Opinions on edging?

Correct. But if you check some of his posts you will see he is 15 (maybe he thought he would not be allowed to open an account here because he is a minor). As for the rest of your comments, you are just being silly.

 

Apologies, Good luck on your journey!

 

My opinion:
Don't do it

 

The question is, "will this behavior bring me closer to or further from my goals?". Only you can answer that. I understand asking for others' opinions, but in reality, nobody else's matter. For me, this is a personal journey, so if I spend my time seeking "technical loopholes" (e.g. saying "this isn't technically porn" or "I can edge as long as I don't PMO) I am only cheating myself, not some external system or policy handbook. Make your own rules and stick to them.

 

Not to drudge up a disagreement that was just put to bed, but here's an especially relevant paragraph from IGY's article for the OP:
"It's important to realize that sexual stimulation is by far the highest level of dopamine naturally produced. Dopamine is at its peak when on the verge of orgasming (edging). In the pre-Internet days, guys would usually masturbate, orgasm and be done with it - it might take 10 minutes or so. At orgasm, prolactin rises, which drops dopamine to baseline levels and inhibits its release. That normally spells some relief.
Placing your foot on the dopamine gas, without ever hitting the brake (prolactin) results in a continuous state of cravings without satisfaction. This practice of edging calls to mind the earliest experiments on the reward circuitry of the brain in which animals would stimulate themselves over and over, braving electrical shocks and ignoring willing mates."

To help heal PE, you can try "edging" with your wife, where you are actually having sex, but delaying orgasm until you've reached the point where it is acceptable for you to orgasm. This avoids the masturbation issue entirely, and trains you to last longer.
