    I agree with him. Edging basically floods Dopamine MORE than masturbation does. Masturbation- only once a strong Dopamine rush. Edging- continuous and strong multiple Dopamine rushes.

    Think of this:

    Heroin user injects heroin in arm, feeling a high (Dopamine rush). He's not satisfied he decided to eject more heroin repeatedly in same arm to feel the high. (Continuous and multiple Dopamine rush)

    Bottom Line: It's up to your life but edging is basically destroying the Dopamine pathways in your brain.
     
  2. I agree. But here's the thing: it is so fucking insidious! :mad: Because of the insane craving that this addiction causes, we all suffer with rationalization. It is sad to see @zx125 fall into this trap as well. Somehow, our inner dialogue gets corrupted and we give ourselves permission to wreck our brains and then tell ourselves that it is OK! o_O

    There is no doubt about it, that if we have begun masturbating, it is better to keep going and cum than to edge. It might seem counterintuitive - especially when confronted with the propaganda of rationalization - but these are scientific facts.
