What is "la petite mort?"

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Although it literally means "the little death" the phrase is actually used as polite way to say "an orgasm".

Indeed, as @albanian points out, it has more meanings
It's a French metaphor for "orgasm"
But it doesn't apply only to sexual experience
