Unraveling s*xual dogmas and historical myths

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 and dogmas that continue to shape our behavior.

Beyond the dogmas

We often believe that in the 21st century we are fully liberated, yet Frank shows that many of our ideas about what is “normal” or “natural” are rooted in historical misconceptions. In his work, he unravels persistent untruths that have seeped into our culture over the centuries. Which myths about the human body and desire do we still unconsciously uphold? And how did institutions of the past decide what was allowed to happen behind the bedroom door?

Inspired by the past

Just as the stories of Henk Bakboord and DJ Jean on the website of Christina Oud show how subcultures and nightlife push boundaries, Frank demonstrates that history itself is one long chain of shifting boundaries. By understanding where our shame and our laws come from, we can truly begin to free ourselves from them.

What to expect on March 6

During the live recording of STEAM at Studio Six Feet Under, we will explore with Frank:

• Historical s*xuality: How did people in the Middle Ages or in Antiquity really view pleasure and intimacy?

• The power of myth: Which historical “facts” about s*x are actually fabrications, and why do we still believe them?

• Breaking dogmas: How can knowledge of history help you look at your own s*xuality with more freedom and less judgment?

• Connection: What can we learn from historical wisdom when shaping our “modern” s*x lives?

Christina Oud believes in the power of knowledge to unlock life force energy. Frank Bouman van Veen brings the intellectual tools needed to dismantle the walls surrounding our s*xuality.
