Source summary
WikipediaEdging, sometimes also referred to as gooning or surfing, is a sexual technique whereby an orgasm is controlled (that is, delayed or prevented). It is practiced alone or with a partner, and involves the maintenance of a high level of sexual arousal for an extended period of time without reaching climax. Orgasm control involves either sex partner being in control of the other partner's orgasm, or a person delaying their own orgasm during sexual activity with a partner or through masturbation. Any method of sexual stimulation can be used to experience controlled orgasm.
When the controlled orgasm is achieved, the physical sensations are greater as compared to conventional orgasm. Orgasm control has also been referred to as "slow masturbation" and "extended massive orgasm". When practiced by males, direct sexual stimulation without the refractory period after orgasm is sometimes possible.
Edging should not be confused with edgeplay, which refers to a set of sexual practices distinct from edging. It should also not be confused with premature ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, or the inability to orgasm, all of which describe involuntary medical conditions. The terms edging and gooning have been adopted by Generation Z and older Generation Alpha as brain rot terminology, gaining popularity on TikTok. In internet slang, gooner is often used to refer to pleasure-seekers and porn performers, as well as extreme excitement or obsession in non-sexual contexts.
