Integrating sex- and sensuality within the world of design

The world of design has a difficult relationship to sexuality. Stigmas and taboos prevent in most cases an in-depth approach and outcome. Massagers are known by everybody but it is more than sexuality. It is about communication, fantasy, vulnerability and trust and this is where the chances and opportunities are for designers. The No Sex Shop wants to play a major role in connecting institutions, producers and designers. She does this by giving advice, organize exhibitions, develop educational programs and design. Sanne believes in the potention of new, constructive and pluralistic view on sexuality and sensibility where the key is in designers’ hands.
