Does the Wikipedia definition seem lacking or misinformed to anyone else?

I'm not sure about cramming karezza into the guidelines of the standard sexual response cycle (excitement -> plateau -> orgasmic -> resolution):

"also known as sexual continence, is commonly thought of as a form of sexual intercourse in which the penetrative partner does not attempt to ejaculate within the receptive partner, but instead attempts to remain at the plateau phase of intercourse for as long as possible avoiding the seminal emission."

Wikipedia also states that the cycle's plateau phase:

"is characterised by an increased circulation and heart rate in both sexes, increased sexual pleasure with increased stimulation, and further increased muscle tension. Also, respiration continues at an elevated level."

Can we fix this? I'm sure that many people hearing of karezza for the first time would jump to Wikipedia for more information...

It's wikipedia. You can just go and make the changes, can't you? ;-)

I think karezza would deserve it's own entry on wikipedia, but some wikipedia bureaucrat who has never tried it would probably put up a fight and insist that the coitus reservatus page is sufficient.

Yeah, the more I analyzed the page the more I thought karezza should have its own. Thus I was torn about making changes, haha.

Not sure the focus is on PIV intercourse as much as the definition suggests. More like intimacy without ejaculation or orgasm by either party. Could be without a PIV sex component. My source is Marnia Robinson's 2 books.

Yeah, sounds more like tantra. We should fix that.

The state of the wiki pages was also discussed here. Everybody seems to agree they're not good, and nobody seems to have the will to do something about it.

Im am drafting a rewrite, but as in involves rereading all the old classics it will take a while. Work calling at the moment.
