Karezza is a type of slow, non-orgasm-focused sex focused on connection between partners
Sexual intimacy can be one of the most powerful forms of human bonding and expression, but it's often overlooked in favor of orgasm-centric sex that can leave both parties feeling unsatisfied. Intimate connection is key to building strong relationships, yet many couples struggle to maintain it due to stressors such as work, family life, and social media. Karezza offers an alternative approach to sex where the goal is pleasure and closeness rather than penetration and release.
The term "karezza" was coined by Italian researchers Alfred Kinsey and Evelyn Hooker in their book, Sexual Behavior in Human Populations, as a way to describe a form of lovemaking that emphasizes sensuality and touch without the need for sexual climax. It involves prolonged foreplay, gentle strokes, and plenty of communication throughout. The technique has been popularized recently by Tantra experts like Margot Anand and Paulina Potter who have written extensively about it. They say karezza is ideal for those seeking greater emotional connection with their partner, or simply wanting more intimate ways to experience arousal without the rush of orgasm.
Here are some advantages of karezza compared to traditional intercourse:
1) It allows for deeper levels of trust and vulnerability
2) It fosters a sense of safety and security
3) It encourages creativity and playfulness
4) It increases sexual confidence and self-esteem
5) It can help alleviate stress and anxiety related to performance
6) It reduces the risk of pregnancy and STDs
7) It's accessible to all bodies and genders
Of course, there are also potential downsides to karezza. Some people may find it boring or too slow, while others may struggle to maintain focus during extended periods of physical stimulation without reaching orgasm. But many couples report feeling closer and more connected after trying this approach, which can lead to increased satisfaction overall.
So if you're looking for an alternative to traditional sex or simply want to explore new ways of connecting with your partner, give karezza a try!
