What Are Some Edging Techniques?
1. Start & Stop
Stop stimulation when you’re close to an orgasm. Relax then resume again.
2. Stop & Squeeze (penis-owners)
When you’re about to orgasm, squeeze just below the head of your penis and stop. Then resume stimulation again.
3. Speed Combination (vulva-owners)
Start slow with rhythmic stokes along the labia. Mix in some fast strokes or circular motions on the clit. Add variation with the different patterns and intensities on a sex toy! When you’re about to orgasm, slow down, relax and then repeat.
