Welcome to my favorite place on earth. Here I’ve met unforgettable people and spent some of my best moments in solitude—sipping raspberry tea, watching the mountains fade into darkness as the sun sank behind them. Here I’ve had near-death experiences and the most beautiful hikes. Here I’ve found places of spiritual depth and tasted the …
On the south-eastern shores of Britain is a town of rescuers, tooth-white cliffs hanging over the sea and an unscalable fortress. This is Dover, a town I tried to visit twice and did not succeed. The first time I was on a budget, the second time I did not have enough time. This time it …
I am a big enthusiast of escaping reality and my thoughts through music, movies, and books. But the rare places where I can fully be in the moment are the mountains. No matter what anxious pits my mind might wander into at home, here, on a dirt path rising high, then switching to stones and …
First Steps and Dead Neighbors This was years ago, during my first-ever mountain hike — and my first time staying in Zakopane. My hostel was right next to a cemetery, but that wasn’t noticeable: the dead weren’t walking, the crows weren’t flying, and no funeral bells were ringing (that was in Hungary). Another thing nearby …
Gender Roles in the Bedroom, the Therapy Room, and the Mind Let’s talk about the ancient, dusty script we’re all handed at birth — the one that insists girls should be sweet, compliant, and quiet, while boys must chase, conquer, and never, ever show feelings. These roles are so old, they often feel like the …
As a part of my graduate project in sexology, I asked viewers on my YouTube channel for any ideas.

This post is based on my personal experience and reflections. It is shared for educational and awareness purposes — to shed light on how harassment, power dynamics, and boundary violations can unfold in everyday situations. I have taken care not to name individuals or businesses, and I am not making legal claims. Instead, I’m offering my …
Sex comes with a lot of free advice — most of it terrible. We’ve all heard the classics: men are always in the mood, erections are nature’s green light, penetration should last forever, and sex ed is only for active members. Oh, and apparently asking for consent isn’t sexy. These ideas sound familiar — and …
When you hear the word “sexology,” what comes to mind? What images take shape? What associations begin to blossom? And, most importantly, how does the word make you feel?In my experience, sexology often feels like a shadowy, enigmatic subject, shrouded in taboos, misconceptions, and myths. Even my autocorrect seems unsure—it didn’t even catch a typo …
Today I want to write about abuse, not the one that comes with fists and screams, but the sneaky, subtle kind. You know, the kind that doesn’t leave bruises — just years of therapy. It’s the kind that makes you wonder why you feel like crap even when nothing obvious happened. Or why your innocent …
