Global Climax Change: The Science Is Still OutEvents

You have just over one month to eat your nuts and fruits, reserve your favorite setting and line up the partner(s) of your choice. On Friday, December 22nd, you can help change the world by taking part in the Global Orgasm for Peace.

WHO? All Men and Women, you and everyone you know.

WHERE? Everywhere in the world, but especially in countries with weapons of mass destruction.

WHEN? Winter Solstice Day - Friday, December 22nd, at the time of your choosing, in the place of your choosing and with as much privacy as you choose.

WHY? To effect positive change in the energy field of the Earth through input of the largest possible surge of human energy. There are two more US fleets heading for the Persian Gulf with anti-submarine equipment that can only be for use against Iran, so the time to change Earth’s energy is NOW!

Our minds influence Matter and Energy fields, so by concentrating any thoughts during and after The Big O on peace and partnership, the combination of high orgasmic energy combined with mindful intention will reduce global levels of violence, hatred and fear.

Since the list of countries that possess WMDs includes the United States, India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom, the Global O gives most of our readers an opportunity to do some good. Make sure to tell all the aunties and uncles back in Desh that they too can change the world that day. I am sure they will all want to participate.

It will come as no surprise that the Global Orgasm project originates in San Francisco, the veritable yoni of spiritually-oriented activism. Amusingly sprinkled with double entendres, this article in yesterday’s San Francisco Chronicle has the details:

While the Global O may sound much like other collective actions attempted over the years, the O’s organizers promise something more on their Web site: “The combination of high-energy orgasmic energy combined with mindful intention may have a much greater effect than previous mass meditations and prayers.” …

The effect is to be measured by the Global Consciousness Project at Princeton University (I’m not making this up), which tracks the impact of major events on the output of random number generators. That scientific dimension distinguishes Global O from earlier ventures:

Not surprisingly, the Global O isn’t the first effort to synchronize pleasure in the name of peace. Or even just in the name of synchronized pleasure. For several years, a weekly climax has been coordinated online (Webcams optional), and sexuality experts say there have been several other attempts to link pleasure and peace.

I’m also reminded of the song by Pulp, “Sheffield Sex City,” which speculates on what might happen if everyone in a depressed Northern England city came at once. But the Global O takes the concept to a more ambitious stage and I am sure you will all want to take part. No word yet on a Meetup.

It almost happened once last year when I went on a night out in Leeds.

i read it earlier today - and funnily enough it reminded me of this quebecois movie called la grande seduction - out of quebec... it's really about sex - because the men dont 'ave jobs and 'ave lost the fire, and the women are grumpy. the grand seduction is of a cricket-playing doctor, whose presence will ensure a factory will set up business locally - and a yoga practising eye candy - it ends well - and there's a crescendo of beds knocking followed by sizzles as each window in the village flickers in the light of a lit cig.

I think these people have found a way to take slacktivism to a new level.

Due you thikn the Global Orgasm for Peace is a wink-wink-nudg-nudge appellation.

Just pick some mood music and everyone is good to go or come...

Ok. I'll pencil it in.

So by concentrating super hard and climaxing we are going to try and reduce global levels of violence? Am I missing some sort of link here? Can't we concentrate super hard and hold hands to achieve the same effect?

Yeah yeahh I know... not as fun.


 21 · Salil Maniktahla on November 20, 2006 08:09 PM · Direct link · “Quote”(?)

This is incredibly...something. In the 1960's, I don't think this idea would have seemed so brazen. And also, it's funny / sad / a statement of our times that so many people are willing to take up this cause...alone.

God, I can't wait for the country to swing back left. Let it be before my libido ebbs entirely.

Also, has anyone speculated about the fallout from the Global O? If we all get a piece to give peace a chance, will we see a corresponding short-term spike in the:
-birthrate?
-price of prophylactics and Kleenex?
-pants?

In the Post-Global-O economy, will the floors be dangerously slippery?

This is like Y2K...ame.

I'm very disappointed in your callousness about unprotected sex. We have a population problem back home mate ;-)
Everyone please sheath your sword before the big O.

let's face it, world peace has never been achieved. I predict we'll blow this opportunity too.

If a lot of energy/effect is detected from Iran, we can safely conclude that they have already manufactured a weapon of mass destruction.

3. platonic
4. married
5. fiancee
6. married
7. overseas
8. ex who became a lesbian apres moi
9. became a grandmother!?! wtf?!?

Hell Yeah!!! And if someone needs smooth music to get in the mood, two words: Marvin Gaye.

The lawyer in me says that nothing is ever guaranteed. But, I can also say that drummers do it in rhythm.

Well, here's my contribution, especially for Mutineers of a certain age who may remember these classic songs:

Here....

.....And here too.

OMG... too funny! I would happily join...

does this count as a global orgy?
(nice thought!)

coitus sans frontieres
(it sounds so much better in French)

And I was thinking Barry White instead of Marvin...

No giggles just guffaws. Ah, for such fireworks.

This reminds me of Wilhelm Reich's theory of orgone, and the orgone generators for which he was thrown in jail. He even got Einstein to consider his theories for a little bit.

Passive acceptance motto: "Take a licking for peace!"

Nice...lets all come, see and conquer. Anything for world peace!

I think that the ideal song for setting the mood would be 'we are the world'..though I don't think that it'd really raise temperatures in 'that' way.

Maybe we should make a poll for the best track for this very noble endeavour..

My list:

1. Sexual Healing
2. Come Undone
3. Faith
4. Its a small world (if you are into 'that' kind of kink)

Shanti Shanti Shanti

So do we get a reminder on the 20th or 21st?
