Orgasms The Coming Cancer Cure New studies suggest that famous Freudian student Wilhelm Reich may have been right when he said cancer is a consequence of an unhappy sex life. Until now, Reich’s theories of cancer have been banned by the U.S. government. The F.D.A. seized Reich’s books and ordered them burned. These theories have fallen into disrepute largely because they have been associated with macho sexists like Norman Mailer. But they may be right in ways Mailer and his friends never understood. Reich believed energy in a massless form flowed through the human body. This form he called Orgone energy. If blocked it could cause diseases like cancer. It flowed in great quantities during orgasm. Now western scientists must confront support for Reich's ideas from, of all places, the Peoples Republic of China. The Chinese medical technique, now popular in the West, called Acupuncture or needle therapy relieves pain and disease in many conditions.

Reminds me of another joke: How many Americans does it take to eat opossum? Answer, three. One to carve and two to watch for traffic. Ho-ho. John-Paul [The Infallible Pole] II The Vatican To the Editor: Really liked the opossum article in your last ish. Enclosed please find my latest effort, The Book of Dead Cats (Guitar String Press,- $8.95), for your perusal. This is a great gift item, right up your readers’ alley. Elwood T. [Tabby] Tabouli Hogsfart, Ohio To the Editor: Why all of this fuss over ERA? Personally, I prefer it over either Cheer or White King D, since it really does get my wash brighter. H.G. Enumclaw, WA To the Editor: Your chilling look inside the dark halls of Portland State University (“ Scared Stupid” ) finally made me see the dangers of being smart. I was smart for years, figured I ’d never get caught. I started out just foo ling around w ith books on weekends, but these things catch up with you without your knowing it, and pretty soon I was smart all the time, reading, doing calculus, even blatantly discussing logical positivism with my gang. Boy, am I glad I read your article before I decided to pursue this madness on to college. It set me stupid right away. Thanks. K.F.

But the Chinese system, which has developed over many thousands of years, corresponds to no known visible physical system of the human body. Many health researchers wonder if the lines of the acupuncture system don’t correspond in some unknown way with the flow of massless orgone energy. In a recent study by University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Epidemeologist Dr. Arne Gjorgov, such frustrating methods of birth control as the condom, withdrawal, long term abstenance and even celibacy, may make women five times more likely to get breast cancer. No studies have come to light on men. Many questions remain to be answered. Is it sperm in the vagina that keeps women relatively cancer free as Dr. Gjorgov believes? Or is it lack of orgasm and or flow of orgone To the Editor: I, for one, think the firing squad for sex crimes is a fine idea. (“ Bullets for Buggers in Iran” ) In fact, our own depraved America could learn a lesson or two from the Ayotollah. The other day I found my ex-girlfriend Sheila “ going down” on my ex-best buddy, W ill, and, if you ask me, a bullet in the head would be too good for both of them. Sam Schmuck Elko, Nev. To the Editor: The hatchet job you did on my favorite group, The Whimps, in your last issue really shows your true colors, you bunch of old farts. How can you listen to the high energy, non-stop, revo lu tionary ROCK ‘N’ ROLL of “ Anarchy in Cottage Grove” and call it “ flacc id” and “ puerile” ? What does flaccid mean, anyway? Why don’t you just go back to spinning your Rolling Stones records and those other reactionary assholes. We are the future of ROCK ‘N’ ROLL. Henley Nudle Walla Walla, WA To the Editor: Perhaps there is a need for articles of this type in a family magazine, but if there was a reason for running such profane, disgusting trash as “ Scared Stupid” I ’d like to know what it was. Really! The language used by these hardened professors and teaching assistants would fry the ears of a lizard. It made my blood boil to think of our children being bombarded with the energy that is at the root of the problem? A study is needed to show whether sperm are the key factor or if orgasm is the major element in this puzzle. The answer to the riddle goes to the heart of the anti-homosexual bias of our society. It would not be hard to test the issue. Orgasmic and non-orgasmic women should be compared over a period of many years. Sexually active and non-active women should be compared as well. These groups should be further divided by sexual preference. Such a study could prove that the women who have a multi-orgasmic sex life, whether gay or straight, are healthier and better able to resist cancer. Perhaps the Beatles were right. “ All you need” (to prevent a dread disease like breast cancer) “ is love.” + * “ concep ts” and “ in s ig h ts ” of these abandoned creatures.
