"Wooden dildos, organic massage oils, and chemical-free lubricants are now a big hit," Ørting told Metroexpress.

Return to primal times
Ørting believes the eco-trend indicates that Danish women have a more holistic approach to life and sex.  

According to her, people are also slowly returning to the primal past. 

"In prehistoric times, women also used dildos made of wood. There is, indeed, something masculine and naughty about them. They feel right, and the smell of wood is like the smell of the Vikings," concluded  Ørting.
