    i strongly believe that the only difference between edging and fapping completely is just semen retention! Literally you feel as bad as when u PMO, when you edge too! You feel like you don’t have control because if you did you wouldn’t have been edging in the first place! You also feel just demotivated and tired, couple that with blueballs that’s definitely not making matters better! Last night (day 10) I edged for almost 3hrs! To pictures! But it was to the one thing I didn’t want to the most( something I think might becoming a fetish) I felt bad because I swear I thought I had it under control! My plan was to get prepared for the next day and go right to bed!! So I think from now on the best way would be to count edging as a relapse! This way I could become more cautious of it! It’s not necessarily going to be as bad as actually PMOing but I think it should also be something to take account of! As I read earlier this week on here that edging while on a reboot actually makes matters worse as your brain knows that there’s only so long you can go without fapping and it knows at what exact point your going to give in so it kind of just holds that hunger for PM until you reach that mark (for most people it’s day 4/5/6) then you just find yourself edging!

    I have been doing NoFap for a year. Edging is just not a wise thing for us to do. It always leads to disaster for me.

  3. I try to keep it simple. Don't touch my penis unless I'm going to the bathroom. Then I don't need to worry about the difference between edging and masturbation. The point is that I'm trying to abstain from doing so because of a desire for a reboot. I'm not doing it because masturbation or edging is bad. They aren't in and of themselves (my opinion). But porn + those things skimpy aren't good for me. So I've found the best thing is to not even think about going "there".

    Yeah I wanna get to a stage where I can see porn, feel triggers but not give in! Because the fact of the matter is Porn or anything that suggests it, is impossible to completely stir clear of these days

    I can't go either place right now. PMO and edging are a disaster for ME. You have to a take the path that will be successful for you.

    What do u mean a disaster?
     
  7. For me the difference lies in having or nor having an orgasm. That simple. It's about what happens in your brain.
    About the word "desaster": I think I know what @WWW1974 means: When I'm edging I get (relatively soon) to a point of no return, where I can't stop me from doing something I in every moment know that I don't want to do it, until I've ruined my goal.

  10. I cannot edge. It either leads to ejaculation or blue balls. And both suck

    Have you seen The Glossary of this site? Top line. According to this, edging earns us a reset. Day 0 on our counter. :(
    "Edging: Traditionally, this described masturbating to the brink of orgasm and stopping right before “going over the edge.” This could be repeated over and over, usually in conjunction with pornography. Some rebooters have tried this in a misguided attempt to rationalize pornography usage (“well, it doesn’t count if I didn’t orgasm!”). Now it is used more generally to describe masturbation without orgasm. If you are adhering to NoFap’s Normal or Hard Mode rebooting programs, edging is usually considered a reset."
    And the word echoes...reset, reset, reset.. :eek:

    I have never been a successful edger.
     
  13. One gives you blue balls, other gives you temporary satisfaction and long lasting regret.

    I only edged to shoot larger loads and farther. It was like a cannon. My partners loved it and it was very intense for me and them. She performed some and I as well. Yet when porn was in the mix I did most definitly NOT.Your brain if you notice makes an imprint. When you O,the more powerfull it is it codes every bit of that moment. I can still remember them. I see no point otherwise if your rebooting. Dont even touch the love gun brother.
