Santa Monica College EcoSexuals Marry The Sea
Campus Reform – Earlier this month, a professor at Santa Monica College led students in an ‘EcoSexual Sextravaganza’ in which participants ‘married the ocean.’
Amber Katherine, a philosophy professor who helped organize the event, explained to Campus Reform that the purpose of the “wedding” was to bring about a deeper love for the planet through “ecocentric passion and even lust.”

Hey I’m a pretty progressive guy. Gay people, love em. Trans people, fully support em. Would be kind of snooty of me to draw the line at EcoSexuals right? I mean who am I to deem one type of sexual preference inferior to others? You want to bang women, men, both, the ocean during high tide, it’s all the same to me. Just do whatever makes you happy, that’s how I approach life.
The ceremony began with Bruce Cartier, a former SMC student, proclaiming to those gathered at Santa Monica Beach that “today we stand upon this holy earth and in this sacred space to witness the rite of matrimony between the sea and us all.”
Next, leaders of the event distributed rings to the students, announcing “with this ring, I bestow upon the sea the treasures of my mind heart and hands—as well as my body and soul. With the power vested in us, we now pronounce you ‘married to the sea.’
Some students then made their way down to the water, where they were urged by event organizers to “consummate” the marriage and “make love with the water.”
“Stick your toes in the water … or any part of your body that you want.”
Listen I love the environment. I think the environment is great. Going outside on a nice sunny day and enjoying the breeze in my face, having the sun gently tan my skin as I take a dunk in the ocean, it’s all fantastic. Do I want to fuck the ocean? Do I wear a condom when I go boogie boarding? No I don’t, but I also don’t judge anyone who does, that’s a promise.
I don’t even judge Serenity over here, who some people may say is clinically insane, but not me.
One attendee of the event—who identified herself only as “Serenity”—spoke about the importance of gaining consent from the earth before proceeding with a physical relationship.
“Back when I would hug trees in Santa Cruz, I would sort of ask the tree if it was okay if I hugged it and I would feel their spirit or energy or something give a response back, and then proceed accordingly,” she told The Corsair. “Consent is definitely important. Do you think the Earth would consent to fracking and pollution? Probably not”.
Not only do I not judge her, I admire her. You college kids could learn something from Serenity. No means no.
