    Hi,

    Given my history with addiction, I noticed that if I have a PMO session then I'm not satisfied and I need another PMO session and I continue for about 4-5 hours or so. And each time it feels less pleasurable. On the other hand, if I edge for an equal period (4-5) hours, it feels better during the whole period.

    Does edging for hours have to do with getting more dopamine? and what is the different between having many O over a period, let's say, 4 hours VS edging for 4 hours and having only 1 O?

    And in terms of quitting, would edging pull me deeper into addiction!

    Edging is the worst. It makes the brain pour dopamine. It allows you to see so many potential partners and scenes over a few hours that your reward center can go into massive overdrive. The edging is actually the biggest problem with internet porn because you can move so quickly from person to person genre to genre. Most people who post here are actually more addicted to the edging process with porn than anything else (myself included) And yes it’s pulling you deeper into the addiction. Your brain needs more stimulation for longer in order to get the same “high”

    I sure agree with Arnuld. Although I've been jerking off for almost 60 years, I feel the availability of Internet porn started me into this edging thing. Before that I would look at magazine or porn video, jerk off quick as I could and that as it.
