How environmentally sustainable is your orgasm?

Is anything safe these days? Are they going to regulate what we do in the bedroom now? God, I hope not. But have you thought about how your sex life affects others? How it affects the planet?

Well, let’s take a look.

Is your porn ethically sourced?

Before you get naked are you watching something to get you in the mood?

Are you looking at pornography which is the by-product of human trafficking?

The more we examine the adult film industry, the more we know that there are those who are willing to use women for financial gain. That’s not to say that the entire industry is that way, but there are those in circumstances that find themselves vulnerable to being exploited. You don’t even need to look at the despicable acts resulting from child abuse.

The unfortunate thing is that a lot of the profits from the adult film industry don’t flow to the artists. It is because of this that those artists have finally started to regain a level of agency. OnlyFans and similar artist own-sites have grown in popularity because they allow a significant share of profits to go directly to the artist. They also allow the artists to connect better with their fans.

So when you’re picking your pornography, consider engaging directly with an artist rather than just clicking on a site that reposts footage that doesn’t reward the content creator.

Expand your mind

Do you know what the largest sexual organ is? Of course, it’s the brain.

There’s another way to spice things up instead of watching someone act out intimacy. That’s where erotica comes into play, yes you are reading someone else’s thoughts but your imagination still gets a pretty good workout.

You can imagine what people look like, or the emotions, or the other senses that are being teased and aroused. Maybe you’ll gain a greater appreciation for how someone else feels or what they enjoy.

If you haven’t read in the past, there are plenty of free sites, including Vocal. Plenty of authors write the different erotic genres (there are a lot). Have a read.

Is your ride good for the environment?

Well, I’m not sure how many petrol-powered sex toys are out there, and you’re less likely to want to put your vibe out to recharge in the sun. But if you’re using your toys regularly and they are battery powered you may be adding to landfill. More and more adult toys are rechargeable which is a great way to save the planet.

Also, make sure you are selecting a lubricant that’s good for you and the environment. You don’t want to have painful use of your toy and you don’t want to be adding to environmental damage.

There is a range of lubricants available: oil, silicon, water, and natural-based options are available. Did you know there are avocado-based lubricants? I guess that’s where smashed avocado comes from.

Is your love-making going to add to an unsustainable population?

Should we bring children into this world?

I know it’s a question that has been asked for years. But we also know that as the population grows that will continue to place a drain on resources and services. Are you in a position to support and raise a child?

If you’re not ready or in a position to be responsible for a child, how will you prevent a surprise? Remember that condoms can add to the mountains of waste around the globe. So what other options are there?

You could abstain. Ok, I’m not being serious there. I figure I abstained for the first 20 or so years of my life (not voluntarily so maybe it doesn’t count).

There are plenty of other things you can do and still enjoy yourself. You could play with yourself or have oral sex or make sure you stop at the right time (always fraught with danger). But find what works for you and your partner.

At the end of the day, you can have fun and save the planet. You may find ways to help people that need it.
