Karezza (from the Italian for "caress") is a Western spiritual practice analogous to Tantric techniques of orgasm control, without involving Eastern cultural or iconographic references. In this classic work, Dr. Stockham shows that Karezza develops strong and disciplined men, respect and reverence for women, and better relationships between the sexes. For the man's point of view, William Lloyd describes in detail how a man puts Karezza into practice, pleasing his lover while maintaining his vitality.
