Edging

As a submissive woman I have really come to love and crave edging. It's an overt way to keep my sexual needs/arousal front and center while keeping orgasm control entirely his.

Women -
  • do you like being edged?
  • Does it matter whether your PYL is edging you directly or if you edge yourself for them?
  • Does it matter if your PYL is in the room/on line/ or not?
  • Do you like being told to edge?
  • How does edging add to or frustrate your sexuality?
  • Does edging increase your sense of submission?
Men/Doms/Dommes -
  • What does making your sub edge do for you?
  • Have you found it to be an effective way to increase connection or submission in your partners?
  • Any tips for others regarding edging? (For connection, management, funishment, punishment, denial etc)
  • How does edging fit into your understanding of orgasm control and or denial?
Inquiring minds want to know all this and more.

Any favorite techniques for edging or toys that work especially well for inducing a very heightened level of arousal but prevent/deny orgasm?

How do you use edging in your personal sexuality or in your power exchange relationships? Tell us about great successes or epic failures. Tell us about creative use of edging. Details! we want details!

Post your response on any of the above that speaks to you. No need to respond to all of it.

I doubt I'll be able to resist chiming in with my own thoughts and experiences. Let's talk about edging in women.

As a male sub, having enjoyed and respected the wisdom of your posts since joining Lit, I will DEFINITELY be following this thread!
 
Thanks for starting this thread! It's one of my very favorite topics.

I really enjoy edging, usually combined with orgasm denial. The combination of orgasm denial with a good amount of edging thrown in the mix can produce the most wonderful headspace for me.

I especially love long(er) term denial and edging. I love having to ask for permission and knowing my orgasms are in someone else's hand rather than my own, literally and figuratively. It's thrilling to hand over control of such a basic urge.

I'm rather prone to overthinking absolutely everything in my life, but when I edge without having an orgasm, after a while I fall into a lovely haze that makes me not overthink quite so much. I exist more, I get a weird, glowy spring in my step, I feel kind of sexy, for the lack of a better word, I feel softer, more willing, more pliant. I like that side of me, it's different to my usual being. I don't think I've ever felt sexy in my life, but orgasm denial and edging for a lengthier period is as close as I'll probably ever come to feeling sexy or feeling desirable for reasons that are not tied to my intellect.

So yeah, edging definitely adds to my sexuality. It's best when it's under someone else's guidance, but I've done it on my own as well. I don't reach the happy, subby, glowy, sexy flow without someone else being involved in the process - mostly because I lack the self control to edge for long enough (I need days) if there's no one telling me I'm not to have an orgasm.

It's easier and more pleasurable for me to do it myself rather than have someone else edging me, mostly because I'm better at staying on the edge myself than I am at communicating to someone else just when to stop or when to have just a little more. I get harder and longer edges if I do it myself, if that makes sense. When someone else edges me, it's good too, but different. I find it becomes more of a quantity game then, though. I can take more and at faster intervals if someone else is in control, because the edges are a little softer, and as a life long orgasm avoider, I've had a lot of practise.

I could ramble on about the topic for hours, but I'll end here.

As a dom both in the past and recently returning to the scene, my favorite of favorites was to either make my sub cum until they hurt and were begging to stop before I penetrated or bringing them to the edge multiple times before allowing them to cum.

Normal rules are for my sub to always seek permission to come, even remotely.

While not the ultimate submission on my particular continuum, my sub's submission and discipline are off the charts with edging and denial. For instance, using my sub's glass toy I like to drive her past the point of no return while forcing her to hold her cum; withholding permission. When I finally allow it, it is so intensive and draining, the discipline is reinforced. This is incredibly submissive and they are rewarded by successfully completing the task.

For tips, in my world and the way I learned about it decades ago, there's a point and a goal to be accomplished. When a sub cums without permission there are consequences but it should NEVER be an excuse to hurt them.

Sometimes it's funishment by holding them by the hair, interrogating them on what they did wrong and nodding or shaking their head if they hesitate in their answer. There might be a light punishment if the problem persists. But I want orgasm control to be productive, the accomplishments sought desirable. Something my sub wants to strive for.

