The tag alias #57500 nocturnal_emission -> wet_dream has been approved.

Reason: wet dream is the commonly used tag for having an orgasm while asleep, and as such it should be aliased

EDIT: The tag alias nocturnal_emission -> wet_dream (forum #333731) has been approved by @bitWolfy.

Can wet_dream be used to describe when a character has a sexual dream without having an orgasm during their sleep? Occasionally these get tagged as wet_dream too, despite not being nocturnal emissions.
Example: post #2844469

• If the above example DOES qualify for wet_dream, then wet_dream is technically a bit more broad than "nocturnal emissions", raising a question of whether we want to lose this potential distinction with the alias.

• If the above example DOES NOT qualify for wet_dream, then this alias certainly good.

Either way, I suggest we create a seperate erotic_dream tag for dreams with sexual themes, regardless of whether they cause an orgasm.

I'd say no. The term is for when you ejaculate/get wet from the dream, not simply have a sexy dream.

+1. No orgasm = mistagged.

isn't... nocturnal emissions the... less slangy term of wet dream? aka, they literally mean the same thing, aka, the definition of an alias.
