” Every day of the year, men and women on Earth have had over 2.5 billion orgasms. That’s over 100 million orgasms per hour, every hour. 1.5 million per minute. With a partner or solo, join at Solstice time at 11:11 GMT or any time within that 24-hour period ”, cheerily encourages the Global Orgasm platform homepage, the group behind it world orgasm daywho holds December 21st or 22nd of each year.
The little death, the enjoyment, the big O… The orgasm has a thousand names, a thousand forms and is the subject of just as many fantasies and prejudices — so much so that it is often erected in the obligatory final destination of any sexual intercourse. However, everyone is far from being able to achieve it all the time, even at all (and that’s okay)!
In 2014, the adult cam site CAM4.fr asked Ifop for a study on ” brakes and sources of female pleasure in France “. Results: in the last 12 months, almost 8 out of 10 French women admit to having had difficulty reaching orgasm, and in the last three months, only 43% of women in a couple (probably heterosexual, etc.) had at least one orgasm per week.
So what exactly are we celebrating? And will this day give a boost to sexually active people to reach cloud nine?
Where does orgasm day come from?
Since 2006, December 21 or 22 has been World Orgasm Day. The origin of this date? The Global Orgasm association led by two pacifists, Donna Sheehan and Paul Reffell, who firmly believed in the power of pleasure. According to the New Age duo, “ if we all made love together, a wave of positive vibes would invade the world » and would allow « reduce violence around the world. »
Why December 21st or 22nd? The relationship to orgasm is hard to pin down, but it is the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, then the nights begin to get shorter, paradoxically leaving less time for nocturnal somersaults.
