    Hi

    on day 11, never thought I'd make it this far but have been edging .. and it's not really helping any.
    I think I'm going to relapse every time.
    is this common, and does edging really not work ?

    thanks

    Not an expert but i think edging is frowned upon as i think it would just hold you back and be counter productive. Dont get me wrong i wanna edge to thoughts i have but i cut those thoughts out instantly as soon as i get em

    Edging is BAD. The reason is that you are not doing anything mentally or spiritually to deal with the addiction problems. You are still flooding your pleasure centers with dopamine and before you know it you will be back to full on masturbating with porn. It is like an alcoholic hanging out at bars but not drinking or a smoker not inhaling. How long do you think that will work? We all need to reprogram our brains to not go down the path of dwelling on sex all the time and edging just keeps you in a state of frustration and keeps those old negative pathways open. Cold turkey and cold showers my brother!

    And I really suggest getting the counter for your signature. It helps a lot to keep you motivated.

    Stop edging, it's the worst thing you can do. The reason being is because it leads to pmo again. It's ok it happens, if you edge then simply stop and go take a cold shower. The more you edge the worse it's affects take over. If it happens once or twice then it's ok. More Than that I would count it as a relapse because you're back to your old ways bro. If edging happens again then restart

    Listen to the others here. Edging is what created my PIED. Well, technically the PMO started it but fetish porn and even weirdest of sh*t could keep me edging for hours. Honestly you can damage the tissues in your penis if it's erect for more than a few hours. Plus edging keeps you on that "high" so your brain will only crave more. Stop, better to just do a quick MO without the porn and no more edging! Trust us, we've been there.

    Is this a serious question? :confused:

    Why would you think that masturbating for hours on end would "work" in addressing your addiction? :rolleyes:
