Not ejaculating but still edging..

I'm almost a month into not ejaculating, but am sometimes edging. Avoiding porn. I'm aware that this may be not ideal. Any insights would be appreciated!

 

Edging is harmful to your brain, especially if you drag this out for several hours. Below is an excerpt about edging from a porn recovery website administered by a scientist. If you click the link, you can go on reading this editorial...

Some men attempting the rebooting process believe that as long as they avoid ejaculation, they are successfully rebooting. This twisted logic leads them to endorse an unhelpful practice common to Internet porn users, called edging. This is masturbating up to the edge of orgasm, then stopping to cool things down, then revving up again. Three common versions of edging:

1. Watching porn without masturbating
2. Masturbating while viewing porn, but not ejaculating
3. Masturbating without porn and without ejaculating

Since a reboot is defined as no porn or porn substitutes 1 & 2 make no sense. For those trying to overcome problematic porn use, edging while viewing porn (or fantasizing about porn) is far worse than simply having an orgasm and getting it over with. Why is that? It all comes down to dopamine...

Keep up the good fight and take it a notch by avoiding edging. You can do this man

 

I did that during my first streak and I'm pretty sure that it is the reason why I eventually relapsed. The problem is simply that you continue to have sex on your mind whenever your doing it and you combine this thoughts with pleasure even if you do not ejaculate. That makes it so much harder to get away from masturbating at all. I know that it's difficult when you get ready to shower and so on when you have to touch your penis but it DOES get better and much easier after about a week. Just have some trust in yourself.

 

Thanks folks!!

 

i consider edging even worse.for mental health......

 

Cheers mate. Yeah it's probably an idea to think of it as having as much to do with the brain as the groin.
