Vinamra (name changed on request), has recently completed his Class 10 examinations. While all his friends are having a relaxed, fun-filled summer, Vinamra is deeply distressed.

He's worried about regular nightfalls (the occurrence of spontaneous orgasm and ejaculation usually during sleep) during his sleep that he's been experiencing for the last few months.
