Brazilian City Kicks Off Orgasm Fest
Filed in: Brazilian City Kicks Off Orgasm Fest
Lawmakers in Esperantina -- in the northern, impoverished state of Piaui -- voted during the weekend to hold the festivities Monday, complete with lectures about sexuality, impotence and of course, the importance of the orgasm, O Globo reports.
The city of 38,000 has celebrated Orgasm Day for the last four years. This year's is the first sanctioned by the city.
"Many problems with human beings like anger, sickness and stress are caused by dissatisfaction in relation to sexuality, Esperantina Mayor Felipe Santolia said.
The mayor also hopes the extra attention on the city will attract the federal government to provide additional funding for city works projects.
Reporters from France and Spain were on hand to cover the celebration as is the men's magazine Playboy.

Kenyan Man Sues Over Sex Strike
By ANTHONY BARTKEWICZ
A women's activist group in Kenya called for women to deny their partners sex for a week to end a political impasse between President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga. BBC News reports that a week was too long for one man, who is suing the G10, a coalition of women's groups, claiming the lack of sex caused him "mental anguish."
James Kimondo is seeking undisclosed damages for the stress, backaches, lack of concentration, "anxiety and sleepless nights" he says stem from his wife's participation in the sex strike.
According to the AFP, the G10 even asked prostitutes to join in the strike, and the New York Times reported that the group urged the wives of Kibaki and Odinga to participate. "Great decisions are made during pillow talk," said Patricia Nyaundi, executive director of the Federation of Women Lawyers, one of the groups involved in organizing the strike. "So we are asking the two ladies at that intimate moment to ask their husbands: 'Darling can you do something for Kenya?'"
President Kibaki and Prime Minister Odinga were at the center of a disputed 2007 election that erupted into violence, and their sharing of power has since been fraught with tension. The two leaders met for the first time in a month on Thursday -- the day after the week-long sex strike ended.
