Sex & Relationships Things are going fast for the young Flo Windey (24). The Brussels girl has just graduated and look, her curriculum vitae is writing itself. After ‘Flowjob’, a YouTube series for Studio Brussel in which she talked to young guests about her and their sexual experiences without embarrassment, she can now also call herself a television producer. This fall we see them every Thursday evening on VTM 2 in ‘Club Flo’, a program that aims to make sex, drugs, gender and more of that beauty a topic of discussion. “Sex is like the elephant in the room we don’t want to see. But it’s a bright pink, f * cking big elephant. ”

Flo is on a roll, as we say. And no taboo in Flanders is safe. First she opens her ‘Club Flo Doc’ on VTM 2, in which she shows international documentaries about sex and discusses it with famous and unknown guests. In the first episode she talks about orgasms with Eline Van Hooydonck, a ‘vibrator influencer’ and ‘sex positive feminist’ on Instagram. Also on the schedule: sex toys and porn, among others. Then, starting in November, she tackles other sensitive topics such as drugs, alcohol, gender and mental well-being in ‘Club Flo’. It is left to our imagination how she approaches this in practice. “But everything you want to see, you will probably get to see.”

It all started with a phone call from a certain Eric Goens, she says. You know from ‘The House’ on One. “But when I got on the phone, I thought: who the fuck is Eric Goens. (laughs) Fortunately, the bells started to ring quickly. We talked for a long time about how ‘Club Flo’ could be a ‘safe space’, in which no subject is taboo. ”

No one smells like petals during sex and we all sweat like hell

Eikes, sex

If you ask her, Flanders is still too evasive about sex. “It’s the elephant in the room that we all don’t want to look at. But it’s af * cking big, bright pink elephant! At my school we were taught in biology class how to make a baby or where the clitoris is and that is where it ended. In the meantime, the schools are doing slightly better. I know that sexting was already discussed in my brother Max (15) ‘s class. But they still don’t teach young people what to do if they want to have sex with a girl, for example, or if they feel non-binary. ”

The thought Flo wants to get rid of the most? That sex is a dirty thing. And that that should not be. “But no one smells like petals during sex and we all sweat. Hello, you are making an effort! People are still too ashamed during sex and for all the ‘dirty’ things that come with it. ”

Drugs is another topic she wants to crack open in “Club Flo.” “Young people experience a lot of peer pressure to take drugs. But all they will be told is: don’t do it! While it is much more important that we give them all the relevant information, so that they can take care of themselves. ”

Sexologists are important, but I benefit just as much from an ordinary person who says to me, ‘I feel that way’

Striking by the way: in the first episode of ‘Club Flo Doc’ Flo has no sexologist as a guest. An ordinary young woman who sometimes talks about vibrators and sex on Instagram. A conscious choice and typical Flo: in ‘Flowjob’ she also mainly talked to her friends – often influencers as well. “I believe in the strength of a personal experience. Sexologists are also very important and can provide insane insights. But often I benefit just as much from an ordinary person who says to me: “I experience it that way.” And then I think: hey, me too. Or: wow, not me, interesting. Such an open conversation instantly makes the subject lighter and puts it into perspective. “

“Expand your experience”

Flo has been working on a taboo-less Flanders for a while now and sees things going in the right direction. “I have the feeling that we are all getting more information. We listen and we try to be more inclusive. I receive a lot of emails or messages from young people who watched ‘Flowjob’ in class and talked about it together. I hope this program can do the same. That the conversation can burst open even more. ”

The most important lesson she has learned in the meantime? “That everyone experiences sexuality differently. Your personal experience is never someone else’s. But by learning about other people’s experiences, you can broaden your own. I want to achieve that above all: that we talk more to each other. ”
