I'm not a brain surgeon, nor do I play one in any venue, but I believe there's
some facility in the brain which quite quickly shuts down conscious activity
upon a loss of blood pressure. When your heart stops, during a coronary, for
example, you are out. You couldn't defib yourself even if you saw it coming.
That's my understanding, anyway. Any doctors out there able to decapitate this
notion?

As for orgasms, there's just a wad of mind-body problems in that question.
