Edging superstition

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Would love to talk more about it. Snap is Jaeth125 & Telegram is @BJ1250

 

Probably for most people edging is a relapse. Different parts of the PMO experience can have differing levels of addictive grip for each person, but feeling aroused is a big part usually. Edging is a way to feel aroused for much longer periods which probably only tightens the addictive grip.

The idea behind nofap is to give your body time away from the addictive activities until it can heal from the damage which might be brain imbalances, psychological habits, etc. (?)

 

Agreed. Edging is far more damaging than looking at porn briefly, jerking off and ejaculating than edging for long periods of time. Many do this for hours on end.

 

Edging is probably worse than just getting the relapse over with. Maybe that's a little controversial but I believe it. Of course it depends on what constitutes edging for you - if you're literally already masturbating and just don't orgasm, then you've already relapsed, and not letting yourself ejaculate will just irritate your sexual organs. NoFap is best approached from a completely binary perspective in my opinion - PMO is a reset/relapse, no PMO is not.

 

I recommend against this, the studies on the damaging effect of just watching porn are very light, personally although i don't recommend it i don't believe it is such a big deal, sex is literally more taxing to your body than lamely watching some pixels on screen. PMO on the other hand has objectively damaging effect easily seen in hormone imbalance (it take 2 weeks for the brain to recover after an orgasm), i think the worst thing with edging is overstraining your pelvic floor but i would consider that a relapse like any other kind of M.

 

'Edging involves cycles of sexual stimulation to the point, or edge, of orgasm before stopping and starting again.'

Uh, all i know is that if i have my jammy and a phone in my hand, I'm not getting anything done.

 

That explains why so many people act like knuckledraggers. Takes one to know one, though lol. Good info.

 

for me edging could be anything bc im able manage myself almost exclusively at the point when i know i have to choose for relapse or freedom. Most of the time its an involuntary situation when i slipped on something completely normal or when the overthinking comes up.