A side effect that's also fun is when their entire system is rewired to a mere touch, bite or even a look can cause them to cum.

Edging is part and parcel with orgasm control and denial. It's used to exercise the discipline and I use it to intensify my sub's climaxes. Both orgasm and orgasm denial can be used as a form of discipline and correction.

Thanks @seela -
I bolded a few bits that especially resonated with me and I feel like I could have written much of that myself. I was hoping you'd add to this thread. I think your thread detailing a year of orgasm denial combined with edging may have been the first time I really considered the topic seriously. (I think it was a year of denial? memory may be blurry). I remember being kind of astounded that you would want that, could tolerate it, etc.

But since that time I've had a lot more experience with edging, orgasm control and denial and I know exactly what you mean about that slightly sexy, buzzy, more compliant, more connected to my subby headspace when I am in long term edging/denial/control. I no longer think a year of edging to be a crazy idea.

I agree with you that it is much more effective to edge myself (harder edge, closer to cumming without actually orgasming etc) than if my D edges me. On the flip side, it is infinitely more difficult to be willing to endure edging only with a partner. I want the reward. I want , I need, I beg and whine and it feels more like punishment than fun. Maybe that's why using edging as a tool for on line control works pretty well for me.

Thanks for offering some of your thoughts. I agree that when a sub cums without permission/fails to maintain an edge without going over, the result should never be punishment. Not actual punishment. Funishment yes, playful/painful correction like you describe but not punishment. We women have so much to overcome to feel good about our sexuality and many struggle with the ability to cum at all, that it makes no sense to attach a negative experience to orgasm even when achieved without Dom approval/permission. When I have cum without permission I already feel like my body has betrayed me and that I have disappointed him. That alone is a huge form of self punishment, right?!?

Both you and seela mention the way denial /edging/orgasm control augment the power exchange you feel/desire. For me, and I think many other submissive women, having someone else control my orgasm, my sexuality makes my brain super happy and when I am allowed to cum it is unbelievably mind blowing. The combination of long term edging/denial coupled with extended forced orgasm when permission is finally given is a most delicious kind of torment.

Add any amount/kind of pain into the edging mix it becomes next level control and arousal for me, an admitted pain slut. It just requires careful modulation to not add too much pain, lest that brings on a full bore orgasm. It is much more difficult (I think) to preserve edging when there is a pain element solo or with a partner.

Anyone else have thoughts about the mix of stimulation for arousal combined with pain in the art of edging/denial?

This can be done in person or remotely via tele sessions. The common things between remote and in person is bringing my sub to the edge, stopping and spending some time pinching/twisting nipples and clit. Building up rapidly and stopping suddenly can actually be "painful" in an erotic way.

When I finally allow my sub to orgasm after a long time of this, it's nearly a fainting event. Both in the past and with my new sub, when done correctly, her pussy continues to convulse and orgasm for several moments following.

In person, eating her and then changing tac as she's almost there over and over. Then after several times, I signal she may orgasm as I use digital penetration (g-spot or anal) while she climaxes. The clamping creates a deeply erotic pain if done right.

When she's nearing a vaginal climax with me inside, I'll slow and after she rolls back, hit her again. This is hard to do as I want to orgasm too. Then as a signal to release I start in at a faster rate and use my hands to add nipple pain or a sucking bite to the trapezius. The intensity then feels like I'm getting pinched off and my climax is much harder too. My sub is left totally sated.

Edging is complicated for us. I love everything about long, languishing lovemaking where antici ... pation and need are the main course and orgasm is a sometimes disappointing dessert. My wife orgasms early and often when we have sex -- unless I tease and edge her, in which case she has an extremely difficult time cumming when the moment arrives. This is where we are the most different. After the build-up, she can make me cum, ruin it, or leave me deliciously denied and I love it all. For her, edging is like a complete orgasm-blocker. She wants to orgasm and is certainly ready to, but has a difficult time finishing no matter what we do after edging. Her satisfaction is a big part of my sexual pleasure, and her struggle to climax and lackluster orgasm is not erotic. She'll do it to make me happy, but it's an ending that is not enjoyable for me so it is not on our sexual menu often.

