Calif. couple calls for orgasm for peace
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."
Now I might not think the idea is going to do any good as a peace protest, but what the hell, I don't need an excuse to have fun but I might join in. It certainly won't hurt. The final sentence is a killer though.
"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."
Lay down your gun? I won't touch that with a ten foot pole.
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding. Albert Einstein
That might explain a lot. <snicker>
The problem with this, er, movement is that it places too great a cosmic premium on the human orgasm. The collective energy of all that binary fission carried out by the planet's amoebae should dwarf whatever ripples a few hundred million sexually active homo sapiens create on any given day. Unless we all pull together, so to speak, I can't see it having much effect.
Also, world peace is not a particularly arousing thought to contemplate during coitus. Kind of like the Victorian admonition to just lie still and "think of the Empire", it leaves me cold. Who needs the distraction?
A more multicultural approach would be to take a page from an old SCTV sketch where Dave Thomas lists all the various kinds of orgasms available to humanity. Swedes have smorgaborgasms; golfers have foregasms; professional celebrities have Zsa Zsa Gaborgasms. An infinite variety of ways to be one with the cosmos, to be sure.
1. I'd probably be alone (such has been my lot in life -- for my life) :(, and
2. I doubt that I (or anybody else, for that matter) would be thinking of world peace at that particular moment.
