The word Karezza is generally believed to be derived from the Italian word "carézza" meaning "caress." However, Alan W. Watts believed it was a Persian word.[2] Alice Bunker Stockham coined the word karezza and is akin to maithuna in Buddhist Tantra and Sahaja in Hindu Yoga.[3]
The Rosicrucians have used "coitus reservatus" or "karezza" as an esoteric practice. The practice of "coitus reservatus" with vestal virgins during the first four centuries of Christianity descended as a tradition to the Cathars.
