My body hates edging but loves chastity! Weird... But Why?

So, I've been puzzled by this and it's starting to bug me a bit and I was hoping some veteran chastity participants and hardcore T&D players might have an idea or 2 as to what's going on with me... Here's what confuses me:

Earlier this year, I decided to make some changes in my life (nothing's wrong, just looking for improvement overall), so one thing I noted was that I've been a compulsive masturbator since I hit puberty (jerking off several times per day - literally every day), because I'm hypersexual. That's really not a good thing, so I decided to do something about it and be more productive at my PC.

Mid this year of 2023, I tried simply not touching myself at all when watching porn or stumbling onto a sexual trigger while browsing online. All that did was trigger a frenzy of hands-free edging and endless erections. On the 5th day of this "practice run", my balls went from really achy to very painful and my pelvis went from sore to seriously cramping to the point of where it took some real effort to get out of my chair... This pain didn't begin to subside until after I called off this practice and jerked off to get a much-needed release. After I released I could feel the pain in my pelvis and my balls immediately begin to subside. An hour later, it was gone completely.

A couple months later, I jumped into the deep end and ordered a CB6000S cock cage and I've been "experimenting" on myself with various locking times. BUT, there hasn't been any pain at all. I'm now on day 19 of my longest lockup and still no pain, just blissful frustration and a mild but pleasant little ache in my balls (the kind I love).

When I was attempting a No-touch run, my body objected outright and forced me to stop with the pain it caused. However, in chastity things are totally different for me... When I'm locked up and watch porn, my body seems to be telling me "More, please? More?". After 19 days locked up, I get these urges a few times every day to tease myself and make myself wanna cum, but as I described, there's no pain upon denying myself orgasm. And I seem to have alot more energy and I feel like I'm in my 20's all over again.

This seems really weird to me... Why would my body love chastity but hate edging? I thought the 2 went hand-in-hand.
