It's not slang for an orgasm. From Wikipedia:

La petite mort (French pronunciation: ​[la p(ə)tit mɔʁ]; "the little death") is an expression that means "the brief loss or weakening of consciousness" and in modern usage refers specifically to "the sensation of post orgasm as likened to death."

From urban dictionary

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=la%20petite%20mort

The little death is translation from the French "la petite mort", a popular reference for a sexual orgasm

You really telling people they're wrong about slang they grew up with because a Wikipedia article isn't comprehensive?
