‘Green’ vibrators promise sustainable pleasure

When world leaders in Copenhagen argue for days in knife-edge talks to save the planet, what more fitting way to relieve the tension than an environmentally-friendly vibrator? The global sex toy industry is worth an annual 15 billion dollars (22 billion euros), and uses up a mountain of batteries in the process, many of which end up as toxic waste.

But now one Irish company reckons they’ve got the solution to shake up the market: a vibrator they are calling the world’s first-ever “green technology sex toy”. The Earth Angel, described as “eight inches (20 centimetres) with a sleek white finish”, is a wind-up vibrator which comes with a handle built into the bottom.

Whatever rings your bells.

Doesn’t heavy breathing increase co2 output?

You’d think having to crank it up every ten seconds would kill the mood…

Bend over, Al.

$15,000,000,000 for sex toys? I’m in the wrong line of work.

I like the ones with the pull starter rope.

That is 20.3cm, not 8″. Eire is a member of the EU, and if I am not mistaken, electrical stimulators are included the metrification protocol.

$15,000,000,000 does not equal €22,000,000,000*

@Red you’re right. They must have converted the wrong way, ‘cos 22 billion U.S. dollars is equal to roughly 15 billion Euros.

Somebody ought to tell these people about solar powered battery chargers and high capacity NiMh. Still, a step in the right direction.

I have a flashlight in which a magnet slides back and forth through a coil and generates electricity to power the light. Vigorous shaking makes the light brighter and last longer. That gives me an idea….

or that virtually every battery is recycled before it goes in the dump.

Brilliant idea to win over the conservatives.

If saving a few bucks on batteries these stiffs on board (pun intended), I’m all for it.

Now we got to find something to convince the conservative women!!

#1 – Jägermeister – Whatever rings your bells.

Guilherme Cherman censors things he doesn’t like. Perhaps John should rename the site to Dvorak Censored?! The original post was:

You could always just use the energy from your motorcycle.

Too funny…

This will ensure people remain frustrated and disappointment with their sex lives when the gizmo dies before you even get started. (appropriate for catholic brainwashed types, i guess..) lol

The only good thing is that they will equate “Green” with disappointment. -as the current “Green climate movement” scandal has overwhelmingly proven. The only other plus? you wont have to worry about your “carbon credit” meter getting tilted when they put a smart meter on your mains..

This just goes to show how much is “riding” on the “green movement”
