How to Use Edging to Make Sex Even Better , According to Experts

It has plenty of benefits including helping you last longer in bed .
You ’ ve probably heard of “ edging ” as a way to increase the strength of your orgasms . If you repeatedly bring yourself close to climax and then abruptly cut off stimulation , the big finale — when you finally go through with it — will feel even better . It ’ s a slow burn that amplifies your nerve endings tenfold .
But the benefits of edging go far beyond stronger orgasms . Did you know it can help you maneuver certain bedroom concerns , including premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction ? Edging can also help you intimately connect with your partner during sex . Sometimes , we become so focused on climaxing that we ’ re not fully present in the moment . Edging deemphasizes orgasm , while still emphasizing pleasure . ( This is great , because most female-bodied orgasms have very little to do with long-lasting erections , anyway .)
Edging is about the connection to your body and learning what feels good beyond run-of-the-mill intercourse , according to Kenneth Play , an international sex hacker and creator of the Sex Hacker Pro Series . This can help you reframe sex entirely . “ Once [ people ] gain this kind of awareness and control , they can expand this to other aspects of sex , and it can be really beneficial for them and their lover ( s ),” he says .
If you ’ ve been struggling with premature ejaculation , erectile dysfunction , or an inability to focus during sex — or you simply want to have stronger orgasms , because who among us doesn ’ t ?— then it might be time to try edging .
