La petite mort, French for "the little death", is an idiom and metaphor for orgasm.
More widely, it can refer to the spiritual release that comes with
orgasm or to a short period of melancholy or transcendence as a result
of the expenditure of the "life force", the feeling which is caused by the release of oxytocin in the brain after the occurrence of orgasm.
