Well, years ago I didn't know that P was an addiction. I saw that I couldn't stop masturbating on a daily bases and I thought I was addicted to masturbation. In an attempt to quit masturbation, I started edging, because I said that as long as I didn't O, I was safe, not knowing that I shouldn't have watched P and I shouldn't have edged either. Edging for me became a way to turn myself on but I have periods of time (I don't know why) when I can't turn myself on at all, no matter how much edging I'm doing (like last time). I feel completely empty, as if the ability to arouse myself didn't exist at all. That's why I don't always O in the same day after edging when I can't turn myself on as much as I want. I have this obsession with the "biggest high" and when my arousal is not up to this, I don't want to O because this makes me feel like the urges will go away and I won't be able to get my best high tomorrow. I don't know, it's complicated. But I eventually O anyway, even if it comes after a few days, out of frustration and impatience. Even if it seems like my brain enjoys the edging more, the O is still the ultimate goal for us.Josh_ said:I have tried edging for three years and simply found that it doesn't work. I go back to the O in PMO again and again. Maybe different for you, but I find it's impossible to start at M and not reach O, so I don't masturbation to begin with and I do suggest the same for you.
Well, you know what I mean by "no overdose in porn". It doesn't kill you like injecting more heroin than you should and dropping dead. That's what I mean. At least I don't know anybody who literally dropped dead after PMO. But who knows. I can PMO like 7 times a day, I just don't continue cause I can't anymore, I'm completely exhausted but I can't kill myself. Near death experience from PMO can't scare me. Sometimes I just wish I could overdose on PMO.I also find that you claim that there is no overdose in pornography use. I beg to differ. At the height of my 12 year addiction to porn I was using porn 3-4 hours a day for maybe 3 months straight. I was lonely, as you constantly post, and committed a detrimental parasuicide where I barely escaped death. Now, one might feel that using porn doesn't instantly cause death - say like alcohol use. But, we all here can acknowledge that alcohol use is through the digestive tract and our problem with porn is through the eyes, primarily. Seeing that these two are very different, it's easy to see that, indeed, porn use has a different overdose type than a brick and mortar addiction like alcohol. After using the computer daily for 4 hours, I had such low self esteem (a side effect attributable to addictive porn use), that I thought I be better off dead. This, to me, is an overdose of the substance if there is a clear pattern of use porn and them immediately want to not exist, loneliness, whatever descriptor you want to put there.
