Increasing space between paragraphs

Question

I want to know how to increase the distance between two paragraphs but not between two lines of the same paragraph. For example, if I type a long line, I want to wrap that line into a paragraph, but when I deliberately press Enter or type \\ and begin another paragraph, I want the default distance to be higher. Is it possible to set this for the whole document without using \\[10pt]?

This is obtained by setting nonzero \parskip, e.g. \parskip10pt. Please keep in mind that such paragraphs should not be indented (you should set \parindent0pt), because mixing these two is considered a bad style.
