h/t Breitbart – a rising green movement believes they have hit on a way to form a closer bond with nature, to help save the planet.
Ecosexuals Believe Having Sex with the Earth Could Save It
If you happen to find yourself in Sydney this week, you have the unique opportunity to have sex with the earth. You just need to stop by the “ecosexual bathhouse,” which is currently part of the Syndey LiveWorks Festival of experimental art. The bathhouse is an interactive installation created by artists Loren Kronemyer and Ian Sinclair of Pony Express, who described the work to me as a “no-holds-barred extravaganza meant to dissolve the barriers between species as we descend into oblivion” as the result of our global environmental crisis. But they also see their piece as a part of a much larger ecosexual movement, which they say is gathering momentum around the world.
And they may be right. Jennifer Reed, a PhD candidate in sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, is writing a dissertation on ecosexuality, and says that the number of people who identify as ecosexuals has increased markedly in the past two years. And Google search data confirms that interest in the term has spiked dramatically over the past year. We may look back on 2016 as the year ecosexuality hit the mainstream.
Ecosexuality is a term with wide-ranging definitions, which vary depending on who you ask. Amanda Morgan, a faculty member at the UNLV School of Community Health Sciences who is involved in the ecosexual movement, says that ecosexuality could be measured in a sense not unlike the Kinsey Scale: On one end, it encompasses people who try to use sustainable sex products, or who enjoy skinny dipping and naked hiking. On the other are “people who roll around in the dirt having an orgasm covered in potting soil,” she said. “There are people who fuck trees, or masturbate under a waterfall.”

I suspect this weird new craze is more of a temperate forest thing. Where I live, on the southern edge of the Australian tropics, the first thing you do after a walk through the woods, assuming you’ve avoided an encounter with poisonous snakes, crocodiles, dangerous packs of wild dogs, stinging trees, angry kangaroos (seriously!), wild pigs, or in swampy areas like my cousin’s famous “shortcut”, black blood-sucking leeches, is to make sure you haven’t been infested by neurotoxic paralysis ticks.
The upside: if they are screwing a treehole of getting corncobbed, at least they are NOT replicating.
Groot?
I was wondering: Does it bother the eco-nuts that US money is green?
I like Farrah’s take on it better…
“I like Farrah’s
take on itbetter…”For Green losers who can’t get a date, there’s always Gaia.
Wait, I thought the enviro-crazies wanted us to stop f**king with nature…
I may be dating myself, but I remember my college freshman Psychology text book had a chapter on “Abnormal Sexual Behavior”. I’m sure newer editions have deleted certain sub-chapters.
I guess the next edition will delete that chapter entirely.
PS “I may be dating myself”. No pun intended. 😎
In a strange twist of fate , scientists have now discovered the earth has a headache. Sorry, not tonight.
Suddenly, even Islam seems like a rational alternative
Do you mean “screw Islam instead”?
And these ecosexual loons get to vote. But at least they do not get to breed except with the earth.
“says that the number of people who identify as ecosexuals has increased markedly in the past two years.”
Like th number goes form two to six, and it’s a 200% increase. The world is changing, I’m cereal!
Let me think. No.
I have a better idea. How about if GenX and Digital Natives settle down with a lifelong mate and are committed to the innocence, happiness and instruction of their children,
and the Boomers can go role around in sackcloth and dust in utter humiliation for what they have done to the following generations.
Oh yeah… that’s right I actually get moderated here…
Yeah that’s right… I actually get moderated here…
[it is because you’ve exhibited some behavior here outside of our published policy -mod]
This alleged new fad does add a whole new dimension to the term bestiality. In any event, this reminds me of the classic experiment described in The Naked Ape about the aberrant behavior of mice under crowded conditions.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Actually you can, but nobody would believe you.
Well, there are some more trees that will never recover; and some manniac will core them and use them in unscientific ways with bad statistics for some futurist nonsense.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he impregnates some loose Russian birch.
Maybe they’ll fall in lust with the Chernobyl Red Forest. That’d give them a glow…
Last article I read about Chernobyl was a documentary about how well the wildlife was doing in their new protected territory.
Maybe there should be an Arboreal Special Victims Unit (ASVU) to suck up some tax dollars.
This could open humanity up to a whole new world of STDs: lichen, bark beetles, toadstools, moss, …
…Poison Ivy…
Actually, going outdoors nude in my timber during the spring might get you a very uncomfortable helping of Buffalo Gnat welts which last for weeks. You’d have to be smeared with vanilla oil and Skin-So-Soft.
Forgot to mention that Deer Flies are crotch-lovers if given the opportunity by an animal.
So are they going to video these performance-art spectacles, if only with security cameras? I don’t think I’m personally interested, but there might be some potential customers on the dark web.
The radical-enviros’ self-serving schemes, including fictitious global warming scams, wasteful wind and solar energy and biofuels schemes have collectively squandered trillions of dollars of scarce global resources, diverting funds from real human crises, and caused serious harm to the environment.
In summary, radical-enviros have been screwing the planet for decades – they are just now becoming more literal and explicit.

I recall from my reading of The Golden Bought (1890, Sir James George Frazer) that there were fertility rituals in pre-Christian Europe that involved having sex in freshly ploughed earth – with or without partners. Part of a general belief in sympathetic magic, IIRC. Culturally this movement seems to be rooted (pun intended) in the prehistoric past.
So was Onan the original ecosexual when he spilled his seed on the ground?
These folk are truly a bunch of self-confessed w*nkers.
I have a couple of beehives with an appealing entrance if any eco warrior would like to commune with nature. I wish only to retain rights to video.
“number of people who identify as ecosexuals has increased markedly in the past two years”
Going from one to two?
“I think that I will never see, a poem lovely as a tree…”
Sorry. It was there. I had to use it.
This reminds of something a Buddhist friend told me. In the Tripitika there’s a text (he didn’t give me the reference, and I haven’t found it, so it may be non-canonical or apocryphal) where Sariputra is instructing novice monks on the monastic rules. On celibacy: no sex with women or men; er, no, not with monkeys; er, no, not with those trumpet-shaped flowers either.
