Orgasm control refers to the deliberate regulation or management of one’s or a partner’s ability to reach sexual climax. This practice is often associated with BDSM and intimate relationships, where one partner exercises authority over the timing and intensity of orgasms for themselves or their partner.

Within the realm of orgasm control, individuals may employ various techniques to prolong arousal or delay climax. These techniques can include edging, where stimulation is halted just before orgasm, or implementing specific rules or commands regarding when orgasms are permitted.

The motivations behind orgasm control can vary widely. For some, it may serve as a form of power play or dominance, heightening the sense of submission or control within the relationship. Others may find pleasure in the anticipation and buildup of sexual tension, leading to more intense orgasms when climax is finally allowed.
