Episode 9: Season Finale – WHAT COMES BEFORE CONSENT Welcome back to My Mum's a Sex Therapist! It’s our season finale, and we’re diving deep into a topic that lays the groundwork for healthier, more fulfilling relationships: what comes before consent. This week, we unpack the flaws in the traditional consent model. Does the “yes or no” approach to sex leave room for pleasure, equity, or true connection? Spoiler: it doesn’t. Instead, we explore how this binary mindset can lead to power imbalances, misunderstood boundaries, and even the illusion of consent in relationships. Whether you’re single, coupled up, or a relationship veteran, this episode has something for you. Jacqueline breaks it down, introducing the two essential steps that must come before consent: self-awareness and communication. Together, we discuss how to develop an embodied sense of self—a kind of internal GPS—that allows you to co-create deeply authentic, pleasurable experiences with your partner. Drawing on scientific research and over a decade of clinical experience, Jacqueline also reveals a surprising truth: most couples don’t even know why they’re having sex. And yes, language plays a HUGE role in libido. We guide you through the process of cultivating self-awareness, tuning into your desires, and learning to understand your partner’s needs—skills that are game-changing for relationships. In this episode’s Erotic Moments segment, Jacqueline reflects on her deep affection for Sydney, especially the joy of returning home after travels. Meanwhile, Claude opens up about their hectic lifestyle, sparking a discussion about how many of us have become desensitized to stress—and how that impacts intimacy. At its core, this episode is about learning how to share yourself in ways that feel safe, authentic, and undeniably pleasurable. Oh, and don’t miss our answers to your burning listener questions! - I don’t know how to say no to my partner, how do I stop that? Practice safe, authentic connection this holiday season—and don’t forget that our 2025 retreats make the ultimate Christmas gift (on sale Boxing Day!). Tune in, and let’s create a world where connection starts way before consent.

Episode 8: Lovers - HOW TO CREATE LONG LASTING LOVE Welcome back to My Mum's a Sex Therapist! This week, we’re addressing an essential topic: how to see your partner as a lover, make long-term relationships last, and cultivate desire. Whether you're single, newly coupled, or have been together for years, this episode is for you. Drawing on her 10,000+ hours of therapy experience, Jacqueline discusses common issues couples face and stresses the importance of cultivating desire and growing together. Through client case studies, she illustrates how couples can grow apart if they aren’t conscious of the brain’s tendency to become accustomed to—or complacent with—the people around them. The hosts explore the necessity of attention and intention, developing self-awareness and awareness of each other, and creating time and space to fill your days with intentional moments that enhance love and connection, whatever that looks like for you. In our *Erotic Moments* segment, Jacqueline shares a profound energetic experience from her Bali Couples retreat, while Claude recounts an unexpected moment of connection with strangers while traveling with their partner. This episode focuses on cultivating long-lasting love and provides listeners with practical tools to explore their truths. Plus, we’re answering your burning questions: With the non-linear approach, how do you know when to stop? My husband has a hairy back and I’ve asked him to wax it, but he says I should love him as he is. Please help. I know we need sex therapy, but my partner thinks we should be able to fix it ourselves. How can I convince him? Tune in and let’s get loved up! P.S. All 2025 retreats would make a fantastic Christmas present!

Episode 6: The Truth - MALE BODIES Welcome back to My Mum's a Sex Therapist! This week, we're diving headfirst into a topic often left unspoken: male bodies. Whether you've got one, love one, or are just curious about WTF is going on down there, this episode is for you. Drawing on her 10,000+ hours of therapy experience, Jacqueline unpacks the truth about men—beyond the stereotypes. Far from being sex-crazed maniacs, men are often less sexual than women and just as emotionally complex. We explore the crushing societal and relational pressures placed on men, the historical timeline of male liberation versus female, and why this generation holds the keys to unraveling centuries of repression. We're tackling everything from the limits of male self-expression to the unspoken burdens men carry—and yes, we're going there on penis myths, "the small men's revenge," and why size really doesn't matter when it comes to intimacy. In our Erotic Moments segment, Jacqueline shares an unforgettable "Spanky Wanky" moment from her latest online course shoot, as well as a deeply impactful personal experience. Meanwhile, Claude opens up about the complexities of non-monogamy, shedding light on how jealousy can be a tool for growth and connection when handled with care. This episode is all about breaking free from shame, busting myths, and giving men (and everyone who loves them) the tools to explore their truth. Plus, we're answering your burning questions: What do men actually find attractive? How can you navigate premature or delayed ejaculation? And don't miss the exclusive pod discount on our new men's course—it's your chance to level up your love life, no matter what's in your pants.

