Overview
- The NDR Talk Show recorded in Hamburg on Friday featured hosts Barbara Schöneberger and Bettina Tietjen with sexual adviser Jill Tammling and guests Ilka Bessin and Dirk Steffens.
- Tammling told the audience she is often asked “How can I actually have an orgasm?” and said sexual ability can be learned in relationships or casual encounters if people want to work on it.
- Schöneberger asked whether good sex is a skill or an innate talent, prompting the show to frame sexual difficulty as something addressable rather than shameful.
- Steffens added a scientific, humorous aside about animal anatomy including unusually long duck genitalia, an exchange that led to comic reactions from Bessin and the studio audience.
- National outlets reported the frank segment in a light tone and the episode is available for replay on the ARD Mediathek, reflecting wider normalization of sexual-health conversations on German mainstream TV.
