    1. Edging has always lead to relapse in the past.
    2. When I relapse I will be very upset.
    3. I will have low energy.
    4. I will not have enthusiasm.
    5. When I relapse I will have to deal with the chaser effect again so I might as well not edge this time as the next time it will be harder.
    6. One of my main goals in life will be much more difficult to accomplished.
    7. I will loose my streak.
    8. It will be harder to exercise
    9. People will mess me around again as I will have low self esteem
    10. I will be shy around women.
    11. I will become needy
    12. I will loose my inner strength
    13. I will start fantasising about women
    14. I will objectify myself
    15. I will objectify others
    16. Just cause I have an urge does not mean I have to edge
    17. I will have lost my will power
    18. Edging and panting and all that is like drinking salt water it does not lead to happiness
    19. Don't exchange short term pleasure for long term happiness
    20. Edging will destroy my contentment and my overall happiness

    For me edging is a relapse, same dopamine, same brain pathways , same sexual issues with a real woman.

    Quitting porn addiction is piece of cake comparing to overcoming edging. I just cannot... :(

    this is so true edging reinforces the objectifying of a women and the inability to appreciate her and be able to deal with her in a kind way.

    Unlike others that is not my problem,, my main manifestation of porn has been my lower libido in sex and in being unable to cum.

    With PMO there are basically 2 addictions . pornography and masturbation, they are two different acts but work in conjunction, ideally you'd like to get rid of edging completely as you'll experience the real benefits of nofap and eventually you'll get readjusted. Just one month ago on my previous streak I was a serial edger, sometimes for even upto one hour a day . but I shifted my focus into projecting into the future a version of myself that doesn't edge and here I am, I don't edge anymore because I've made a physical association between edging and feeling bad. Itll come! You'll realise you're sacrificing good feelings for nothing when you edge.

    "You don't want to release any chemicals in your brain you want to keep them to feel good."

    You could argue that both addictions are just the same addiction, Dopamine

    Yes edging is like loosing the focus or going out of the zone.

    It is a crazy pursuit of happiness that does not work and just leads to suffering.

    There is no lasting happiness to find through the physical act of edging.

    It is like drinking vinegar or salt water it never quenches the thirst.

    Yes id recommend everyone to read these articles, Im convinced one of the reasons im finding giving up porn easier than some of you guys is for some reason i gave up edging a few years ago. Im not sure why it happened but ive just been about the cumming/ quickies.

    Thank you IGY this is very helpful. Fantasy is a dangerous game that destroys self esteem. I have noticed since I joined dreamviews and have been preoccupied with my dreams I have been less interested in daily life and some urges / fantasises have started to creep back in. I am going to seriously look at this.
