Good Vibrations

The big "O" has gone green--and I'm not talking about that sanctimonious fellow in the White House. From canada.com:
DUBLIN — 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 estimated annual $15 billion 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.

"You just flip out the handle, grab a hold of it there, and you just wind it," said Janice O’Connor, the co-founder of Earth Angel makers Caden Enterprises along with her husband Chris.

"So for four minutes of doing that, you should generate enough power to give you 30 minutes of full-on, right-to-the top vibrations," she told AFP.

She added: "I’ve only used it a couple of times, and it’s fantastic. It’s very intense, and sometimes, at the top level, depending on the person that’s using it, it can actually be too intense sometimes.

"That’s why we have four different levels on it."

The vibrator is made of 100 per cent recyclable materials and the couple hope it will encourage sex toy fans around the globe to do their bit for the environment...
So you mean you get to have an environmentally-friendly climax and feel virtuous about reducing your carbon footprint? Talk about "double your pleasure, double your fun."
