Coitus reservatus

Coitus reservatus (wikt:coitus, "sexual intercourse" and wikt:reservatus, "reserved"), also known as sexual continence, is a form of sexual intercourse in which a male does not attempt to ejaculate within his partner, avoiding the seminal emission. It is distinct from death-grip syndrome, wherein a male has no volition in his emissionless state.

Alice Stockham coined the term karezza, derived from the Italian word carezza meaning "caress", to describe coitus reservatus, but the idea was already in practice at the Oneida Community. Alan Watts believed, in error, that karezza was a Persian word. The concept of karezza is loosely akin to maithuna in Hindu Tantra and sahaja in Hindu Yoga.

Control of ejaculation (known as "cai Yin pu Yang" and "cai Yang pu Yin") is involved in Taoist sexual practices such as Huanjing bunao, as well as Indian Tantra (where it is known as "asidhārāvrata") and Hatha Yoga (see vajroli mudra), although conventional ejaculation is also endorsed.
