Anti-War Activists Plan 'Global Orgasm For Peace'

(CBS/AP) SAN FRANCISCO 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."

The stunt spawned a mini-movement called Baring Witness that led to similar unclothed demonstrations worldwide.

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.

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."

Why can't we have a mass public orgasm? I would love that.

Don't get me wrong, I loves me some world peace, but I doubt thinking about it is going to get me there, if you know what I mean.

However, good place to mention that during the FIRST Bush War, our local paper had a headline which read:

Bush After a Quick Peace.

Hell, aren't we all?

Meaning: If you're going to have a 'global orgasm for peace' why not do it where you can be counted, not just the limited satisfaction of private contribution.

Just think of the march on Washington!

It's too close to "every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings"

How seriously do you think the people organizing this take it? I mean, if you asked one of them why they think this is worth the time would they smile, give you a nudge on the shoulder and tell you they wanted to help people take a little humor with their protests? Or would you get a straight faced answer?
