Can Edging Make You Last Longer? – Guide To Edging
- Edging is a part of “Orgasm Control”.
- It can be performed individually or with a partner(s), and requires only a few simple steps!
- Edging can delay sexual gratification and make your orgasms even more satisfying.
What is Edging?
Edging is a practice where people (with any genitals!) stop stimulation just before they reach their orgasm. This is thought to increase sexual gratification and the intensity of the orgasm when they finally reach it.
But how exactly can one “edge” and does this actually help in any way?
A Few Notes...
- Who Can Edge? – Although frequently practiced more among people who have penises, anyone can edge. Furthermore, it does not have to be a solo-experience! Have a partner? Let them know that you’re interested in trying this out, and experiment in the bedroom. After all, curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back!
- Is Edging Bad For Health? – While Edging for an unusually large amount of time can lead to a minor condition known as “Epididymal Hypertension” (a.k.a. Blue Balls), this is usually self-resolving. There are no harmful side-effects of Edging!
- Is Edging The Opposite Of Premature Ejaculation? – Premature Ejaculation is a health condition where penis-owners cannot voluntarily control their orgasms, thus leading to early climaxes. Edging is a voluntary form of delaying orgasms to make them more pleasurable when you decide to reach the climax. So no, these two are not related! Read more on Ejaculatory Disorders here.

How Can I Edge?
- Step 1: Set the mood – This can include lighting, playing music, setting up the scene for BDSM play. This can also include simple things like wearing an outfit that makes you feel confident, having a satisfying meal, and other activities that make you look forward to the experience!
- Step 2: Build the arousal – Follow what works best for you (and your partner). Begin with foreplay, be verbal, and stimulate the areas that work best!
- Step 3: Keep going until you feel it, and stop! – Stop your stimulus, and take a breather. Maybe switch to a different part of the body, and restart.
- Step 4: Keep repeating this process until you’re ready to let go! Let your orgasm take over.
Post the aftercare, take a moment to reflect on your experience. Was it what you expected? Would you try it again? What would you do differently? Pondering these questions can let you decide if Edging is for you.
Don’t hesitate to admit if it didn’t feel that great, and ensure to let your partner know. It’s completely okay to feel overwhelmed and withdraw at any time!
