Sex, Love, Corona | Podcast
Honest talks with UM sexologist Marieke Dewitte and student guests.
Sex, love, intimacy, being single, relationships, diversity, sexual orientation, masturbation, gender, pornography, sexting, and much more. These are topics that are a part of (most of) our lives, yet we do not talk about them as much as other day-to-day activities. In our podcast Sex, Love, Corona, Marieke Dewitte (sexologist at the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience) takes the time to talk to student guests about their experiences and how the current corona pandemic impacts sexual relationships and sexual development. And all the while, Marieke enriches these stories with the things she has learned as a sex researcher at Maastricht University.

Episode 9 | Sexual Orientation
This week, we take another look at diversity. This time diversity in sexual orientation. LGBTQI+, an acronym that symbolises this diversity, but does it cover it all? Where does this acronym come from? How do people from the LGBTQI+ community identify with these labels? What kind of stereotypes, myths and preconceptions are there still about sexual orientation? Marieke sits down with Kai Jonas (Professor of Applied Psychology) and Kenny d’Abreu de Paulo (student at FHML) to find an answer to these questions.

Episode 8 | Gender Diversity: Beyond Binary
Male and female, these categorisations are considered the norm in our society. In this episode, Marieke, Béla and Mathilde will look closer at gender and try to nuance these conceptions. Cisgender, Transgender, non-binary, queer, these are terms that conjure up a lot of questions. Let’s open our minds and listen to this conversation between Marieke, Mathilde Kennis (our academic expert) and Béla Belissima (podcast host & queer activist).

Episode 7 | Sex & Culture
This week we’re talking about the impact of culture on sexuality. With cultural diversity comes sexual diversity. Marieke sits down with Avery, Rana and Honya to talk about how sexuality is viewed, discussed and treated in their culture. We also look at the prejudices that people have about the attitude of different cultures and religions towards sex.
