Edging is a psychosexual manifestation of the capitalist mode of consumption. By artificially limiting the number of orgasms, the capitalist now controls this once limitless resource that was freely available. The proletariat is forced to acquiesce to ever-smaller proportion of releases while tricking themselves into believing that they're getting a good deal while the capitalist is getting fat off of proletariat labor.

I'm a bit lost. Where did Marx say this exactly?

In Capital. A Critique of Political Economy. Volume IV: A Freudian Collaboration.

It's an unholy book that you should be glad that you've never read. It came to me in a dream!

So what you are saying is that Marx was a ghost writer?
