Do you know the difference between a vulva and a vagina? And how much do you know about the human reproductive system? Sexologist Marieke Dewitte discusses everything related to our sexual anatomy and its relationship to sexual pleasure.

We all know what our own genitals look like, and maybe some of us have seen those belonging to others as well. But despite sex education being part of most high school curricula, general knowledge about our reproductive organs is often lacking. We confuse facts with myths, we only know the bare minimum about sexual intercourse, and the anatomy of these organs is a mystery to many of us.

It is high time to change this, so take the opportunity to join this crash course in human anatomy, specifically about the genitals and the diversity of the human body. In the midst of it all, you will also learn more about sexuality, getting aroused and enjoying yourself during sex. 

Dr. Marieke Dewitte is a clinical psychologist and sexologist. She is an assistant professor at the Department of Clinical Psychology at Maastricht University, where she has established a unique sex lab to study sexual interactions between couples. Her research focuses on the basic mechanisms of sexual functioning, interactions between partners during sexual arousal, and attachment in relation to sexual responses.
