Attention: PARENTAL ADVISORY

Literally everything can be green. After discussing eco-friendly food, furniture, gadgets, transportation and stationery, let’s talk about something that – this I am sure of – concerns all of us: sex. There, I said it. Since sex is one of the best ways of relaxing, certainly for the busy MTB student or teacher, this should not be left out of our blog. For the fanatic green lovers and tree huggers, here are some tips and tricks on how to go green between the sheets.

• Research has shown that vegetarians consume greater amounts of the nutrients that help boost sexual health and performance—such as vitamins A, C, and E and potassium—than meat-eaters do. Try serving your lover these vegan aphrodisiacs to help put both of you in the mood: asparagus, bananas, berries, carrots, chili peppers, chocolate, ginger, licorice, nuts, pumpkin or soy.

• To spice things up, us girls can go buy a new lingerie set. But next time, don’t just go to Hunkemöller, but go for green undies. Enamore for example, offers eco-clothing, made of a mix of organic hemp and silk and recycled fabrics.

• For those among us that like accessories, visit the Sensual Vegan, for a wide arrange of natural body care, vegan condoms and eco-friendly sex toys.

• Another hint for the ladies: the Solar Vibrator! This speaks for itself.

• And finally: when you use a condom, put it in the bin afterwards. Each year, 60 to 100 million condoms are improperly disposed of each year in the U.K. alone. In this case, recycling is not an option.
