Orgasm control is something that all men and women alike strive to master, however many of us never quite get there. It’s a difficult endeavor to stay in control of our orgasms, especially when our partner is stimulating us in all the right places. Luckily, there’s a practice referred to as “edging” that can help you gain better control over your orgasms, resulting in more intense and longer-lasting orgasms.
Edging is an orgasm control technique that involves prolonging your sexual arousal in order to get to the peak of your orgasm and then halting the stimulation before you ejaculate. This can be done manually or with the help of sex toys. The goal is to create short bursts of pleasure that you allow yourself to enjoy, but not enough to completely cross over into the point of no return. This not only gives you more control over the orgasm itself, but the sensations experienced can also become more intense. By edging before orgasm, the intensity of the final orgasm is thought to be more powerful and long-lasting.
If done with a partner, communication is key for successful edging. Both partners need to be aware of exactly what they’re doing, as well as how far they’ve gone. During edging, it’s recommended to switch between different types and intensity of stimulation in order to maintain the sexual arousal without going over the edge. Regular breaks should also be taken, wherein both partners can talk about their experience and overall pleasure level.
For those practicing solo, some of the recommended tips include slow arousal, paying close attention to the level of arousal and body position. If solo edging is your thing, it’s best to start slowly and build up the pace and intensity gradually, so as to to not cross the pleasure threshold too quickly. Paying attention to your body and the heat of your arousal before edging can also be beneficial in gauging just how close you are to going over the edge. Additionally, a good position for solo edging is lying on your back and propping yourself up with pillows to ensure that your body remains comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process.
Edging is a great way to gain better control over your orgasms as well as experience more intense pleasure. By understanding your body’s response to stimulation and listening to your partner’s feedback, you’ll be able to practice edging and be able to enjoy the benefits of better orgasms.
