Orgasm denial is a consensual practice in which one person controls or postpones another person's orgasm, often as part of a power exchange or teasing dynamic. The delay can last minutes, hours, days, or longer depending on the agreement between partners.
People are drawn to orgasm denial for the intensity of anticipation it builds and the way it shifts focus from release to sustained arousal and submission. It often appears within dominance and submission play, where the denying partner holds the decision of when or whether release happens.
Worth knowing: Agree on limits and a safeword in advance, since prolonged denial can affect mood and judgment, and plan for aftercare once the scene ends.
Also called: edging, tease and denial, orgasm control, ruined orgasm, forced orgasm, chastity play, extended denial
