For one reason or another, my name and e-mail address are on about 250 public relations firm's e-mail lists. So daily I get a batch of e-mails extolling some new book, travel opportunity, gear, and more recently more hype about "green" products and services.
And while most of the press releases I get aren't of much interest, every so often one comes along that either gets my attention or makes me howl with laughter.
The release that follows got both my attention and cracked me up. I swear I didn't make this one up. So here goes.
"Green Sex Toy Parties Educate and Entertain the Environmentally Arouse" Northwest-based retailer of environmentally friendly adult toys announces the launch of the world's first "eco-chic" in-home toy demonstration parties. Earth Erotics' parties put a sustainable twist on the traditional sex toy party by showcasing green vibrators, phthalate-free dildos, natural lubricants, recycled whips and other ecologically and non toxic adult paraphernalia. "Adult toys are a sexual staple in millions of bedrooms across the country. I think it's about time we start considering their effects on our bodies and the environment. Erotics' in home toy demonstrations provide an intimate setting for consultants to share information about toxins while party goers investigate natural and earth friendly sex toy alternatives," says Jasmine, Earth Erotics Owner."
Wow, I never knew there were Tupperware-like parties for consenting adults. They sound like just what's we need to spark things up in the upcoming dark days of winter.
And since we're talking about green sex toys,they should make a lot of people feel much better for using them.
However, I have some questions. Are the "consultants" who put on these parties on commission a la Mary Kay cosmetics party saleswomen? And if so, do they get a hot pink Cadillac, or similarly garish car, to drive if they reach a certain sales goal?
There's much to be learned here as the greening of the boudoir begins.
