For World Environment Day on June 5, we speak to sustainability advocate and certified intimacy and relationship expert Andrea Tan on sustainable sexual wellness
When it comes to sustainability, it’s not often that sexual wellness will be one of the topics that you would think of. In truth, the relationship between both spheres is blossoming.
Leading a sustainable lifestyle requires you to be self-aware and cognizant of your conscious decisions, in the same manner where understanding your sexual wellness requires you to be aware and acquainted with your body and psyche.
“With the two realms, there is quite a common thread,” says Andrea Tan, a certified sexual wellness and relationship coach who’s also a sustainability advocate. “Both require you to be super conscious with your choices. You need to be really aware of how your lifestyle is currently, what is the lifestyle you’re aiming for, what choices you are making, and you also need to be really conscious of your body and its needs.”
It may not seem like it, but there are many ways to lead an eco-friendly and sustainable sex life. It can begin within the setting of the bedroom by opting for ethically made organic sheets. There are sustainable lingerie options on the market, as well as eco-friendly sex products. While organic lubricants and biodegradable condoms have been gaining ground, a truly sustainable sex toy has never quite been on the market—that is, until Womanizer’s Premium Eco made its debut.
