Vagina Monologue - San Diego & Hawaii

The VM play is about violence done against women, they not denounce the violence but also offer relief to the victims. They were touched by our Clitoraid message and offered to help us collect donations.
Incidentally Dr. Bowers, our head Clitoraid Surgeon, was part of the VM in Los Angeles in 2004 with the famous Eve Ensler who originally wrote the VM that is now performed around the world.

Many people seemed to know about female genital mutilation, and were happy to learn that a new kind of surgery can help the victims.

Raelian women worldwide invite humanity to celebrate February as ‘Women's Sexual Pleasure Month’ and share their ‘comings’

February 14 2011, Categoría: Press-Releases
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 9 – A worldwide group of Raelian women with a wide range of backgrounds have declared February “Women’s Sexual Pleasure Month,” and they’re hoping the idea will catch on across the planet.

“February 14 is already known around the world for the celebration of love and sexuality, and February 6 is “Zero Tolerance Day for Female Genital Mutilation,” said Brigitte Boisselier, Ph.D., spokesperson of the Raelian Movement and head of Clitoraid. “Although Valentine’s Day celebrates and reveres love and sexual pleasure, Zero Tolerance Day for FGM reminds us that even today, millions of women still endure extreme sexual repression and cruelty in Africa and some parts of Asia. But what’s even more disturbing is that official studies show that only 40 percent of women in the Western world have a satisfying sexual life. To summarize, we’re living in a ‘dead clitoris society’ and we need to encourage every woman to live her sexual life fully.”

Boisselier said many Raelian women are already involved in the humanitarian organization Clitoraid (Clitoraid.org), which helps victims of Female Genital Mutilation recover a sense of pleasure and dignity and obtain surgical assistance to restore clitoral functioning.

“While promoting our organization to women in Europe and America, we realized that many people consider this topic to be less than a life or death matter,” Boisselier said. “They think we should focus on bringing food to these women instead. I couldn’t believe these comments because I knew how deeply the circumcised women have suffered and are still suffering. They experience excruciating pain during each act of intercourse, have recurrent infections and feel their lives are simply not worth living. But I realized that Western women have in a sense circumcised themselves, refusing consciously or unconsciously, out of fear, guilt or simple ignorance, to just let go and enjoy their clitoris. This is why we feel we need to help them all. Whether they have been physically or psychologically circumcised, we want to help women recover their sense of pleasure.”

Boisselier said the benefits of orgasm are well documented, especially when it is reached through masturbation. From the production of amphetamine and endorphins to the benefits of a greater blood flow, scientists agree that orgasms are a natural means to balance one's life.

“During February, we will also reach out to women who have healthy sexual lives to help us help those who cannot reach orgasm,” Boisselier said. “Clitoraid is providing special new ‘choco-clit boxes’ for Valentine's day in the United States and some European countries. We’re encouraging women to donate a small amount to their personal 'clit-box' each time they have an orgasm and to send their ‘coming benefits’ to Clitoraid by the end of the month.”

“In contrast to most antiquated religions, the Raelian philosophy encourages women to live a free sexual life and promotes masturbation because most women cannot climax during sexual intercourse,” Boisselier explained. “During February, we plan to have international discussions through blogs, tweeting, and other means of sharing and chatting to celebrate women’s sexual pleasure and encourage women to seek it.”

Boisselier added that a video campaign explaining the clitbox concept was released this week and said she hoped it will “go viral enough to promote the February celebrations.”

Women’s Sexual Pleasure Month Declared

Women’s Sexual Pleasure Month Declared
by Jeff Schult

February has been declared “Women's Sexual Pleasure Month” by a worldwide group of Raelian women. We’d apologize for not having let you know this a week or two ago, but the Raelian Movement didn’t get around to putting out the press release until today, and we think that most of our readers know that we’re in favor of every month being Women’s Sexual Pleasure Month.

“February 14 is already known around the world for the celebration of love and sexuality, and February 6 is 'Zero Tolerance Day for Female Genital Mutilation,' said Brigitte Boisselier, Ph.D., spokesperson of the Raelian Movement. “Although Valentine's Day celebrates and reveres love and sexual pleasure, Zero Tolerance Day for FGM reminds us that even today, millions of women still endure extreme sexual repression and cruelty in Africa and some parts of Asia. But what's even more disturbing is that official studies show that only 40 percent of women in the Western world have a satisfying sexual life. To summarize, we're living in a ‘dead clitoris society’ and we need to encourage every woman to live her sexual life fully.”

Many Raelian women are already involved in the humanitarian organization Clitoraid, which helps victims of Female Genital Mutilation recover a sense of pleasure and dignity and obtain surgical assistance to restore clitoral functioning.

The press release makes no overt mention of the sometimes controversial Raëlian Church, but we don’t have to agree with them about UFOs and theology in order to ally ourselves with their views on sexuality. Spiritual leader Rael also appears to be the guiding force behind National Go-Topless Day!

Interview at Radio 3CR - Melbourne

February 12 2011, Categoría: Events
The Clitoraid stall at Melbourne Sexpo was a great success gathering donations of over $4000
Our stall was visited by a Community radio station 3CR presenter. Dale does a show called Girls Radio Offensive every Sunday afternoon. She was very touched by the Clitoraid mission and invited us to speak on her show. During the hour we were about to share and inform about how Clitoraid gathers donations to provide reconstructive surgery to victims of FGM to restore their pleasure and dignity along with post operative care, doctors and the hospital in Burkina Faso. We talked about sexuality and pleasure being a fundamental part of our being and when this is taken away it leads to emotional and physical problems. It was so refreshing to be able to speak freely on air live about sexual pleasure and the clitoris! On numerous occasions the clitoraid.org website was mentioned for people to find out more and donate online.
