This proposal introduces the term orgasmilalia for classifying human vocalizations during coitus, emphasizing terminology clarity.
In a 1932 study entitled ‘Das Koitale Wort (coital speech)’, Frankel had noted ‘our knowledge on the words and sounds emitted during coitus is limited’. Since then, quite a few researchers have studied human coital vocalization between coital partners during orgasm. Nevertheless, a lack of proper terminology and classification to describe this unique phenomenon among humans hinder further advances. For the purposes of specificity, clarity, and relational usage, generation of new terminology is a need of times. I propose a new term ‘orgasmilalia’ (human coital vocalization or human copulatory vocalization) to this type of vocalization.
