    I know edging is bad and raises dopamine leves like crazy.. but does edging also cause lack of motivation, social anxiety, tiredness as well as all the other physical and mental affects that MO does?

    I think so because I've read people who still edge sometimes don't see any benefits from nofap, then remove edging and they see massive changes shortly after.

    You get dopamine pumping round your brain and if you are thinking of porn related things whilst doing so, you reinforce the pathways behind your addiction.

    The side-effects you mention are all due to the your brain being used to the dopamine overdose that is caused by PMO. When you're not watching porn or masturbating, your brain misses that dopamine, and every day life seems dull and pointless. Edging causes the same dopamine overdose, which would indicate that it would cause those side effects as well.
