    I am exactly 16 days into NoFap, but on day 5 I edged a lot (looked at porn for like 2 hours without fapping) until I got really bad blue balls and because of that I stopped and fell asleep. Ever since then I have had blueball like pain for the last ~11 days of NoFap. I heard that edging will give you blue balls but I haven't edged since and the pain is not going away. Is this normal?

    The P in No PMO stands for Porn. Do you just not count Porn as a relapse? Because it should be.

    I've learned my lesson but going forward I'm still seeing the issue - what do I do?

    First, edging is a relapse. When people say they edged, they either mean they looked at porn without masturbating or that they masturbated without orgasm. You shouldn't be touching or looking at anything sexual (unless you have a girlfriend. If that's the case, the choice is up to you on what you do with her).

    I have just had an almost permanent case of blue balls for 17 days and after a binge all is fine again.

    I think there are two categories. Nofap definitely increases their sensitivity so I become more generally aware and they tend to hurt far more easily, for instance when cycling or accidently pressuring or bumping them. I thought this was blue balls but now think its just sensitive balls.

    and then there is blue balls... the pain ranges from awkward walk ache to laying down curled up and is always caused by some form of sexual stimulation. It could be a real person, edging, porn or fantasies.

    once blue balls kick in it lingers for days with a hair trigger escalation response. If I am not completely well behaved for a few days it just gets worse and worse. cold packs do help temporarily.

    so I guess Im saying once you get blue balls it can easily stay around for weeks if you are not strict about de-escalating sexual stimulation incl thoughts, peeking, touching etc. Theres not much you can do if someone hot is in your life that ur not having O with. Thats a whole other level....

    Id like to think after so many blue ball days Ive learnt my lesson for good. Right now Im starting nofap again and literally afraid to think about stimulation :p
