Petit Mort
I've just learned that two components of semen include cadaverine and putrescene.
They are amino acids found both in decaying flesh and, along with spermidine, semen.
Barthes was clearly onto something, when he called orgasm "le petit mort."

It's not like I sought this information, but there it is. You're welcome.
I've known this, but I confess it never occurred to me it blog about it.
Actually your entire body is continually losing little dead parts. Lost hair, nails, and skin. There's also bits of dead you in your ear wax, mucus, eye boogers, sweat, saliva, semen, vaginal excretions, stool, and urine. Even your breath has little dead bits of you flying out along with gases and water vapor. Or right, farts. There's dead bits of you in farts too.
