Men into edging?

That's weird you posted that about it being addictive right as I was about to post a warning to others. I hate to be a buzz kill but I feel this should also be talked about. I feel like edging is a drug. In fact, I used to tell my gf when I'd edge that I am drunk horny because edging would make me so horny I would have such wild and dirty fantasies.

I am currently on an edging bender and have been edging for decades. (Since I discovered internet porn in college.) So I myself love it and understand why others love it. But pretty soon I am going to quit and quit porn/masturbation because I believe I am addicted to it and life would be better without it. What happens to me, and it might happen to the poster above, is that when I start edging I get so horny and wild and "high" that I don't want it to end. I do not want to cum because when I cum the ride is over. However, if I don't cum all I want to do is edge so I will spend hours or an even entire day off and on, edging. My fantasies get so wild during this time that I feel like it's not my normal self. I no longer drink or smoke but this to me gives me the same feeling. Instead of sitting at a bar I am sitting in front of my computer. I know I have an addictive personality so others might have the same experience as me, but if you do too, I recommend that we try to quit edging. I have gone a few months max, a month recently without masturbating and my interest in pursuing real relationships, real girls was much much much higher. I felt better, my penis looked better and morning wood was constant. My hard flaccid stuff went away.

As I said, I don't want to be a buzzkill as most of you are enjoying edging and come here to read about others enjoying it as well. Just maybe we should all reflect on it and ask ourselves if we would be better off without it. Am I addicted to it and is it taking away pleasure I'd get out of normal life. Edging really throws off the dopamine system and when you stop edging, the small things in life give you pleasure again. At least it did for me. The problem is, it is really hard to quit. Harder than nicotine for me because horny doesn't go away.

In conclusion, just be careful about edging. It can become an addictive drug for some of us.
I have similar concerns and experiences. The build-up, tension, and pure bliss for hours on end bring indescribable pleasure, but the impact it’s having on my relationship and my body are starting to be of concern. If I’m not actively chasing the high that edging gives me, it is actively taunting my every waking moment and is well beyond a mere distraction.

I have gone months without any sexual stimulation (solo or with my partner) and that results in frustration and unfulfilled desire that morphs into everything feeling rather flat. I wonder, as you said, if edging is so effective in reaching my pleasure centers that my dopamine system it permanently messed up. Resets of trying to keep it offline do not work. Once I give in and decide to have at it, the edging sessions go even longer now and they end up being much more intense. Once that happens, I’m back on the edging train and it feels so much better than almost anything.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. You have given me a new perspective (edging is very much like a drug) and I do not feel as alone in my struggle. I hope you find a solution for your situation. I have not, but now I am going to try again. Thank you.

Peace

How to deal with blue ball? On my day 2 edging without cum. I tried to edge for whole week.
Good question. I'm on the same mission, tomorrow is the last day of the experiment. Since I have an unexpected day off today I used the better part of the day to masturbate and stay hard and aroused. Well, I can say that my balls are hurting now :). I think I will take the short route and cum this evening.

Ended up I cum on that day. Blue ball seriously pain. I just started another one week edging without cum today. I tried to shorten the edging session from 1/1.5 hr to 15 mins each day. See whether it’s feasible

I guess the body will get used to it. Well, I ended with five suppressed orgasms before I finally finished. It was a bit exhausting, but also feels very good. Oh, and I will do it again next week.

I would edge before i knew what that was, at 19 i would just slow down and enjoy the internet LOL. I would not even touch myself at first. Then i would feel this wet spot in my underwear, only at that point would i start stroking. Always a good time lol .

Whether by myself or with someone, edging is the only sex I have. I haven't done anal or oral in 6 years.

I don't know if that's healthy. But I love that edging lasts hours whereas sex lasts 20 mins tops. Also there's no prep other than showering, and no need to worry about diseases.

My only worry is that I will ruin by ability to have sex should I choose to do so in the future. But for now I don't miss it.
