A CALL TO CREATIVITY
Submitted by Halo on Tue, 2010-01-26 22:20
We need a new word. This word is to describe a person, male or female who is practicing being non-orgasmic.
We could say non-orgasmic, but that's a negative. I'd suggest that it'd be a catchier, more powerful term if it was phrased in the positive. Non-orgasmic sounds like self-denial, and we want to focus on what we're going for - the benefits - not what we're stopping or avoiding.
Abstinent, or continent just don't have any appeal at all for me, and I'd imagine most other people as well.
So what's it going to be? Maybe a good term is alread out there, and I've missed it.
Let's do it, let's find the right words. I think it's actually quite important.

This is
quite a challenge. Believe me, I've been listening for that word.
One tantric teacher refers to it as "pre-orgasmic."
I guess if I had to pick, I'd choose Franscisco Moreno's term: transorgasmic. http://www.reuniting.info/wisdom/transorgsmic_sex
Very good question
See this:

This is why we need a healthy wiki. Many topics come up again and again, unbeknownst to most users. The current tagging system is far from perfect. So we need some volunteers to organize the collective wisdom into the wiki for easy, future reference.
This should not prevent the same topic to be brought up several time, but we don't need to repeat the whole discussion either. Let each iteration build on the conclusions of the previous discussion.
Other than that, it is a very good question. Thanks for bringing it up again.
Sort of different
Hi Janitor!
I scanned that post you linked to the "name game." That thread sort of went in a different direction. I'd like a term that describes being non-orgasmic, but doesn't have to do with love-making.
Another way you could say this is that what we're looking for is not another term for "karezza."
You see, I'm single...
I agree, a healthy wiki is going to be a great benefit to everybody.
Well, I still
wonder if "transorgasmic" would work. It could be for singles, too, and singles can apparently achieve definite benefits from circulating the sexual energy on their own.
"Solo cultivation practitioner" doesn't have the same ring to it.
That is a wonderful idea
That is a wonderful idea, Halo...I've put my thinking cap on
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you }
Yes they are

I think the word Karezza is accurate and romantic....
I think the word Karezza is accurate and romantic. To caress is to touch
or stroke gently and lovingly. [In Latin carus means dear] Karezza results
in mutual peace and fulfillment. Karezza also gives a new depth of meaning
to the often misused word "intercourse". "Inter" means between, mutually,
reciprocally. One of the meanings of "course" is a channel in which water flows.
In karezza selfishness is set aside so that loving sexual energy can flow freely
as water flows through a channel. Maybe we should think of a new word for
common sex other than intercourse since it doesn't meet the definition as well
as karezza does. I think the word karezza is inspired -- as are the wisdom books
with that title
I like the Biblical term "know" or past tense "knew" for intercourse which is an
acurate description of karezza. It's in the moments of quiet and stillness that
we get to "know" our mate, not during the typical dopamine roller coaster ride.
I like the Biblical term "possess your vessel" for singles or couples as it contains
the idea of caring for yourself or each other by consciously choosing to preserve
and channel your sexual energy instead of squandering it by simply "getting off".
