Lately, I've been thinking about how, when you reject the patriarchal gaze, you find there are a myriad ways to gaze and enjoy being gazed at erotically and respectfully regardless of gender and sexual orientation ❤️

"Beauty is almost always a form of communication" -The light eaters

When I read this line and a description of orchids and wasps flirting with each other, it kind of all made sense to me that there is a more-than-human gaze, an interspecies gaze, perhaps related to #ecosexuality?

Just finished Sex Health & Consciousness by Liz Goldwyn and among several other things thx Liz for turning me on to #ecosexuality as a more sophisticated term for—and a better way of understanding—what I've been calling "Nature Boner" 😅🙏🍆
