So this will probably be my last post for a little while-- possibly of 2008, because I will be boarding the cruise tomorrow morning (!) and returning from Florida on Jan 1, 2009. But to end off the year, I wanted to alert everyone that the Israeli Orgy for Peace has been canceled. But apparently, the sex and masturbation conference is still going to be taking place in Tel Aviv in January, BARBARA.
According to Perez,
An orgy aimed at bringing world peace has been canceled after organizers received threats. The festival of sex in Israel was scheduled to concur with International Orgasm Day. It was organized by members of the Raelian movement, a "UFO religion whose followers believe humankind was created by aliens" - not to be confused with Scientology! Raelian spokesperson, Kobi Drori, said that the orgy would welcome all orientations, as long as participants were over 18. The orgy - intended to "try and bring world peace through mass orgasm, this by experiencing consensual sex and natural, uninterrupted pleasure" - was to be the first of events to take place in Tel Aviv. In January there is a conference on sexuality and masturbation scheduled featuring experts and writers in the field. Drori says the group will not be deterred by this setback. After all, he's got an important message! "We wanted to put into practice the saying 'make love, not war'," he said, adding, "Several years ago an Iraqi boy whose limbs were amputated was shown on TV and everybody treated this as if it was okay, but when Janet Jackson exposed her breast during the Superbowl the American nation was appalled." He's kind of got a point!
Orgies for peace!
