RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Sex rarely makes the news in Brazil's conservative Northeast — until a small town declared an official Orgasm Day on Monday.

Espertantina Mayor Felipe Santolia endorsed the May 9 holiday, which he said was intended to improve relationships between married couples.

"We're celebrating orgasm in all its senses. There's even a panel discussion on premature ejaculation. But from what I've seen, women have more trouble achieving orgasm than men, especially in marriage," Santolia said by telephone from Esperantina, 1,300 miles north of Rio de Janeiro.

Santolia said the remote town of 38,000 people has been unofficially celebrating orgasm day for years, but that the town's former mayor had vetoed a bill making it an official municipal holiday.

The city council passed a law Saturday creating the holiday. Santolia, who took office earlier this year, said he would sign the bill later Monday.

"I'm 32, single and I have an open mind. Beside the theme is very much of the moment," he said.

Orgasm Day celebrations include a series of panel discussions by sexologists from across Brazil and a presentation of Eve Ensler's play "The Vagina Monologues."

Santolia said the idea of celebrating Orgasm Day at first created a scandal in this poor region, known for its religious fervor. But he said residents gradually residents warmed to the idea.

"I've seen scientific studies that show when a woman is unloved, when her husband can bring her to orgasm, it affects all aspects of her life, her relationships with her children, at home, with the city and at work," Santolia said.

Don't...they have better things to do? WHY THE HELL IS THE CITY COUNCIL SPONSORING ORGASM DAY?!? Does the government have nothing better to do than encroach upon people's sexual practices? Hmmm? Asexual discrimination, dammit!

This is my new most favorite holiday, screw Christmas. Why can't everyday be orgasm day?

Also:

I'm sure it let out early.

I've never had an orgasm =\

Yes! Well, who says you can't orgasm every day nayways?!

I don't... ha ha... I suggest practicing by pinching yourself before you do while masterbating, itll help...

I've never had an orgasm =\
:eek: :eek: :eek: :( :( :( :confused: :mad:

Discrimination I tell you... what if you aren't married... then what??? I'm not going to some Hooker just because my government sponsors Orgasm Day! And what of the poor people who can't experience such an Event!
Discrimination I tell you!

You've never had an orgasm? What's wrong with your hands?

Hey, when I was a young teenager, EVERYday was Orgasm Day!

I've never had an orgasm =\
I'm sorry...

I've never had an orgasm =\
poor you, try masturbation ;)

Heh heh, I'm dorkier than that... it still is, regardless if I get sex or not I still masterbate often...

I've never had an orgasm =\
I actually am more interested in getting a woman off than I am in having one get me off. I mean, I can get myself off no problem, I just want the chance to play with someone of the opposite sex. I was hoping to be able to with one girl who's also never had one, but she either got intimidated because she fears committment, or just got totally turned off of me the moment we met in person (or a combination of both), but I still hope to eventually win her back some day, because there's really nothing I want more out of life than to spend the rest of my life with her, or if she aboslutely refuses, someone a lot like her, which considering just how unique someone like us are in America, might prove quite difficult... I already know finding a non-smoking virgin over the age of 15 that would actually be fun to be around is next to impossible, and unfortunately, the girl in question lives like over 1700 miles away from here... (here being southcentral Wisconsin)

All I really want out of life is someone to spend the rest of my life with, and for a shy, sensative, introverted, insane, and overly selfless guy like me, it seems like it may just be too much to hope for. :(

I've always considered "asexuality" to be a mental pathology or sexual dysfunction.

And it is brazil, they evict peasants from their farms. I dont think they have much regard for the rights of an infitensimal (and most likely contrived) disabled minority.

Haha... that's gold.

If America adopted Orgasm Day, I would probably be the chief contributor, organizer, and even the damn Drum Major for the Annual Orgasm Day Parade.
XD

I may be wrong, but I think that a few groups nominate whatever day gets called "national day of prayer" as national orgasm day.

Some diligent researcher can check that for me, but i'm fairly certain i read about it last "national day of prayer."

lol! That's hilarious.

... Oh dear. That's a scary thought.

I define myself as partially asexual. I have no actual urge to ever have sex. I do orgasm, but the idea of another person involved in the act? Disgusts me. And even when I do achieve orgasm, it's more of a way to relax than a way to experience sexual pleasure.

I don't like to think that I'm disabled because of that. Or that I'm making that up. Because I'm not, no matter how many people would like to think I am.

Bah. Getting off my soapbox now.

:(


An even bigger problem is the fact that you're in Soutch Central Wisconsin. get out of there, please! Come to the Twin Cities. It is simply delightfiul, and also home of the best baseball team EVER... And if you, too, are a nonsmoker like the girl you're talking about, Hennepin County (home of Mineapolis, the slightly inferior of the two) just banned smoking in all public places

Meh...

