There are many aspect to these bizarre phenomena. First of all, if someone has a bizarre fetish like copulating with trees or whatnot, why publicize it? It looks one one hand like zealous affirmation of their love for trees: I love trees so much that I do sexual things with them. Paraphilia is not a new phenomenon, but today it's as if people are so unoriginal and their lives so devoid of meaning that the only thing they can identify with is their disorder instead of either keeping it for themselves of try to deal with it.
Another aspect that could be related in a more remote way perhaps is the confusion in the categories of "love". It looks as if there is a increasing proclivity to associate any kind of "love" to sexuality, or so it seems to me. The way you love your mother, your father, your siblings, your friends, people in general, trees, the idea of a tree, etc. is different from the way you love the woman or man you share your life with and with whom you have an intimate relationship.
For instance, many people do love the aesthetics of trees and the way the emerging complexity displays an interplay between order and disorder. That's one aspect among many others. However, it is as far from sexual attraction as it can be. Maybe what we are witnessing is a collapse of the capacity to experience emotions on a wide spectrum of variety into a narrow oversimplification that sublimates the neurological pathways of sexual self-gratification.
