Climax as per Man is an affirmation of what Man truly is, the Self enjoying itself in its Self-identity and Self-sufficiency in positive serenity to the ignorance of all things. "Man shall not live by bread alone" etc. etc. becomes awfully literal, his climax is not so much "like food" in resonance or congruence, it is literally substance as such, of which food is merely an imitation. That the Phenomenal is Ontologically subordinate to Man, that it essentially is the Self, that Man knows anything and everything he receives is not only formally his in actuality, but IN AND OF HIS OWN in potentiality, that "Heaven" is not to the detriment of the world but to its APOTHEOSIS; this is all directly experienced by Man in climax.

I do not suppose that any woman has pretension thereto, and am happy leave it at that. BUT there is a curious metaphor that might explain what women actually experience. Suppose that Man is like color as light and women are like color as pigment.

>While the doctrine of Heraclitus, that all things are and are not, seems to make everything true, that of Anaxagoras, that there is an intermediate between the terms of a contradiction, seems to make everything false; for when things are mixed, the mixture is neither good nor not-good, so that one cannot say anything that is true. - Aristotle

Man knows himself a Monad, and in turn the world as Monads within Monads, whereby tumult between himself and the world actually settles and enlightens both through superposition. Whereas women perceive themselves and the world Mereologically, whereby tumult further aggravates the murk between them. The latter having "multiple climaxes" simply because not one of them is satisfying, it is actually perpetual anticlimax.
