Ecosexuality in the Bedroom: Sacred Toys and Wild Desires
June 18, 2025 | Miriam Slozberg
Ecosexuality in the bedroom is blooming as a subversive response to a world culture removed from the Earth’s cycles. It begins with sensual and spiritual means of reconnecting with nature, starting from the bedroom, the most intimate space.
The very term ecosexuality evokes images of grassy make-out sessions or sweet-talking trees. However, it’s more profound than a romanticized vision. It’s a conscious lifestyle and erotic politics that mixes environmentalism and sexual expression. And yes, it can be kinky, wild, and deeply healing.
Let’s explore how ecosexuality is coming into the bedroom with sacred toys, primal play, and a wave of sensual sustainability.

What is Ecosexuality?
Term and conceptualized by activist artists Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens, ecosexuality shifts the Earth from object to mother figure. It is into an embodied lover to be touched, caressed, and erotically revered, even worshipped. The ecosexual taboo dissects the cultural dualism of the human body and nature. It affirms our relationship with the wild within and outside of us.
Ecosexuality is both a political action and a sensual practice. It deconstructs the boundaries between erotic freedom and environmentalism. “Make love to the Earth” isn’t a metaphor for most ecosexuals. It’s an invitation to become flesh, to become incarnate desire as a force of healing, ecological awareness, and radical intimacy.
Rewilding the Erotic Body
Modern sexuality is most frequently encountered in sterilized, fabricated settings. Examples are fluorescent-light-made porn, plastic-toy-littered bedrooms with artificial lubricant, and being disconnected from the elements. Ecosexuality encourages us to reclaim the erotic body for nature. It might look like:
Having intercourse outdoors, either day or night.
Embracing the natural world, like mud, water, leaves, and flowers, for erotic exploration.
Aromatics of pine or jasmine as an introduction.
Grounding one’s feet on the earth during passionate love-making.
This rewilding is not only visually appealing but also deeply redemptive. When we re-tune our bodies to nature’s touch, timing, and process, we remember our embodiment. Touch is erotic but also sacred.
Sacred Sex Toys: Nature-Friendly and Spiritually Conscious
Not everything needs to be plastic, battery-operated, and manufactured. The ecosexual revolution is sparking imagination in holy, sustainable toys that are kind to the planet and to the body. Some of them include:

Crystal Dildos – These toys are made from rose quartz, obsidian, jade, and amethyst, infused with spiritual energy. Users experience a more intense and energetic connection. That is especially when they use them in ritual or intention-setting practices.
Wood-Carved Wands – Yes, wood is sensual and safe, provided it is sealed with body-safe oils. Hand-sanded wooden toys, topped with organic sealants, are a grounding, tree-hugging, sensual experience. It roots you in trees, in the woods’ breath, and the density of earth energy.
Vegan and Sustainable Lubricants – Most traditional lubricants contain parabens, glycerin, and other toxic chemicals that harm the body and pollute waterways. Ecosexuals use aloe vera, coconut oil (used cautiously with latex), and plant-based, water-based vegan lubricants free of toxic additives.
Homemade Toys From Nature – Where safety is always the highest priority, most ecosexuals adore playing with sensual feelings using objects from nature. Those include leaves, smooth stones, fruit skins, petals, and warm feathers. These are not always intended for penetration, but rather to create texture, temperature, and ritual.
It’s less about what you use than how you use it. That is with awareness, respect, and sensitivity to the object’s energy and the Earth from which it came.
The Bedroom as a Sacred, Natural Temple
Turning your bedroom into a temple of ecosexual practice doesn’t mean a forest sanctuary. It can start with tiny, sensory-based changes:
Bring in natural textures like linen sheets, wool throws, bamboo floors, and silk scarves.
Diffuse essential oils such as sandalwood, vetiver, ylang-ylang, and patchouli for grounding and arousal.
Substitute natural light or candlelight for blue-hued bulbs.
Gather materials to construct an altar using stones, feathers, soil, and symbols of your sensual relationship with the Earth.
Sanctifying the surroundings consecrates sexuality as not just physical, but as sacred and ecological. You’re tending your desires now as a natural part of nature, not something to be ashamed of, but something divine.
Ecosexuality celebrates wildness, not chaos. Instead, it is about listening deeply to your body, your lover, and the Earth. Wild desires are accepted with consent, awareness, and respect.
Some practices ecosexuals utilize to experience wild play are:

Mud rituals – Putting mud or clay all over the body, letting the Earth touch you back. Sensual, messy, primal.
Rain showers and outdoor sex – Being with the elements, such as rain, sun, and wind, as a part of the sexual experience.
Earth-honoring kink – Rope play with hemp or jute; ritual dominance/submission to natural powers (sun worship, tree worship, ocean surrender).
Such encounters awaken primal longings, deconstruct social conditioning, and foster wholeness within oneself, others, and the world.
Beyond the Bedroom: Ecosexuality as a Way of Life
While much of the emphasis is placed on the erotic, ecosexuality is ultimately an integrated lifestyle. It permeates how we shop, consume, create relationships, and engage in activism.
An ecosexual might:
Choose green menstrual and body products.
Be a proponent of Earth-positive adult businesses.
Use intimacy and ritual as a means of healing the Earth. It can offer orgasmic energy as a benediction to dry land or toxified oceans.
Celebrate sabbats, lunar cycles, and earthy celebrations as times of erotic awakening and intention.
Sexual pleasure is therefore not just individual, but cosmic. It is a prayer.
The Ecosexual Cure
For many, especially those overcoming shame-based conditioning or religious trauma, ecosexuality is an empowering path. When you view the body as part of nature and desire as a force, we deconstruct years of sexual repression.
Pleasure is medicine; touch is a ceremony; and sex is a natural worship. In a culture that has too often separated spirituality and sensuality, ecosexuality reunites them.
Key Takeaway
In the end, ecosexuality is not about a label, but an experience. It is a richer journey into the self, the body, the Earth, and others.
Rather than simply advocating for physical pleasure, it challenges us to make love with life itself. Desires are no longer profane; they become sacred, ritualistic acts. This perspective transforms the bedroom into more than just a space for release, it becomes a ritual.
So light a candle. Place your bare feet on the earth. Share your wildest dreams with the wind. And remember: the Earth is not just beneath you. She’s inside you, waiting to be stroked, loved, and honored.
Ultimately, ecosexuality in the bedroom invites us to reclaim the sacred in the sensual. Let’s listen to her call: the one holy toy, one crazy wish, one respectful breath at a time.
