Meet the ‘Ecosexuals’ who think having sex with the earth could actually save it
The ultimate nature lovers have gathered in Sydney to 'roll around in the dirt having an orgasm'
SAVING the earth is something most of us want to do but we draw the line at having sex with it.
Yet a group of people who call themselves “ecosexuals” are doing just that –in the belief that sex with the earth will help it regenerate.
The ultimate nature-lovers have come together this week at an arts festival in Sydney, where they are romping with the elements, and each other, in an interactive installation called the "ecosexual bathhouse," from artists Loren Kronemyer and Ian Sinclair of Pony Express.
Ecosexual expert Amanda Morgan, from the UNLV School of Community Health Sciences, revealed ecosexuality has differing degrees, from people who try to use sustainable sex products and enjoy skinny dipping to those who like to get down and dirty.
She said: “There are people who roll around in the dirt having an orgasm covered in potting soil.
"There are people who f*** trees, or masturbate under a waterfall."
The ecosexual movement is growing and has taken hold in the last two years, according to American sociologist Jennifer Reed and Google search data shows a dramatic spike in interest in 2016 and members of the movement estimate that 100,000 people around the world now call themselves ecosexuals
