Forget banning nipples, one of Instagram's raciest accounts features photos and videos of a woman lasciviously sticking her fingers in juicy pieces of fruit.

Stephanie Sarley, an artist from Oakland, California, has earned more than 77,000 Instagram followers thanks to her sexually charged videos, which see her rubbing and placing her fingers in everything from halved blood oranges to limes she filled with milk.

'I didn’t invent fingering fruit. It’s a natural thing to finger things, to play with your food,' she told the Daily Dot. 'But, what I invented was a compelling video that meant something to people, about menstruation and virginity and sex and love.'

Social media star: Stephanie Sarley, an artist from Oakland, California, has earned more than 77,000 Instagram followers thanks to her surprisingly sexually charged videos of fingers being stuck in various fruits

Added suprise: Stephanie said her favorite video so far features a Meyer lemon that unexpectedly squirt juice at the camera when it was poked

Stephanie, who considers the footage a part of her art, has had her Instagram account disabled three times—but not always for the reasons people would think.

The California native explained that the first time her account was deleted, it was randomly after she posted a picture of a banana with pins in it, However, it was put back a week later after she contested it.

When Stephanie's video of her fingers dipping into a blood orange went viral, her account was shut down again, which she said was due to the fact that she 'started reporting on copyright infringement' as more and more people were stealing her work to make memes.

'They probably have a dart board with my picture right in the middle,' she said of Instagram's headquarters. 'Because I send them more copyright infringement reports than anybody.'

Stephanie admitted that she gets messages from people who are furious that she has reported on the infringement of her art, and one brazen 'memer' told her she should have put a watermark on it if she didn't want it be used without her credit.

Thieves: Stephanie's account has been deleted three times, although she said one of the instances stemmed from her sending in multiple reports of copy infringement violations after people started stealing her clips

Tough crowd: The account is oddly controversial as Stephanie said people criticise her for everything from wasting food to 'raping' fruit

'I was like, “Do you get that you’re literally stealing my art?"' she said. 'A lot of these people do understand that, but they just don’t care. It’s just part of the culture, the meme culture.'

Stephanie said the whole concept for her videos started after her boyfriend gave her an orange and she started playing with it.

She went on to note that she wasn't initially aware of the associations regarding penetration and blood when the ongoing project was in its infancy.

Although a clip of Stephanie pressing her fingers into a juicy blood orange is what first took the internet by storm, she said her 'absolute favorite' clip is of a Meyer lemon that lets out a squirt of juice when it is poked.

'It was unexpected when the juice hit the camera,' she admitted.

Stephanie started with oranges, but she quickly moved to papayas, kiwis, strawberries, and mangoes.

They may seem like innocent videos at first, but they tend to incite visceral reactions from many viewers, who undoubtedly see the fruit in question being synonymous to the female anatomy.

Stephanie even started filling some of the halved fruits with milks to add to the visual elements, however, her experimentation doesn't always work out as planned.

'I didn’t know this, but adding lime juice to milk makes cheese. So it got all crumbly and weird,' she said of one of her clips featuring a milk-filled lime.

Thousands of people view Stephanie's videos and tag their friends comments section, which keeps her fan base continuously growing.

Rookie mistake: During one of her videos, Stephanie learned the hard way that lime juice curdles milk

Arty meal: 'I do eat the fruit,' Stephanie said. 'Sometimes I'll cut it up and put it in a salad'

However, her account is oddly controversial as people criticize her for everything from wasting food to 'raping' fruit.

Stephanie explained that someone dubbed her the 'Perverted Fruit Rapist' on Twitter, which is something she said she actually gets a lot.

'A lot of people, especially vegans, get very offended and say, "Was that consensual? I don’t think the fruit would want that. You’re violating the fruit!"' she said. 'The vegans were really disappointed by my videos with milk, but otherwise I also get a lot of comments like, "Vegan porn!"'

And as for the accusations that she needless throwing out food, Stephanie said she thinks it is 'just an outlet for people to complain'.

'But I do eat the fruit,' she said. 'Sometimes I'll cut it up and put it in a salad.'
