This is because masturbation allows for individual control and has no reliance on a sexual partner to achieve orgasm.
Orgasm control is more often possible with masturbation. Repeating either of these techniques many times during a single masturbation session may result in a stronger, more intense orgasm. Another technique, commonly referred to as 'surfing', involves reaching the plateau phase and slowing down the stimulation to maintain a heightened level of sensation for an extended time. One technique, commonly referred to as 'edging', involves masturbating up until the moment before reaching the plateau phase just before orgasm occurs, and then stopping suddenly before experiencing a climax. With orgasm control, a male can experience a more intense orgasm, as well as a larger volume of semen expelled during his ejaculation. For the male, the speed of masturbation may vary to navigate right to the edge of ejaculation. For a female, because there is little or no post-orgasm refractory period, the practitioner can enjoy direct sexual stimulation for longer periods of time, as well as increasing frequency and intensity. Another reason for practicing orgasm control is to extend the amount of time it takes to orgasm. When practicing alone in masturbation, orgasm control can heighten sexual pleasure.

An example of the use of orgasm control in partnered sex can be seen in BDSM if the partner whose orgasm is being controlled (sometimes referred to as the submissive partner) is tied up, it may better control the orgasm (the activity is sometimes called tie and tease if orgasm is denied, it is then known as tease and denial). When a partner eventually provides enough stimulation to achieve an orgasm, it may be stronger than usual due to increased tension and arousal that builds up during the extended stimulation. Erotic sexual denial occurs when the partner who is in control of the other partner's orgasm prolongs the orgasm to allow for an increased level of sexual tension. Any method of sexual stimulation can be used to experience controlled orgasm.ĭuring intercourse or other forms of sexual stimulation with a partner, one person stimulates the other(s) and reduces the level of stimulation when approaching orgasm. 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 by masturbation. Detailed practices including exercises can be found in several books, such as Mantak Chia's The Multi-Orgasmic Man. It is similar to the Venus Butterfly technique used in the volume The One Hour Orgasm (1988) by Leah and Bob Schwartz. Orgasm control is referenced as "slow masturbation" in Alex Comfort's The New Joy of Sex (1993) and "extended massive orgasm" in Vera and Steve Bodansky's 2000 book of the same name. When the controlled orgasm is achieved, the physical sensations are greater as compared to conventional orgasm. When practiced by males, direct sexual stimulation without the refractory period after orgasm is observed. It is practiced alone or with a partner and involves the maintenance of a high level of sexual arousal for an extended period without reaching climax. Edging, peaking, or surfing is a sexual technique whereby orgasm is controlled.
