[I wrote this almost a year ago (mid February 2011). I don’t think I posted it as I can’t find it. Life was a bit crazy shortly after this so it must have slipped through. How true my last sentence proved.]

Freedom, I didn't want to take away from Mrs. Tornfromabook's "O" thread, so I moved your question to me over here~~you said:
"Do you benefit somehow from the time apart? I would guess it might allow post-processing, self-growth, and inner balance. How in touch are you during the week? Karezza seems to be as much about how to be apart as it is about how to be together. Perhaps there should be more books and research on connections at a distance."

Lately I've had so many thoughts, so many epiphanies, so many "ah ha!" moments that I don't know if my words here will even make sense! But I must try because I feel the need to release these thoughts into the universe so I can begin collecting new thoughts. 
I'm currently reading two books at once: Diana Richardson's "Slow Sex" and Barry Long's "To Woman In Love." An interesting combination that keeps my mind churning.

This is another book by Diana Richardson and although I'm only on page 48 (it's been a busy week!), I love this book!!!! Marnia, in spite of the title, she is not promoting "conventional" orgasm and her words align closely with yours (as usual! and I wasn't sure whether you had read this book or not).
First of all, the gorgeous photo on the front is worth the cost of the book, 
. Wow.
But here is a paragraph I read last thing before I feel asleep last night and I just love it:

After months of doing karezza with my very-willing partner, we have come to realize how very sensitive our bodies have become~
The last time we were together, while he was inside me, he said, "I love you" and before saying it back, I kissed him on the cheek. That kiss almost sent him over the edge.
I would never in my wildest dreams have imagined that a mere kiss on my man's cheek could almost bring him to an orgasm.
So now we must be very, very careful~~kissing on the lips has to be done very carefully, too!

Should we be concerned that the Richardsons (Diana and Michael) are disciples of the spiritual master Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh)? I have personally benefitted from following some of their teachings, but it troubles me that Osho seemed to have difficulty living in harmony with other members of society.

I'm working through Tantric Orgasm for Women by Diana and Michael Richardson
Great ideas for meditation (as in all of their books) and I'm looking forward to some of the couple's work

Last weekend I experienced something new (yet again!) with my lover and it was so wonderful I wanted to share.
A little background, as some of you know, I've been reading the Richardson tantra books and in Diana's book, "The Heart of Tantric Sex," she talks about something she experienced while working as a massage therapist.

Gary and I really admire Tantric Sex for Men by Diana and Michael Richardson. It's a great companion to Cupid's Poisoned Arrow. The terminology is not remotely scientific, but if you're trying to master effortless lovemaking, such as karezza, it is an excellent resource, and full of practical suggestions. As Gary said,
It explores and describes a whole different way of making love. The stillness. No efforting. Simply allowing erections to rise and fall. Allowing the energy to move us. It's really about getting our fulfillment from something deeper.

First of all, thank you Marnia for referencing Diana Richardson's book, "The Heart of Tantric Se
A Unique Guide to Love and Sexual Fulfillment" in another thread! It has truly changed my life. There is also a companion book written by her husband, Michael Richardson, called "Tantric Sex for Men: Making Love a Meditation" which is as good, if not better (I gave it to my lover *after* I read it).
