(verb / noun)
/ˈpeɪn.tʃɪŋ/
Adjective form: Painching
The act of engaging in controlled, intimate stimulation after a medical procedure — particularly one involving pain, stitches, or fresh wounds — for the purpose of releasing oxytocin and reducing inflammation, without climaxing. A sensual form of therapeutic restraint, performed to avoid disrupting physical healing (e.g. dislodging a blood clot, pulling stitches, etc.) while still gaining emotional and hormonal benefits.
Origin:
A blend of pain (the aftermath of a procedure), edging (self-control in arousal), and clinch (the tension of restraint)
