Teasing

Teasing involves deliberately arousing your partner while withholding or delaying gratification. It's a powerful form of erotic anticipation that can heighten desire and intensify eventual release.

In BDSM contexts, teasing can be both physical and psychological. Physical teasing might include light touches, almost-but-not-quite contact with erogenous zones, or bringing a partner close to orgasm before stopping. Psychological teasing could involve suggestive language, promises of activities to come, or describing sensations without delivering them yet.

Why People Enjoy It

• Creates intense anticipation that can heighten eventual pleasure

• Establishes or reinforces power dynamics between partners

• Extends the duration of sexual encounters

• Builds sexual tension that can lead to more intense experiences
