The practice by a man, with or without a partner, of maintaining a very high level of sexual arousal, as close as possible to full orgasm, over an extended period, without actually having a full orgasm. By using delicate control of stimulation and much will power to avoid a full orgasm, edging can include getting so close to full orgasm that ejaculate in significant quantity is released but the involuntary contractions do not take place (although up to say 3 contractions can be done deliberately each time to eject the released liquid in squirts, thus mimicking a real, but short, orgasm). This release, or "mimicked" orgasm, gives all the feelings of the start of a real orgasm but lacks the involuntary contractions, and it can be repeated several times until the supply of ejaculate is exhausted, or even beyond that point. After this "running dry", any real, final orgasm will be "dry" but otherwise normal. This amounts to multiple orgasms for men.
The edging session included four small or "mimicked" orgasms, with a combined total of 11 squirts, meaning that the powerful, 12 contraction final orgasm was virtually dry, and all this from one erection

For women also known as female orgasm denial - masturbating yourself very close to orgasm but not letting yourself go over into an orgasm (or in some cases deliberately giving yourself a ruined orgasm).
In women the effect over time, days, or even weeks, is to make you insatiably horny and absolutely obsessed with sex.

James recommended I try edging on his female orgasm denial blog on Tumblr. Three days in and now I'm a complete denial slut!

From gay scene, involves actions and techniques that get you close to orgasm and hold it "at the edge" for a long time (even hours). At that point, you either have a very intense orgasm, or else you might even choose not to have it at all and just save it for another day. Saying that your into edging implies that you want to participate in a lengthy, intense, sex-play scene.
Seen a lot in personal ads as either "edging" or else someone will use the word "edge" as if it were a verb.
"GWM, 24, into edging..." (or)
"GWM, 24, loves to edge, seeks..."

When a web browser is loading a page but breaks off the connection right before it has finished rendering. Pioneered by Microsoft in their Edge browser, it was found to result in more page views and higher user satisfaction when the page did load.
I was edging all afternoon on my Windows phone to see my tax return forms and it felt so amazing when they finally loaded.
