Work
The interplay between the body, gender, and sexuality has always interested me and that is what inspired me to train as a Somatic Psychotherapist. I am often invited to take part in debates on gender, sexuality, and non-monogamous relationships. Moreover, I have been the sex and relationship advice columnist on Denmark’s largest dating site for swingers, www.swingeren.dk, which has over 13,000 users. Parallel to that, I give talks, teach and hold workshops in non-monogamous dynamics, BDSM, kink and tantra. I also make art and theatre often with a focus on gender and sexual diversity. Currently, I am collaborating on an international podcast series, ”Deeper, Please!”, which will be released in 2020, where we interview people who are doing important shame-busting work in the modern sexpositive revolution.
