Spiritual and biological conundrum.
Oh my Gawd, what a cliché, a French one at that, “la petite mort”, the little death…orgasm itself or post-coital lassitude, can mean either.
I have no idea how many times I’ve died, or how many women I have brought to death…correction, not all that many women but countless joyful deaths…
supreme joys of existence, transcending biology…transcending many things…if it’s the little death I can hardly wait for the big one…on the other stroking hand,
just a pulsing squirt, spasm after all, akin to slippery seizure…yet…
sounds of woman coming music to my ears, veritable taut strings building to
crescendo…clasping tight to each other, falling into bottomlessness or rocketing to highest acme together…fireworks, supernovas, black holes…
Gods I love breasts, can’t help it…my lactating wife sprayed warm milk over me when she came…turn about, fair play…paradise…no one could love any part of my anatomy as I do the different parts of hers’, or the whole.
Back to coming equals death; really? Loss of self to union with another soul…
Once had a lover grew to hate and shun orgasms; mystical union to me was obliteration to her…wish I had understood that then.
Original function procreation lest we forget we are beasts…procreation not necessary for immortals, but how they love to fuck just the same…is that why we feel most divine at that exquisite moment we are most animal?
Is that why it is called “la petite mort”? It offers a brief glimpse of eternity as the big death gives us a permanent vision…or is that transitory also, a consolation prize just before we are snuffed out?
Give me more, please, give me mort, more mort…

Written in response to J.D. Harms’ prompt referencing sex and death.
Snails are hermaphrodites. They each inject sperm into the other mate. They also have specialized darts they shoot into their partner. The outcome of that spearing determines which snail reproduces. You can’t make this stuff up! (https://www.kqued.org/science/1446777/)
