, about making your arm numb before you make a mess?

[ Really... not helping... ]

Wait, so this could be influenced by the moons, too? Maybe even outright caused by them?

That's such a relief!

You arm really has nothing to do with it. Dreams are involuntary. If you masturbated enough to numb your arm, you'd probably become sore in other places far sooner than that.

[ That's just logic, son. ]

It's possible. They seem to affect everyone differently.

Okay that's horrifying to read but also, obvious, and I hope to whatever isn't what they meant either.

Yeah, I just thought that was for the weird animal stuff though. Are there other things going on?
