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 (2,100 kilometers) 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.

It's good for people to ask "what's an orgasm?" in that education in the matter is critical to normal development.
It's bad when it's the woman you've just had sex with.

Sadly, an epidemic of headaches struck the village and only the chicks from the local brothels showed up.

I think the idea was to have orgasms, not prevent them.

,,, that particular face has spent over $1,5m during the last few years chasing photo opportunities all over the world. Does it look like orgasm is high up the list?
To: Rakkasan1
I bet they really get off on this kind of thing.
To: Rakkasan1
Now, see, I was under the impression that Orgasm Day was already a holiday in Rio. Was I wrong?

Does it look like orgasm is high up the list?Nope. That's pretty much got "Not getting any" written all over it. In big, red neon letters.

"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...This sentence lost something in translation. I thought orgasm was a good thing.
To: martin_fierro
Jeez, I thought they celebrated it every day...are they sure this isn't supposed to be the "day off"?
