Acmegenesis

The historical term "acmegenesis" refers to the commencement of sexual climax or orgasm. The phrase is derived from the words "genesis," which means "creation" or "beginning," and "acme," which means "height of." In order to explain the word, it is common to think of the orgasm as the birth of life or creation.

Acmegenesis has mostly been superseded in the modern lexicon by more recent terminology such as climax or simply orgasm.

More About Acmegenesis

A historical or archaic term for orgasm—the intense sexual pleasure experienced by both men and women during sexual contact—is amelogenesis.

Though their experiences differ significantly, both men and women undergo acmegenesis. Acmegenesis physically alters a person's body, causing increased breathing and an accelerated heartbeat, regardless of gender.

Men and women both have genital muscular spasms during amelogenesis. In men, this typically occurs when the penis secretes semen or ejaculation. During amelogenesis, some men also ejaculate clear fluid from the Skene's glands close to the urethra. However, this is less frequent.

Acmegenesis can occur repeatedly in quick succession in women. Multiple orgasms is the term for this process. This is not possible for men. Their next episode of amelogenesis could occur within a few minutes to several hours.
