Now that I've scared the bejeezus out of you about the sex toys you're using, let me remind you that Valentine's Day is shortly upon us. It's a mere 14 days away.

Do you know what you have enough time for? Enough time to visit a couple retailers that will sell you an environmentally and personally safe new toy. And one for your friend, of course.

Earth Erotics is an online shop that considers itself, "the natural food store of adult boutiques." While that might make some of you think bad thoughts about drums full of molasses and honey and flour... wait. I've gotten sidetracked. The shop has plenty of goodies for the boys and girls, organic cotton sheets and completely natural lubes.

There's also Smitten Kitten, in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. It's a stone's throw from a great gay club and a less eco-friendly Sex World shop. The shop has everything from "cock slings" to a non-toxic version of the Rabbit.

One more site, just in case those don't have the toy you want: Holistic Wisdom, a sex ed and product shop.

And then there are the homemade toys that keep you and the earth as safe as you'd like to be. Paddles made of wood, harnesses made of leather and oblong vegetables that have been thoroughly washed.

Happy Valentine's.

Get the party started
