Annotation
This study on sexual orgasm conceptualization in 27 languages states that conceptual metaphors, metonymies, and linked notions revealed in orgasm terms and notices can be classified into orgasm as physiological response, psychological state, and ideal aim, and presents an ideal cognitive model for sexual lust, an emotion tightly linked to love and luck.
