About this episode
We’re going back to the brothel in today’s episode! This is the second part of a two-part series of interviews I conducted in a sex club in Amsterdam during a recent study abroad course I taught for sex therapists. We invited several folks who work in the sex industry to come speak with us in small groups, and it was absolutely fascinating! In this episode, you’ll be hearing from a Dutch sex educator (Anna Jansen) who teaches teachers how to talk about sex, as well as a social worker (Renée Brouwer) who works with victims of human trafficking in the sex work industry. Some of the topics we’ll explore include: The distinction between sex work and sex trafficking. Why so much sex work in the Netherlands occurs underground outside of the legal system. How sex trafficking can still occur even with a legalized, government-regulated system. Legal changes that could make sex work safer. What sex education looks like in the Netherlands. How to make sex education work for everyone. Why attitudes toward sex in the Netherlands aren’t as liberal people on the outside think.
