Question

When you have a wet dream and the semen gets on your clothes and u put that piece of cloth in the washing machine for a wash and after the wash has finished, some semen traces are still on the cloth. Do i the wash the whole load again or just that cloth?

Answer

This depends on how the clothes were washed and what type of machine was used.

In principle, if after the clothes have been washed, there still remains traces of semen in such a way that it could very easily be removed by another wash then it must be washed since this proves that the first wash was not effectice. This will apply to all the clothes in the load. Once you are satisfied and convinced that the clothes are clean and pure, then this is sufficient.

What should I do after a wet dream?

“A wet dream is an erotic dream that causes involuntary ejaculation of semen. A dream where one is seen masturbating is not necessarily a wet dream, even though one finds some degree of excitement on awakening.”
