Edging.

For me edging is the same as masturbating. Don't do it. It will still release the dopamine chemicals in your brain.

I suggest you reset your counter and start over. Edging is far worse than regular masturbation.

 

I used to edge and fool myself by no O and continue on my "streak". You will get nowhere edging man I promise.

 

Yep. Same, with my old, supposed 78 day streak. In reality, I can barely make it a week. My first, real streak was for about 14 days.

But, yeah, no edging. I immedietly lost my NoFap Powers from that.

 

Trying not to fantasize seems to be the hardest thing. Once that starts, it leads to edging, which given enough time leads to O. I think cutting the fantasies is the key, but getting there is a trick I've yet to learn.

 

I edge for male enhancement purposes whilst doing NoFap but I stay around 70-80% arousal level so I don't let myself get too close or I'll end up ejaculating and I certainly don't use images or porn for it cause that is definitely a relapse. You want to avoid visual stimuli and aim to focus on sensation or imagination. When I say imagination I'm talking about imagining real life situations or past sexual encounters in your mind and not thinking about porn or unrealistic sexual encounters. If you don't have the willpower to prevent ejaculation whilst edging and if you know it will lead to images and eventually porn then it's best to stay away from edging.

 

I remember right I edged a lot in my streaks before. Thought it wouldn't matter but my brain being filled with chemicals just didn't feel right. Edging is worse than Masturbation.

 

Wouldn't say it's as bad as masturbation but you shouldn't be doing it. Trust me you will slip over the edge eventually if you continue to do it.

 

Relapse and join this thread. You're not committed right now. JUST FAP AND OPEN THIS.

Why are you encouraging people to fap?!?!

 

SO THAT THEY WOULD BE MORE COMMITTED THAN THEY WERE BEFORE. AND SEE, IM NOT COMPELLING THEM TO DO SO, IF THEY WANT THEY WILL AND IF THEY DON'T THEY WON'T DO IT, PLEASE IM JUST TRYNA HELP.

 

People should try to become committed before fapping rather than relapse. Give motivational advice and help people stay committed rather than telling people to fap and then quit again.

 

As many others have said Edging = Relapse.

The reason is because edging is actually worse in some cases. You view image after image (sometimes pushing yourself just to the point of orgasm and then backing off), waiting for the "perfect" image that never comes. During this process your brain continues to release massive amounts of dopamine, further driving the addiction and craving.

Don't edge man... just don't do it.

come on man, I m telling him to do so because of my repeated failures. Its my experience on this journey that oozes out of those words. And still the name of group is Day 0. Thus people would find many others who are on the same day as they are. Don't judge man.
