Edging for men: how can this practice help you?
Learning to edge can provide longer, more intense orgasms, but perhaps the most important benefit for both men and women is that it allows you to really get in touch with your own arousal cycles and develop sexual self-awareness. Last week we talked about edging and its benefits for women, and learning to “edge” also has specific benefits for men, especially if you’re working with challenges like premature or early ejaculation. If you can learn to become more aware of your arousal cycles, you’ll eventually have much better control over them and increase your staying power.
Edging can also be part of a fun play experience between partners and again, it takes practice. Like women, men may potentially lose their sensitivity or arousal from exhaustion or over-stimulation, so start slow and allow yourself to enjoy whatever happens, and how it happens. Whether you are learning to edge to help build sexual longevity or just as a new experience with yourself or a partner, practice letting go of focusing on “end goals” and instead simply enjoy the journey and the process. Stay present, stay in the moment, and stay in your body.
As with edging for women, the initial process begins by looking at your arousal cycle on a scale from 1-10, with 10 being orgasm, and learning to identify your upper and lower “edges” so that you gain more control and regulation..
