Does edging cause problems or any side effects?

Edging is another name for prolonged orgasm, like i answerd you one of your other posts. I wouldn't do it over a long period of time tho, for example, masterbating yourself to "just about there" then stopping, then starting over a period of days without an actual orgasm.
I read that things things can get "backed up" so to speak and could cause some complications down the road. It's okay to do it, but make sure you finish yourself off at the same time.

I've practiced edging occasionally for years (when time and privacy allows) and never suffered any ill effects. If you can hold off for several hours you'll experience an orgasm of mind altering intensity. You'll also need some towels handy because the amount of ejaculate will probably surprise you. I always release at the end of each 'session' and never prolong it overnight or over a period of days. You will probably reach a point where you can't stand it anyway and just have to finish yourself off.

By definition, edging means slowing or stopping before reaching that "point of no return" where ejaculation is inevitable. With a little experience, most men can tell when they're coming upon on it... and with more practice, they can stop in time.

Sometimes, you coast past the point, even though you meant to stop... (and this is why promises to a partner that you'll withdraw in time can be meaningless.)

I've never heard of any report of being "backed up" from this practice of edging. And, I've not experienced anything I recall as "mindblowing orgasm" from practicing it. (I think building to the orgasm without edging is a stronger climax than delaying it several times... but that may be just me. Certainly, some people will experience an ache or blue balls from extended edging... but that's nothing that lasts nor would be serious.)

If a male were to be "backed up" somehow from this practice, I would think it would clear itself either in a "wet dream" or immediately upon the next orgasm.

Anyone else care to weigh in on the value or risks of "edging?"

I stand corrected. (sort of)..Quitting stimulation just before orgasm to retain the heightened energy is rare, but doing it over an extended period of time could lead to pelvic congestion. This condition can be had in both men and women. The slang term is called blue balls. So Kirk, your correct and i shall stand corrected, but..........
Another form of edging is to apply pressure on the spot located half way between the scrotum and anus just before ejaculating. This technique can re direct semen into the bladder. Long term use of this type of edging can cause damage to the nerves and blood vessels in the peri area.

what do you mean when you say "backed up"? can you please explain?

when you say "backed up", what do you mean exactly? can you please explain?

what you say "backed up", what do you mean? can you please explain? i would really appreciate it if you tell me.......thank you!!!!!

try kegling it's an exorcise that helps you last longer, by exorcizing the PC an BC muscle, I cant really explain how to do it in detail so google it an learn. It really works an no harmfull (long term or short term) side effects there is 1 good one tho, if you do the reverse kegling and you do it right it should make your penis rock hard (harder then usual) but it makes u cum way faster then usual, best used for masturbating, but if u manage to mix in edging with the reverse kegling you can make it last longer.

I am an enthusiastic edger and much prefer a long masturbation session to short ones, when I get the chance. I regularly wank for four or five hours and my record is about 7 I think.  I find that the longer I wank, the lesser the intensity of feeling my orgasm will be, but it's not a straight line thing, ie after a couple of hours or so if I were to cum it would be more intense than a quick wank but if I keep going the intensity of feeling will drop off.  but the amount of semen I ejaculate builds the longer I go.  BUT - the edging itself feels amazing once you've been at it for a couple of hours.  AND - I always have at least four orgasms each time - I mean, once the initial orgasm is done, I keep stroking and have three or four more one after the other.  the second or third time feels more intense than the first.  From what I believe, not many guys do that, but it's very very worth trying because you'll often get the 'mindblowing' orgasm that you're after if you can do it over and over like that. 

Ever since I was a young boy IE: 5th grade, I've been an avid once a day masturbator. At that age I'd stroke till it felt good (orgasm) with no ejaculation (lack of physical maturity). Does maturbation hurt us physically, I haven't seen any results or heard of any ill effects to it as yet. I read earlier about a man turning 50 losing or a major reduction in the urge or want to masturbate. Well I'm here to tell you at age 58, it's a drive that is still going strong. I have a 26 year old GF that keeps me going! Guys there is a saying, "use it, or lose it". When in fact I know you won't lose it, but the idea of keeping the preverbial pipes open sure is an incentive. The thing is to keep yourself active! Eat right and get the rest you need. Still at it at 58 by hand and thru intercourse! So take heart young men, life isn't over at 50. Keep as healthy as possible and active as much as you can. I still Masturbate every night and I do edge! Let me tell you I do understand the intensity of orgasm when you edge. I also have experienced the "blue Balls" effect if you edge long periods, also if you cum and keep on masturbating, although the ejaculate will decrease don't let that fool you into thinking it's not worth it. The intensive orgasm you feel only increases with each climax. It takes longer to climax each time but if you Climax 3 times or more you feel like you want to climb out of your skin! (that's in the best way possible btw). My GF hasn't a problem with it, she knows it just gets me hornier for when we get together, plus she like to jack me off too. As for the volume of cum . . . fast orgasm . . . normal, edge orgasm . . . better have spread out a couple of towels for distance! Anyhow, the short of it is, you want to masturbate, go for it! It won't physically hurt you. But if you feel bad about it, talk to someone and take care of the underlying inhibition that is getting in the way. On that note, happy wanking guys and girls. Yes Girls too. They can edge as well.  

I`m 25 and one time recently I edged about 55 times over the period of three weeks. After about 3 or 4 days tho blue balls became an inevitable part of my session, so i would just do it at night and go to sleep with them. By morning I felt normal, actually seemed quite a bit more energetic the next day! After day 10 my prostate would hurt whenever I got blue balls. At the end the pain caused by it was such that one could lay and go to sleep but unable to do anything else. At first touch by either myself or my GF my balls and prostate turned (bright blue) so to speak. Even to look at her I`d get aroused, which was normal, but I`d get blue balls from it. When i finally came ,first of all I had LOTS&LOTS of precum, the volume of the main load was good but not great. My balls and prostate were so sore! Also with each squirt of cum my prostate felt like it had burst ;( I oozed cum for half an hour afterward unable to move. In the end i'm glad i tried it but wouldn't go that far next time. Just wait a month without touching yourself or cumming in anyother way. Then try!!!! The results will amaze you!!!!

I have been reading about prolonged (3 days or so) edging for awhile, and I don't see much on it. I am concerned about side effects, as I'm over 65, and I'm concerned about problems it could cause to my prostate, etc. (esp. cancer and related problems). Anybody know any good medical-qualified answers to this?

Edging can cause severe side effects (judging from my experience). I've been struggling with this for at least 2 years as it was my favourite thing to do. Well, what can I say - it absolutely destroyed my character and turned me into this bad version of my self. After each edging session I feel like a different man.. for the worse. Hell, I even broke up with my girlfriend because I was in a "no-feeling" period. After I abstained for 3-4 days I remember being remorseful about it and after just 1 edging session I again became this hardcore guy without feelings. It definitely messed up with my brain and I found this yesterday which kind of confirmed what I've been facing all along. 

I've taken it upon myself to warn you all guys. Just flat out don't do it!To sum it up - it is very, very, very harmful. At least in my experience.

I enjoy edging a lot and might be addicted to the endorphin's in the blood and the feeling that it gives. I have wondered whether there was any adverse effect on the prostate of keeping this feeling of being turned on for 2 or 3 days before having a release. Mind you I am not talking about a constant state of excitement for that long for on and off as occasion permits. I have found that the body has its own way of releasing the excess accumulation of semen via "wet dreams" if you will and yet I wonder if there is some adverse effect of all this on the prostate.
