Is edging harmful?

Edging can be even more harmful than completing the act. You can check out some research about it in the QA section at yourbrainonporn.com. It gives you a dopamine high that can last for hours as opposed to going all the way which is also pretty harmful. Most people on the forums consider edging a relapse.

 

Yeah. Edging can be worse than a relapse. Its like if i watch porn and dont masturbate. That's still triggering my dopamine. It can make you have more urges in the long run. In my opinion it's a relapse. But dont count this as a relapse just move forward so you dont have to restart your streak.

 

Very harmful. You will definitely not like to experience its physical harm personally. Trust me.

 

worse. You're bathing your brain in dopamine and other chemicals for hours sometimes days on end.
It took me a long time to realize this.

 

Yes, absolutely. The physiological process of ejaculation is a long and complex one with several steps. And when edging, we are completing almost all these steps, with just the ejection and orgasm left. The body has produced the boost of dopamine, etc. So it is super-important not to edge if we want to be honest with ourselves. I would considering edging and masturbation the same thing, it harms the rebooting process.

In addition to the detriments others have noted, it's also a great way to get blue balls and to "condition" your dick to not stay hard unless your hand is on it. It's a terrible habit and really hard to break but if you want to function 100% as you were designed (i.e. lasting, rock hard erections while in close physical contact with a partner), its critical you not do it. OTOH having a partner "edge" you can be exquisitely pleasurable for both of you.
