Curious about edging toys? Of course you are.

Human beings are hardwired to explore, it is an innate trait embedded in our DNA. We are always curious to discover new things; our ancestors stood curiously at the openings of caves and walked tirelessly for thousands of miles to tread new paths, discover new lands, and seek new worlds. What is often overlooked throughout history however is the exploration of one’s self, particularly sexuality.

Fortunately today, more and more people are opening their minds (and body) to this kind of discovery. Technology and the internet are the strong driving forces behind this too; more and more studies on different methods, techniques, and tools are being made for sexual exploration. One of the most popular subjects for this is the practice of edging – a mind-boggling way of taking orgasm to a whole new level.

If you are looking to take the pleasure and satisfaction of orgasm to the next level, whether solo or with your partner, then this entry is for you. Here is everything you need to know about edging and all the best sex toys you can use to reach it anytime and every time you want it.

While edging is both for men and women, this entry will primarily focus on men. 

What Is Edging And Why You Should Try It?

First off, edging (better known as peaking, teasing, or surfing), is the practice of stretching sexual stimulation to prolong orgasm, but stopping before the point of ejaculation, and then starting again. You may be wondering, why would anyone do this. Well, this intense cycle of on-and-off stimulation greatly increases the effects of sexual stimulation to a whole different level above normal orgasm.

Basically, it is orgasm control; the method is about stopping yourself from reaching peak orgasm right on the “edge” of a metaphorical cliff sexual climax, waiting for things to settle down and subside a little bit, and then buildup all over again. And if desired (with practice), the whole cycle can be repeated as many times as possible, making way for a more powerful orgasm.

Though this technique was originally thought of as a way for men to last longer (specifically designed for men who suffer from premature ejaculation), anyone can benefit from edging. Regardless of your identity and sexual orientation, you can absolutely practice and enjoy the benefits of edging. As a matter of fact, there are countless sex toys and pleasure products out there designed specifically to help you achieve, prolong orgasm, and delay climax, both for solo to sex with a partner. There are male sex toys like wireless and hands free male masturbators, cock rings (and vibrating cock rings), prostate massagers, and female masturbators like sonic waves stimulators, G spot stimulators, dildos with varying intensity of vibration settings and various speeds, etc.

Whether you go solo or you do the deed with your partner, edging pays off big from a pleasure standpoint. It makes sex longer by extending orgasm and making you feel the intense sensations a lot more. 

Why Does Edging Feel So Good?

Think about it, whether you are with your partner or doing it on your own (while watching a porn video, etc.), there will be a lot of teasing going on. Teasing is a method of making you want more, as the blood rushes to your sensitive area. As soon as this sensation hits you, your need to reach your climax is at an all-time high. Now imagine prolonging and stretching that feeling by focusing on more genital play; the more you push your partner (or yourself) to the metaphorical edge of climax, the more intense and powerful your orgasm will be. Edging allows you to get to the point as much as you want.

Why Do Edging?

Understanding how edging can affect (and increase) orgasm is the best way to answer this question. 

It makes sex so much better

Edging gives you the power to explore your sexual pleasure as much as you want, for as long as you want, and finish anytime you want. It opens you up to a whole new level of sexual experience by helping you understand body better and turn it on when it comes to pleasure.

The International Society of Sexual Medicine explained how edging can increase the intensity of orgasm for both solo and sex with a partner. According to a 2014 study, women who regularly satisfy themselves are more likely to reach orgasm during sex with a partner.

Edging increases the intensity of orgasm (for women) and sexual stamina (for men), making sex last longer and feel way better. 

It can treat common performance problems in men

Nothing can be more frustrating, not just among men, but in sexual partners than failing to perform. Common men sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation are often treated by practicing edging.

It improves self-awareness

Since the practice requires you to be more aware of your body and what you (and your partner) are feeling, you become more present and mindful of the moment. This helps boost body confidence and allows people both out and in relationships to tune into their body’s sexual responses.

How do you do edging?

So, how exactly do you stop yourself from getting pushed all the way to the edge and off the cliff? Well, there are a lot of ways, and there are steps to get into the mood. However, this entry will focus on the tools to help you explore your body’s sexual responses – the edging toys.

Edging Guide for Men

There is a good chance you have been masturbating long enough, if not, then you are definitely lying. With that said, you should already know what works and what doesn’t when doing solo. The stroking method gets you there while squeezing (some prefer twisting) helps you delay it, right? Well, that’s the most fundamental idea of edging.

Squeezing the head of your penis just before you reach climax is the easiest way to nip orgasm in the bud. Do it for about 30 seconds before getting back to action again. You can do this as many times as you like.

If you want to learn how to avoid premature ejaculation, then you should try ballooning. Before we get any further, it is important to note that premature ejaculation is actually pretty common. As a matter of fact, 1 out of 3 men will experience this phenomenon at some point in their lifetime. So yes, no need to make it a bigger deal than it actually is, as you are definitely not alone.

Getting back to it, to perform ballooning, simply rub the most sensitive spot of your penis in a circular motion. Continue to stimulate your penis past erection until you feel the urge to climax. Then stop and wait for the erection to subside. Then, rub it again. The goal of ballooning is not to orgasm, but to increase your sexual desire (libido), which will potentially improve stamina.

Sex Toys are for everyone

It’s already 2022, whatever your sexual orientation, there should be no stigma about using sex toys anymore. With that said, whether you have a penis or a vagina, a sex toy is your friend when it comes to edging.

Before diving into the rabbit hole, understand that there is no perfect sex toy. What works magic for others may not be that effective for you. The key to exploring is trial and error. You may have to play with a couple of sex toys or more to find the right sex toy for you.  

For this entry, however, we will focus on the best male sex toys in the market for edging.

Tips For Better Edging (and enjoy your edging toys)

Don’t be afraid to switch it up

You don’t actually have to stick to one sex toy, you can have as many different types as you want. Different toys, especially those specifically made for edging, can provide different stimulation and orgasm. Don’t be afraid to try out new things and experiment.

Moreover, switch up your positions from time to time too. You probably beat your meat in one position, something you have been accustomed to all your life. But you don’t have to stick to that position for the rest of your life. Rather than just lying back, you can stand up (and vice versa). You can elevate your hips by putting a pillow under you. Changing positions will help exercise your pelvic floor muscles, which can eventually help the blood flow to your junk.

You can also play with different stroke speeds and grips; slow it down from time to time, squeeze your penis, etc. Changing these things will help you it better, especially when start feeling desensitized to your own.

The Takeaway

The key to fruitful edging is the anticipation that buildups the orgasm into one huge explosion. You may not get it the first time, but you can practice your way to it and become better over time.

Also, when using toys, make sure you clean them every after use. This should be a no-brainer, but many people are so incredibly lazy that they toss their toys away and end up with a yucky mess. Each toy has a different cleaning instruction, make sure you read and follow them to the dot. Different materials require different cleaning. Most sex toys can be cleaned using a sex toy cleaner. Invest in those cleaners, they can help your toys last longer.
