About the Show
34o – The Intimacy Podcast is an English-language podcast exploring love, desire, intimacy and the many ways human beings try to find and meet each other.
The podcast began by creating space for women's lived experiences of relationships, sexuality, desire, shame, healing and awakening, with a simple invitation for men to truly listen. That foundation remains part of its DNA. Over time, the conversation has grown into something broader: an exploration of human connection itself, and the different maps we carry into love, sex and relationships.
At its heart, 34o is about curiosity. About slowing down long enough to hear another person's experience without immediately trying to fix it, defend against it or make it fit our own. The tone is honest, intimate and reflective, inviting listeners into conversations that are deeply personal while touching something universal.
Episodes bring together lived experience with perspectives from therapists, sexologists, authors, researchers, coaches and other voices exploring human connection. Conversations move across sexuality and desire, attachment and nervous systems, masculinity and femininity, monogamy and non-monogamy, grief and healing, independence and belonging, passion and safety.
Rather than offering a blueprint for how relationships should look, 34o explores why two people can experience the same relationship so differently. We all arrive carrying our own histories, fears, desires, protective patterns and ways of making sense of the world. Learning to recognise those different maps can change how we listen, how we repair and how we love.
Whether you are single, in a relationship or simply curious about what it means to connect more deeply, 34o offers a space to explore rather than prescribe. Not another ideology about love. Not quick fixes or perfect formulas. A conversation about becoming more capable of meeting ourselves and each other with honesty, curiosity and presence.
Now reaching listeners in close to 100 countries, 34o continues to bring together different voices, relationships and ways of living around one shared human question:
How do we become people who can create love?
Stay curious. Stay honest. Stay present. Stay human.
About Henrik
About Henrik
Henrik Davidsson is a Swedish author, podcast creator and business leader with more than 20 years of international experience in technology and cybersecurity. Alongside his executive career, he writes and creates around something seemingly very different, yet deeply connected: how human beings understand, meet and relate to each other.
He is the creator and host of 34o – The Intimacy Podcast, where personal stories and conversations explore love, desire, sexuality, vulnerability and human connection. What began as a space centred around women's lived experiences has evolved into a broader exploration of the different maps we carry into relationships, and what happens when those maps meet.
Henrik is the author of The Fenix Year: Love, Loss & Finding Home, a deeply personal story about loss, transformation and finding home again, as well as the Hacker's Pursuit cyberthriller series. His upcoming book 34o – Kärlek, sex & att mötas på riktigt (Love, Sex & the Art of Truly Meeting) continues the exploration that began with the podcast, bringing together stories, reflection and questions about how we love, desire and connect.
Across writing, podcasting and his professional life, Henrik is drawn to the space where different worlds meet: technology and humanity, strength and vulnerability, independence and belonging, desire and safety.
At the heart of his work is a simple curiosity: how can we understand ourselves well enough to truly meet another human being?

34o – The Intimacy Podcast is a new show (in English) that explores intimacy, presence, and relationships from women's perspectives, with men truly listening. The podcast was launched on 7 August 2025 and has already reached listeners in over 60 countries.
Our goal is to create a safe and inspiring platform where women can share their unique stories and insights about desire, connection, and love. Each episode blends a lived experience with thoughtful reflection and practical takeaways, opening up conversations that are honest, calm, and curious.
By centering women's voices, 34o also invites a broader dialogue about masculinity and vulnerability. What does it mean for men to listen without judgment, to show presence without control, and to love with courage? We believe these conversations are vital for building more authentic, compassionate, and fulfilling relationships.
