Edging is a masturbation technique for intentionally stopping, or reducing, stimulation right before reaching the point of no return, with the goal of delaying orgasm. If you are a fan of teasing or of experiencing the sensation of desperately wanting something and it being tantalizingly just beyond reach, edging might be for you. And you'll probably mind blown when you reach orgasm.

Edging, also known as peaking or surfing (and sometimes orgasm control), can be practiced solo and/or with a partner. It requires an awareness of your signs of arousal, or that of a partner, to perform successfully and can promote mindfulness and body awareness. The use of this technique can truly add spice to your sex life. Please note that edging is different from “edge play,” which is a BDSM term for testing one’s limits and boundaries.
