Ecosexuality

Ecosexuality is an ecological and erotic practice which appeared in the early 2000s, as a critique of anthropocentrism (the philosophy that places humans at the centre of the world). Born from the encounter between various movements such as ecofeminism and the Radical Faeries, it became theorised in 2008 by the artists Annie Sprinkles and Beth Stephens in their Ecosex Manifesto. Ecosexuality questions anthropocentrism through a deconstruction of the norms of gender, sex, sexuality and nature using the pleasure principle, humour and joy as tools. The Earth is seen more as a lover than a mother, given that the expression “Mother Earth” derives from a patriarchal system. This practice aims at a breaking-up of relationships of domination, with an awareness that gender minorities and women are the first victims of climate change.
