current event
by 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."

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!
Oh My God.
it cure can't hurt
"Hey guys, let's increase the world's population and spread STD." What in the world is wrong with these people? Did they ran out of medications or something? It's not even for philosophical debates anymore, it's just purely ridiculous!
I don't think I'm going to be spreading any STDs with my wife, and if we increase the world's population, I'm cool with it. Other people will either responsibly follow suit or screw up their lives, which is no different than any other day. I just have one more argument now in my repetoir to pester my wife with for that day, so I'm cool with it.
There is absolutely NO relationship between an orgasm and world peace. This whole thing is just ridiculous; thought up by some perverted person who had been deeply traumatized. It's like some kind of twisted cult or something.
[This however does remind me of that Priory of Sion in 'Da vinci Code']

Mr Pot, meet Mr Kettle...
Since when is the idea for sex between consenting adults indicatie of a "perverted person who had been deeply traumatized"? OTOH, a deep seated revulsion to sexual intimacy is often an indicator of that.
Are you suggesting we go around and asking people to join in a world wide orgasm sex club? This is obviously a sign of disturbed mental thinking. You want to help the world? Join the Red Cross, or help the poor, or set up donation shops.
[I already joined the Red Cross a few years ago]
I suggested nothing of the sort. It's a silly idea - on the other hand, it's not a perverted or twisted idea. Those were your words.
Consensual sex between adults isn't, in itself, indicative of anything perverted nor twisted. However, the fact that someone thinks they're those things is a sign that they are emotionally damaged.
Basically, I'm saying... get off the religious-conservative "sex-is-bad" 14th-century morality bandwagon and visit the 21st century.
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.
I don't think that they are trying to achieve world peace through telepathy. Rather, the woman said most conflicts are started by men's desire for a mate. So, she said if we satisfy that desire, world peace can be achieved.
[It still sounds like some kind of perverted thinking to me]
O.K.
That kind of sounds like the same idea as they used to use in institutions; giving saltpeter to the male inmates to curb agression and other behavior. Except this idea is at least more fun.
Do you see why I criticize them? They are just a bunch of sick perverts! I swear, people have nothing better to do these days.
One more thought and I'm outta here on this one. If they are saying that wars are caused by men desiring a mate; how many good achievments in the world may we acknowledge to the same thing? Poetry, music and other creative endeavors are many times driven by the same sexual force.

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.
