I have to disagree with plottoberry - I think they are reading "A little death" as a literal death, but 99.99% sure they are referring to "a little death" in the French use of the phrase: "Le Petite Mort" which is a euphamism for an orgasm.
This song is about teaching a lover how to delay sexual gratification.
This whole album is delightfully sexual- and this is just one more example of mixing power and sex. Sure, it is mutually pleasurable to have someone with you when you come, but the real point of the song is the powerplay- the singer is teaching their lover in self control. They have the power over the situation.
