Artribune Celebrates World Orgasm Day with Erotic Art Gallery
World Orgasm Day is celebrated on July 31, a holiday established in 2015 as National Orgasm Day in the UK, Australia, and the US before spreading globally. Its purpose is to raise awareness about sexual pleasure and its health benefits, topics often considered taboo. This day should not be confused with Global Orgasm for Peace Day, created in 2006 by two American activists and observed on the night of December 21–22. Inspired by the occasion, Artribune has curated a selection of sensual and erotic artworks from art history, including homoerotic frescoes, mythological scenes by Giulio Romano and Correggio, Gian Lorenzo Bernini's mystical summers, Gustave Courbet's depiction of love between two women, Gustav Klimt's Danae, Egon Schiele's autoeroticism, and Hokusai's The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife. The article was written by Desirée Maida.
