Le petite mort is the little death
It’s a euphemism

No, that would be la petite mort.

If you’re using the feminine version of the and little, why are using the masculine version of death?

The noun death is always la mort (le petite morte as used by the other poster is just wrong). The dead person can be le mort (masculine) or la morte (feminine). The adjective for dead is mort for masculine and morte for feminine, as in l’arbre mort (the dead tree, masc.) or la fleure morte (the dead flower, fem.).
