Green sex

- April 7th, 2010

I’m probably going into uncharted territory, but what the heck, it’s Wednesday.

You know how just about every facet of your life you can become more environmentally-conscious? The car you drive, the house you live in, your sex life.

Yes, I said sex life. I received an email from the good folks over at LifeStyles Condoms hyping up their new brand of environmentally-friendly condoms.

I was offered some samples to try out, but the idea of writing a condom review just makes my face turn red thinking about it.

If there are any readers out there who want to try them out and write a review, let me know and I can hook you up. (With the condoms, the partner thing you will have to take care of on your own).

From the press release:

Consumers are very cautious about what they put in their bodies, preferring all-natural and organic foods, beauty products, and even bed sheets. But do women know what they’re putting… down there?

For consumers interested in “going green” in the more personal aspects of their lives, LifeStyles Condoms is offering two products tailored for the environmentally-conscious — the LifeStyles SKYN Condom and LifeStyles Natural Desire Lubricant.</i>

LifeStyles SKYN Condoms are made from a synthetic material called polyisoprene. Polyisoprene is not a plastic, but a synthetic latex that is designed chemically to mimic natural rubber latex, but because of its chemical make-up, is more consistent in quality and control than natural rubber latex. Polyisoprene has no latex proteins and is safe for those with latex allergies, but it is also a stretchy and more comfortable fit material than polyurethane.

Natural Desire is dermatologist-tested and made with 99% natural ingredients. Formulated for a smooth, long-lasting and silky sensation, Natural Desire is paraben and fragrance free, pH Balanced, and latex compatible.

    Hello David. How do I go about getting some samples of SKYN? The hubby is a freelance writer, and said he would be interested in writing a review.

    The press release utterly confuses me.
    I’m not sure how any more environmentally-conscious their “synthetic version of polyisoprene: natural rubber” is compared to the latex they used previously. I can understand the allergy benefit, but the environmental benefit is not stated at all. It seems pretty ironic considering the fact that it’s their press release promoting their “green condoms”, I reckon..

    I also don’t take any comfort in anything plainly stating “99% natural ingredients”… Is that before you mixed them up in a test tube and created another mutant version of “natural rubber latex”? Or to ask a further question, where exactly would you get unnatural ingredients since anything “natural” could be interpreted as “within nature” or “environment”.

    This whole press release is a joke. lol.
