What is Orgasm Play?

Orgasm play (or control) is the act of taking charge over how, when and if an orgasm will take place during intimate play.

Orgasm control can be explored during solo masturbation (sometimes referred to as "edging", "peaking" or "surfing"), but is often used as a tool for submission during BDSM and power play scenarios.

During couples' play, orgasm control is usually broken down into two main types: 'Orgasm Denial' and 'Forced Orgasms'.
