Has anyone here tried sex without finishing? What do you think about "edging" during sex?

NSFW

Hey everyone,
Has anyone here ever had sex without finishing? I’m not talking about being unable to finish, but more about consciously controlling your body to avoid orgasm (not because you can't, but because you want to). I know this is something that's more common in tantra and certain spiritual practices, where the goal isn’t necessarily to climax, but to experience something more intense or transcendent during sex.

Would you try it? If you have, what was it like?
Why do people do it? Does it actually bring something beyond the physical? Does it help you feel more connected to your partner?
If you haven’t tried it, what’s your take on the idea? Do you think it’s worth exploring, or does it sound pointless?

I’m really curious to hear your thoughts and experiences on this!

(No judgment, just wondering if this enhances the sexual experience or if it’s all just overthinking.)
