We’ve heard a lot of talk recently about people who are finding their sexuality. This goes beyond just being male and female, many different designations seem to describe almost anything you can possibly imagine.

Just when you thought you may have heard it all, there is something else that is on the radar, and this one has never been heard of before. A woman by the name of Sonja Semyonova from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, says that she has such a specific designation and as a self-intimacy guide, she should know.

According to the 45-year-old woman, she had feelings of loneliness when she suddenly realized that she had a special connection with an oak tree. This may seem a little unusual, but let’s get started.

It started in the middle of the pandemic, when she would go for walks in 2020. In 2021, however, she started having different feelings for the Oak tree that she had recently visited. Suddenly, the feelings turned to erotic.

She said: “I was walking a path near the tree five days a week for the whole winter. I noticed a connection with the tree.

“I would lie against it. There was an eroticism with something so big and so old holding my back.”

She did admit that she was looking for somebody who made her feel that way but she found the tree instead.

“The feeling of being tiny and supported by something so solid. The feeling of not being able to fall,” she said.

“I had been craving that rush of erotic energy that comes when you meet a new partner and that is not sustainable.”

Despite that energy she had with the tree, she isn’t saying that she has been sexually involved with the tree in some type of romantic relationship. In fact, that is what she says is a large misconception about ecosexuality.

She said that many people feel that you are having sex with nature but in reality, it is a different way to explore the erotic. She then added:

“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.

“There are similarities between sex with people and the eroticism ecosexuals feel with nature, but they’re not the same.”

Some people may be wondering if they are ecosexual and she said that we all are to a certain extent. She says that it goes beyond the erotic energy she may have felt.

She went on to say that it is ‘already present in a lot of people’ exemplified by how many people ‘want to go to picnics in parks and hike in nature’.

“What we fail to notice is that the reason we want this is to tap in to the life force that comes from these things, which is the erotic,” Sonja adds.

“I believe that we could gain from having a more symbiotic relationship with nature, that relationship could definitely be erotic.”

I don’t know where this one is going to go, but it’s always interesting when something like this hits the scene.