Episode 4: The History of Sex - WHY OUR SOCIETY IS SO SEXUALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL Welcome back to My Mum's a Sex Therapist! In this episode, we're digging into the fascinating history of sex and how our society ended up so tangled in sexual dysfunction. Jacqueline takes us on a journey through time, showing how the dawn of agriculture and the rise of war changed everything about our sexual dynamics. Starting at the roots of human history, she explores how our ancient ancestors developed deeply sexual, love centered lifestyles. Early humans thrived in matrilineal societies that worshipped the Earth Mother—but as we moved toward land ownership and patriarchal structures, control over women became a social obsession. Who could prove paternity? And how did that reshape our cultures? Jacqueline's insights reveal how these shifts still impact us today, and why it's up to this generation to unwind centuries of sexual repression. We explore sex as an innate tool for human bonding and how true intimacy can lead us to profound, higher-order experiences. In our weekly segment Erotic Moments, we go deeper into the hosts' lives: Claude shares a personal connection to the ocean, while Jacqueline describes a powerful meditation experience that recharged her creative energies. From prehistory to modern times, this episode is all about giving listeners the freedom to explore themselves without shame. We tackle listener questions on topics like swinging, libido changes in menopause, and tantric approaches to sex. Don't miss out—this episode is packed with historical insight, practical tools, and thought-provoking conversation!

Episode 3: Non-Linear Lovemaking - SEX IS LIKE A PICNIC Welcome back to My Mum's a Sex Therapist! In this episode, we dive into Non-Linear Lovemaking — a fresh concept from Jacqueline Hellyer that challenges the old playbook. Forget the traditional bases and routines; instead, we explore sex as a dynamic, moment-by-moment experience that partners create together. For many of us, growing up meant minimal guidance beyond abstinence talks and porn. Through our weekly segment, Erotic Moments, we peel back the layers on what it means to connect authentically. Claude opens up about a recent injury that led to a surprisingly embodied experience, while Jacqueline shares highlights from her time at a three-day tango festival in Melbourne. From solo exploration to the nuances of partnered intimacy, we break down how to tune into your desires, communicate them openly, and bring a sense of playfulness into the process of discovery. The hosts cover the impact of non-linear approaches, the role of tone, and practical tips for feeling at ease — whether alone or with a partner. We also tackle listener questions on a wide range of topics, including sexual trauma, IVF, and discovering full-body pleasure zones. Don't miss this episode—it's packed with insights, tools, and conversation that make it our most helpful yet!

Episode 2: Pleasure and Connection - HOW TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT Welcome back to My Mum's a Sex Therapist! In this episode, we're diving into a big one: How to Know What You Want! Growing up with little more than abstinence talks and porn portrayals, most of us were left in the dark about navigating our sexuality. Through the weekly segment, Erotic Moments, the hosts peel back the layers of this topic. Claude shares a recent intimate experience with friends, while Jacqueline recounts her unique journey into high-quality erotica production to fulfil a friend's fantasy — an exploration that highlights the focus of the episode, pleasure and connection as well as a how-to guide on checking in with your desires moment by moment. From solo exploration to shared experiences, the hosts unpack how to get in touch with what you enjoy, how to communicate it, and the playful art of discovery with a partner. They discuss the dance of initiation, the influence of tone, and share real steps to feel more at ease in both solo and partnered settings. Finally, they answer some of the most-searched questions on sex, love, and intimacy, grounding the episode in pleasure and connection.
