There are three reasons that “edging” is even worse during NoFap and quitting porn than PMO.
- EDGING IS STILL ADDICTIVE
Edging is highly addictive because it still produces the dopamine hit that you get from watching porn, but in a more harmful way. In the end, you’re not beating the porn addiction, but just replacing one addiction for another. - EDGING IS A JUSTIFICATION TO WATCH PORN
People often edge because they want the experience of watching porn without the guilt associated with masturbating. Therefore, they make excuses and justifications to just watch porn with out masturbating. Again, the addiction is still there and even worse because it’s a PROLONGED state of addictive behavior. - EDGING TAKES A LOT FROM YOU
All of the benefits of NoFap, semen retention, and quitting porn goes out the window when you edge. If you’re edging, you’re still consuming time, focus, and energy on something that is not good for you.
