In her new book ECO-SEX: GO GREEN BETWEEN THE SHEETS AND MAKE YOUR LOVE LIFE SUSTAINABLE (Ten Speed Press, March 2010, $14.99), New York-based writer Stefanie Iris Weiss combines environmental awareness with romance, taking on such topics as eco-courtship, eco-gorgeousness, eco-fashion, eco-safe sex, and ecolicious aphrodisiac foods. In the book’s introduction, Weiss offers the “dirty truth: If you haven’t thought about greening your sex life, you’re still a total environmental disaster. Your compost heap isn’t worth dirt if your bedroom is a toxic waste dump. Sex can be one of the lowest-impact forms of entertainment (and exercise) on the planet, but only if you do it right.” You can seek to do it right on April 15 at Bar 13 at the official after-party celebrating the book’s release, featuring DJ sets from Standenco, John Dill, and Vadim, who will be spinning tunes as attendees pick up signed copies of the book and hook up over Sustainable Orgasms—drinks made with organic vodka.