Things can be good or bad with this Orgasm Day, It all depends on how you look at it.

Used ta be that "Orgasm Day" was right around "Paycheck Day" ... until of course that thing about betrothal and now it seems like "Orgasm Day" is another thing i pay dues on, that my check goes out to (like insurance) that i basically read about later but never really get to spend much time appreciating *sigh*
No really, giving or taking? What social class takes up the slack here?

poor you, try masturbation ;)
I'm religious when it comes to some things - masturbation is one of them.

Orgasm day, huh? ;)

Hmmmmmm...... :D

That sounds like a better reason for a holiday than any other I've heard.

Think you'll ever go there someday? ;) :fluffle: :D

If so, can I tag along? :D :D :D

I have an orgasmn when I feel the need.

It wasn't today.

"Contrived"? "Mental Pathology" "Sexual Disfunction"?

Gee thanks. You're all too kind.

But seriously, doesn't the government have more important things to do than messing with people's bedrooms?

Religious as in an actual religion, or just that you never deviate?

I say don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

You're veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrry welcome.

Oh come on.

Where's your holiday spirit?

I adopted this holiday already. :)

Somehow I think a day saying "Yay orgasms!" hardly counts towards government intrusion into people's personal lives.

You're veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrry welcome.
*Fumes about discrimination, tries to call ACLU, realizes they only defend extremist lunatics and sexual deviants, joins NRA for no apparent reason*

BEST HOLIDAY EVER!

I've never had an orgasm =\
How old are you?

Shouldn't everyday be orgasm day?

I've never had an orgasm =\
Weren't you also the one that said you never masturbated? Or was that someone else on the "I want to stop masturbaing" thread?

And generally two reasons you've never had an orgasm:

1. You have some kind of mental trauma/block against it.

2. You keep picking guys who have NO clue how to take care of a woman sexually.

I've always considered "asexuality" to be a mental pathology or sexual dysfunction.
You bigoted pig! It's not unnatural! Asexuality it perfectly natural!

...AND IT'S GENETIC!

/me runs :D

I'm religious when it comes to some things - masturbation is one of them.

Which religion... I'm pretty sure the Bible has no specific ruling on masturbation.

If you mean MN, I'd almost consider that a step-down from WI, although I do want to get the hell out of here, because the only kind of life it has to offer is some kind of alcohol and/or drug addiction and a dead-end job to support the habbit, and I've yet to find a person who didn't agree with that assessment. But no, my biggest problem is winning her back, because I know I could be happy with her regardless of where I lived, because as long as she was there to play with, I'd never be bored (and consequently, she'd rarely be dressed ;)).

Can we have one in General?

*haves orgasm*

well that was fun

Come one, come all!

Can we have one in General?
Right now? And why restrict it too merely one day?

I've never had an orgasm =\

I've already had two today. I highly recommend it.

I just want the chance to play with someone of the opposite sex

Everyone needs a hobby, I guess... :confused:

You see, in a logical, rational world, someone like you should have people queuing up outside their door. But nooo... people are so fussy. :fluffle:

Genius! Pure genius! Too bad there are so many here where I live who would have appoplexy if anyone even suggested such a thing. Sigh.

"Contrived"?

In your case? You have pretty much explicitly stated that it is.

lol how fabulous! And I'm sure it'll be great for the Rio Anne Summers, therefore boosting the economy! And just think of the baby boom in 9 months! This could be the best thing that ever happened to Brazil!

You'd think so, but girls seem to like guys with loud personalities and are fun to be around when they're not busy treating them like utter shit because they only care enough to use them for their own pleasure, whereas I'm about as emotional as Mr. Spock (a natural reaction to knowing you could be considered insane since the age of 6, suffering from depression since the age of 11, being ridiculed and ostracized by the majority of your class since the age of 12, turning suicidal at the age of 16, and consistently losing what little friends you've managed to make for no discernable reason) and treat women as if they were the Goddess Eris in the flesh. I even want to name my first daughter Eris (and, after discussing it with the girl I want to win back, her middle name would be Faelan).

I'm basically living proof that nice guys do in fact finish last. Sometimes I wish I could be an egocentric asshole and have women faun over me, but it's just not in me to care more about myself than I do others, and in this shallow, materialistic society, caring about others more than myself has brought me very little comfort and a whole lot of pain. About the only things that have kept me going this long is burying myself in my own little world (which I'm unable to get myself out of and makes interacting with other people in person rather difficult for me), smoking lots of pot, and masterbating on a pretty much daily basis...
