Karezza’ Is The Hot New Bedroom Trend Everyone’s Trying
People are obsessed with the hot new bedroom trend ‘karezza.‘
In a world where dating often feels like a sprint toward physical gratification, a surprising new trend is gaining traction among couples and singles alike.
Pronounced kah-ret-za, this intimate practice is turning conventional ideas about s** and connection on their heads.
‘Karezza,’ derived from the Italian word carezza, meaning ‘caress,’ is all about deepening emotional and sensual intimacy.
And it’s doing so without placing org**m at the center of the experience.
Unlike traditional s**ual encounters that typically emphasize climax, ‘karezza’ prioritizes slow touch, affectionate connection, and mutual presence.
It’s less about the finish line and more about the journey.
“This practice invites you to tune into your partner and your body on a deeper level,” says somatic intimacy coach Karen Yates to Goop.
“You’re essentially building an energy of connection and love.”
She recommends starting by creating a distraction-free, relaxed environment.
Yes, that means putting your phone down and maybe even arranging a kid-free evening.
Partners are encouraged to touch each other gently, gaze into one another’s eyes, and offer genuine compliments, helping cultivate emotional closeness.
Clinical psychologist and therapist Dr. Stella Resnick agrees, emphasizing that ‘karezza’ engages all the senses.
“It’s about getting in touch with your sensuality and experiencing all your senses: seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, and your sixth sense of interoception, sensing the internal state of the body,” Resnick explains.
This method is more than foreplay – it’s an entirely different way to relate. Participants often describe feeling more emotionally secure and connected after practicing ‘karezza’ regularly.
It can involve penetrative s**, but the emphasis remains on tenderness and energy exchange rather than building toward orgasm.
In fact, Karezza shares similarities with tantric s** and edging, using slow, mindful movements to foster what many describe as a ‘flowlike state.’
Yates even suggests a simple energy exchange visualization: imagine sending magnetic energy from your right hand into your partner, circulating it through their body, and receiving it back through your left hand.
“Keep flowing and moving until you delve into a deeper, harmonious flowlike state,” she says.
And while org**m isn’t the goal, there’s no shame in experiencing one.
“Don’t should on yourself,” Resnick advises. “Let whatever happens be okay.”
The beauty of ‘karezza’ lies in its flexibility and emotional depth. It’s about being present, kind, and attuned to each other, whether that leads to laughter, tears, or something far more profound
