A Cum Countdown is a common element in the realm of erotic audio or video content, particularly within the context of BDSM and Femdom. It involves a dominant individual, often a woman, instructing a submissive partner or viewer to delay their orgasm until a specified time or cue. This can create a heightened sense of anticipation and control, as the submissive is encouraged to prolong their arousal and defer their climax until given permission by the dominant figure. Cum countdowns are frequently utilized as a tool for orgasm control, edging, and reinforcement of power dynamics within a consensual sexual context.
