Global Orgasm Day: I come in the name of peace

Global Orgasm Day...need I really say more?

Well, of course. I've got your attention.

At 10:08 p.m. Pacific Time tonight, it will not only be time for the Winter Solstice, but it will be time that nations across the world will be coming together...sexually speaking.

Why? Well, for peace, gender and social justice, and global warming, according to event's creators Donna Sheehan and Paul Reffell, who co-founded the anti-war organization Baring Witness, a group in which people spell out words and symbols of peace in their birthday suits.

Yes, even global warming may be slowed by everyone getting off at the same time.

This is the second annual global sychronization of orgasms. Last year's intention, according to the Global Orgasm Web site, was to ease the political tension and to diminish the war-driven mentalitily between USA and Iran.

It's become an annual thing because that sort of friction still exists.

We all know the sense of peace is a pleasant little outcome from an orgasm, so that reason for coming is pretty explainable. For gender and social equality, the organizers say that "to combine the energy of orgasm with a conscious empathy...would be a powerful boost to the well-being of our planet and species."

But their reasoning for global warming? Well, replace one desire with another.
"The planet needs a rest from all our other desires, so what better way to get us to take a rest from over-consumption than an orgasm? And if we can combine that energy with a resolution to be satisfied with less of everything (except orgasms, of course), perhaps the collective mindset will change."

Orgasms changing mindsets and encouraging us to drive less? That's a bit of a stretch. But nonetheless, trying it out couldn't hurt...
