    Hello everyone, this is my first post and is a highly sensitive and personal topic for me, and any help will be much appreciated.

    I first came across NoFap over a year ago, although I never signed up and posted anything as I foolishly thought to myself I'll just be able to do this myself without any support. My longest streak of no PMO has been a dismal 16 days in this time.

    I have a one big concern. Pretty much every time I have relapsed has started from edging and watching porn. I would tell myself that as long as I don't orgasm it was okay, I know this is a bad way of thinking. Because of this I would keep edging for around 3 hours before I eventually orgasmed, and this has happened during this whole period of slightly over a year. I think I may have damaged my penis somehow with these prolonged masturbation sessions. The last time I did this (yesterday) I heard a slight cracking sound in my penis as I orgasmed, and there was slight discomfort but no pain. I have also developed a bend in my penis, which I think is due to my penis being much denser and thicker towards the base than it is at the tip. When I have a full erection this isn't as noticeable but when it is a semi erect, slightly floppy penis it is very distinguished. I have decided to masturbate to no porn/visual stimulus for a while now before giving NoFap another serious attempt. I masturbated just now with like this, and I wasn't fully erect when I orgasmed and there was slight discomfort again, although no cracking sound.

    I am concerned with all of these issues - I think all these prolonged masturbation periods have may have seriously damaged me. Everything still "works" and I believe if I left myself alone for long enough, gave my penis enough rest then things will become healthy again. However if anyone has encountered anything similiar to this during their addiction days then any help/advice would be very much appreciated.

    I reckon it's fine and no issue. My penis used to make a cracking sound when I had sex (no pain), but I would often not be fully erect (potentially in the case of your edging?). It's never nice to hear a sound coming from down there, but if there is no pain it's usually not an issue. If you need further reassurance, visit your GP. I found thinking about it freaked me out more haha. Take a break from pmo... Try to focus on other things than your dick and things should become healthy again - I've worried about the same things as you on previous attempts and all does resolve in time...

    Hey man,
    I can understand your concerns. I had similar issues with prolonged erections. It did not crack but I got some serious swellings which took days if not weeks to heal off. My lesson was: I dont want to destroy myself in such a way. I mean PMO in general is destroying (though on a more subtle way) but this, this was to creepy for me. No thanks, I want to keep my penis intact. Do yourself a favor and stop this bad habbit! :)

    Ouch! Definitely see a doctor, don't be shy about it! I don't think this is a fracture, but could be some other slight injury. From what I have read due to a similar situation a while back, blood flow in general is not bad. What you SHOULD be careful of though is irritating the possible injury site. If you masturbate, just do so gently and touching more so other areas. Anyway, I am not a doctor, doesn't hurt to see one! If you start out at a GP, just try to get them to allow you to see a urologist. I think specialized doctors usually have more to say.

    Most importantly, don't stress about it, that would only make things worse and from what you say, it's probably A-OKAY anyways. All the best ;)

    Yep go talk it over with a doctor to get peace of mind. Also lay off the fap for a while to see what recovers or develops. Will also be a good driver for aiding your recovery.

    Hello JWB, Oh, it's not called "self abuse" for nothing! Regular three-hour edging sessions is taking its toll. I recommend you stop bargaining and engage with the NoFap challenge. In order to reduce the amount of physical stimulation you're giving yourself, you'll need to reduce the amount of visual stimulation. My addiction is more to do with M rather than P. So it was relatively easy for me to give up the P. And, I'm pleased to say that I quickly found that less P meant less urge to M. I recommend you give up P. Block your computer. Only use your on-line devices in "public" space at home. Never take on-line devices into the bedroom. And apply the three-second rule - notice, admire, move on - whenever/wherever you encounter fap fuel, real or imaginary. Works for me. Then, I think you'll find your urge to edge will start to diminish. I think the main thing is to get P out of your life. The rest will follow. best wishes Ch.
