Ecosexuality

Ecosexuality is a term used to indicate the ecological entanglements of human sexuality. It is the topic of Stefanie Iris Weiss’ Eco-Sex: Go Green Between the Sheets and Make Your Love Life Sustainable (2010), and has been widely circulated in the work of artists Elizabeth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle. Broadly speaking, ecosexuality describes a growing movement of art, activism, theory, and social practice exploring the intersections of sexuality and ecological relations in a number of different forms and contexts. The concept of ecosexuality indicates the ways in which sexuality is already ecological, and the ways that recognizing and appreciating ecological entanglements can affect understandings of sexuality. For some, ecosexuality indicates a sexual orientation or sexual identity.
