Living the Green Life: Easy Go, Easy Come - Sleep With Your Neighbor

Want a CO2-free way to get your rocks off?

The Bite:

Boink your roommate or neighbor. A quickie with zero transit time is a genius way to let off steam without letting off CO2. (Don't even get us started on eco-inefficient trans-Atlantic booty calls.)

Benefits:

* Get some luvin' minus the mileage. If you drive just 10 mi to spread the love, you generate 8 lbs of CO2 emissions.
* Build community. In these crazy times, it's nice to really get to know your neighbors.
* Multi-task. Sex burns 100 calories a pop - get a workout without going to the gym.
* Post-coitus, kick 'em out without the guilt - they live right next door. After all, you wanted to sleep with them, not sleep with them.

Personally Speaking

That line in The Bite about trans-Atlantic booty calls? One of our Biter team members sure seems to spend a lot of time in planes. It's not worth the CO2, people! (Well, maybe...)

Wanna Try?

* Forward this tip to a good-looking, single neighbor or roommate. (If they don't respond, don't sweat it - it's probably just email server problems.)
* Ideal Bite's Self-Love Tip - you know, just in case forwarding this tip to your neighbor doesn't work out the way you'd hoped.

in our society of reactionary puritan ideals, it's nice to see somebody coming down on the side of more, rather than less, sex. a lot of social ills could be eased a bit if intercourse was a little easier to come by.

what BS you can spread to make a pay check. This BS pays good too.....the more outrageous, the better. We know that from Ann Coulter. Promiscuity has never paid of in the long run, regardless what the fad is. Some hangovers preceed a promiscues high for a life time.....not to mention how costly they can be.....

it's not more greener then going for it alone - most contraceptive methods have toxic and wasteful consequences, and not using them has even worse reprucussions on our overpopulated and disease infested landscape....

My boyfriend lives half a block away, and it is AWESOME. He never leaves the cap off the toothpaste and he goes home to poop!!

Kind of says a lot about what a marriage is in these modern times. Instead of getting married and living in the same house or having separate bedrooms, now we are talking living in separate domiciles.
