Is edging bad of your body?

I don't think it is. You will still blow your load but it will go into your kidneys or [ someplace] and get pissed out. You end up with dry or orgasms with minute amounts of cum, but like I mentioned it goes in your kidneys [ not exactly sure where] and you piss it out. That can't be healthy and if it becomes permanent that is a major physical malfunction.

 

Hey man, I realize this is an old post but just stumbled into it looking for something else and thought it was interesting.

I think what you mean here is the practice of stimulating your junk either without the intent to orgasm or stopping before orgasm (possibly multiple times). In these cases, it's about stopping the stimulation before masturbation (or sex) reaches the point of going into the ejaculation process. (This leaves you on the edge.) You can masturbate without cumming and you can cum without masturbation (the later are wet dreams or spontaneous ejaculations, etc.)

Edging does not cause the semen to go into another part of your body, you just don't ejaculate/cum.

There is no physical harm in edging. The idea of stimulation without intent to cum -- either alone or with another person -- is a Tantric practice. Some people practice this like NoFap, but with more rituals around it and some practitioners believe it leads to super-powers. Very much like NoFap.

Trigger alert -- the following contains sexual language...

Edging can also be used to delay ejaculation. Like Tantric sex, this can be practiced alone or with a partner, but the idea here is to delay orgasm, sometimes many times, stopping just short of ejaculation. This often leads to more intense orgasms.

In either case, it's likely that pre-cum is generated and/or small amounts of seminal fluid released. Neither approach harms your cock. Although, I suppose if you edged for 3-4 or more hours you might run some risk of physical damage.

I'm just starting my journey, but it occurs to me that neither of these approaches would be helpful to those rebooting. At least not within the parameters I've established for myself. But I think this is something I may revisit for myself after I reach my 30 or 90 day reboot milestone. Long term, I want to shed porn from my life. But after I reboot I'll allow myself to masturbate. A Tantric approach might have some value for me at that time. Seems like it might be a good way to get back in harmony with my body.

 

I would say that edging is one of the worst things you can do. A 12 hour+ fap session is a major set back and does all kinds of damage to your mind. Yes, you do still ejaculate it just goes into your kidneys and gets pissed out. Also, the pipes do get clogged from edging and eventually nothing will come out when you cum it will go the other way and you will piss it out.

It sure is bad for you and your body.

I'm not a doctor, but edging could possibly cause future fertility/sperm problems

 

I don’t

 

Even I wondered about this and the benefits of edging to increase stamina and last longer. I stumbled upon a book called Taoists secrets of Love by Mantak chia which kinda tells the same thing (edging) but in different words. However on Nofap a lot of people said that edging is bad for your brain as well as your P=@$*. I did try the techniques given in that book and let me tell you, it will literally RUIN YOUR REBOOT. It ruined my 70 day streak and then it became difficult to get back on a streak.
Again I am not sure if the book is correct or not but its better if you do all that after your reboot.

 

Stay away from edging and the like. It's a great way to set up a relapse. You're better off improving your skills with your partner, it'll feel much better and healthier.

 

Mantak Chia has a lot of good information to share; however, some of the tantric techniques he teaches can be misapplied and cause serious damage (physical and emotional).

 

Yes and no.

Yes its bad when you do it yourself at peak point. You are literally turning on the dopamine hose in your brain. When has an "edging" session for hours ever lead to productive.

And no when it applying to sex. When "Edging" happens during sex, you are training your brain in a different way. In that way, you might actually energise yourself

 

Penis isn't a bad word, no need to censor.

This is interesting, because I read Mantak Chia, and according to him edging can be good, if you are focusing on the sensations in your body. This is just one source though.

This is where I am at an impasse. Nofap is declaring war on anything and everything sexual (especially edging) except for actual sex, and Chia says cultivating your energy by edging to your physical sensations (not to sexual stimuli, even thoughts) is good.

Two conflicting sources of information, both well supported. I don't think there is enough information yet to fully support either side.

For now I am abstaining completely, but the research is ongoing.

 

Hi Guys, I think a couple of points that got lost in this thread are context and intent. I think edging would be a HORRIBLE idea for me right now! In the context of someone who is rebooting (like me) I think neither Tantric sex or other kinds of solo edging would be good.

But eventually -- after I get my head screwed back on straight, I want to develop healthier way to view sex and my own body sexually. Maybe 90 days from now I'll re-visit this idea after reboot.

One of my longer term goals is to learn how to masturbate without porn, from time to time, on my terms (not my addiction's terms) and in a way that makes me feel good at the time and afterward. I'm pretty sure that a 4-5 hour edging session will never be good for me, but maybe some Tantric concepts might be helpful for me to reconnect with my partner and my own body after I reboot.

But yeah, at 1 week in, this isn't something I need to spend much more time thinking about. Interesting discussion though.

 

I agree, intent is extremely important with edging. After I reboot, I would like to see if it is possible to edge safely (Taoist style, not western style at all). My question (rhetorical) is: is it possible to edge, and during that dopamine bath, train/rewire your brain to enjoy the internal sensations of pleasure? Not ohysical sensations, but the energetic/spiritual ones.

I have not found an answer to this, since science and spiritual teachings are like oil and water. I think it would be cool to try, it could create an interesting pleasure loop, and if the theory works, you wouldn't harm your interaction with girls, because you trained yourself to get pleasure from internal energy, not shallow physical stimulation.

This could have merit, or could be 100% BS. I guess each person has to draw their own conclusions at this point, no definitive answer and too many individual variables to consider.

 

^ There is no spiritual pleasure in what you are doing neither is there anything spiritual about it. It's deviant behavior and it's killing any spirituality you might have. It's a sick twisted mind that thinks there is something spiritual about jacking yourself off for endless hours on end. It may start out as ONLY a couple hours but it can go past that to days were you skip sleep and don't eat. There is no pleasure at that point only misery. IMO any sensual pleasure be it eating, sex, drugs when overdone will lead to server misery. They are not things meant to take up the bulk of your time. True satisfaction in something takes a lot of hard work, discipline, and practice. Reaching down between your legs to jerk of will not bring satisfaction.

As has been said here many many times edgeing is worse than straight wanking. And you do still cum whether you believe it or not or know it or not.

 

How can ejaculate go all the way up the urethra to the bladder and then all the way up both ureters to the kidneys?

 

Interesting read. I was worried a bit about my semen volume being lower than it was in the past. I had put that down to an age thing despite the fact i eat well, exercise and general do all the things they say you should do to be healthy in that way. As well as being a heavy pmo addict i also spend way way to long just edging to the point of release. I knew it couldn't be good for me and have often wondered if the act may result in some form of internal release. Now i know,
