Well, there’s a title to grab your attention!

Spanking Paddle

A quick whip around the office for ideas of alternative uses for this handy device brought forth various suggestions, from a primitive rafting paddle or a table tennis bat, to a cheese board!

However, this genuinely is sold as a Spanking Paddle, much to our entertainment!

You may be wondering where we found such an item, but whilst immersing ourselves in researching ethical products for ethicalsuperstore.com we stumble across many ‘interesting’ products which grab our attention. This is undoubtedly the most amusing items we’ve discovered this week - we weren’t searching specifically - honest!

So Why oh Why is this considered ethical we hear you cry?!?

Primarily it is because it was handcrafted as part of a fair trade project in India using sustainable wood, making this piece of ‘equipment’ the ultimate in eco-friendly spanking technology.

So what are you waiting for?!? The producers of these sustainable spanking paddles, Coco de Mer (NB don’t click on this link at work!) wax lyrical about the endorphins released from a good spanking, but perhaps the less said here and now about the potential associated euphoric highs the better…

I think the most important lesson to be learnt here is that whatever your hobbies, and whatever your persuasions, you can do whatever on earth it is that you do in an eco-friendly manner! And the moral of this story is that your sex life certainly should not be excluded from this. Buying fair trade condoms is a good starting point, but whether you stop there is up to you!

Black Gold Movie

Black Gold is a new film highlighting the plight of Ethiopian coffee growers, who struggle to sell their coffee for a fair price on the international coffee market.

This film follows Tadesse Meskela as he struggles to save Ethiopia’s 74,000 coffee farmers from bankruptcy. Ethiopian farmers harvest some of the highest quality coffee beans on the international market, and Tadesse travels the world in an attempt to find buyers willing to pay a fair price.
