A self-described ‘ecosexual’ living in Vancouver Island has opened up about her relationship with an oak tree.
Sonja Semyonova, a 45-year-old nature lover and self-intimacy coach, says she discovered her infatuation with nature after confronting what she was missing from human relationships.
She was doing some soul-searching during COVID walks during the lockdown, when she realized that she had been going about finding intimacy all wrong.
One realization was that she “had been craving that rush of erotic energy that comes when you meet a new partner (which) is not sustainable.”
The daily walks passed through a marsh swamp near her house, which led to a grove of trees where Semyonova’s soon-to-be companion stood.
“One particular tree in that grove called to me, so I began to stop daily at this particular grove tree,” Semyonova explained in a social media video shared in the Daily Mail.
She would take the walk five days a week in the winter of 2020 and began having erotic moments with the tree in the summer of 2021.
“I began to lean against it, to hold it and feel held by it,” she said, adding, “I noticed that I was experiencing erotic attraction.”
She explained the connection she felt “was an eroticism with something so big and so old holding my back.”
Semyonova said she also enjoys the “feeling of being tiny and supported by something so solid” and “of not being able to fall.”
She clarifies that the relationship isn’t physical, although she derives erotic gratification distinct from human sexuality.
“This is what the oak tree has taught me. It has taught me how to decouple erotic energy from the act of physical sex,” she said. “One is constant and steady and the other is fleeting.”
“A big misconception is that ecosexuality means sex between people and nature, it’s a different way to explore the erotic,” she explained.
Others may also have erotic experiences with nature without realizing, Semyonova said.
“To watch the changing of the seasons is to me an erotic act. You go from death in winter and then everything comes alive in spring and mates,” she added.
“What we fail to notice is that the reason we want this is to tap into the life force that comes from these things, which is the erotic,” Semyonova claims.
Tapping into our erotic connection to nature could help fight environmental crises.
“I believe that we could gain from having a more symbiotic relationship with nature.”
