orgasmic

Definition

Of or relating to orgasms.

Etymology

From Ancient Greek. The historically "correct" form is orgastic. Nouns from Ancient Greek that end in -sm regularly form adjectives ending in -stic: for example, enthusiasm / enthusiastic, sarcasm / sarcastic. By way of counterexample, the ahistorical -mic also appears in the terms protoplasmic and cataclysmic (instead of *protoplastic and *cataclystic).

Example Sentences

• "Seemingly every year, another study announces that married women are more orgasmic than single women."
• "They've helped non-orgasmic women become orgasmic, they've helped orgasmic women become more orgasmic, and they've helped many women experience their first multiple orgasms (we'll talk about that later!)."
• "The gentler the sensation or touch the more orgasmic I am."
