Tease and denial

Building up arousal and then deliberately withholding release, often as part of a power dynamic.

Tease and denial is the practice of building arousal and then deliberately holding back release, sometimes repeatedly. It is a popular form of erotic control that heightens anticipation and can be woven into a D/s dynamic, with the dominant controlling the outcome. It overlaps with orgasm control and chastity. The appeal is the tension and the surrender of control, and like everything else it is fully negotiated.
