Ecosexuals - A New Definition Of Pathos
2007-07-20
Call them ecosexuals – green-minded men and women who date with an eye toward preserving the environment.

"The ‘green’ buzzword has infiltrated our consciousness in terms of what we eat and how we recycle and when we drive to the store or walk,” Heather Buchanan writes on Hamptons.com, a Web site focusing on Long Island’s tony summer playground. "Now it’s even entered the equation of ‘your carbon-footprint-free place or mine?’ The question is: Are you an ecosexual?” Here are several of Buchanan’s tips for ecosexual dating:

Guys, pick up your date on your bicycle if possible, or else impress her by arriving in a hybrid car.

When exchanging gifts, eschew metallic gift wrapping and packaging that will get thrown away. Instead look for something reusable, like a decorative linen napkin. Or give as a gift membership in an eco-conscious organization.

If the gift is jewelry, help recycling efforts by buying an antique or estate-sale piece.

When preparing for a date, women should avoid shampoos and cosmetics that use animal products or synthetic preservatives. A Certified Organic label indicates the product is eco-friendly.

In the green bedroom, opt for bedding made from 100-percent organic cotton hand-picked in India. Wash it in phosphate-free detergents and avoid chlorine bleach.

Use a dimmer light to save energy, and a ceiling fan instead of air conditioning.

To save water – shower together.

#11  "Ecosexual Girls Gone Wild

An Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden theme, I'd expect. Flowers in her hair, dancing around the trees - Slow mo of nude Eve eathing the apple, tied down by the snake.

Also popular would be the Eco-Mud Girls. High on the list would be - Girls without air conditioning.

#7  Jeesh - these people sound like they have about as much fun as two school marms visiting Emily Post's house.

The bike thing would be cool though. Daisy, Daisy, .....

#6  I'm a graysexual (aging). Believe me the aging thing takes care of the ecosexual concerns. You really don't have to worry or even think about environmental-sexual concerns unless you are still plowing up grass as a sexagenarian or a septuagenarian.

#1  Here is the original article on the original site.

Look at the pic and remember that date, dude. She'll be on your back for the rest of your life.

Only in a website like Hamptons.com can we think of green dating and not think of VD.

And to the ordinary folks who post here: The only green date you will get from a young, beautiful eco-sexual female who haunts the Hamptons will be the one at $2500 a night, $500 if you want to snuggle with her all night long.
