When a feeling of embarrassment or
shame is experienced that is so powerful that it is analogous to an orgasm;
shame is to a shamegasm as
pleasure is to an orgasm.
When Hannelore, shy and suffering from
OCD, was informed that she had been "flashing a lot of underpants action" while playing
drums, she had a major shamegasm and was shocked silent for several minutes.
("Shamegasm" was
first coined by Jeph Jacques, author of the webcomic Questionable Content)
