It is clear that you do not understand what an orgasm is. I will send the
full explanation later, but, for the moment, think about what happens when
you get the microphone too close to the speaker in a PA system.... Also,
consider the details of the system - what frequency is produced, how pure it
is, how quickly it rises, what the respective components share in common,
and how do sound engineers block such feedback... There are fairly exact
analogies to orgasm here....
