Sex in Berlin (EN)

What is it like to explore sensuality with lots of naked people in an oil pool? How can BDSM be a way of coping with trauma? Do we all actually need sexual empowerment? And is there a power of sex?

Host Nike Wessel wants to explore these questions in “Sex in Berlin”, the sex-positive podcast from Studio36, which aims to inspire through personal stories and contributions from experts in the field of intimacy. While the first (German) season focused on Berlin, we want to explore other places in the second season. The English episodes are now available on this podcast channel.

Feminist, authentic and humorous, we tackle topics that can contribute to any kind of empowerment. We believe that empowerment can happen in many different ways. Whether through sex work, nude parties, porn, tantra or self-reflection on retreats. The paths are as different as the people who take them.

You can find the German and previous English episodes on the podcast channel “Sex in Berlin (DE)”.
