Speaking, Media & Conversations
Challenging conventional thinking about sex, love and relationships
What if many of our sexual difficulties aren't caused by something wrong with us, but by the way we've been taught to think about sex?
Jacqueline Hellyer is a Relational Sexologist, author and creator of Relational Sexology, bringing more than 25 years of clinical experience and a lifelong fascination with human potential to conversations about sexuality, intimacy and relationships.
Combining science, psychology, philosophy and a healthy willingness to question conventional wisdom, Jacqueline offers fresh perspectives on what it means to relate, love and live well.
She's an experienced speaker and media commentator who brings depth, humour and candour to subjects that can be challenging, confronting and wonderfully fascinating.
Ideas Worth Talking About
What If We're Doing Sex All Wrong?
What if the problem isn't sexual dysfunction, but our conventional model of sex? Exploring how moving beyond performance, expectations and prescribed sexual scripts can open up entirely new possibilities for pleasure, intimacy and connection.
Sexual Freedom Needs Relational Maturity
Sexual liberation has given us extraordinary freedoms, but has it also created new challenges? Exploring the difference between sexual freedom and entitlement, and why genuine liberation requires curiosity, responsibility and respect for others.
Beyond the Orgasm
There's so much more to erotic experience than the pursuit of a climax. Exploring the extraordinary landscape of human pleasure, expanded orgasmic possibilities and the cultivation of erotic capacity.
Keeping Love and Desire Alive
Long-term relationships don't have to become sexually stale. Exploring the art of maintaining connection, cultivating everyday eroticism and allowing love and desire to evolve over time.
Sex Should Age Like a Fine Wine
Who says our best sex is behind us? Challenging the cultural narrative of sexual decline and exploring how maturity, experience, self-awareness and changing bodies can open up new dimensions of erotic pleasure.
Sex, Science & Soul
What happens when we bring science, psychology, consciousness and spirituality into the same conversation? Exploring sexuality as a doorway into embodiment, connection, human potential and the deeper mysteries of being alive.
