Clarity on edging

Hey! In my opinion it depends on your rules that you follow through your NoFap challenge. If you actually did not ejaculate than I think it was just fantasy and the point is to stop watching porn and do not masturbate. If I would do the same I would not count it as a relapse.

 

it

it probly got in your head, so it would be a reset. I can not get further then 3 days of late, but now I am really going for 90 days.

 

Edging is when you jerk off, massage your penis, watch some porn or hump something to the point when your close to cumming then stopping right there and leaving it. It is basically relapsing. Avoid this shit

 

In my opinion edging is even worse than masturbation, it keeps you on a non stop dopamine high and messes up your recovery. I've seen countless posts of guys that edge and complain they eventually relapse, and don't see that many benefits.

What happend shouldn't count as a reset, you didn't do anything and it was an accident.

And yeah edging is where you masturbate just up until you feel like you're going to ejaculate, and then stop.

 

If it’s precum and you didn’t touch your penis, it’s not a relapse.

Edging is like continuous dopamine rushes. It can be addictive and more dangerous than masturbation. You eventually might prefer edging over masturbation AND your semen got stuck and has to go back into it if you didn’t ejaculate, causing blue balls.

Yeah avoid edging at all costs!

 

No, dwelling on sexual thoughts = fantasizing.

Edging is described well here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/clarity-on-edging.140962/#post-1136211

Edging = orgasm control: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgasm_control#In_masturbation

Edging is the worst thing you can do if you are trying to recover from overstimulation of the brain's dopamine receptors:

I used to be less hung up about edging in the past, but quickly learned that edging/fantasizing = inevitable relapse 3 or 4 days down the line. Now, if I let myself fantasize or edge, I reset my counter. Like others have said edging is even worse than relapse because it keeps you in a state of overstimulation (and zombie-mode) for longer. Just reset your counter, accept this as a learning point, and have faith that you can be PMO free for real if you persist and hold yourself accountable.

 

Edging IS a relapse.
