sure the news is a few days old, but is such an item ever really "outdated?" I don't think so...

Brazilian Town Declares Orgasm Day

Mon May 9, 9:50 PM ET

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.

7. I think "orgasm" is one of those devil-spawned "science theories"

like "evil-ution." Good, decent births are done via immaculate conception...
