#PASSION: HOW TO HAVE BETTER SEX – IN CONVERSATION WITH SEXOLOGIST CHANTELLE OTTEN
According to a survey by dating platform Parship in 2023, only every second person is satisfied with their love life. The results of a study conducted by the Bumble dating app in the same year are even more dramatic: Only 14 percent of Germans are satisfied with their sex life. That means 86 percent – more than eight out of ten people – are not. The reality: Almost no one is satisfied with what’s going on in their beds. Have we forgotten how to have good sex? And what makes the supposedly good an actual good? In conversation with sexologist Chantelle Otten, we learn about her role as a sexologist, the most prevalent issues in bed, and five tips on a more fulfilling and passionate sex life.

#PASSION: BETWEEN PASSION AND APATHY
According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, in 2020, only 21% of Americans trust the government to do what is right most of the time. That’s a pretty damning statistic. In light of that, for most people, there is a choice – to engage or dissociate entirely. Of course, there’s always fulfillment in the world of work. Gallup research showed that employees who are passionate about their work are a whopping 2.5 times more likely to be engaged. It’s times like this that we all remember the classic high-school yearbook prompt: most likely to be economically engaged.
