Orgasm, stressing the body in various ways, has been known to produce some dire consequences. Kinsey again – “At orgasm some individuals may remain unconscious for a matter of seconds or even for some minutes”. Kinsey also notes more than a dozen authorities – from Roubaud (1876) to Brown and Kempton (1950) – who recorded “loss of sensory capacity or even of consciousness during extreme emotion or sexual arousal”. And orgasm has been known to accompany a variety of forms of damage to the body including lesions and ruptures of various organs. Death has also occurred from time to time!
