Yeah… it’s not
I actually did it myself for several years what your friend did and… I’m glad it works for her. But made no odds to me

I forgot I wrote this but now I think I’m going to try it too. 
It’ll be an interesting experiment if nothing else.

Well I don’t have a penis so I’m gonna let @anon8398376 answer
Or someone else with one who may have practiced it
But there was disagreement with some of the claims made by the SR thread
This thread isn’t exactly agreeing with all the claims made on that one… just trying to observe how we can make things more effective (us women) in much the way those who practice SR feel it benefits them … (even if there’s a huge debate on how it actually benefits them)

There’s so many books I haven’t bothered to read on power of women, moon magick etc… … I’m sure there’s something in it
Worthwhile experiment 
Oh the Egyptian thing.

I don’t want to bite on this conversation publicly anymore. It’s hard to give my opinion without insulting people at this point.
You’ve tried not having sexual stimulation for years. The other posters female friend experienced ‘god mode’. 
All of these ‘god mode’ folks are only that in their own minds. They tend to lead the least balanced lives. Becoming the best at ‘call of duty’ because you’ve repressed 1/3 of human drives (eat, sleep, fuck) and put their time and energy into their hobby isn’t balance.
I can list dozens of examples at this point, and had to delete them as to not personally attack anyone.
The only thing I agree with overall from No Fap is… porn can be very unhealthy and leads to unrealistic expectations in real life and it’s energy you should be putting towards your spouse in a healthy relationship.
If you want me to continue biting on this ask specific questions.

I have been edging since before I knew what it was, sexual preservation leads for a more exciting sex-life or… “self-service” 
It is something I think everyone should try, I would think edging would be easier for women, as we are more psychological and men are more visual, so we can keep sexual thoughts in our minds, but pause from the activity itself and then resume and so on, whereas men rely more pictures and videos to be turned on, sometimes just pictures and videos alone.
Although self-control definitely comes into play, if mastered during something as pleasurable as sex, then it could affect other areas of our lives where we would need to have self-control.
And in general as women, we are used to keeping things IN, our thoughts, our opinions, even how our sexual arousal works, it’s more internal, therefore preserving that sexual energy (which works so well when used in magick, even when the ritual we’re doing isn’t related to anything sexual).
Also, in respect to sex magick, this can keep that sexual energy within the ritual for longer and allow for a greater amount of offerings for things like sigil magick and just offering up sexual fluids in general during ritual.
And if anyone is still reading this comment, for me, edging has definitely helped me personally on an energetic level, as the urge usually controls me, rather than me controlling it and it is something I do anywhere from 4-7 times a week on average and I am almost always drained for at least 10 minutes afterwards, which makes it harder for me to do spells, because it feels as if I am constantly ripping energy out of myself.
It’s a vicious, addictive cycle, that only after 10 years, have I learned to tame.

That’s true of almost everyone though, and to pursue anything to excellence will always be be “imbalanced” - funny no-one calls out entrepreneurs or sports champions for not being “balanced” enough. 
If people wilfully imbalance their lives to train at 4am, or do semen retention, or any other thing, because they like what it gives them, that’s the way of life, most people fit a norm and others will be outliers, and pursue unusual paths for uncommon results.
People die without sleep or food, not without sex, and control of sexual energy, from heightening it to sublimating it, is a classic method of altering spiritual energies, in eastern schools of thought and in the west, with a great many virgins and celibate people attributed miracles after they devoted their sexual (procreative) energies to their spirituality.
(That was during an era when Christianity was in many ways more akin to magick, within a few hundred years of the lives of the apostles and so on, and when Christians were being murdered, including burned alive, in similar numbers to the later witchhunts. The similarities between the persecution of early Christians and later magicians & witches are astonishing, and only ended when the Chruch itself became a mechanism of control, aka a tool of the existing power structure. But that is rather off topic!

Fair they don’t die… sometimes they don’t live as fully as they can though if they wish to
I have never come close to dying without sex, but I have got very bored repressing myself and ignoring desires 
This can’t be 100% true, I’m a women and I’ve noticed I’m very visual when it comes to turn ons/etc. Sure some is psychological but I’ve noticed I have a hard time being turned on unless I got pictures or a video or some other visual thing THAT is NOT my imagination. Since that just doesn’t do it for me.

People individually won’t die, but if we didn’t have sex - our species would die out. So it’s still (on the bigger picture) just as important. It’s an innate drive, however yeah individually you can be celibate your whole life if you chose to. Just if everyone chose to, then our species would be in trouble.
Plus just like eating, drinking, and sleeping - we have body systems/organs to support the function - our bodies are built to.

I’m sure there are exceptions…
Visual is definitely stimulating for me… but just like “hmm okay meh” if I don’t have the psychological first
I think in general men are better at being turned on purely visually
Women better at being turned on purely psychologically
But both of us kinda prefer and need both, and just relying on either is hard to really turn ourselves on perhaps?

Birthrates are collapsing globally, beginning with developed nations, but that’s a different topic I guess.

Birthrates are usually higher in poorer developing countries, then in developed countries. Doesn’t surprise me. It usually levels out.
Well that makes sense a bit of both, I mean if I think about it - I’m still “in my head” or psychologically involved with whatever visual stimulation is involved. I just can’t manage with only psychological… So a bit of both I would assume is normal.
However the visual stimulation usually helps with the psychological - if I don’t have the visual then the psychological is well boring and non-stimulating.
Which is why I find it hard to believe that women are purely psychological while men are visual. I think it’s a bit of both, and maybe one leans more to the other or something.
