Primal Sex: Reinvigorating our Lives and our Planet

In many peoples' lives sex has taken a back seat. Our culture has told us to put it lower and lower on our list of priorities. Even when we do focus on sexuality it is often only through the profit-driven porn industry that we find inspiration. But if we look at nature, sex is everywhere. It is a big part of every animals life. Can an animal have it removed from thier life and still function fully? We feel somewhat sad for all those spayed or neutered pets, why do it to ourselves psychologically? Can a human, with it's complex social and psychological needs thrive in a culture where sexy is simply the trendy pants that you are wearing?

The environmental movement could benefit greatly if we bring healthy sex back into our lives. Environmentalist are no longer typified by khakis and green shirts, they are sexual people living in cities and forests, seeking fuller lives and hoping to give more prowess to thier environmental passion. Getting "raunchy", particularly in the wild, can bring us more energy, renewed zest for life, and ground us in our environment. Embracing our naturalness is key to learning to live more in tune with the earth.

Many environmentalist are already starting to specifically seek out other green singles, calling themselves "ecosexuals". The new sexy is someone who lives more simply, seeks out quality eco-friendly products, and bikes or commutes to work. We have started being more selective about how we wish to operate in the world.

Environmentalist are often also more interested in health and well being and sex also satisfies this. It is a great workout for strenthening every muscle and nerve in the body. One can also explore Tantric and Taoist practices to learn how to stimulate pressure points, open our energy centers, and release tensions from our bodies. The new environmentalist can be a super sexy powerhouse for change.

Our aesthetics can also reflect our new sexy identity. Sex is something everyone is drawn to, an obvious force that has motivated consumers to buy all sorts of stuff. We can take back our sexuality from advertisers, make it healthy, and use it to encourage others into a beautiful ecosensual relationship with nature.

We can give praise to nature through our lovemaking in the wild. Creating sacred acts in nature, enables us to bring her heart and passion home with us, to better listen, understand, and protect her. Learning to be at home in nature lessens our ties to an artificially sweetened existence. Becoming comfortable in it means that our means of living are ours.
