Edging has entered the chat. This practice is turning heads and transforming sex lives around the globe - not to mention the many many memes. Want in? We’ve got you. Understanding edging, why it’s basically life-changing, and how to do it right is just a short read away. So, let’s get down to it, shall we?

So, What is Edging?

At its core, edging is a sexual technique that involves bringing yourself or your partner to the brink of orgasm repeatedly without actually allowing complete climax. It’s a delicate dance with desire, where you build up to the point of orgasm only to… Stop. Right. There.

You might be thinking “ Wait, isn’t the point of this to climax?” Yes, but better. Edging will drive you absolutely wild in the best way possible.  This intentional delay not only heightens the eventual release but also deepens your connection to your own body and your partner.

Rooted in ancient tantric practices, edging has blossomed into a beloved modern sexual practice celebrated for its ability to enhance intimacy, boost sexual control, and elevate overall pleasure. Whether you’re flying solo or teaming up with a partner, edging invites you to push the boundaries of your pleasure with mindfulness and intention.

The Perks of Edging

So, why should you give edging a try? These are the juicy benefits.

Earth-Shattering Orgasms

Edging builds up sexual tension, making the eventual release a full-blown, toe-curling event. This offers a heightened sense of pleasure that’s not typically found through conventional sex.

Supercharged Sensitivity

Paying close attention to your body’s responses during edging literally upgrades your pleasure sensors. Edging naturally boosts blood flow to the genitals, keeping you in a state of extreme arousal. This increased circulation not only prepares your body for a more potent orgasm but also ramps up sensitivity. More oxygen and nutrients flood your nerves makes every touch feel electric.

Lasting Longer

Edging helps men combat premature ejaculation. How? Regular edging boosts your sexual stamina, enabling you to last longer during sex. It basically conditions your body the same way exercise does.

Enhanced Intimacy

Edging is the ultimate relationship hack for leveling up intimacy. By hitting the pause button on orgasming, you and your partner can sync up on a deeper level by anticipating each other's every move. This intentional delay sparks a sensual dance of vulnerability, trust, and communication. 

How to Practice Edging

Are you ready to incorporate edging into your routine? Here’s how to get started.

1. Pay Close Attention

Being in tune with your body’s signals as you approach the point of orgasm is the secret to all this. Notice the subtle shifts in your breathing, heart rate, and muscle tension. Being present in the moment is key to successfully delaying the climax.

2. Stop or Change Stimulation

As you approach the edge, it’s time to fine-tune your stimulation strategy. Think about pausing stimulation altogether, slowing things down, switching up positions, or introducing some lighter touches. The goal? To keep those pleasurable sensations flowing smoothly without tipping over into full-blown orgasm. It’s all about maintaining that sweet spot where the excitement stays high but doesn’t quite reach the peak.

The Squeeze Method

One popular technique is the squeeze method. When you’re close to orgasm, gently squeeze the base of your penis or the area between your genitals and anus. This nifty maneuver reduces arousal just enough to prevent ejaculation, allowing you to prolong the experience.

3. Practice Solo and with a Partner

Edging can be a solo adventure or a collaborative experience with a partner. When practicing with a partner, open communication is essential. As your partner guides you toward the point of orgasm, give them a signal to hold back just before you climax.

4. Experiment with Different Stimulations

By shaking up your routine, you'll discover what drives you (and your partner) wild. Whether it’s incorporating different touches, exploring new positions, or using toys, experimenting helps you find out what keeps you in the pleasure zone the longest.

Edging with a Partner

WOO highly recommends taking edging into a partnered setting. Here’s how to make the most of it:

Communicate Openly

Don't skip the most important part – talking it out! Have a candid conversation with your partner about:

• What you want to explore
• What makes you uncomfortable
• What gets you excited

Open communication ensures a mutually enjoyable experience, free from uncertainty.

Take Turns

In edging, giving and receiving are equally essential – and equally pleasurable.  This give-and-take dynamic fosters a deeper connection and ensures you benefit from this sexy practice.

Build Anticipation

Use teasing and playful touches to keep the excitement alive. Like softly tracing the curves of each other's bodies or throwing in some seductive dirty talk. Building anticipation creates irresistible tension and a more profound sense of intimacy and connection.

More Edging Techniques

Once you’ve mastered the basics, you might want to explore more advanced edging techniques to further enhance your sexual experiences:

Breath Control

Sync your breathing with your body's responses, and discover a profound sense of control. As you inhale, tense; as you exhale, release. This harmonious union of breath and desire transforms edging into a meditative experience, but hotter.

Incorporate Mindfulness

Mindfulness will revolutionize your edging practice. By focusing on the intricate dance of sensations, pleasure, and connection, you'll deepen intimacy, enhance sensitivity, and prolong pleasure. Who doesn’t want that?

Introduce Sex Toys

Trust us when we say that using sex toys in your edging routine, like a clitoral vibrator, creates absolute magic. Vibrators, rings, and other devices add a sexy variety of stimulation to help you reach and maintain the edge of orgasm in new ways.

Delayed Gratification Challenges

Edging is about having fun, and what’s more fun than a spicy challenge? Challenge yourself or your partner to delay gratification for progressively longer periods. The reward? The eventual climax builds up in power.

Final Thoughts On Edging

Whether you’re solo or teasing a partner, edging opens the door to a multitude of benefits and sets you up for a sexual experience like no other. From preventing premature ejaculation to forging deeper connections with your partner, edging is a versatile and oh-so-rewarding practice worth exploring.
