    Hi everyone,

    Let me get right into it. There's obstacle on my journey that I just can't hack. Two actually. I sometimes wake up between 3-4 AM and basically I'm 3/4 asleep at that time. I find it really difficult to overcome the temptation to edge. More specifically have a fantasy about an irrational crush I have (Irrational because its pretty much based off of porn), I don't actually know her that well on a personal level.



    It's really sad that I do this and I'm trying to stop but I find it quite difficult to stop myself that early in the morning. I sort of go in an autopilot mode. I've removed my laptop from my room, not to browse, but I also seem to peak at my phone as well. Social media where I check out her pages which is equally sad. Also, as we know edging later leads to full blown PMO. I have acknowledged that I need to stop this and that its really beta behaviour but my will at that early morning moment is not so strong.

    Can anyone give me any insight and tips that have helped you with something similar? What can I do to counteract that urge. And how the hell do I stop thinking about this girl. Just a little back story, I have dated and been in relationships in the past. I have never had a crush and act like this before in my life..its not some teenage first love thing. Which is what makes me even more annoyed about the whole thing, it's embarrassing really.



    Thank you for anyone who takes the time to read.

    I appreciate the help
     
  2. So I did this a lot throughout my twenties as well, only the last 2 years since I’ve been in a relationship have I mostly stopped and even then every once in awhile I’ll still briefly catch myself in a fantasy involving someone else.

    He’s the thing that helped me the most/ First I know your sleepy so you don’t want to get up, but have cold water by your bed. Take a drink and count backwards from 20. As you do that breath only in through your nose and out through your mouth. What your attempting to do is get back in touch with your reasoning faculty. Your imagination, like most of us here, is so strong it throws you into a make believe space that overpowers your reasoning faculty. You want to stop doing this but in truth another part of you feels good and likes it. So you have to feed the right wolf. especially when your tired.
    So you drink that cold glass of water, count backwards from 20 and then ask yourself these questions,
    -Is me fantasizing bringing me closer to her in reality?
    -Do I even really know her or is the idea of her what I’m obsessing over?
    -Other than temporary pleasure is this helping me in any way?
    - If i were able to look at myself right now what would I look like to me? *Dick in hand, eyes closed, pretending I’m not alone in this bed smashing my junk with my hand.*

    The more you can catch yourself and do this the less the urges will become. Then you can use the energy to make real life moves instead of waste it away in a fantasy. Good luck!
