Get Your Woo-woo Out of My Bedroom!

Woo-woo is notorious for popping its useless head up in places it doesn't belong.  Woo-woo keeps people from seeking and getting the appropriate medical attention they need.  It needlessly separates innocent people from their hard earned cash as they seek some benefit from a useless modality.  It still gets people killed for being witches or for being possessed by demons and, like religion, it wants to stick its grubby fingers into our sex lives as well.

A recent visit to the continually idiotic Huffington Post lead me to an article by Linda Savage "Spiritual Sex:  The Art of Multidimentional Orgasm".  I read it and realized I was stupider after doing so.  I decided to write about it here in an attempt to potentially buffer someone from a case of stupid so severe it hurts.

For fuck's sake (literally) do not fall for this kind of babble!  It's going to do as much good as homeopathic "Viagra" or crystal treatment -- nothing.  Sex comes in many forms between, not only people of all walks of life, but also animals of all types.  The birds and the bee do it.  Does this mean I need to take wasp spray with me?  Is the cosmic plane covered with guano from fornicating pigeons?  I wonder where Ms. Savage's evidence of the supposed "cosmic orgasm" is hiding.  Give me a break.  Her article's goal seems only to make sexually discontented people even more discontented because they haven't fucked the hand of god!  Yes, some people get off on "genitally focused sex" (which by definition is what it is seeing how they're our SEXUAL ORGANS).  Good sex is good sex and it doesn't involve a godhead or cosmic alignment.  If you are unhappy, you don't need Ms. Savage's help.  Talk to your partner(s).

Here's a sampling of the crap that will probably be, or already has been, on Oprah pretty soon (emphasis is not mine):

Spiritual Union which is the ecstatic expanded experience producing altered states of consciousness. It encompasses the "cosmic orgasm:" the timeless, boundless state where orgasmic waves move through all the energy centers. Cosmic orgasm can and does occur spontaneously to anyone, but as a practice, it can replenish the life force with release through the crown of the head.

She writes of the "fact" humans can achieve orgasms on "multiple dimensions".  WRONG!  How does she know?  Yay, quantum physics!  You're being used again to push some nut job's woo-woo!  I guess if this was true it would give multiple orgasms a whole new meaning.  Give me proof you sanctimonious "expert"!  She writes of the concepts of "chakras" and meridians to support her ridiculous claims.  All unprovable or, worse, disproven.

Like most of the garbage on the "HuffPo" (No, Arianna.  This is NOT a term of endearment.) and as I suspected, Ms. Savage has supplied us ignorants who like to rub uglies a book and CD on how we can transform our sex - Reclaiming Goddess Sexuality: The Power of the Feminine Way.  Not surprizingly, it's aimed at women because, let's face it, it can be easy to sexually satisfy most men.  I guess that must be the reason because her book doesn't address men's issues -- gay or straight.  Maybe we aren't enlightened enough or maybe her head's up her ass.