I’ve experienced this as well, even if only in longer term edging/denial scenarios. It can be difficult to change gears after having been focused on not having an orgasm for a long time.

And sometimes the orgasm after a stint of edging really isn’t that stellar, even if it’s not that commonly talked about.

Nothing better than a hot edging session with a sweet little sub.. so needy. Denying and controlling when her orgasm comes is so erotic and is a huge turn on. 🔥

Denial also needs moments of reminding how good those orgasms should be. The intent should be to build and heighten when they come.
Long term denial needs to be broken by healthy stints of focused orgasms... then back to denial.

In My way of thinking, when I edge my submissive, I’m not just playing with her body, I’m reminding her where her pleasure lives and that it belongs to Me. Through the act, I decide when she trembles, when she begs, when she’s denied. Every time I bring her close and hold her there, I tighten the pact, Itween us. The more I make her ache, the deeper she falls into me. Her thoughts fade until there’s nothing left but my control. I love watching her desperation grow, knowing she can’t escape it and that in reality she doesn’t want to. And when I finally do choose to give her release, it isn’t just an orgasm, it’s a gift. A gift from her Dominant and to her Dominant and because I have put her in that place between need and surrender, My submissive and I are bound together more fiercely than anywhere else.

this resonates. the way denial/control/edging creates a physical feedback loop of who is in control. the more deeply edging sends a sub into sub space and falls into the will of her D, the more they become connected - sexually, emotionally, physically. Using edging as a tool to reinforce the submission she has consented to and wants even when her body is aching and needy and craves that elusive release. Timing that release to demand that every part of her will/ pleasure belongs to her D and the deliciousness of that deepens the connection and the dominance/control to submission/lack of control.

Do you ever find that you try to sustain the edge for her so long that the result is more like a ruined orgasm or in your experience are you well enough tuned to her body that you know when it is about to be too much and you give permission for release before that wall gets hit?

I know this was a question for someone else. I agree 100%. To answer the question, no I haven't. Have triggered several cascading orgasms that way though which can leave my sub exhausted.

I am glad this resonated with you cascadia. It is meant to be a total bonding experience and I love what you have taken from what I wrote.

I try to sustain the edge for progressively longer periods but have always been tuned to My sub to know when she needs to be given release in order to keep building the bond and not taking any backward steps.
 
Yes.. There is definitely an art to be in tune with how much makes it exciting vs when we reach limits. I like to use terms like how "close to the cliff" she should try to go, with counts or pacing limits as methods to help us not get to a ruin. Sometimes it just gets too much. Her sweet release is the goal.... whether she earns it this round or next. 😏
 
For clarification, you send them a porn video of some kind, and ask them to masturbate/edge while they watch it?
Just watch, if they want to rub during they would need to ask.. you of course need to send them videos of things they enjoy or like to fantasize about. They might not be a gangbang girl but enjoy watching a woman participate in one. The louder the sounds the better..

Ok. so the video porn is no touch foreplay and then you edge them as part of prolonging phone sex sessions? I guess I'm trying to figure out specifically how you use edging as part of your D/s dynamic other than just to create a longer phone session.

My sub lives out of state and when she's not here, we'd have sessions that she earned through her obedience we tracked via our app and other communication. She does not masturbate without asking permission for and if I'm not there to connect, she'll be given a number of times she must/may orgasm.

The edging comes when we are on Meet and the edging, discipline and self inflicted pain stimulation is all done as I guide her. The end result is she feels thoroughly bound to me and "owned" by me while being completely satiated.

Our edging for remote sessions is not to prolong the session, though it does, it's to maintain our closeness by invoking an intimacy that we enjoy when we're together. It reinforces her obedience and keeps her ready for me when we get together.

We have managed to maintain very close to our TPE relationship, even over the distance.

You say that like it’s a bad thing. Prolonging the experience is the point.
