Edging vs MO?

    Hello all,

    I remember previously reading a thread where someone said it was better to MO than to be edging while undergoing the reboot process, but I forget why exactly.


    If anyone could fill me in exactly, I'd appreciate it since I cannot seem to find the thread that I read that in before.

    A couple of reasons:

    1. If you just MO when really horny, you might waste 5 minutes (maybe 10 at most), then it's done and you can get on with other things. People can waste hours edging.

    2. MO doesn't have the mind-fucking effects of porn attached to it (from my experience, porn does far more damage mentally than MO does physically).

    3. Your sex drive is as natural as your drive to excrete. Now we don't suppress our drive to excrete, we just make sure we do it in the right place. When a person has a lot of pent up sexual energy, they are prone to doing other stupid things, like chasing escorts or having sex with people they shouldn't be (I know because I've done it). You're better of, as Neil Strauss advises in The Truth, to simply MO first, then see if you still want to go and see that escort who's probably not that great anyway.

    edging is the worst, i used to edge with porn for hours before orgasm, edging literally drains your entire energy even if u do not release your semen (according to my experience of course!).

    I agree! edging is so much worse. I have wasted up to 2 hours at a time daily thinking I am doing no harm and then still convincing myself I'm going through a clean streak and can't understand why I am not experiencing the recovery effects.

    Yeah a quick MO is probably better but not really the answer. But it all depends on what your goals are etc :)

    Stay strong brother!!

    honestly trying to go without PMO man! I've been feeling the urge to look at P today, but trying to resort to breathing exercises to center my focus back on my work!
