    im a 19 year old who has been suffering from pmo addiction for many years now but in the past year my life changed. I started to edge to porn for hours on end and i would feel absolutely terrible afterwards. I would edge but after edging for hours I would still orgasm. I still don’t know if I’ll ever truly recover from that year of intensive brain frying but this past summer I almost completely cut edging out of my life. It literally made my brain feel empty. It was so dogged up and I went through immense psychological pain everytime I edged for at least a couple of days. I would lose interest in life and want to bash my head into a wall. It gave me immense social anxiety and awkwardness which went away for the most part when I stopped edging but it still is kinda there. This morning I relapsed and edged for about 15 minutes and orgasmed and I feel like absolute shit. My brain is filled with that foggy feeling and my body feels stiff. It literally makes me feel like I have no point in life. I just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this feeling before from edging and I would like to warn anyone that a quick pmo is MUCH better than edging because i feel like it actually ruined my life. Sorry if this is long but I just can’t take this anymore and I can’t wait till this post edging feeling goes away after a few days. I noticed that if I wait two to three days after edging and orgasming then just having a normal quick pmo session without edging I feel normal again but if I don’t do that it usually takes about a week till I feel normal again, maybe it has something to do with resetting my sex drive or something idk...

    I agree with you, edging is worse than PMO. Don't feel bad, feel hopeful that you have the passion to start. There should be no negative emotions, just hope!

    I did this same thing. But I'm 48 and probably have a good 20 years of addiction on you. Stop it all now. Your 19 and should recover quickly. Don't wait until your an old man because the withdrawals are neutra brutal at my age.

    I’ll add my 2cents. At 57 years old I am still embarrassed and afraid of being “discovered” in the moment. I agree with the above that you should do whatever you can to get ariund your addiction and get on with your life. Your habits like your sexuality are new and you should be able to work this out. The longer you mess around the harder the habit is formed. Being open on this forum is awesome though. I am hoping that these discussions will help me climb out too. I hope to move on for good now. Good luck.

    Sorry, I’m kind of new to this, can you explain to me what edging is?

    Edging is when you masturbate but stop right before your orgasm then you start masturbating again and repeat that process until you inevitably orgasm. There is really no point in doing Nofap if you edge you make no progress when you edge.

    Edging you're stimulating yourself physically, whether to porn, fantasy or nothing at all - you're basically initiating that part of yourself that would be initiated during foreplay with your wife. Lots of adrenaline involved.
