Couple Calls for Global Orgasm for Peace
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Two peace activists have planned a massive anti-war demonstration for the first day of winter.

But they don't want you marching in the streets. They'd much rather you just stay home.

The Global Orgasm for Peace was conceived by Donna Sheehan, 76, and Paul Reffell, 55, whose immodest goal is for everyone in the world to have an orgasm Dec. 22 while focusing on world peace.

"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. And mass meditations have been shown to make a change."

The couple are no strangers to sex and social activism. Sheehan, no relation to anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, brought together nearly 50 women in 2002 who stripped naked and spelled out the word "Peace."

15. Sometimes the magic works
And sometimes it doesn't.

But if you never try, it never works.

3. interesting:
"The couple have studied evolutionary psychology and believe that 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. "

Probably right.

17. Countdown clock has Nation Security implications
If we have a National Orgasm Countdown Clock, won't the terrorist know when to strike? I mean, like, who pays attention to their surroundings during an orgasm?

:rofl:

11. Ha!
I know what you mean. I could use a good peace of orgasm myself. I'll ask her, and let her knew everyone will be getting theirs on, but I don't think it'll do much good.

12. It worked for Clinton..
If Condi had spent a little more time under the George's desk in the Oval Office, maybe this war in Iraq would have never happened.

13. What is the down side to doing this
nothing, unless you are an uptight republican and think fucking is bad for the world. Maybe it makes a difference, maybe not. We can only try. Maybe next year we have a mass 'Fuck In' instead of some angry war protest where we just carry signs a shout blame. Lets get involved and be activists. It is our patriotic duty to take your partner and do this.

Having an orgasm makes me feel very peaceful. Pot was the catylst for the ending the war in Vietnam, why can't making love be the catylst for ending this one.

19. Anybody pick up the bias in this article?
That smarmy comment about "sex and social activism"? Then going on to describe the nude peace protest. Why do so many people who are otherwise educated link sex and nudity? Yes, they can be found together, but if you ever go to a clothing-optional beach, you'll find sexual activity strongly discouraged.
