Puccini and R Strauss in several operas, captured the  essence of orgasm with series of chords that build tension, back off, build again, sustaining more tension, climbing an enormous precipice of subtle discord until… a breath, and explosive release to harmony. sometimes followed with final resolution that has little ups and downs, and leaves you with the final feeling of “I need a cigarette”. Strauss’ Rosenkavalier Trio. Once you find a vid clip on line approx the length of the musical selection, listen to the music, watching video muted. Some people don’t feel that kind of music - it is NOT all about that bass - it’s a wall of sound that reaches to your very core if you let it.

Barber’s (ubiquitous) Adagio for Strings another one to try. Breathe with it.

Duet from Butterfly Act I.

Wagner Liebestod 

People ask how the language and shrillness can be hot. In music esp rock shows off range to express emotion, so it’s not unique for opera. Can’t say it’s everyone’s expression of passion. This is for slow-paced sex.
Don’t focus on the words, let the wall of sound wash over you.
Try a slow stroke, breathe along with the music, with the singer(s) - the effect is almost tantric. Conscious engagement with your pelvic floor to the deep breathing, which is exactly the singer’s experience (on a good night) try to resist any grinding/thrusting and use abdominal isolations thru your core. Encore!

When you find the classical (esp opera) piece that fits your sexual rhythm, it’s magical. Younger people will want to boost the bass

Years ago I was team-teaching a humanities course with an older female colleague. Part of my task was to provide appropriate music from 19th century composers, so one day I brought a recording of the "Liebestod" to play for the class. As we were listening, I saw my colleague become redder and redder in the face. After class was dismissed, I asked her if she was OK;  she said, "That woman was having a sexual climax!"

Opera and porn - all you need now to a good cigar 

 

The tenor featured above looks like he might have an appealing "cigar."

If you like opera and porn, this tenor shows off a very attractive ass at the conclusion of the cabaletta in Act II of Rigoletto - 

 

Can't wait for the encore.

And they both had R. Wagner to thank for doing it first! It's all about dissonance and delayed resolution.

I've heard it said that Tristan und Isolde's prelude sets the dissonance and it is not resolved to the very final chord of the opera.  Also, the opening of Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier has the famous 'orgasm' moment in the brass.

In a course on Victorian literature, a professor of mine once mentioned that Bruckner does the same thing in his symphonies, and now I can't help hearing that pattern every time I listen to Bruckner.

It may be apocryphal, but I have read in more than one source (though I can’t recall specifically those sources) that whenever Mahler conducted Tristan und Isolde at the Metropolitan Opera in the early 20th century, he became visibly sexually excited as he conducted the opera!
