Make Love
the authentic and individual realities of different couples between the ages of 20 and 100 alongside sexologist, couple therapist and best selling author Ann-Marlene Henning. Her expertise, tact and exhilarant naturalness allow Ann-Marlene Henning to help the couples (and us) break the silence.
Synopsis
If IT does not work – finding words for the most natural thing on earth.
All of us can learn about it or have questions.
A few generations after the musings of Beate Uhse and Oswalt Kolle, one would think that Germans were sexually educated. Especially now that satisfaction seems only one mouse click away. The Internet evokes an image of an open minded society, but are people truly happy with themselves, their relationships, their sexuality? Have they managed to find a way to communicate about it?
Not really, says Ann-Marlene Henning, couple therapist, sexologist and author of the novel MAKE LOVE, published in May 2012. Her research revealed how astonishingly little men and women know about their own sexuality, not to mention that of their partners. Lack of communication, especially about sex, is a very common reason to end a relationship.
Since its publication, MAKE LOVE has remained on the Amazon bestsellers list and even been translated into 20 languages. There is a large desire to talk AND learn more about sexuality, love and relationships. In current times, when one out of five German lives alone, when children watch porn, when humans live to be older and more active, dialogue about sexuality and relationships is achieving a new found importance.
Together with host and sex and relationship expert Ann-Marlene Henning we create a classy, spirited and natural TV-format. It works trimedially and is augmented by internet and radio material. Finding a language for the most natural thing on earth is our central goal. MAKE LOVE creates a unique, exciting and emotional experience which is relevant and which many people can relate to. High-quality, visually aesthetic, documentary, poetic, entertaining and close to people’s realities.
Central idea of the format: You can learn how to make love.
Of course this includes all forms of sexuality, different kinds of relationships as well as all age groups in an equal manner.
