About Edging (Prostatitis, Frequent Urination, Urinary Incontinence, etc.)

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, May 25, 2022.

  1. The following was originally contributed years ago by a user on MedHelp. Credit goes to him and his doctor.

    1. During masturbation (particularly long sessions where orgasm is not reached relatively quickly), the urinary sphincter stays contracted for a long time so to prevent urination. This excessive period of contraction wears that muscle out in the immediate and long term.

    2. Prolonged contraction and engorgement of muscles and tissues in the pelvic area, as is associated with excessive sexual activity, might directly cause nerve inflammation leading to various symptoms.

    3. A slight increase in the size of the prostate, as is natural and common with aging, might cause some impingement on the pudendal nerve. A lot of sexual activity will naturally cause the prostate to swell and fill with fluid and particularly long sessions will aggravate it even more.

    At any rate, my urologist made it quite clear that we are not designed to have sex as often as we may think. The worst scenarios he has encountered are in guys who engage in long sessions in an excited or aroused state, looking at internet porn for at 1-2 hours before ejaculation.


    Something to think about.

    Oh wow, this is all very relevant. Thanks for posting.

    I think a lot of guys have this issue because when you go down the rabbit hole of internet porn, you can easily end up consuming 1-2hours or more, jussssst searching for that perfect picture or video. In contrast, before the days of porn, for me at least I can remember jerking off after school because a hot girl in class I liked wore a low cut shirt that day (or stuff like that), and just using pure imagination, no phones, no computer, could cum within 5 minutes easily.

    I would love to hear from someone who had this same issue as us from PMO, then stopped masturbating for 90 days and got cured.

    Oh one other thing to note; I did get my prostate checked and I had a normal sized, healthy prostate, despite suffering from this incontinence issue, just fyi it might not be that for you either.

    This is very interesting. Im 30 and have been addicted to porn since age 12. Longest streak since then was 5 months. On day 7 again. I can relate with this feeling of frequent urination. And yes when I watch porn i watch often for over an hour. Thank you for posting this, this is more motivation for me to change my habitus and lifestyle!

  6. You're welcome. My PMO timeline is similar to yours. The difference is that my longest abstinence period in all those years has been about 2 weeks. I'm on day 1 again but I'm motivated to start fresh this coming month. Good luck to you.

    Very interesting. Do we have any more sources on this?
    I have probably spent many hours in an "aroused state". It makes sense that its not good for the muscels controlling it.... Nothing Ive been thinking about chasing that perfect video for hours to get a big feeling of shame after. Nice work Alex... :rolleyes:
     
  8. I don't. As mentioned in the OP, this was taken from a decade-old post by a user on MedHelp. According to him, it's what his urologist told him.

    It makes a lot of sense. Personally, I've had many instances starting a few years ago when I'd have the urge to urinate during a session. I'm thinking that just might be exactly what that guy on MedHelp was referring to and why he went to see a urologist in the first place. That probably shouldn't be happening. Then again, we probably shouldn't be masturbating or having sex for hours at a time either.

  9. Damn man. Thanks for sharing this.

    During my sessions I edge for 10+ hours. I'm probs doing irreversible damage to myself.
     
  10. You've got to stop that. I thought it didn't get much worse than me. My sessions can last up to 4-6 hours.

    I never even considered before that the duration could be the cause of PIED, but it makes so much sense. That's like holding a bicep curl for hours at a time, you're gonna burn the muscle out, tear it too much, etc.

  12. Porn brings out unnatural needs for unnatural sex. The duration of PMO sessions, in my opinion, is extremely relevant for many guys here.

    Can confirm the symptoms are real. I never linked it to my bad habits initially, but they would lessen once I would abstain.

    Good luck to you as well my friend! Never give up! two weeks is great and a good fountain to build on. I like to see it at 13 out of 14 days successul, so 93% success! Well done! It's easy to look at giving in as a failure, but if you look at it from another perspective it may benefit you in building confidence. I'm by no means an expert, as I've been struggling myself, but I just want to share what is working for me.

    Been going on about 2 weeks and I feel I will give in at any moment. However, in admitting my weakness I find there is strength and I am able to keep going. An interesting mental trick I've discovered, at least for myself. Hopefully it is long lasting.

    I did notice yesterday that I was feeling particulary anxious, which added to my frequent urination. I am guessing it may be a part of withdrawals. It's been challenging lately but I won't give up. I feel like porn is holding me back in many ways. I feel less of a natural motivation to start a family for example. Imagining a future family in my life has been a positive contribution to my motivation. Dig deep for what may motivate you :) All the best and good luck brother!

    hell, after like 30min to an hour I'm just like *BLURGHHHHH* On the bed, no energy, you must be sycking out your own soul after each session.
     
  16. Lmao yeah dude. The scary part is that this is just the average, I've gone wayyy beyond this. This is all the more reason to put porn behind me and move on with my life.

    Só is there any hope for recovery?
     
  19. Are you hoping to recover? If so, then yes. But you know what that will entail.
