...como una rutina de abrazos (durante el día) / el hábito de abrazarse
Si los métodos van a ser realmente “creativos”, me parece que no hay razón para no ser un poco más literales en esta traducción. Obviamente están enfatizando lo metodológicos, inusuales e “intensos” de estas formas de obtener placer sexual. No hay sorpresas en las simples caricias o abrazos dentro del tono del texto.
