How This 'Edging' Trick Can Seriously Improve Your Orgasms

If you're up for making your orgasms longer, more intense and just generally, better, than 'edging' may be right up your street.

Edging is the term used for a very specific technique, whether you're masturbating or a partner is doing it to you. If you're ridin' solo, it requires you to bring yourself to the point of orgasm and then, just, stop. I know, it sounds hard because when you get to that point it can feel impossible not to let yourself go. But it's totally worth exercising a little bit of self control. Why? Because when you do that orgasm is going to feel even better, longer-lasting and more intense.

You may have heard of orgasm denial, which sounds kinda similar but actually takes place over a sustained period of time (some people manage it for MONTHS). Don't worry - edging requires much less restraint than that.

Annabelle Knight, sex expert for ONE Condoms, explains, "It’s takes a surprisingly short amount of time to become proficient in edging, after a few short sessions in a few days you’ll find the quality of your orgasm improves. Most women [and people with vaginas] never look back after discovering edging." So here are Annabelle's tips on how to edge like a pro.

1. Know your 'point of no return' (PNR)

The point of no return (PNR) is the point in which arousal meets orgasm. It’s important that you learn to read your body and know when this point occurs in order for you to stop stimulation.

Most women and people who have vulvas find their breathing becomes sharper, their movements more mechanical and that all their attention is focused on their genitals. At this point it’s important to stop all activity and let your body rest for a minute or two, until it returns to a more normal state.

Be sure to use lots of lube, so your fingers glide pleasurably over your clit.

Once your sexual energy has subsided, you can continue with your session. Repeat this process for as long as you can - three or four times should do it - but it’s worth noting that the longer you practice the better your end result will be.


2. Go it alone

I wouldn’t recommend using a sex toy for edging practice unless you find it takes you a very long time to reach your PNR without one. Some people with vulvas like to use small flat paintbrushes as the bristles provide a unique form of stimulation when continually stroked over the clitoris. This sensation lends itself to edging really well.

But, if you're after something a little more... vibratey, a wand vibrator is a really good shout. They're super powerful, but can be used on a low rumbly setting - and the large head (don't worry, it's just for external use) means your entire vulva, labia, the whole deal, gets involved and creates a fuller orgasm when you do come.

3. Put in the work

Edging is really great but like anything worthwhile, takes practice and patience. Lots of people who try it fall at the first hurdle, and this is down to one simple fact; orgasms are great and it’s hard to say no to one when it’s knocking at your door.

But if you keep at it, the results will 100 per cent be worth it.
