Calle & Jennie Rehbinder has a long story of media appearances, and it started long before they even began presenting their workshops. They have appeared many, many times in all kinds of Scandinavian media - newspapers, magazines, TV and radio. First most of all because of their artistic work, but from 2004 most of all because of their workshops.
On this page you can see some of the best examples of the media coverage Calle & Jennie have recieved during the years.

Selected media appearances:
|
November 2011 - Kanal 5
For many years, in Swedish television, there is one very popular show about sex and relationships – "Fråga Olle-dokumentären". One of the shows was about tantra workshops and sex education, and of course we hade a large portion of that program!

November 2011 - Philofix, SvT

More body painting!
This was really a short film for a children's program on national TV, but it serves our vision perfectly.
I think that this kind of playful sensualism, painting on each other's bodies, is a perfect introduction for kids to learn that their bodies are a lot of fun, something wonderful to enjoy, rather than something scary to be ashamed of.

October 2011 - Radio P4
For about 15 minutes, Calle was interviewed in a popular radio show about our theory "The 9 Languages of Love", something that obviously has aroused some curiosity here and there.
|
Radio talks... A friend of Calle's, Camilla Lindberg, who also happens to be an ex-member of the Swedish Parliament, was invited to the very popular radio show host Robert Aschberg, to talk about a very strange prostitution law we have in Sweden, wherein it is allowed to sell sex, but not to buy.
|
|
|
|
The radio producer tried in vain to find anyone to defend the law, but couldn't get anyone to volounteer – so Camilla was told she could bring anyone with her to the studio. So she called Calle – and they had quite a lot of fun for two hours on the air, bashing stupid sex laws. The funniest thing is that almost all callers agreed totally with Calle and Camilla...

August 2008 - Book release
|
My own short stories in a book Š another.
That was quite fantastic, and among other things it also led to us being able to have a few workshops in Norway.
|
|
|
As if it wasn't enough with the huge article in the biggest Swedish newspaper, we were also featured in an 8 page article in the Norwegian magazine Cupido, all about us and our workshop for couples. A jornalist from Cupido attended one of our workshops, and wrote a very detailed article about their experience.
That was quite fantastic, and among other things it also led to us being able to have a few workshops in Norway.
|
|
|
In the middle of the summer 2008 we got a grand slam for our workshops, being featured in the centerfold, on the front page and on the headline placards, by the biggest newspaper in the country - all about our beginner's tantric love workshop for lovers, which of course was both lovely and a bit mindblowing...
Being pictured on headline placards all over Sweden was quite surreal, and a step up from the media coverage we had gotten so far, even though we have gotten quite a lot of it through the years.
|
|
|
When there is a need for sex and nudity in the media, Calle can be trusted to deliver. So when Expressen wanted a picture of a couple making love in the nature, for a summer article about sex, who did they call? Calle, of course.
|
|
|
The Norwegian erotic magazine Cupido, in May 2008 bought and published 7 pictures by me, which of course feels very good. Especially since Cupido was my major source of inspiration when it came to writing erotic short stories, in the beginning of the 1990's.
The pictures that were published in CUPIDO this time comes from two different collections, that are also available to see at my image site Cirkus Eros Image Gallery, and you can see them here: Nature Lovers och Sweet Lovers.

Because of a campaign around women's right to be bare-breasted in communal baths, Calle was invited to a TV debate along with 3 politicians from different parties. Mostly because Calle had written a blog post around the subject. It was a short but intense debate.
