Sex is natural, but not always

You could sound like a big sourpuss by wondering outloud about eco-sexism as I did recently. That’s okay. “Sexuality is not a bad thing, its (sic) the misuse of sexuality that is,” said Miss Mo. True, and as Mike D. pointed out, “sexuality is the greenest free-energy technology...sex has to be returned from the gutter to the altar.” Hallelujah. “Your body is a temple,” reminds my mother.

However, to tap into their erotic nature, people are cluelessly polluting their bodily houses of worship with some unnatural and poisonous props. Most sex toys are toxic to the ecosystem, not to mention the human body’s environment. Side effects of a dirty mind shouldn’t include knocking your hormones out of whack, toxic shock syndrome, haplessly feeding the oil industry, or torturing widdle bunnies.

You already avoid petroleum-based lubricants because they eat holes in condoms. But did you realize that most sex toys are made from black gold? And jelly props are loaded with phthalates, which Europe outlawed four years ago in kids' toys. Many in the U.S. say phthalates are safe but the ingredients may cause cancer, lower sperm counts, and thwart childhood development.

Ms. Razorblade of The F Word has written the best rundown about this stuff, so read it all the way through (part 2, too). She suggests splurging on pricier props made of glass, pyrex, silicon, wood, or stainless steel. Nontoxic lubes are increasingly easy to find, such as...

...Angelic Aromas, organic Sensua, herbal O'My, and aloe and chamomile lube from Jason cosmetics. For animal rights activists who shun leather goods due to cruelty to animals (don't get started on the inhumane treatment of humans in the *mainstream* porn industry),  Green LA girl found the Veg Sex Shop stocking animal-free products; another is Vegan Erotica.  PETA members who like to watch can stare at VegPorn while neo-hippies can ogle silly exhibitionist Swedes.

Greener sources for accessorizing your bedroom include Womyns' Ware,  Blowfish,  fair trade sex shop Coco de Mer.  Check out the high-end EcoBoudoir, which Inhabitat just covered.
Aside from the potential health hazards, there's the issue of sex-toy trash to add to the world's e-waste stockpiles. Unless your solar-powered vibrator is soaking up its seven-hour charge on your windowsill, you're dealing with batteries loaded with toxic heavy metals. Forget about recycling your tired accessories (though I’ve seen alley pickers happily score discarded dildos, and there are some random second hand S&M shops). Surely you won't take up Fausto’s (left) suggestion: "Let’s set up a system of condom recycling."

It's so wonderful to know that sex toys industry has also evolved into a more "environment-friendly" theme. Who would've taught that lubricants can be so organic as well as the other sex toys available. Atleast, even if you are in heaven having intercourse with your partner, in a way you're also helping to save our mother nature. LOL! :)

The natural sex is the best way of getting pleasure in life.

All the artificial things like toy's and vibrator cant give the real pleasure they only help to achieve orgasm but no satisfaction!

Your sex drive does not act in isolation so to enjoy natural sex they way you are supposed to try these simple diet changes that are proven to work.

[viagra online]

Feel free to use these--resize them and modify them--for your own stuff, especially if you just want to play around, give it a practice try before investing time and potentially money into a map project. I've included them with transparent backgrounds to make it easy to drop into your map.

Health is the best treasure (which) a man can possess. Money can do many things, but it cannot buy happiness. However, so long as man has good health, he can enjoy the pleasures of human life. Thank you so much for this tutorial! Red velvet is my husband's favorite, so he LOVED the heart surprise in the middle when he cut into his birthday cake last week :)

Its a lot cheaper to buy a generic battery for my ibook rather than buying one from the apple store...has anyone had any problems with a generic one? do they work the same or are they a lot worse?

[Australian Adult Shop]

Great idea! i’m going to give your recycling a shot. but there are other things that are not better recycled.

Imagine what it would like to be an individual who is both gay and a
member of a racial/ethnic group. Would this have a positive or
negative impact, or both?

[Shannon]

YEs, some adult toys are just toxic. We must only get these toys from the expert and only to those who have experience in making these toys. They are eco friendly. check these out xandria products.

Most people are not aware that petroleum based lubricants can eat a hole in condoms and i am glad you pointed this out. They should post a warning about that on condom boxes itself and this is coming from a sex toy shop website owner www.asextoyshop.com

[green for health]

I found a great site called Love Me Naturally that focuses ONLY on lubes that don't have any chemicals. They carry Angelic Aromas and Sylk too, plus others - www.LoveMeNaturally.com

[green LA girl]

You just totally killed my -- whatever --

Vegan condoms seem to be working just as well as the non-vegan type --

I personally think fausto is onto something... but I will not be the one recycling the condoms.
