    HI

    I know fantasizing about porn and porn stars is edging, but what about fantasizing about an actual woman you know does that count as edging and should I try to avoid doing this what do people think ?

    Thank you

    It may vary, as I am not sure of the true effects of it yet, but for me, fantasizing about real life women, especially those who are just coworkers or acquaintances, is what bothers me the most about this addiction. I want to be able to not see them in this way or "use them" for my own personal gratification. So for me yes, it does count as edging.

    NO.never edge.

    You will edge, then edge, then another edge and then you will back to the old porn habits.

    Dont touch your pennis.Go hardmode.Never test it.

    Find a real partner to have real intimacy

    Edging is the kiss of death. It releases even more dopamine than masturbating to orgasm. You cannot heal while edging!

    It appears this thread is not about edging, but fantasising.

    I thought fantasizing about porn and watching porn have similar effects on the brain ?

    It's not difficult to imagine the case where fantasizing about a coworker activates the same neural pathways associated with pornography. This could indirectly make your no PMO challenge more difficult as a result.

    I don't know about whether it counts as edging or not, but I would advise you try and control your fantasies for the sake of beating PMO. Do you want to be the kind of guy who fantasizes, or actually lives his dream? Good luck.

    Avoid fantasizing, it will make your reboot harder for no reason.

    No real, no deal
