    Or no? Anyone here know?
     
  2. Precum from doing nothing or from edging?

    Precum from edging briefly. Does it really equal a full relapse?
     
  4. It depends.
    If you don't want to ejaculate, yes.
    If you don't want to orgasm, no.
    If you don't want to masturbate, yes, but not because of the precum, but because of the edging.

    What are supposedly the differences between an ejaculation and an orgasm? I’m not aware (and I kinda feel somewhat stupid asking this).
     
  6. Not stupid. As it usually happens at the same time (for men). But it needs not.
    I'd rather say, an ejaculation is the result of an orgasm.

    But what I wrote was more about what you are aiming for. I think it's a difference if you don't want to ejaculate (like the people who do seen retention), or if you want to be sexually abstinent (and set your goal to not masturbate or to not have orgasms).

    I consider edging to be masturbation. I've never noticed ill effects from precum from doing nothing, but edging does mess up your brain by elevating dopamine levels. Edging can be worse than quickly finishing, depending how long you edge for.

    If you're on hard mode, I'd consider edging to be grounds for a counter reset, but that's not a good reason to indulge any more! I keep separate counters; check my signature for ideas.

  8. I agree. Not to masturbate means not to do anything with your penis that can lead to an orgasm.
