Edging: Control, Arousal, and Intentional Delay

Explore edging as a practice centered on intentional delay, heightened arousal, body awareness, and control. Curated by Thoth ONYX, this OLS University module examines why people practice edging, how it can be incorporated into solo, partnered, and power-exchange experiences, and the physical and emotional responses that may accompany prolonged arousal. Learners will explore consent and communication, harm-reduction considerations, power dynamics, aftercare, and common community language surrounding edging. Whether you're new to the practice or looking to better understand its role within kink and sexual communities, this module emphasizes awareness, negotiation, and intentional play.
