A friend of mine recently sent me an article concerning eco-friendly
sex. Which led me to think is there such a thing as eco-friendly
BDSM? So I searched the net for answers and solutions. Well let
me tell you there was not a whole lot out there. But I did find
a few gems:
Vegan condoms: yep…did you know regular condoms are not
vegan? A milk protein called Casein is typically used in the
manufacturing of latex for condoms. Does that mean its bad for
those lactose intolerant too? Well fear not there is a solution.
At this time there are two latex condoms on the market that don’t
use casein in the manufacturing process: Glyde Condoms and Condomi.
They are made with cocoa powder in place of milk protein.
Sex Toys: A study in 2000 by German chemist Hans Ulrich Krieg
found that 10 dangerous chemicals gassed out of some sex toys
available in Europe, including diethylhexyl phthalates. Other
studies on rats and mice claim that exposure of these toxic chemicals
could cause cancer and damage the reproductive system. Also many
popular erotic toys are made of polyvinyl chlorides (PVC) and
softened with phthalates. These include soft jelly and cyberskin
toys and novelties.
So what are the eco-alternatives for green-conscious pleasure-seekers?
The most ecologically correct choices may be metal, hard plastics,
pure medical grade silicone, or glass
dildos. Toys made of Polyethylene
are a good choice to. Polyethylene is a plastic so although it
is not biodegradable it can be recycled. VixSkin is a new silicone
substitute and PVC can be replaced with thermoplastic elastomers.
There are a few solar powered vibration toys that do not require
batteries: the Solar Vibe, the Solar
Sensations Micro-Kitty Strap-On,
and the Solar Sensations 3 Piece Kit.
Bits and pieces: you can purchase hemp sheets, organic massage
oils, edibles, and beeswax candles or candles made from hydrogenated
soybean oil or palm oil for atmosphere. Finally, dimming the lights
is a suave maneuver to lower kilowatt consumption.
BDSM toys: Toys made of metal, nylon cord, rattan, Lorica (synthetic
leather) and recycled rubber are a popular choice. Non vegans can
choose leather. Here are some BDSM ecological toys:
- Vegan Erotica is
a webstore specialized in vegan BDSM toys.
- Bondage
Duckie, yes this bad bathtub duckie is eco-friendly
- BadAss
Paddles are no longer made but maybe you can find one
second-hand. They are made from the scrap left over from the end
of the roll of tire making companies.
- Dildo
harnesses made from 100% recycled rubber
- I found a company that makes 100%
vegan bondage toys. Its called
Fresh and the products are very colorful and made from polyethylen.
- Wax play…well I mentioned above beeswax candles or candles
made from hydrogenated soybean oil or palm oil. The thing is beeswax
has a high temperature so its not a beginner’s candle play
choice, its for the pain sluts only. The temperature for hydrogenated
soybean oil or palm oil candles would be classified as moderate.
If you want to try hold the candle way up so the wax has time to
cool before hitting the body.
Happy ecological sessions!
