Orgasm, plain and simple.
Because the intense feeling of cumming can feel like dieing a little - 'Petit Mort' = 'Little Death'
Yeah can't think of an example using petit mort. You really wouldn't use it in a non-french sentence anyway. don't bug me

The little death is translation from the French "la petite mort", a popular reference for a sexual orgasm. The term has been broadly expanded to include specific instances of blacking out after orgasm and other supposed spiritual releases that come with orgasm.
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")
Man, la petite mort for me last night with Mandy was so big I thought I actually might die!
