Okay, I might have a different idea of what edging is, but I thought it was the stimulation of the penis without intention of allowing release. I read several reports on here that say people edge but then don't count it as masturbation. I would have thought 'edging' would come under masturbation? P = Porn M = Masturbation O = Orgasm Therefore, as the masturbation precedes the organism, it must be the stimulation of erogenous areas (principally the genitals)...whether or not it leads to orgasm/ejaculation. I just want to hear some peoples' opinions on this as I don't want doubts in my head when I next have an unexpected erection.
I would say edging is playing games with the technicality of the system and turning it into a game rather than being sincere and honest.
"Some men attempting the rebooting process believe that as long as they avoid ejaculation, they are successfully rebooting. This twisted logic leads them to endorse an unhelpful practice common to Internet porn users, called edging. This is masturbating up to the edge of orgasm, then stopping to cool things down, then revving up again." https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/what-if-i-use-porn-without-orgasm
hey man you will edge at first, its hard to go cold turkey, but after a time , you will notice the effects edging has on you, just as bad as having just ejaculation. its not a good feeling. but this is not a speed race, though the less you edge, the less you have to reset your counter, the faster you get better. it just slows you down if you edge, or you never get healed at all, because your brain still gets the excitement like a O
Edging IS masturbation, it's just not ejeculating (although often it leads to that, even by accident) I've done streaks before and i've "edged" and you are BS'ing yourself if you are doing that. The whole cycle of PMO is about a lot more than the O, and if you are edging, you are P and M'ing. And trust me when i say many a "streak" has been lost in this way, one time I edged for like 2 hours to some hardcore stuff when i was over day 50 on a streak i rationalized that "as long as i don't o it'll be ok", i edged myself into oblivion and then boom, orgasm. I'm not saying if you wake up with morning wood and scratch it you are edging, i'm talking about sitting there masturbating until just before orgasm and then stopping. if you are doing that, you are not doing nofap. It's as simple as that.
Edging is worse than masturbation. Your dopamine levels are always high during edging and purpose of noFap is to repair your dopamine receptors. If you edge you'll never repair them.
What do guys define as edging? I've found myself rubbing my balls, or touch the tip of my cock and noticing some pre cum (sometimes if I'm really hard and excited I'll have pre cum without any touching involved), but still been very far from O.
