Orgasm Control: So Much More Than Edging

Curious about taking pleasure to the next level? Discover how orgasm control goes far beyond edging, exploring techniques like forced orgasms and orgasm denial to create intense connection, arousal, and submission.

Orgasms are fun, aren’t they? But what if you could dial up the sexual pleasure, making it more intense, exhilarating, and downright addictive?

Enter the world of orgasm control.

Simply put, orgasm control is when the submissive surrenders control of her orgasms to the Dominant, allowing them to dictate her pleasure and ultimate relief. It’s a practice often favored by Pleasure Doms.

The most common form of orgasm control is edging—teasing your partner by stopping stimulation just before they climax, waiting around 30 seconds, then resuming. This cycle repeats until you’re ready to let them orgasm.

Edging is incredible—the teasing, the denial, and the final release all feel amazing. However, you’ll soon discover that there are countless other ways to control a submissive’s orgasms and drive her wild.

Why Do People Enjoy Orgasm Control?

Orgasm control brings intensity to sex—either psychologically, through the expression of power and control, or physically, through overwhelming pleasure.

Some common reasons include:

• Omnipotence: Humans are wired to seek pleasure. When someone else controls that pleasure, it can create a powerful sense of dependency and submission. With orgasm control, the submissive’s desire intensifies, becoming an insatiable craving—like a heroin addict needing their next fix. The Dominant holds complete control.
• Intense Orgasms: Being teased and denied release while still being stimulated can feel maddening, building arousal and energy. When finally allowed release, the orgasm is often much more powerful and intense.
• Attachment: Consistent use of various forms of orgasm control can deepen emotional bonds, especially when the Dominant becomes the sole source and director of the submissive’s pleasure.
• Long-Distance Relationships: Controlling a partner’s orgasms from afar can help them feel their Dominant’s presence, reinforcing the dynamic.
• Awareness: Orgasm control can heighten sensations, allowing the submissive to focus intensely on the pleasure they’re experiencing—sometimes leading to subspace.

How to Practice Orgasm Control

If the only orgasm control you’ve tried is edging, you’re missing out on the vast possibilities of this practice. When you’re given control of the submissive’s orgasms, you have the ultimate say in how, when, and where she is allowed to orgasm.

Here are some popular ways to practice orgasm control:

• Edging: Arouse and stimulate your partner almost to the point of orgasm, then stop stimulation to let their arousal subside. Repeat this process over and over until you decide to let them climax—if at all.
• Permission: Require her to ask for permission every time she wants to orgasm.
• Begging: Intensify her desire and reinforce your authority by making her beg to cum. I often say "I can’t hear you" or "louder!" to compel her to beg more explicitly.
• Denial: If you’re feeling sadistic or playful, deny her orgasm, refusing her relief from the pleasurable sensations until you decide.
• Ruining: Bring your submissive to the brink of climax, just barely starting to orgasm, then ruin it by stopping or interrupting with a distracting action—leaving her frustrated.
• Forcing: Force your consenting submissive to orgasm, even if she doesn’t necessarily want to. Remember, you’re in control—you dictate when and where.
• Overstimulation: Bring your partner to orgasm, but instead of stopping to let her recover, continue stimulating her, often pushing her to experience dozens of intense, consecutive orgasms.
• Torture: Continue overstimulation until the orgasms become painful, and persist with the stimulation.
• Anchoring: Heighten her orgasm by linking the sensation to a specific word or touch, allowing you to train her to orgasm on command.
• Rules: Establish rules around orgasms. One of my favorites is to instruct my submissive to masturbate multiple times in the 48 hours before seeing me—but forbid her from orgasming during that time.
• Chastity: Have her wear a chastity belt, reserving her orgasms exclusively for you. Some chastity belts include a plug or dildo that remains inserted while she wears it.
• Mental Chastity: Set a rule that she’s not allowed to orgasm, touch herself, or even have sex—despite no physical barrier preventing her.
• Masturbation Schedule: Require her to masturbate a specific number of times per day or week—or forbid it entirely—and make her ask permission to orgasm.
• Remote Play: Have her wear a remote-controlled device, such as a vibrator, to make her orgasm either remotely or in public.
• Erotic Hypnosis: Use hypnotic suggestions to make your submissive orgasm.
• Games: Create games where your submissive must complete a task, choose a number, or succeed at something to earn permission to orgasm. You can also set up random selection games to decide between edging, ruining, forced, denied, or regular orgasms.

Things to Consider When Engaging in Orgasm Control

How Easily the Submissive Orgasms

For some submissive women, orgasm control can be extremely frustrating if they already struggle to reach orgasm. Restricting or forcing orgasms in these cases can worsen the challenge, create a disconnect between pleasurable sensations and orgasm, or make her feel inadequate.

Orgasm control may be better suited for those who can orgasm more easily. That said, if your partner enjoys physical or emotional masochism, humiliation, or degradation, this scenario may be enjoyable for them.

The bottom line is that, like any form of sex or kink, open communication is essential. Discuss boundaries, desires, and concerns before diving in to ensure orgasm control is a mutually enjoyable experience.

Orgasm Control and Multiple Partners

If you and your partner engage in ethical non-monogamy, rules around orgasm control can be complex and may impact your partner’s enjoyment of sex with others. You’ll need to decide whether rules should be temporarily lifted when the submissive visits other partners or if boundaries should be negotiated between all involved.

There’s no right or wrong answer—only what works for your dynamic. Open and honest communication is crucial for navigating these scenarios.

Orgasm Control and Long-Term Practice

Long-term orgasm control can create a deep sense of dependency and attachment. In a committed relationship, this can strengthen bonds and foster trust, connection, and power exchange. However, in less committed or casual relationships, it may lead to unwanted emotional depth.

As always, communication is key. In a casual dynamic, you might limit orgasm control to short-term scenes or specific scenarios to enjoy the intensity without the long-term attachment. On the other hand, if both of you are open to deepening your bond, orgasm control can enhance your connection and trust.

So Many Ways to Take Control

Orgasm control is far more than just edging—it's a powerful tool for deepening trust, building intimacy, and exploring the rich dynamics of power exchange. For Pleasure Doms who delight in pushing boundaries, the practice offers countless ways to tease, deny, and ultimately reward their submissives. 

Whether you’re a Dominant seeking to master control or a submissive yearning for the pleasure of surrender, orgasm control can elevate sensations, create intense attachments, and even guide a submissive into the blissful depths of subspace.
