Literary notes about Orgasm (AI summary)

In literary works the term “orgasm” is employed not only as a description of a physiological climax but also as a symbol of heightened passion and emotional intensity. Some texts treat it with a scientific or clinical precision, discussing its role in fertility and bodily reactions—for instance, examining its timing and associated secretions ([1], [2], [3]). Other writings lean toward a more vibrant depiction, portraying orgasm as both a spontaneous and deliberate peak of sensual pleasure, whether arising unexpectedly in dreams or in the playful subversion of conventional sexual encounters ([4], [5], [6]). Moreover, authors often use it to explore gendered differences and the nuances of sexual experience, highlighting instances where its occurrence even defies typical mechanical expectations ([7], [8], [9]).
