This episode is part of a 3-episode special, dedicated to a sex education topic that has been and remains a taboo or even unknown amongst many people: the topic of vaginismus. In this short series of three episodes, you will learn about this psychological condition which contracts pelvic floor muscles in the vagina so that absolutely nothing can enter the vagina - or it can in a very painful way. You will learn what the impact of it is, and most importantly this series will give you hope on how you can overcome it.
This first episode of the special is a conversation with Hans van Dijk, one of my uni Associate Professors who I always knew had totally different subject matters, mostly on dynamics and diversity in organisations. I found out he did a longitudinal study amongst Christian students about their sexuality. This intrigued me to find out more about sex education in religious communities and what possible relationship there is with vaginismus.
