We are living in a world where a right swipe on a dating app might lead to a great night of sex. But is there a 'hook-up fatigue' looming? More and more young adults are looking beyond just physical intimacy, and it might not be a great time ahead for the 'orgasm collectors'. Yes, orgasms have traditionally been the high point or the crown jewel when it comes to having sex. But with stress and anxiety levels skyrocketing, just physical pleasure might not be enough for a vast majority of the population. Young adults are now increasingly craving an emotional connection. And this is where Karezza comes in.

"A guy I was simply hooking up with was really into the emotional release of it. At first, I thought maybe it's not doing it for him, but when we had full-blown sex twice that night and he didn't ejaculate, we decided to talk about it, and he explained that for him, sex is rarely about orgasming, and more about how connected he feels with his partner. Yes, even when it's just a hook-up. I didn't know then that there's a term for it," Neha (name changed), 30, tells us.
