If you’ve ever had a particularly STEAMY dream, you might have woken up thinking, “was that a REAL O?” Well, over at HuffPo, they asked the experts – is it possible to orgasm in your sleep?

“Although we experience the physical effects of having an orgasm in our body, orgasm is actually a process that happens in the brain,” Vanessa Marin, a sex therapist and creator of Finishing School, an online orgasm course for women, told HuffPost. “We don’t need any physical stimulation for it to happen.”

Well that’s good to know! So… let’s just say we’re interested in having one of these dreamland explosions… can we do anything to improve our chances?

Unfortunately, you can’t do anything that will coax your brain into giving you a guaranteed sleep orgasm — as wonderful as that would be. That said, we asked our experts to share some tips, and they did — with the caveat that these suggestions are not research-based. (But hey, they’re worth a try.)

• Sleep on your stomach— or any position “that puts some pressure on your external genitals,” Mintz said.
• Think about, watch or read something sexy before bed. “You could always try to get yourself aroused during the day and before bed, since we tend to work out things in our sleep that we were dealing with during the day,” Marin said.
• Aim to have more orgasms in your waking life. “While this seems counterintuitive ? i.e., you’d be ‘orgasmed out’ by bedtime ? we know that the more sex women have, the more they want,” Mintz said.

So grab yourself a stomach-sleepers pillow and break out the erotica instead of Rick and Morty reruns before bed… and cross your fingers for an rated-X dreams with a big finish!
