Karezza is a term that refers to a form of sexual intimacy where the man withholds orgasm, often to achieve a deeper emotional and spiritual connection with his partner. Instead of focusing solely on achieving orgasm, the couple may engage in a mutual, gentle, and loving atmosphere, emphasizing intimacy, affection, and togetherness. This practice is also sometimes referred to as "coital orgasm control" or "withdrawal method." Karezza was popularized by Dr. Richard P. Gardner, an American psychiatrist, in the early 20th century. It is often used as a means to promote greater emotional connection, reduce performance anxiety, and increase overall sexual satisfaction in relationships.
