Book an appointment
Edging is a technique for consciously steering arousal. Combined with pelvic floor training at Veronika Mutti in Zurich-Altstetten, it can help direct sexual energy more consciously.
The essentials in brief:
Edging is a conscious technique in which arousal is held just before climax and then reduced again, in order to deepen body awareness and stamina. Combined with pelvic floor training, edging can help direct sexual energy more consciously instead of discharging it quickly.
What is edging? A definition
Edging describes a technique in which sexual arousal is consciously brought close to climax and then reduced again, instead of heading straight for orgasm. This alternation between approaching and pausing can be repeated several times.
Origin of the term
The name derives from the English word edge. It refers to the point just before the so-called point of no return, at which the orgasm can still be influenced.
What edging looks like in practice
In practice this means perceiving your own body signals precisely and interrupting or changing the stimulation shortly before climax. With some practice you develop a fine sense of when this point is reached.
More body awareness and control
Edging can help you perceive your own body signals more precisely and steer the course of arousal more consciously.
A more conscious way with sexual energy
Instead of discharging arousal quickly, edging invites you to feel sexual energy longer and more consciously in the body.
Why edging is practised
Edging is practised for different reasons. At the centre is usually the wish to steer one's own arousal more consciously and perceive the body in a more differentiated way, instead of discharging desire quickly and reflexively.
More body awareness and self-perception
Anyone who practises edging inevitably learns to listen more closely to their own body signals. This can contribute to a better understanding of one's own sexual needs and boundaries.
Support with premature ejaculation
Many men use edging to develop a better feel for the course of their own arousal. This can have a supportive effect if you want to work on your sexual stamina. With persistent complaints an assessment in consultation with your doctor is additionally recommended.
Edging and pelvic floor training: a natural connection
The pelvic floor muscles play an important role in steering arousal and ejaculation more consciously. Those who can perceive and tense their pelvic floor specifically often also have a finer sense of the course of their own arousal, an important prerequisite for edging.
The role of the pelvic floor muscles
A trained, consciously perceived pelvic floor can help you learn control over the pelvic floor muscles and thus also over the moment of climax.

Edging in the energetic understanding of Tantra
In Tantra, sexual energy is not understood as something that should be discharged as quickly as possible but as life energy that can be consciously directed and set flowing in the body. Edging fits this attitude because it places exactly this conscious way with arousal at the centre.
Directing sexual energy instead of discharging it quickly
Instead of turning arousal into an orgasm as quickly as possible, edging invites you to play with your own energy and keep it perceptible in the body for longer.
Mindfulness as a prerequisite
For this to succeed it takes mindfulness and patience with yourself. Exactly this attitude is also cultivated in the energetic bodywork of Veronika Mutti.
Who is edging worthwhile for and what should you pay attention to?
Edging is suitable for men who want to consciously deepen their sexual stamina and body perception, alone or together with a partner.
Patience and body awareness as prerequisites
At the beginning it takes some patience to recognise precisely your own point before climax. This develops over time and should be practised without performance pressure.
