Edging

Edging is a practice that involves approaching the tipping point of orgasm, then stopping or reducing stimulation just before, before resuming, sometimes several times in a row. The goal is to prolong pleasure, learn to better perceive your sensations, and, for some, to modulate the moment of orgasm. Practiced solo or with a partner, edging calls for attentiveness and communication. It can also be a tool for getting to know your arousal and your threshold better. Like any practice, it is experienced without pressure for an outcome and with respect for each person’s wishes.
