Not sure exactly what you mean by "compound knowledge",
but I can tell you from experience (!) that the more
subjective an experience of orgasm (or anything else),
the more vivid will that experience be. Where by
"subjective" I mean undistracted by any thoughts, or
anything else: just pure sensation. To devalue
subjectivity is to devalue experience, which is, for
us, life itself.
