It seems like since the 21st Century hit us, we all started to take note of our environmental awareness, the planet, organics, and a lot of other eco-friendly topics and ideas. We all want to improve our carbon footprints and, surprisingly, green has hit the bedroom and you too can have green sex. It may involve a little adjusting to, but almost everything we do these days to protect the Earth is important, even the products you buy to use during intimate moments.
We know you are practicing safe sex, so why not go further and use green condoms? Glyde condoms are void of milk proteins that latex condoms contain. Another brand called Natex uses their proceeds to help support families in Brazil. Wear a condom, help a family, what an eco-responsible idea.
There are many lotions and lubricants that you can change to make your lovemaking green. Instead of petroleum-based lubricants, try plant-based lubricants. Seek out body lotions that are paraben-free and are void of unneeded scents and artificial coloring. Some good ones I found were made by Good Glide, Firefly, and Sensua’s organic personal lubricant.
Turn off the television if you have one in your bedroom; unplug it from that power strip too! Illuminate the room with candles and play soft music when you cuddle. The type of bed sheets you use are a must as well. Find organic cotton sheets or bamboo fiber sheets. Try taking a bath together using organic soaps and bundle each other up in comfy organic cotton robes. Use the wastewater in your tub to water your plants or garden, which is safe as long as you’ve used organic bath ingredients. What a great way to have green sex and recycle at the same time!
Sexy toys can also be green. The more popular vibrators and other sex toys are made of plastic and many contain phthalates that softens plastics. Seek out toys that are made from silicone, tempered glass or 100% elastomer. Your sex toys should also be phthalate-free and PVC-free. A quick Internet search will award you many websites that sell green sex toys.
If your partner just loves sexy lingerie, you can find sensual fashions that are made from hemp, organic cotton, and bamboo. Even the famed Victoria’s Secrets claims they will be launching some eco-friendly lingerie in this year’s line-up. Don’t forget to buy organic cotton boxers for the guy in your life.
Our last tip may sound silly, but people who eat healthy diets that are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and organic foods have not only a better natural smell about them, their breath doesn’t stink! Eat a good organically healthy meal before you hit the bedroom.
Spicing up your sex life is always a good idea; having green sex is even better. The planet we all live on and how we protect it are such an important issue that it’s even entered the bedroom. Be innovative and use your imagination to find great ways to explore green sex. Make it a challenge between you and your significant other on who can come up with the greenest ways to make love. This is an easy (and fun) way to go green people! Try it out.

Good stuff!!
Another one you can add to your list of personal lubricants is Amore Personal Lubricant. It is 100% natural, botanical oil based and it smells great! The 100% natural if real - there are no chemicals at all, just plant oils.
The website also has lots of really good information on lube ingredients and what they do. Check out the FAQ and Medical References. http://www.amorepersonallubricant.com
