Edging FAQs

Is edging bad for you?

For most guys, no. You might get a dull ache in your balls after a long session ("blue balls"). It's uncomfortable but harmless, and it fades on its own or once you finish. If you get pain that doesn't go away, see a doctor.

How long should you edge?

There's no set rule. A good start is three or four rounds of getting close and backing off, then finishing. Stretch it out once you know where your point of no return is.

What's the difference between edging and orgasm denial?

With edging, you finish at the end. With orgasm denial, you don't, sometimes for days, and often a partner decides when you're allowed to.

Can toys help with edging?

Yes. A prostate massager adds a second kind of sensation, and you can turn it down instead of stopping completely, so it's easier to hover near the edge without tipping over.
