Two peace activists conceive Global Orgasm for Peace and set goal of having everyone in world have an orgasm Dec. 22 while focusing on world peace

Two peace activists from San Francisco 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 two 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.''
The stunt spawned a mini-movement called Baring Witness that led to similar unclothed demonstrations worldwide.
The couple has studied evolutionary psychology and believes 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.
By promoting what they hope to be a synchronized global orgasm, they hope to get people to channel their sexual energy into something more positive.
The couple said interest appears strong, with 26,000 hits a day to their Web site, www.globalorgasm.org.
''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.''
I remember that cunning stunt. No pictures, Please!
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
What time?
Regards, Ivan
good morning!!!!!
This is my rifle
This is my gun
One is for shooting
The other for fun.
Any odds on who gets there first?
Bump to find later. This could get funny.
Never mind.
I'm not usually focusing on world peace when mine, um, er, occur.
I hope they have plenty of viagra
This thread might be worth revisting later just to read FReeper comments. :-)
Self, self, self!
Until forced female circumcision makes its way to your town, that is.
Oh, the irony!
