My goal is to cure PIED. Erections have defintely improved and libido is coming back. With ups and downs tho..some days very horny, some days not at all. Im (almost) not fantazing about porn anymore, but girls I see in real life. I think I can say Im now very interested in the female body, rather than before it was a scary unexplored territory. Around day 220 i wanted to check myself how my penis would react with minimum stimulation, so very carefully I touched myself and gave it a few strokes. The experience was positive and gave me a confidence boost that my reboot was working. However the experience was so enjoyable that it led to more attempts...guess I can agree that edging leads to more edging, which is very dangerous. Last time I even went 1 stroke too far which resulted in not a real orgasm but a few drops of semen. Now Im very angry and confused at myself. The big question ; am I now horny enough to have real sex or should I never edge again and stick to me reboot as long as possible?
stick to your reboot and dont edge, i dont see why you shouldnt have real sex if your erections are strong enough, it will help the rewiring
Edging is a nasty habit, and is probably worse than masturbation with O. If this keeps up you should decide if reincorporating masturbation without O could help prevent edging sessions. This also depends on how long you edge and how it makes you feel, and if you end up masturbating more than you edged, defeating the purpose.
Is there a difference between masturbation without O and edging?? Basically I dont have troubles with not edging again.
yeah there is, but if you want to recover you dont want to be doing either of those things. sounds to me as if your addiction is trying to rationalize these behaviours again to your brain. if you want to keep your streak going, id suggest not masturbating at all
@young Dale Dan Tony Understanding the effects of PMO on your body is an important part of the recovery process. This 40 chapter reboot manual by a successful Fapstronaut talks about all of this.
