1001 ways to write an orgasm

It occurred to me that the act of sex is the perfect mini-narrative, a kind of ur-narrative. Aristotle said that every good plot needs to have a beginning, middle and an end. The ur-end is the orgasm. The sex narrative is incredibly predictable: it always ends in an orgasm. (When it doesn't end in an orgasm, it becomes a different kind of story. But I'm not talking about that different kind right now.)

So how to write the orgasm? I trawled some of my favourite (and some not-so-favourite) lotrps, HP and assorted other fics to find out how writers do it and how writers vary it, how we play variations on that most standardised trope of all: the orgasm-ending.

(I mean after all: coming is coming, right? Or is it?)

If you can supply the missing links to any of these, I'd be much obliged.
