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....
