The idea was for participants throughout the world to have an orgasm during this one day while thinking about peace in order to emit positive energy to Earth.
The Second Annual Synchronized Global Orgasm for Peace occurred at 6:08 (GMT) on December 22, 2007. The time was the actual moment of the Solstice.
Global Orgasm for Peace follows in the footsteps of other mass meditation and prayer events which also claimed to be able to change the energy field of the Earth[citation needed]. The Global Consciousness Project (GCP) measures random numbers and claims that large events that create focused attention can create measurable effects on random number sequences. The Global Orgasm's organizers hope to create a positive change in the energy field of the Earth that can be measured by the GCP and that might begin a shift away from war as foreign policy.
- Global Orgasm Day 2010
In 2009 Ani Sinclair took over the cause (and website) of Global Orgasm. She encourages everyone to practice conscious dedication of orgasmic energy to world peace. The Solstice on December 21st is the day to culminate the practice for the year and then to begin again, practicing for the next year. She would like to help change the perception about sexuality from "original sin" to "original blessing", honoring and empowering women.

Scientific evidence
Studies have found increases in the hormone oxytocin at orgasm in both men and women. Oxytocin's role in increasing trust, pair bonding and reducing anxiety has meant it is sometimes referred to as the "love and trust" hormone. [2][3] [4] [5]
