Have great sex, help change the world
This year, I've vowed to mark the Winter Solstice with some sort of ritual. So, there I was, looking for ideas online, when I came across the GlobalOrgasm website. That's right, these folks want people across the globe to participate in a massive "synchronized global orgasm", at the time of the upcoming Winter Solstice (Dec 22). During and after orgasm, participants are asked to concentrate their thoughts on world peace. The idea is to create a huge surge of positive human energy in an effort to combat the high levels of aggression and violence present around the world today. I'll be the first to admit that the science behind the GlobalOrgasm project is certainly less than solid, but I'm happy to be a guinea pig in this experiment. See their blog for more.

I've heard about this, and I'm happy to join the noble cause. Being alone won't stop me! Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me! ;)
Ritz, this sounds like it's right up your alley!! I'm sure J will be happy to participate with you!
I would guess that participating solo may be more conducive to getting the timing right, but yes, I do happen to have a more than willing partner! Now I just have to figure out exactly what time we're supposed to do this--I keep seeing that the solstice is at "0:22 Universal Time", but I need to determine exactly what that means...
Well, here is the Wikipedia explanation, but I still don't know how you're supposed to determine it. Maybe if we just start at midnight local time and keep going...
Jennifer, I think that idea will be well-received at my house! ;)
*wonders when the opportunity will arise in this busy household today*
;)
Hey, where do we find out the results of this experiment? I mean, it was good for ME, but what about the worldwide peace thing?
Well, supposedly they were going to use some kind of random event monitor (there's info and a link on the website)...I just went there and can't make any sense of the data. There's a recap posted on the GlobalO blog (http://globalo.blogspot.com/) which basically says "we like to think we saw some positive activity but... So, I guess we'll just leave it at "good effort, everyone! hope you enjoyed yourselves!" ;)
Aww man, I miss all the really important events ...
