Anti-War activists Donna Sheehan (no relation to Cindy), 76, and Paul Reffell, 55 have declared December 22 as a day for all those who oppose war the world over to have an orgasm while focusing on world peace.
"The orgasm gives out an incredible feeling of peace during it and after it," Reffell said, "Your mind is like a blank. It’s like a meditative state. And mass meditations have been shown to make a change." The couple have studied evolutionary psychology and believe that war is mainly an outgrowth of men trying to impress potential mates: "my missile is bigger than your missile," as Reffell put it. This theory puts them at odds with, well, everyone else who has studied history, or at least watched the History Channel once.
Nevertheless, the couple already has a large number of Internet porn surfing single men over the age of thirty still living in their parents’ basements who are all but guaranteed to participate, even if they know nothing of the planned event.
When asked if the insurgency would participate in the Global Orgasm for Peace event, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, the head of Al Qaeda in Iraq responded with, "Man, we are so going to win this war."

This particular event probably isn’t going to help anything, but these people are right that war is all about men and sex. If we can start fixing that, we might just build a future without war. The U.N. should make it a stipulation for entry that your country must be run by a woman.

Contrast this with the approach taken by the ancient Greeks in the anti-war comedy Lysistrata, where all the Athenian women got together and stopped putting out to stop the war with the Spartans. Worked out great for them, didn’t it?
While I certainly have huge doubts this "Orgasm Day" won’t change anything, it sure can’t hurt!

Once the first impression of ridiculousness wore off a little from reading this article, I had to ask the question as to what actual method was trying to be applied here. These people seem to believe that if everybody thinks the same thing at once, (supposedly amplified by orgasm) that thing will happen, as if mass consciousness can lead to a telepathic or telekinetic event. This would assume that each person has a tiny amount of telepathic power that gets added to the pool until there is enough ‘power’ to produce a result. How many people does it take? I’ve heard of this method being used to try and bend spoons and such before, and it also resembles mass prayer, as if many people praying for something might carry more weight than just one; but is there any documented evidence that ‘mass thought’ can have an effect on anything? If so, can everyone out there please just take 5 seconds out of their day and think of me winning the lottery? I promise to do the same for you.
