the little death is translation from the french “la pet-te mort”, a popular reference for a s-xual -rg-sm. the term has been broadly expanded to include specific instances of blacking out after -rg-sm and other supposed spiritual releases that come with -rg-sm.

speculations to its origin include current connotations of the phrase, including:

– greco-roman belief that the oversecretion of bodily fluids would “dry out” one of the believed four humours, leading to death
– islam’s reference to sleep
– buddhist sogyal rinpoche’s the tibetan book of living and dying’s quote: “life is nothing but a continuing dance of birth and death, a dance of change.” (existence through many changes, “births and deaths”)
