Edging and Ballooning

[Metzengerstein]

I know the topic of edging/ballooning has been beaten to death, but I am here to revive it once more I'm afraid.

Actually, I've been doing my homework, reading various posts on the forums regarding both of these exercises. I would like to have some light shed on them though for those of you who aren't exasperated of answering questions about the two!

So, regarding Edging, let me be sure I have this straight:
Edging is the practice of typical masturbation, followed by kegeling when one reaches the PONR to hold back ejaculation, then letting it subside for a minute or two, and repeating. My main question here is: has edging proven to increase gains? Or is it SOLELY a stamina exercise?

Then there's ballooning. I understand that it's intention is to increase gains, but the practice of it is over my head. Ballooning = rubbing the tip of the head - or the "sweet spot" - for a long duration of time to achieve climax, like edging, no?

>< I feel like an imbecile but the descriptions I read only got me so far, and I want to make the most of my routines. Thanks in advance!

P.S. Sorry I haven't been on in so long! Times are rough.

Firstly, edging is slightly different from typical masturbation as you generally don't touch the glands at all - just the shaft. An edging session sometimes may end in ejaculation, whereas ballooning typically does not. IMO edging is almost as good as ballooning at cementing gains, but ballooning probably has a slight edge (Pun not intended) because of the fact you are pushing the extra blood. That is why a lot of people recommend doing edging/balloning after a PE workout.

Ballooning is slightly different, as you rub the 'magic spot' you simultaneously doing reverse kegels to push blood extra into the penis - thus why it is called ballooning

Edging is a blanket term, used for a masturbation type activity thats main purpose isn't ejaculation.
So this covers a lot of ground and may or may not include kegels . Some forms are designed to increase penis size and sometimes include penis exercises within the edging session itself. Others are basic stamina/cementing exercises and others are male multi orgasm (mmo) exercises.
Ballooning is an edging form that has become popular and become an area unto itself. Kingpole is the leading exponent of ballooning on this site.
I am fimilar with most edging forms including the mmo forms, however some of the more esoteric soft wave form, are Minutemans area.
