Sorry, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus, but women can have wet dreams or, more specifically, nocturnal orgasms-and that may be better than finding a new cashmere sweater under your tree.

Alfred Kinsey, the famous sex researcher, found that nocturnal orgasms were reported by 90 percent of the men, but by less than 40 percent of the women in his studies. So common are male wet dreams that the Bible has several references to male nocturnal emissions. It doesn’t however, specifically address female nocturnal orgasms. Now we don’t want to create a biblical argument on the topic, so we will leave it for you to interpret.

If there be among you any man, that is no clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp.
—Deuteronomy 23:10

And if a man has an emission of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water, and be unclean until the evening. And every garment and every skin on which the semen comes shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening. If a man lies with a woman and has an emission of semen, both of them shall bathe themselves in water and be unclean until the evening.
—Leviticus 15:16-18

Amen.
