Aside from being an author, podcaster and journalist, you are also a systemic sexual counsellor. What does that mean exactly?
What do you particularly like about your job?
What hurdles or difficulties do you face?
Now and then, you specialise in couples therapy. What are the most common issues or relationship problems your clients bring up during sessions?
The most common issue has to be that one or neither partner is in the mood for sex any longer. They get lost in everyday life, they have other roles to fulfil besides simply being lovers, and there is no room for sex any more.
What approach do you use during therapy sessions with couples?
What is your favourite tip to help our readers work on their relationship without having to go to therapy?
What questions do your clients most often have about sex?
As we know, a fulfilling sex life also includes a (more or less) stable mental state. What is the connection between the psyche and sex?
The experience of pleasure requires a clear head. It comes much more easily when we feel comfortable with ourselves and our surroundings. The WHO’s 2002 definition of sexual health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
The WHO further states that “[s]exual health, when viewed affirmatively, requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. If sexual health is to be achieved and maintained, the sexual rights of all people must be recognised, protected and respected.” (Wikipedia, WHO)
It is all interconnected.

Just scroll through CHEEX and see what appeals to you!
Would you recommend erotic audio or meditation to your clients as a method?
Depending on the client’s problem – why not?
CHEEX now has a diverse selection of erotic audios, wellness audios and soundscapes. How did you come to CHEEX and what does your collaboration look like?
You wrote the Lovebooster series. How exactly did you go about writing? And what concept did you follow?
The contents of the episodes are based on classic theoretical foundations of systemic sex therapy. In its implementation, it was particularly important for me to think about as many sexual orientations, gender identities and forms of relationships as possible.
One last question: Why do you like CHEEX?
CHEEX is a safe space to explore your sexuality—that’s awesome!
