Erotic sexual denial, also known as orgasm denial, is a sexual practice where a person is kept in the plateau phase of the human sexual response cycle for an extended length of time without satisfying climax. This is sometimes practiced in association with BDSM, and can be thought of as a more extreme version of orgasm control, which ends in satisfying climax. The subject may either be allowed an orgasm at the end (in which case, the orgasm is generally much stronger than normal), or denied one, in which case they will generally feel strong feelings of sexual frustration. Sexual behavior is a form of physical intimacy that may be directed to reproduction (one possible goal of sexual intercourse) and/or to the enjoyment of activity involving sexual gratification. ...

Short-term denial practices

Tease and denial

Main article: Tease and Denial

Tease and Denial describes when a person is stimulated until orgasm is near, and then stimulation is reduced to keep the person being stimulated on the very brink or "edge" of orgasm like with orgasm control but without the promise of orgasm at the end, or abruptly ceased all contact to prevent orgasm completely. If orgasm still occurs after removal of stimulation, it brings less pleasure than usual, and is considered a "Ruined orgasm", as opposed to being a "denied orgasm". Alternatively, the release phase (for men) might be prevented by some sort of constriction (blocked orgasm). Depending on the relationship, subjects might be repeatedly teased to the point of orgasm several times, causing feelings of intense arousal and physiological and psychological need. Tease and denial (also called orgasm denial or T&D) is a general term used to describe any technique that involves the sexual stimulation of a person to cause intense arousal without climax. ...

Tie and tease activities

Main article: Tie and tease

A tie and tease can be thought of as an extended sexual stimulation performed on a subject who is restrained. This practice is often an integral part of erotic denial. It is notable that in BDSM discussion, negotiation usually focuses on the activities which may or may not be agreed to, rather than the emotion generated (unless at an unacceptable level). Tie and tease activities are physically as well as psychologically intense because the intense feelings of sexual frustration are enhanced by the sensation of helplessness induced by the bondage.

Non-orgasm ejaculation

As an alternative technique, it is stated to be possible for a man to be trained to ejaculate, but to do so without achieving orgasm. This requires practice and discipline on the man's part. One key to the technique is to remove all stimulation of the penis at the exact moment when an orgasm would otherwise be achieved; the result is a full expulsion of semen but without the concomitant relief. According to websites on the subject, this technique enables a man to be kept in a state of denial indefinitely, yet maintain prostate health more thoroughly than the alternative technique of prostate milking. Prostate massage and prostate milking are terms used to describe the massage or stimulation of the prostate gland in males, either for medical or sexual purposes. ...

Total denial

The practice of total denial is where the subject is not allowed any sexually gratifying touch. The subject may or may not be brought to arousal through other means, depending on the situation.

Ruined orgasm

Main article: Ruined orgasm

Ruined orgasm is a technique used to deny a person the physical pleasure of release, while still allowing climax. It is often performed by removing all stimulation of the genitals at the moment the subject crosses the brink of orgasm. A ruined orgasm is a technique, usually used by a woman dominating a man, of allowing physical sexual release while denying psychological satisfaction. ...

Long term denial

Frequency of masturbation is determined by many factors, e.g., one's resistance to sexual tension, hormone levels influencing sexual arousal, sexual habits, peer influences, health and one's attitude to masturbation formed by culture.^[1] Medical causes have also been associated with masturbation.^[2],^[3],^[4] Sexual tension is a plot device employed in works of fiction wherein two or more of the characters sexually long for one another, but the consummation is postponed or never occurs. ...

Different studies have found that masturbation is frequent in humans. Alfred Kinsey's studies have shown that 92% of men and 62% of women have masturbated during their lifespan.^[5] Similar results have been found in British national probability survey. It was found that 95% of men and 71% of woman masturbated at some point in their lives. 73% of men and 37% of woman reported masturbating in the four weeks before their interview, while 53% of men and 18% of woman reported masturbating in previous seven days.^[6] Alfred Charles Kinsey (June 23, 1894 – August 25, 1956), was an American biologist and professor of entomology and zoology who in 1947 founded the Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University, now called the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. ...

It is widely believed that abstaining from orgasm via masturbation or sexual activities will induce a sleeping orgasm, however the frequency that one has nocturnal emissions has not been conclusively linked to one's frequency of masturbation. Widely-known sex researcher Alfred Kinsey found "There may be some correlation between the frequencies of masturbation and the frequencies of nocturnal dreams. In general the males who have the highest frequencies of nocturnal emissions may have somewhat lower rates of masturbation. Some of these males credit the frequent emissions to the fact that they do not masturbate; but it is just as likely that the reverse relationship is true, namely, that they do not masturbate because they have frequent emissions."^[7] For women the correlation is also short of conclusive; "According to Kinsey's findings, women who suddenly lost the opportunity for several coital orgasms per week had only a few more orgasms in their sleep per year."^[8] Woman masturbating, 1913 drawing by Gustav Klimt. ...

Subjects can be kept in denial indefinitely (periods around 2 to 4 weeks each time are often quoted as being safe subject to proper skincare and regular checking). Many, however, suggest that this is very subjective, and often informally suggest a shorter period such as 3 days or a week between release instead—especially when starting.

Beyond that, the long term consequences for denial are unclear, although there are negative effects implied by a ^[9], which found that frequent masturbation may help prevent prostate cancer in men.

Most sources seem to agree that the body will spontaneously reabsorb sperm, but that the prostate fluids should be removed fully and regularly, if not through orgasm then via internal prostatic massage (known as "prostatic milking") to reduce the risk of prostate cancer and inflammation, atrophy (orgasm involves the prostate muscles) or tissue damage to the prostate. It is also said that if erection is inhibited for long periods the skin of the penis becomes less elastic which may cause pain or other difficulty in the future.

Normally, during sexual arousal, sperm and ejaculatory fluid accumulate in these glands backing up behind valves in the ejaculatory ducts. When fluid pressure reaches a high enough threshold, the valves open and the urethral bulb fills, triggering the ejaculatory reflex and muscular contractions of orgasm, which empties the glands.

Without orgasm, prostate milking may be used to help to flush out the build up of toxins which accumulate within the prostate glands. This can be done by allowing ejaculation without orgasm. As most men need penile stimulation to reach the latter, this milking can be done without risk of an orgasm.

Milking involves vigorous massage of the prostate, during which fluid will be secreted with a pleasurable sensation somewhat like slow urination. After continued massage, the fluid will flow out freely. Once a sufficient amount of ejaculatory fluid has drained, insufficient fluid pressure to trigger the ejaculatory reflex will remain, and no amount of penile stimulation will result in orgasm until the fluid glands are recharged. This may take several hours to several days. Milking can thus be used prevent orgasm and nocturnal ejaculations if applied at appropriately timed intervals.

For females, there are many psychological and emotional issues that turn into physical issues because of long-term sexual denial. For example, many women have claimed that their cramps at the time of their menstruation are less painful because they are sexually satisfied. In addition, the writers of "I Heart Female Orgasm" assert that it "reduces stress, tension, and headaches." In addition, it "helps one to fall asleep" (http://www.ilovefemaleorgasm.com/).

Erotic denial as a form of control

Erotic sexual denial, in various forms, is sometimes associated with creating a state of sexual need leading to a more pliable agreeable outlook by the denied party.

Orgasm denial practices can allow dominant males and females to exercise control and training over a highly intimate and psychologically significant part of their partners' lives. This can extend to tolerance of increased stimulation, and training both to hold back, or to orgasm on command. This technique gives the dominant partner great feelings of control and power.
