The Secret of Edging: Why Does Latency Feel Better?

'Edging' means stopping stimulation just before orgasm, waiting about 30 seconds, and then restarting. Repeat this process until you're truly ready to ejaculate or reach orgasm. Edging (also known as surfing, edging, or teasing) involves restraining yourself at the very moment of orgasm, preventing your body from "falling off the cliff" and instead stopping at the critical point.

This practice is increasingly popular in the sexual health field, believed to lead to "better orgasms." However, edging is not new. As early as 1956, James H. Seamans proposed the "stop-start method" in the Journal of Sexual Medicine as a treatment for premature ejaculation and a way to prolong intercourse. Edging sounds like a quick fix for satisfying sex.

But in reality, it's more like a marathon. You can't instantly become more durable or experience a stronger orgasm by simply pushing through or training quickly.

Getting Started with Orgasm: What You Need to Know Before Edging
As you practice edging, you'll also gradually understand the four stages of sexual arousal. Understanding these stages will help you determine when to pause or slow down stimulation.

1. Excitement

The skin begins to flush, muscles tense, heartbeat accelerates, blood rushes to the penis, and the scrotum gradually tightens. This is why the Comfly design provides soothing stimulation to the penis while simultaneously massaging the scrotum.

2. Plateau

All reactions during the excitement phase are more intense, and you'll feel yourself getting closer and closer to orgasm. This is the perfect time to prepare to "stop" or "slow down." This is where the Xinfeixiang wearable's ability to freely control stopping and slowing down comes into play.

3. Orgasm

A series of nerve and muscle reactions trigger intense pleasure, leading to ejaculation. However, in edging practice, this is the stage you deliberately avoid until you're truly ready.

4. Resolution

After orgasm, the body gradually returns to a non-aroused state, with heart rate, blood pressure, and other parameters returning to normal. This also marks the refractory period, a period of time during which arousal is impossible, which can last from a few minutes to several days.

However, everyone experiences these four stages differently. One of the key indicators of a satisfying sex life is understanding your body through masturbation and self-exploration. Without familiarizing yourself with and practicing various techniques, you lack a true understanding of your body, which can impact not only your personal satisfaction but also your health and even your relationship with your partner.

3 Ways to Practice Edging at Home
If you're interested in edging, start by focusing on your body's sensations as you approach orgasm, and strive to stay in that critical zone between plateau and orgasm. The key is to listen to your body's signals and recognize your own cues. This process may require repeated attempts and adjustments, which is completely normal.

Here are three exercises you can try at home:
1. The most basic edging method—the stop-start method
• Create the atmosphere: Lock the door, dim the lights, play some music, and use aromatherapy to create the atmosphere.
• Get in the zone: Close your eyes and stroke yourself until your penis is erect.

• Start masturbating: Use penis stimulation or any other method that quickly brings you to orgasm.
• Stop when you're about to climax: When you feel yourself approaching, immediately stop or slow down. You can use deep breathing or opening your eyes to help you slow down.
• Return to the point of arousal: Focus on your trigger points and notice subtle changes in your body—are you feeling more tense? More excited? Are you starting to sweat or tremble?
• Re-stimulate: Reapply the touch or speed up the movements, repeating the previous steps.
• Release: When you decide to truly orgasm, allow yourself to fully release. You may find that your orgasm lasts longer and is more intense. Remember to pay attention to your body's sensations and compare the difference between orgasms before and after edging. Practice with a partner.
• Foreplay Arousal: Get into arousal through your favorite foreplay or positions, such as oral sex, G-spot stimulation, or nipple licking/sucking.
• Confirmation Signals: Make sure your partner can tell you through sounds or actions that they're about to orgasm.
• Slow Down or Stop: When they're about to orgasm, slow down or stop stimulation to allow their body to return to its plateau.
• Restart: Stimulate again and repeat the process until your partner is ready for true release.

2. Penis Exercise - Squeeze Method
1. Enter a state of arousal.
2. Stimulate yourself gradually toward orgasm.
3. As orgasm approaches, gently squeeze the silicone tip with your fingers to prevent ejaculation.
4. Wait about 30 seconds before starting again.

3. Training Ejaculation Control Techniques - Inflation Method
1. Find the most sensitive area on your penis and touch only that small area.
2. Use your fingers to gently massage the area in circles.
3. Continue rubbing until you are fully erect and close to orgasm.
4. Stop touching immediately before orgasm.
5. Allow yourself to soften slightly and stimulate the area again until you are close to orgasm again.

Practice repeatedly, but avoid actual ejaculation.
The "inflation method" is said to help prolong intercourse by training your ability to control orgasm. The key is to continually practice your ability to control ejaculation.
The three methods above are suitable for different levels of practice:
• Stop-Start Method: The easiest for beginners.
• Squeeze Method: Suitable for those who need more control.
• Inflation Method: More of a training method, especially for those looking to improve premature ejaculation.
In fact, the Comfly wearable non-penetrative anal sex device combines all three methods, offering both pleasure and exercise.
