Watch "Green Porno," Isabella Rossellini's Nod to Insect Sex, Online

Isabella Rossellini knows her bug sex. The Italian model and film star wrote, directed, and starred in "Green Porno," a series of films detailing the sex lives of various bugs, arachnids, and molluscs. They originally debuted at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year (and showed at the Berlin Film Festival, among others) and are now available, for your viewing pleasure, on Sundance's website.

If you've ever wondered how bees have sex (not as romantic as you might think), or wondered about the sadomasochistic habits of snails, these are for you (though, just as fair warning: the videos make mention of the organs and acts required to accomplish reproduction).

They're all pretty fascinating, but the snail and praying mantis might be the best. After the jump: more video screenshots and a look behind the scenes of ::Green Porno.

“I was always fascinated by the infinite, strange and ‘scandalous’ ways that insects copulate.”
-- Isabella Rossellini

As a snail: "I can produce darts to inflict pain on my partner before mating...it turns me on."

Behind the scenes during the praying mantis shoot: "My mate is a cannibal...but that doesn't scare me. My sexual drive is the strongest...nothing stops me!"

As a male bee: "I would have many brothers, and we would do nothing, just waiting to have sex...A female! Ready to mate! I would fly after her, and mate her in flight!"

As a fly: "I have sex several times a day: any opportunity, any female."

The videos will also be available for the (really) small screen: iPods, cell phones and other mobile devices. Get all the details and watch all the videos at ::Green Porno, and, while you're at it, learn How to Green Your Sex Life, too.

It's revolting and obscene and yet I can't stop watching it. Just like regular porno.

Thank you for posting this! I love Isabella Rossellini. One of the great Italian actresses of our time educating us about in-sex! That seriously made my day. A 5 out of 5!
