Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D’s Eco-SEXOLOGY

Exploring the Landscape of a New Sexual Movement; Erotic Environmentalists, Green Porn, Nature Fetishes & Fashions

Annie Sprinkle shifts the metaphor from “Earth as Mother” to “Earth as Lover,” for the sheer pleasure of it and in order to help create a more sustainable world. Explore the places where sexology and ecology intersect in our culture. Learn about arboreal frottage, wind play, mysophilia, ecosex tourism, pollen-amory, carbon capture kissing, compostgasms, bondage fairies, and sun worship. By the end of the presentation you will discover that you are an ecosexual too! We also will discuss the upcoming Ecosex Symposium at Vortex and explore who would like to be involved.
