La Petite Mort: Is Death Erotic?

Today we’re going to talk about sex and death - how they’re similar, the rituals we have around them, and whether death is erotic. I've wanted to make this video for AGES, sex and history nerd that I am! ✨ What slang do you have in the languages you speak for “orgasm”? Let me know in the comments!
