Edging, also known as peaking or surfing, is a sexual technique that involves controlling the timing of orgasm. It can be practiced alone or with a partner and entails maintaining a high level of sexual arousal for an extended period without reaching climax. The technique commonly involves masturbating up until the moment before reaching the plateau phase just before orgasm occurs, and then stopping suddenly before experiencing a climax. Another technique, known as surfing, involves reaching the plateau phase and slowing down the stimulation to maintain a heightened level of sensation for an extended time).
Edging is a method of stretching out how long it takes to reach orgasm, for one or both partners. It is a safe and healthy way to explore sex and can increase satisfaction, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. It can be practiced alone or during sex with a partner and may focus on one or both partners. Edging can also be used to increase communication and intimacy between partners. The technique involves stopping stimulation before reaching orgasm, waiting for a short period, and then stimulating again, repeating until ready to orgasm.
There are several reasons why people may try edging. It can make sexual activity last longer, provide increased opportunity for individuals or sexual partners to explore their sexuality, and allow for more intense orgasms. Edging is a safe sexual practice that may have benefits for some individuals and couples. However, it is important to have a conversation with a sexual partner before practicing edging, as it may not be of interest to everyone.
Edging allows individuals to experience more intense orgasms and may help make sex last longer for both partners. It promotes mindfulness and keeps the mind focused on a specific goal, providing better control of the body and allowing for a more intense experience of pleasure. However, it is important to communicate properly with a partner about edging to avoid potential interference with the satisfaction of the sexual partner and personal distress.
