From a lively broadcast on how to make your sex life more sustainable to an even livelier after-party featuring a biodegradable (but very firm) banana penetrating an eager yoni on the notorious Bonoboville kitchen table, this DrSuzy.Tv episode explores the meaning of “Eco-Sex”… earthy body, conscious mind and bonobo soul.
“Eco-Sex” is also the name of a wonderful book (full title: Eco-Sex: Go Green Between the Sheets and Make Your Love Life Sustainable) written by my featured guest who joins us live from New York, EcoSalon columnist Stefanie Iris Weiss. It’s chock full of enlightening information and comprehensive instructions on how torecharge your sex life while renewing your passion for the planet that sustains all of us.
Being eco-sexual involves taking good care of your body, your partner(s)’ bodies and the beautiful body of our world, the earth. Eco-sexualists, like ethical hedonists, are sex-positive while trying to take responsibility for how our pleasure might affect others, even indirectly, such as the way we dispose of the “waste” of our sexual lives, whether breaking up with a former lover or throwing out a used condom. “The earth is an organism, like your body,” says Stefanie, “and it needs tender loving care at every level of its complex, intertwined system.”
Stefanie and I connected when she tweeted her appreciation for a Heeb Magazine interview that probed what else but the Hebraic roots of ethical hedonism and wild holiday bacchanals. Upon discovering that Ms. Weiss was not just any “nice Jewish girl,” but an eloquent eco-sexual warrior princess, I persuaded her to stay up past her bedtime (on her natural latex bed) to chat about the meaning of “eco-sex” and give us some tips on how to lead the environment-friendly erotic life.
Joining us in-studio is eco-sexual activist and “Raw Vegan Slave Goddess” Cici Cumminsreturning from her recent adventures in the Oregon woods with friend and fellow Counterpunch writer, Michael Donnelly. Cici, attired in nothing but a teeny bikini (that eventually comes off), serves up her dark green “10 Day Transformational Cleanse,” which tastes much better now (ah, the miracle of blenders), along with her raw opinions.
Cici gives a green thumbs-up to Stefanie’s book. Really, it’s the eco-sexual Bible. And just like the old Bible, reading it might make you feel guilty for not being as environmentally conscious as you should be. Well, there’s bad guilt (like feeling ashamed of your sexual desires) and there’s good guilt (like feeling bad about flushing a tampon down the toilet—don’t do that!). Eco-Sex makes you feel the good guilt, and helps you to take whatever steps you can to clean up your sex act… and clean up after it as well.
Read Eco-Sex for the details, but listen free to the first half of this show as we touch upon some eco-sexual points of interest, including a little of the movement’s history, getting away from the computers and back to nature, the controversial but ecological benefits of being ...-free, saving the bonobos as well as the bees, the most eco-friendly sex toys (Stefanie recommends Jimmyjane) and skin products (don’t put anything on your skin you wouldn’t want to eat). In terms of lube, if you’re not using condoms, extra-virgin coconut oil is the hands-down-there favorite (with a special shout-out to Cannabelly who infuses his coconut oil with cannabis). Though, as Capt’n Max brings up, the unsustainable fact that most of our coconuts have to roll all the way over here from Thailand is not too eco-sexy; using locally grown products should be another eco-sexual priority.
