An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but what if your dominant makes you only eat apples for a week?
In the second instalment of our introduction to BDSM, Roan shares with us the points of attraction for kinksters. What are the emotional and psychological motives for someone to be submissive or dominant? Do kinky people look a certain way and can you tell what their roles are by their day-to-day personalities?
Are dominants aggressive and submissives obedient followers? What is the relevance of childhood trauma in kinky inclinations? Can BDSM have a healing aspect to it? Is there a kinky scene in Groningen?
Have a listen to our new episode and find out for yourself!

We start off 2024 kinky! In this episode, Mikaella has a chat with her dear kinky friend Roan! Roan walks us through the basics for BDSM. Besides the whips and latex, what kind of practices does BDSM include? Is it exclusively sexual? Do you know what to expect and how do you negotiate what happens in a BDSM scene? Roan takes us through useful terminology for beginners such as Total Power Exchange and role archetypes.
Stay tuned for part 2 where we talk about why people are into kinks!
About the hostess: Mikaella (she/her) comes from Cyprus. She is studying Psychology with a clinical direction as a Major and has Minor courses in English Language and Culture at the University of Groningen. She has been the Activity Coordinator of Let’s Talk About Sex Groningen (LTAS) since 2021.
Her passion for sex education stems from the realization of how little proper [sex] education is provided by our physical environments and how much shame is ingrained into us for our sexuality and sexual expression. With this podcast, she aims to give voices to local students and experts to fight this reality and start meaningful conversations!

In the second instalment of the fourth episode, Mikaella and Momo delve into kinky and cultural territories. Momo talks about her approach to finding BDSM partners and how and if skin colour affects the vetting process and playtime. What happens when kink and race are mixed together? What is the connection between financial reparations for descendants of enslaved people and Black dominatrices? How are you expected to behave towards your partner as a Nigerian woman? What are the dynamics of Nigerian couples? What are some characteristics of Nigerian polygamy practices? Tune in for the answer to all of these questions and more!

In the fourth episode of The Local Sex Shop Podcast we tackle a complex topic: Racial fetishization and dating. The dating landscape in The Netherlands is quite ethnically diverse. However, that doesn’t stop racial biases from sipping into our consciousness. Today’s guest, Momo, speaks on her experiences as a black non-binary woman from the UK. What are some stereotypes she has come across in everyday life and dating? Where do they come from and how are they maintained? What are the unbelievable messages she has received on dating apps?
This episode is the first installment of a two-part episode. Next installment will focus on Momo’s experiences on the intersection of race and kink/BDSM!

De herfst is in volle gang, de temperatuur daalt langzaam en dus zijn de schaatsers alweer fanatiek hun wedstrijden aan het rijden. Zo ook Daan en Evi Gelling.
Broer en zus Gelling zijn beiden actief in de Topdivisie van het marathonschaatsen en studeren daarnaast aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. Daan studeert Spatial Planning and Design, Evi Life Science and Technology.
In deze aflevering van de Topsportcast vertellen Daan en Evi hoe zij hun sport combineren met studeren aan de RUG en gaat het natuurlijk ook over hun sportieve prestaties op het ijs.

Voor shorttracker Teun Boer, student Commerciële Economie op de Johan Cruyff Academy van de Hanzehogeschool, begon het schaatsseizoen mooi met twee Nederlandse titels die hij behaalde in Leeuwarden.
In deze topsportcast kijkt Teun terug op het NK en vertelt hij hoe hij zijn studie combineert met een druk leven als topsporter. 
Daarnaast komen ook RUG-topsportstudenten Niels Kingma en Daan Kos aan het woord. Niels en Daan kwamen net als Teun in actie op het Nederlands kampioenschap shorttrack en werden onlangs gehuldigd op het Sportcentrum van de Zernike Campus voor het winnen van een bronzen medaille tijdens de World University Games Winter, begin dit jaar in het Amerikaanse Lake Placid.
Ook dit studiejaar verschijnen er weer Topsportcasts waarin topsportstudenten van de RUG en de Hanze vertellen hoe zij topsport combineren met een studie. Waar ze tegenaan lopen, in hoeverre ze worden geholpen door de onderwijsinstellingen om zo optimaal mogelijk hun sport te kunnen beoefenen en natuurlijk hoe het ze sportief vergaat.
