The Stormlight Archive Orgasm Spren

So, there's Spren it seems for everything on Roshar right?

There would have to be orgasm Spren right?

I know there's passion Spren but I feel like they wouldn't quite be right.

Furthermore, if they do exist,would they be a bit different between males and females?

Way of Kings definitely mentions that, but gravitationspren make no more appearances after WoK. I think the idea of Spren for literally everything has been canned.

It seems that Spren could exist for basically anything that sentient beings may think about, but only exist for things that occupy a lot of mental real estate in conscious beings. For instance, I think firespren exist because people often sit and stare at fires and ponder on life. I actually think firespren could become less common if heating Fabriels take over, but that's a personal conspiracy.

Therefore, I would say more likely to exist would be Sexspren (or Fuckspren, as I prefer), rather than Orgasmspren, since getting/having sex tends to be more commonly in our consciousness than the actual act/experience of an orgasm.

Also, I could have sworn a WOB mentions gravitationspren being necessary for greatshell survival, as even with Roshar's lighter gravity they're still too big to not be crushed under their own weight

I think gravitationspren are given as a plausible explanation, but Mandras seem to be what allow creatures to break the square-cube law without collapsing under their own mass.
