San Francisco-area couple calls for global orgasm for peace
2006-11-20
AP/Canada.com's followup to yesterday's SF Comical story...
Another great idea from the Rice a Roni city...
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Two peace activists have planned a massive anti-war demonstration for the first day of winter. But they don't want marching in the streets. They'd much rather protesters just stay home. The Global Orgasm for Peace was conceived by Donna Sheehan, 76, and Paul Reffell, 55, whose goal is for everyone in the world to have an orgasm Dec. 22 while focusing on world peace.
Eww...
Yes, ladies and gentlemen: The Pack Pork for Peace Movement®...
"The orgasm gives out an incredible feeling of peace during it and after it," Reffell said Sunday. "Your mind is like a blank. It's like a meditative state."
He must have lots and lots of orgasms...
Or at least spends lots of time thinking about them...
"And mass meditations have been shown to make a change."
Really? Could you name, like, one?
The couple are no strangers to sex and social activism. Sheehan brought together nearly 50 women in 2002 who stripped naked and spelled out the word "Peace."
Oh, so she's to blame...
The stunt spawned a mini-movement called Baring Witness that led to similar unclothed demonstrations worldwide.
Yes. We've seen their handiwork. It ain't pretty...
The couple have studied evolutionary psychology and believe war is mainly an outgrowth of men trying to impress potential mates, a case of "my missile is bigger than your missile," as Reffell put it.
I take it these folks don't have real jobs...
By promoting what they hope to be a synchronized global orgasm, they hope to have people channel their sexual energy into something more positive.
But what if it spins mother earth off it's axis and, like, sends us careening towards, like, Jupiter or something, man? Like you don't know what this awesome power could, like, do.
The couple said interest appears strong, with 26,000 hits a day to their website, www.globalorgasm.org.
Most of them probably come from Google porn searches.
"The dream is to have everyone in the world (take part)," Reffell said. "And if that means laying down your gun for a few minutes, then hey, all the better."
But if you lay down your gun, how are you gonna participate?

#9  Twice in my life I've done my bit for "The Global Orgasm for Peace" movement.

Once when I was 15 years old.

And once REAL good this morning.

Something about that is deeply disturbing to me in some manner.

#2  Hasn't this already been done? ISTR a bunch of goofy Brits organized some kind of masturba-thon a couple of months back, "Pulling Our Puds For Peace" or whatever. It was featured on Rantburg.
