A Vancouver student has launched an Internet campaign to create a National Sex Day.

Jonathan Yaniv, a computer science student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, wants to make Aug. 21 a day devoted to the art of love.

The 21-year-old is trying to get at least one million Canadians to join the Facebook event National Sex Day 2008. If he's successful, it will likely be the biggest organized sex event ever. The Facebook group already has more than 130,000 members.

Mr. Yaniv has been preparing his guests by promoting safer sex, even sending out free condoms on request.

March 21 was initially slated to be the first National Sex Day, but it didn't go over well with Christians - it was also Good Friday.
