On March 6, we welcome a special guest to the STEAM podcast: Frank Bouman van Veen. As a historian and expert in the history of science, he joins us to explore the hidden stories behind our s*xuality. The way we view s*x, kink and intimacy today is far more deeply rooted in the past than we often realize. Frank Bouman van Veen has a unique talent for building a bridge between distant history and our modern day challenges. Together, we look at the origins of the rules, taboos

Photograpy by: Eros Heathen On March 6, we dive deep into the world of conscious intimacy during the STEAM podcast. Together with Wilrieke Sophia (Exploring Deeper) , we explore the boundaries of conscious kink, inclusivity, and what happens when we reclaim ownership of our own pleasure. In a world often dominated by rigid ideas about s*x and relationships, Wilrieke Sophia offers a refreshing and much needed countervoice. As founder of Exploring Deeper and an expert in trauma

There is a persistent myth: that "real" sexual desire should just strike you out of the blue like a bolt of lightning. Dr. Juicy helps dispel this myth with a healthy dose of neuroscience. Forget the idea that your libido is a simple on-off switch. Neurologically speaking, our sexual desire works via the  Dual Control Model  (Dr. Emily Nagoski). Your brain has two systems that are constantly in conversation: The SES (Sexual Excitation System):  The "accelerator." This system

What a start! The first two recordings of STEAM were incredibly exciting. Although this isn't my first podcasting experience, it was the first time I truly held all the reins myself. Honestly, I was amazed by everything involved in organizing a podcast, videocast, and talkshow all in one: from editorial work and sound engineering to directing the floor manager and the final editing. Meanwhile, more than four people are already actively involved, which takes some getting used

There is an interview on the schedule that I am incredibly looking forward to. On February 6, an icon from the Dutch house scene will join me in the studio for the second episode of STEAM: none other than DJ Jean. Our roots on the dance floor Our shared history takes us back to the early 90s, to the steamy nights in the legendary club iT. While Jean brought the room to ecstasy as a DJ, I stood on a block as a dancer. Together, we experienced the rise of an era where everythin

I can finally announce it: the first guest in my brand new podcast/videocast STEAM is none other than writer Henk Bakboord! With STEAM, I'm exploring a new perspective on s*xuality and int!macy in the broadest sense. My goal? To motivate and inspire you to a unique and rich love life. And who better to invite than a man who masters the power of words like no other? What can you expect from this first episode? Henk takes us into the world of erot!c writing . What are the abs

A dream come true: my own podcast is a reality! After my time as co-host of LUST and guest appearances on de Poppencast , De 100 vrouwen van Marcel , and my own little project, Zweefteven , the time has finally come. I'm launching a podcast that explores s*x in the broadest sense of the word: STEAM . Watching and listening The best part is: you can't just listen to it, you can watch it too! STEAM will be a videocast. You can find it on my YouTube channel and, of course,

Some people wonder why I work with psilocybine, when my offerings often revolve around sensuality, touch, and connection. For me, the two are deeply intertwined. Psilocybin can help you connect with yourself. It invites you to honestly look at who you truly are, beyond learned roles, expectations, and protective layers. When you're more in touch with your own truth, space arises for gentleness, clarity, and self-love. And that's precisely where a fulfilling love life begins.

In my work, I use the chili system. Not to label how "h0rny" something is, but to indicate the potential intensity for your nervous system. S*xuality and tantra touch our deepest layers. This means we work trauma-informed . We recognize that everyone carries a burden and that a practice can open unexpected doors. But trauma-informed for me also means radical responsibility . I offer the foundation, the safe container, but you are the captain of your ship. I expect my guest

THE MORE PEOPLE, THE MERRIER Do you get excited about making the next event possible? It’s fun to get a behind-the-scenes look and to be connected with the event and the people. If you feel the spark… let me know! With love, Christina Oud
