Sustainable sex

How long can you endure? Last? Go on pleasuring your partner(s) without reaching the point of no return (of which scientists have been warning for years of course)? These might be the first puns that would come to mind when the two terms are associated. Sustainable sex seems to be a lethal duo fit for a 10 cents gossip magazine (or playboy at best). Still I am not going to invade the airwaves of a free radio such as Radio Ara here in Luxembourg with anything less than honest conversations and interviews on a topic that should be of a greater focus than that of green roofs, bikes and gardens since it lies at the base of our human interactions and as any natural builder could tell you, the secret of a sturdy, lasting building lies in it's foundation, it's base. So if we are to go on and march in the streets, protest and demand change why not do the exercise of acting locally first and foremost and change or reconsider the things that we can alter on a regular basis, with no politicians to hold our hand (or other body parts)? Whether it's starting a community garden, riding and learning how to fix a bike, going vegan or just as simple learning more about what makes us happy in our day to day life can be simple yet meaningful steps towards a more sustainable society.

So for this and many other reasons next week's program will focus on sex as part of this network of influences that could possibly give us more time on this planet, network that we call sustainability. We'll hear from an activist from Vancouver that came into the studios of Radio Ara to openly talk about subjects at hand. Also this week if hitchhiking will be possible there are plans for interviews in the red lights district of Amsterdam for a next program which will still focus on sustainable sex with interviews from ZEGG, a community close to Berlin from the website of which you can read "We want to encourage everyone to take responsibility for their own future.  Only a wide network of multifaceted life models can become a foundation for a new society." http://www.zegg.de/english.html

On Radio Ara from 2PM on the 7th of November, that being next Monday and on soundcloud you can hear the ending of the program that was left out because I could not actually fit it in the one hour available but also because it gives more detailed information about websites that I will also write bellow:
