Podcast Description
What is it like to explore sensuality with lots of naked people in an oil pool? How can BDSM be a way of coping with trauma? Do we all actually need sexual empowerment? And is there a power of sex?
Host Nike Wessel wants to explore these questions in “Sex in Berlin”, the sex-positive podcast from Studio36, which aims to inspire through personal stories and contributions from experts in the field of intimacy. While the first (German) season focused on Berlin, we want to explore other places in the second season. The English episodes are now available on this podcast channel.
Feminist, authentic and humorous, we tackle topics that can contribute to any kind of empowerment. We believe that empowerment can happen in many different ways. Whether through sex work, nude parties, porn, tantra or self-reflection on retreats. The paths are as different as the people who take them.
You can find the German and previous English episodes on the podcast channel “Sex in Berlin (DE)”.

How did Berlin become a symbol of sexual freedom? In this episode of Sex in Berlin, host Nike dives into the city’s revolutionary past with a look at the early 20th century sexual liberation movement and the pioneering work of Magnus Hirschfeld and his Institute for Sexual Science.
Together with our guest Jeff Mannes, we trace how Hirschfeld’s groundbreaking vision was destroyed by the Nazis, yet how Berlin’s queer and sexual culture reemerged from the ashes, transforming through decades of activism, art, and nightlife. From the cabarets of the 1920s to today’s club culture, this episode uncovers how history still shapes the city’s spirit of freedom and desire.
Jeff Mannes also shares insights into his walking tours through Berlin, offering a unique way to experience the stories of queer resistance, sexuality, and identity that continue to define the city today.
