Ah orgasms. The glorious rise and fall of the beautiful hormonal cascade that follows sexual arousal. The knee-shaking, earth-quaking, leg twitching after-effects of a beautiful session in the sack – or wherever you choose to get it on. That peak feeling of human ecstasy and connection that feels almost transcendent at times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, what if you drag that feeling on, backing up as you approach the \u201cfinish line\u201d, and reapproaching it again and again. That my dear is called the art of edging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Edging?<\/b><\/p>\n

Mastering edging can take some self-control and practice, but over time, you may find your orgasms becoming increasingly stronger and more intense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Edging is slowing down or backing off a little as you get close to orgasming, then coming back to that point again and again before eventually going over the edge. Edging can be done no matter what sort of reproductive organs you have, although it may be easier for people with vaginas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Edging can be done whether you\u2019re having sex with someone else or masturbating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blissful Buildup\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

This method treats sex (again by yourself or with someone else), as a beautiful process or ritual that you can take your time with. The blissful buildup that accumulates inside through edging allows you to feel more sensations as they ripple out through your body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The general idea behind edging for people with vaginas is that this buildup creates stronger orgasms. While this may not be true for everyone, there\u2019s nothing wrong with experimenting and finding new ways to explore and experience your body and pleasure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Do It<\/b><\/p>\n

Like anything having to do with sexuality, edging can look different for different people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It may be easier to practice edging by yourself, before incorporating the technique with a partner. If you are edging with a partner, you can try doing it together by approaching orgasm and falling back in tandem with one another. This involves a lot of communication, both verbally and non-verbally. It\u2019s helpful to chat about doing this before things get hot and heavy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, these tips are for you to utilize when masturbating, however they can totally be done with a partner(s) as well!<\/span><\/p>\n

If this is new to you, it can help to start with what\u2019s familiar. How do you usually reach orgasm?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
