Having trained as a physician in my native country, I suspect that karezza may stabilise body metabolism in beneficial ways. We know that conventional, orgasm-driven sex pushes hormonal activity to high levels for a short time. The good feelings and enjoyment during lovemaking stem mostly from these changes throughout the body.

With conventional sex, the joyful feelings of wellbeing ‘burst’ at orgasm or ejaculation. Swiftly, we feel very different. This shift is a natural consequence of the hormonal aftermath.

Lovemaking during conventional sex is often mechanical and focused on striving for climax. In contrast, ka

rezza lovemaking is slow, with few or no intense peaks. You focus on yourself and your partner.

It seems that this slower approach to sex may sustain beneficial hormonal activity at a pleasurable level for as long as you both desire. Think of karezza as sipping a glass wine for hours with your lover. In contrast, conventional sex is like quickly getting drunk, and then throwing the glass at the wall.

After engaging in karezza, you don’t feel tired, drained, or exhausted. You feel energized, bright, and as if your brain is sharper.
