An ecosexual same-sex couple have discussed “grassilingus” and taking the Earth as their lover as part of their surprisingly wholesome “new movement”.

Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle, a married couple in the US, appeared on Friday’s (21 January) episode of This Morning.

Speaking to hosts Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond, Stephens explained: “The simplest way to define it is that an ecosexual is someone who loves the Earth.”

Sprinkle added: “We imagine that the Earth is our lover and we enjoy all the sensual pleasures that the Earth has to offer.”

The couple run a non-profit called E.A.R.T.H. Lab, which “questions and expands prevailing notions of environmental art, challenges the mainstream’s binary concepts of gender, sexuality and race, incorporates inclusive, diverse and imaginative possibilities for sustainable living, and supports the adoption of public policies based on scientifically informed environmental practices”.

Stevens described the ecosexual community as a “new movement”, and explained: “It’s a term that people use to identify their preferences.

“So you can be ecosexual and also be heterosexual or homosexual, or even asexual, you don’t have to give up any of your identities.

“It just means you enjoy taking pleasure with the Earth and giving the Earth pleasure as well.”
