People keeps telling me nobody does this

It can be more harmful than regular PMO because there is no comedown from the dopamine from the orgasm. You can seriously damage your brain and make it harder to quit PMO by edging. It's best not to do it.

 

I didn't know that. I always just heard it was bad. I figured because it made you more likely to accidentally go all the way.

 

That’s referred to as “edging”, and you should not do it under any circumstances.

 

Masturbate without ejaculating is 10 times worse

 

Don't see a problem in edging except for the high risk of not being able to stop it in time.

 

The problem is drenching your brain in dopamine without release. It’s terrible for a reboot...

 

It will almost always lead to a full relapse

 

Sounds like torture to me

I do masturbate from time to time, because it doesn't make me relapse to porn. But if I imagine masturbating and then not having in orgasm, now that would be bad.

Just do or don't do it, but don't half-do it.

 

I’m not jumping onto the “EDGING IS BAD!” Bandwagon, but it shouldn’t be done either. That’s only asking for a relapse, and you’re not truly healing from your addiction either.

 

Edging can completely halt your rebooting process and prevents the re-wiring of your brain. It is also worse than masturbation in many ways because you are drenching your brain in dopamine without any “release”, and this in turn can cause an actual increase in addiction levels. To put it simply edging is terrible, and if you are edging you are not truly rebooting...

 

For those attempting to reboot from PMO.

 

I've done edging, but I don't end up going over. Apparently it's been said that you could fap, and once you're edging, draw up the energy up your spine and you could become Multiorgasmic without actually releasing your seed. There's a book called "The Multiorgasmic Man" by Mantak Chia that explains how to ejaculate up the spine. I mean, at 1st it sounded gross and sounded like utter nonsense, but then I've read some positive reviews about the book and decided to try it out. Still not Multiorgasmic, but I've definitely felt some energy in my spine in my lower back. Afterwards, I don't feel the need to fap and orgasm because the feeling just goes away and for some reason I feel the energy in my lower back and don't feel tired as to if I MO'd. On the contrary, I feel more awake with some energy. I've used that energy in working out and I've noticed I could do my 100 pull-up exercise with less rest and with less tiredness. But back to edging, I still haven't passed over the edge, but I've barely started this routine today and done it 3 times without actually going over the edge.

 

Stop edging right now. Really bad.

 

I should think that’s obvious. Anyone not attempting to reboot doesn’t really have a reason to be on these forums anyway... but yes, if rebooting is your goal, edging will prevent that goal from happening.

 

I don't think so. Nofap is not limited to rebooters. As you can see there's a section on this forum for abstinence, retention and transmutation. Nofap is for all people who don't want to fap, without regard to their motives.

 

It's called edging and its killing your progress. You should be cutting that shit off asap.

 

Edging is something I tried before. If executed in a specific way (flexing the PC muscle), it can lead to orgasms that can last even up to half an hour. Terrible stuff.
