Karezza is a beautiful and erotic way to connect without Orgasm

In the quest to spice things up and build more anticipation, I came across Karezza. It wasn’t something that I’d heard of before, but we were excited to try it.

What is Karezza and how can it be utilized to create a deeper connection with your significant other? Perhaps Karezza is something that you can benefit from, as well!

Pleasure without Orgasm?

When we embark on the journey of sex it’s often with the goal of orgasm. Everything revolves around this orgasm and once it’s done, the action of physically connecting with your partner comes to a close. We were trying to figure out how to keep that anticipation and pleasure going for much longer and that’s where Karezza came into play.

In the act of Karezza, orgasm is not the goal. Most of the time orgasm never occurs between the couple. The name Karezza means “caress” in Italian, which alone sets up the intention for you. Imagine touching, caressing, and edging your partner for the sheer purpose of exploring them instead of orgasm.

Many sex therapists have used the act of Karezza to reignite a connection between a pair that is in a sexual lull. It’s clear there’s a deeper connection that can be made by simply touching and engaging with your partner on a deeper level than penetration and the act of sex.

Why run the marathon?

You’re training for this marathon with no intention of finishing. Some people can’t wrap their minds around the idea of Karezza or how it makes sense for their pleasure. Keep an open mind when exploring! It could very well be your next favorite pleasurable act with your partner.

Be sure to spend time on your partner’s erogenous zones, and ensure that they share their favorite places to be touched. This is a great opportunity for you to share as well and take turns exploring each other’s bodies. This can be with fingers, sensation devices like feather ticklers, or anything your imagination desires.

The purpose of Karezza is to find that deeper connection through touching, caressing, and causing pleasure in your partner. Start with some cuddling and light touching, allowing things to progress organically so both of you can be in a spot of complete relaxation with each other. Karezza is different for everyone as it’s a spiritual and physical connection with your partner. No two connections can be the same. 

Ways to Try Karezza With Your Partner

If you’re looking to give it a try, this is how I would recommend jumping in with your partner.

1.) Start by slowly undressing each other and teasing each other. This can be with sex toys, massagers, or even something as simple as a satin tie. Do this until both of you are aroused and feel that connection with each other.

2.) Try edging and teasing each other with touch and gentle and affectionate words throughout the day. Karezza is meant to be more relaxing and loving than normal seduction and sex. This is about connecting with your partner and yourself.

3.) Simply lay down next to your partner naked and allow each other to enjoy skin-to-skin contact. This bonding experience embraces that deeper connection you have or are looking to ignite.
