> I pass out during a really good orgasm. Well, “pass out” may not be the correct term–I become completely limp, with no ability to make sound or voluntary movement of any kind. The duration depends on how good the orgasm was, but rarely lasts for more than a few minutes.

OP here. In addition to the theatrics, I do something similar to what you describe. I rarely pass out completely, but with a really top notch orgasm I do black out briefly and get that tingly-all-over feeling as I go completely limp.  
I think it has to do with how I’ve learned to maximize my orgasm by sort of holding my breath as I cum. (Well, not really _holding_ my breath per se. More like clamping down hard with your entire body and not breathing.)  
I never took lessons or anything; I just discovered it by accident in my youth and now I’ve gotten really good at it. Like other things.

:rolleyes: There’s nothing that contortionist about it, you just have to be sitting down rather than lying down. Well, it helps to be sitting on a toilet.
