coitus reservatus

There is a slight difference between karezza and coitus reservatus.

The Rosicrucians have used "coitus reservatus" or "karezza" as an esoteric practice.

In his last novel Island (1962), Aldous Huxley mentions the religious practice of maithuna as being something like what Roman Catholics call "coitus reservatus".

The Oneida Community, founded in the nineteenth century by John Humphrey Noyes experimented with coitus reservatus which was then called male continence in a religiously Christian communalist environment.

The view that coitus reservatus energizes and prolongs male life has since been held by a number of religious cults and defended by several writers-notably Mrs. Alice Bunker Stockham, an American physician.

The book discusses Dr. Thomas Robert Malthus's advocacy of celibacy until middle age to avoid overpopulation, but criticizes the idea as harmful, and also suggests that karezza, also called coitus reservatus, is harmful.

Coitus reservatus was admittedly part of the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding sexual intercourse and was generally a permitted form of intercourse but was subject to the same arguments as coitus interruptus.
