    Maybe it's a flat line period. I think the energy will be sporadic with alot of ups and downs. It's your mind forming new neurological pathways. I say keep fighting on.

  3. How long have you been abstaining?
     
  4. I will speak from my experience as a teenager. If you don't masturbate, but think of sex or watch porn, your urges will increase to the point where you feel pain and have to have orgasm in order to release the pressure. The same thing will happen if you edge. Pain is a warning that something is wrong. In my opinion, the moment when you start to feel pain is the moment when you have to masturbate, but don't masturbate sooner than this moment. However, even if you masturbate more rarely, it's still the same addiction, because you keep cultivating sexual thoughts and watching porn. So there is basically no improvement. What you should do is completely stop thinking of sex and watching porn. Never check out women when you're out. Never look at porn substitutes (like facebook accounts, fashion sites, etc). Ban all your sexual thoughts from your mind. I know it's tough and may even sound absurd. Instead, go out, interact with friends and girls, get a hobby. You will notice that sexual tension will build up much slower and it will be released by nocturnal emissions or wet dreams. You are allowed to masturbate only if your mind and body are completely clean of any sexual thoughts and actions, but the pressure builds up and there is no other way to get rid of the discomfort. In your case, sport would help you a lot.

    On the other hand, you may have a girlfriend and you make out with her, but don't have sex with her or you simply don't have the possibility to ejaculate and release tension when you two are together. In this case you should clearly take up a sport. Also, you are allowed to masturbate, but only when you feel discomfort.
