Click to Help encourage World Peace and get a T-shirts, Thongs and Shorts
I heard this story on the news about people organizing an event to help encourage World Peace. That they want everyone on the globe to have an orgasm on 12/22/06 and focus on World Peace during that moment.

On the face of it, it sounds a bit silly like what beauty pagent contestants say to interview questions, but besides being an attention getter, it also has some deeper aspects to it.
1st thing is, that it's a win/win senario, even if it doesn't get a lasting peace, it will get attention directed away from tragedy and toward something more relaxing if only for a moment. The 2nd thing is that it helps with basic Pavlovian responces, it gives peace a positive reinforcement by associating it with a pleasurable experience. If you continue it then the more likely it is that it'll become a conditioned responce and develope into a habit. That habit would change the world if enough people did it.
I've heard a lot of people comment a lot of negative things about it, that it would result in a spike in the population, it contributes to AIDS and air pollution from the cigarettes smoked after and those are people along with the ones that are too wrapped up in the justifications for war that most need to relax and break the habit of focusing on the reasons why wars happen and get a different perspective.

Apparently the naysayers haven't heard much about the rituals in Tantric Yoga since that's part of what they're designed for is focusing the energy in orgasms and channeling it into a change in consciousness. I found great video that Ken Wilber was in that explains some of the principles that make those rituals effective.
He talks a lot about transcendence in his work and in the moment of orgasm is when most people are most open to that. It shuts off your internal dialogue and clears the mind to be able to connect with the bliss essential to a change of perspective. I found a good example of that kind of ecstasy that can alter your perception in this Beautiful Agony video.
Notice how she starts off looking uncomfortable and then her expression at 5:14 is the blissful relaxed kind that is completely open to a change from the selfish ego to connection to a greater whole. It's that sense of oneness and being connected to something greater that will bring about global change toward peace.
It's sort of like what the Buddhist Monk said to the Pizza Guy, "Make me one with everything" and gave him a $20 bill, but he asked for his change, the Pizza Guy told him "Change must come from within" The same thing will probably have to happen with World Peace, only by seeking a peaceful attitude within ourselves will it be able to spread around the globe, if enough people can find that peace in themselves then it will become part of the world also.
That's why having enough people getting used to associating the bliss in orgasm with World Peace would be important. Since it's the people that don't have enough of the experiences to be able to connect with that peaceful state of mind. By doing something that feels good, it's a step in the right direction to change their minds into a more positive perspective. Once they get into the habit it would be easier to learn the rituals, focus and discipline necessary to reap the benefits of Tantric Yoga. But everyone has to start somewhere.
I figured that's a worthy cause to contribute positive energy for a brighter future so to help spread the message I made some T-shirts, Thongs, Hats and Boxer shorts for people to use that would remind them of what they could accomplish. Also a video animation to illustrate some of the points discussed
Having people take time off to have an orgasm would at the very least distract them from doing any more damage if only for a breif period. But if enough people have that focus especially on the Winter Solstice that would help to generate more positive engery for change.
