Edging is a sexual technique that involves bringing yourself or a partner close to orgasm-the "edge"-and then stopping or reducing stimulation to delay climax. This cycle of stimulation and pause can be repeated multiple times to extend sexual pleasure and often results in a more intense orgasm when it finally occurs
. People use edging for various reasons, including prolonging sexual activity, enhancing orgasm intensity, exploring new ways to touch or stimulate, and managing premature ejaculation. It can be practiced alone or with a partner, and communication is important to ensure comfort and mutual enjoyment
. The practice is generally safe and unlikely to cause harm, and it can be adapted to different preferences and sexual orientations. Techniques like the "pause-squeeze" method are sometimes used, especially by males, to help control ejaculation during edging
. In summary, edging means deliberately delaying orgasm by stopping or changing sexual stimulation just before climax to extend and intensify sexual pleasure
