How to Use Sex Toys to Enhance Your Edging Experience

1 ) Pick the toy you ’ d like to use . Whatever toys you normally like can be great for this . If you don ’ t have toys quite yet and want to try some fun ones , check out these toys for penises and these toys for clitorises . Strokers are particularly excellent for edging with penises .
Tenga makes a host of amazing penis-focused strokers that are actually really elegant . “ Using a male masturbator like the Tenga 3D Spiral or Tenga Eggs alone or with a partner can assist you in finding your exact ‘ stroke count ,’” says Taylor Sparks , erotic educator and founder of Organic Loven . “ Male masturbators come with all types of stimulating nodules on the inside to assist you in getting to your edge faster than just using your hands . Male vibrators ’ like the Fun Factory Manta or Hot Octpuss Jett can be used hands-free . [ They ] essentially do all the work for you and you only need to turn it on and off via the remote control .”
2 ) Get your high quality lube and put it on your toy and penis / clitoris / vulva . Be sure your lube is water-based , as silicone toys are not compatible with silicone lubes .
3 ) If you haven ’ t used this toy before , practice getting used to it before moving into edging . Sex toys offer the ability to feel pleasure in an entirely new way . You can explore different angels , intensities , and physical sensations .
4 ) Once you feel grounded in your connection with your sex toy , go back up to the “ solo ” edging practice and repeat steps 3-6 .
5 ) Repeat 3 times . 6 ) Next , start again and let yourself reach your peak . 7 ) Let go and enjoy your orgasm !
Even if you don ’ t struggle with premature ejaculation , edging can yield some serious benefits . It helps you become more acquainted with your own body and desires , and it can be a major turn-on for your partner as well .
“ Creating a connection is something couples don ’ t do much these days ,” says Alys . “ Edging is a really great practice that we encourage , and being able to take control of your partner ’ s experience and pleasure can create exciting , connected , mindful sessions of pleasure .”
