Abstract

Zheng Bo is an artist based on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. His ongoing film project Pteridophilia portrays sexual relationships between men and ferns in Taiwan. Some great sex educators are also teaching ecosexual practices, such as our beloved friend and confidant, sexologist Joseph Kramer. He approaches it as a visionary sex educator. Some people use ecosexual as a personal identity, meaning they simply find the natural world pleasurable, sensual and or erotic. Joseph Kramer would say that people's work is much more erotic than ours. As a practice, it accomplishes something having to do with arousal that our work doesn’t. What’s nice is that all these approaches complement each other, like an ecosystem. A spore enters into soil and grows into a gametophyte. The gametophyte produces both eggs and sperms. A flagellate sperm fertilizes an egg, which then grows into a diploid sporophyte.
