    • 1794, Erasmus Darwin, Zoonomia:
      Hence simple fevers are of two kinds; first, the febris irritativa, or fever with strong pulse, which consists of a previous torpor of the heart, arteries, and capillaries, and a succeeding orgasm of those vessels.
  2. A rush of sexual excitement; now specifically, the climax or peak of sexual pleasure, which occurs during sexual activity and which in males may include ejaculation and in females vaginal contractions. [from 18th c.]
    Synonyms: see Thesaurus:orgasm
    • 1982, Lawrence Durrell, Constance, Penguin 2004 (Avignon Quintet), page 668:
      Never had I experienced such an immense slow orgasm – its ripples ran like the tributaries of the Nile throughout the whole nervous system.
    • 2007 September 12, Zoe Margolis, The Guardian:
      There does not have to be romance involved with sexual pleasure: some of us just like orgasms for the hell of it.
