"Embrace the allure and the hypnotic nature of our gossamer dream. From its softness to its electricity, let it feed your desire and further your passion. Deeper we go; entranced and willingly entrapped..."
Preface
The impetus of this exploration and sharing of personal insight is the distinct shortage of literature, erotica and guides diving deeply into the use hosiery (stockings, pantyhose, socks, tights etc.) and nylon gloves for achieving pleasure and to a further extent and extreme, its use in edging to further enhance release and pleasure.
Whilst this is by no means a comprehensive guide and results may vary, hopefully you can get more out of your nylon fetish and erotic experiences.
To us nylon fetishist, this is probably already a bit of a no-brainer but I hope that it can provide some insight in terms of ideas and techniques to try. To the uninitiated and curious readers, I hope by the end of this, I have provided a strong argument for nylon exploration and its use in edging (especially if you already actively edge with other aids and materials).

The Allure & Theory
From experience there are several distinction sensations you can get from nylon hosiery depending on the denier, quality, construction and stage of wear. From the smoothness of a pair of high quality Wolford Fatal 15s to the softness of a pair of affordable L'eggs Silken Mist pantyhose, from the slick glide of a pair of Falke Shelina stockings to the tantalizing buttery silkiness of Cecilia de Rafael Miss 20s; there's a myriad of nylon sensations waiting to be discovered! Furthermore, your nylons will change in characteristics after a couple of uses and washes. This can either make it softer, smoother, change its luster or a combination of the aforementioned.
I won't go too much into different brands, makes, types but the crux of our exploration is the feel and the sensations you can get with the material and for this there are four different attributes from experience (I'm sure you can break this down even further): degree of smoothness (this usually comes from the quality of the weave and construction), degree of softness (this is usually an effect of denier, generally the higher the denier, the softer the material), slickness/sheen and stretch.
In terms of the theory of why nylon hosiery is such an incredible material of edging? There are a few boons. Number one, the breath-ability of the fabric (especially 20 denier and below) means that your hands and/or legs won't get as sweaty during long sessions vs. if you were to encase them with latex, leather, satin or other materials. Number two, personally speaking as someone with various fetishes and have tried different materials for edging, I have found nylon to be the most rewarding and addicting in terms of sensation (it just has a feel that drives me insane). Number three, with hosiery coming back into fashion, there are a lot of triggers for arousal in day-to-day life and this can be distracting if you're not disciplined but it can also be a driver during your edging sessions and as you become more experienced in harnessing your arousal and senses, the better your climax will be.
Such is the intensity of my passion and fetish for nylons, I am getting hard just thinking of the variety of sensations you can achieve with different nylons and different techniques throughout the various stages of its life-cycle! It'll leave you chasing the sensation cycle and drive you deeper into the fetish!

Mentality
To those who are not familiar with edging, it is the practice of denying ones ejaculation and stopping at the "edge" of an orgasm to enhance the final orgasm upon ejaculation (release). Edging can be done alone or with a partner.
Essentially, you stop stimulation as close as the edge as possible, wait until your arousal subsides and resume. If you're experienced with edging, you can achieve a state that is close to an ejaculating orgasm without ejaculating. This is without a doubt a plus in many ways as it can extend the amount of pleasure you're receiving, help you achieve a more intense climax and improve your stamina during sex.
Using stockings, pantyhose and/or nylon gloves in various combinations on various parts of your genitals can provide waves of pleasure as the sensual fabric stimulates your sensitive parts and take you to the edge.
Perhaps the most important and sexiest aspect of this practice is the personal denial of ejaculation no matter how frustrating it may be initially. Trust me, the end result is more than worth it! If you're doing this with a partner, it's an erotic way of providing control to them (empowering them with your final release) and a way of building communication and trust in terms of sexual play. Your partner will appreciate the control and if done properly, they will gain better understanding of the peaks and valleys of your pleasure cycle; resulting in better and better nylon sex every time (my partner and I can attest to this).
The more sheer nylon waves you can ride, the better your ultimate high will be. But the ultimate challenge would be the test of how much power and control you have over your release. Nylon highs are addictive and hypnotic and it's easy to lose it among the excitement and the amount of pleasure you're providing yourself. I like to use the analogy that the cock is a beast that is forever chasing the nylon high, your hands hold the nylon "sword" that both feed the beast and teaches it that you're the ultimate master and only you can "free" it. Don't let the beast dominate you. True mastery is only cumming on your own command or your partner's volition (but your partner must also not accidentally take you over the edge). Hence, communication and your partner's understanding of your vocal and physical cues is vital!
If you were to ask me, the pinnacle of mastery in terms of nylon edging is full immersion into the sensation yet having an adept amount of awareness and control over the silken embrace. It is letting the nylon become a part of you and consume you yet not being washed out by its waves and fully succumbing to its gossamer temptations.

Techniques
In terms of edging and general masturbation techniques, I believe this has been covered extensively across the Internet so I will only mention several of my own preferred techniques plus some techniques that I have tried with my partner in the next section. In terms of using this gossamer fabric to feed your nylon desire as a solo activity this can be divided into two categories or three categories depending on who you're asking. These are: penis encasement, hand and arm encasement (like a glove without the individual fingers or nylon gloves) and simultaneous (combining the two).
Penis Encasement
