A sexual orientation centered around the seductiveness of nature is going viral on social media—with people claiming they’ve fallen in love with trees. The term “ecosexual” is the state of finding nature sexually appealing, whether that means feeling at one with nature’s energy or physically caressing nature. A sexual health coach on TikTok described ecosexuality as an umbrella term for people who “treat nature as a sensual partner.”
Recently a Toronto woman embarked on an erotic relationship with an oak tree in a clip on the British TV show Naked Attraction. The ecosexuality tag on TikTok has been viewed more than 470,000 times, with videos showing people taking freezing-cold plunges in creeks, caressing lemons, and rubbing themselves against trees. One ecosexual person described the erotic nature of the beach: “When I go, my whole body blisses out the first moment my feet touch the hot sand. Feeling the sun on my skin, the smell of salt or coconut oil, and the feeling of tiny waves nipping at my ankles—this is a kind of Eco-Sex.”
