    fuck man :D I am in the same boat
    I think just resist the thought and dont edge at all
    btw. if you edged already you should reset your days -> because edging = masturbation

    and from my experience I loose even more time edging so for me I try not to edge at all

    just do cold showers or go outside, meditation, exercise -> pushups, burpees

    Hi GSM.

    If I may add. I think edging causes more damage than just pmo'ing. Both these acts will stop you becoming free from pmo once and for all. When you edging you are are damaging your dopamine to unimaginable levels. No way is our body supposed to feel that constant amount of pleasure and not have negative side effects.

    From my personal experience, I was trapped in the edging cycle for three months prior to my current no pmo streak. I used to spend 3+ hours every night edging to porn. Even though I was working 12 hours a day I would still make time to edge. This really made me feel weak and not want to accomplish much in life. I used to look tired all the time and feel lethargic in any tasks I did at work or at home. If I think about all the time I've wasted on edging I could have done some real productive things or build meaningful relationships.

    I know it's hard to stop when it feels good but think about the consequences that comes with it. I really hope you can build the willpower to overcome you habits. I really feel so much better now that pmo is in my past and I can focus on the present. I have no forms of recreation or pleasure releasing type of activity in my life. But I have a clear conscience knowing I no longer indulge in such demoralizing acts. I really am not bothered if I don't have anything good going in my life but I'm at peace all thanks to no pmo.

    I really wish you all the best on your journey bro. You deserve the life that's waiting for you once you pmo or edging free.

    Ive been struggling with edging too lately. Hard not to let it shoot. I’ve tried to stop edging completely but it’s hard to quit.

    We have the power and control to choose between right and wrong. The consequences will forever be echoed in this life and the next. I pray that you choose wisely.

    In my past attempts, edging ruined all my progress and I was not able to reach the 30th day. Now I'm on my 32nd day and it was because I avoided edging and also I avoided any content which can arouse me.

    Edging is dangerous because it can lead you to relapse over time. If you want success in your strike, Don't pretend that edging is different from M. I know how difficult it can be, I was trapped one year in that cycle (strike - edging - relapse). It requires discipline but definitely worths it.

    We are still inthe struggle.

    Edging is like dipping your toe in quick sand just to see what it feels like. I'd you don't want to get swallowed up by quicksand. Dont even dip your toes in it ! Back up a couple metres , put a fence around it. With a sign that says " warning , quicksand " and then a mile down the road put up another sign that said " warning quick sand in 1 mile "

    I feel you.
    What I find helps to control it is to have a trusting control partner as in if I have the urge I will not watch any kind of porn and do it with somebody else so we stop each other from Cumming and the most important thing is to not do it too often as in don't do it daily..
    On the other hand I am a female and might have different experiences than you have.
    Good luck and I hope you get better or at least have some success.
