Tsatsloba

Tsatsloba (წაწლობა), also known as stsorproba in Khevsureti, was a traditional Georgian custom in which a young man and woman shared a bed overnight without engaging in sexual relations. In certain regions, this arrangement could involve an older male guest and the host's daughter, though it more commonly took place between peers. The practice was explicitly distinct from courtship, as there was a strong cultural taboo against such encounters leading to marriage.

This custom persisted in Georgian highland communities until the mid-20th century, reportedly remaining in practice into the 1950s.
