from the boardroom to the bedroom.

Because happier relationships & lasting love don’t happen by accident. You make them happen. And it's never too late.
I’m Jess O’Reilly and I’m a sexologist. Born in Canada, I’m Chinese-Jamaican on my mom’s side and Irish on my dad’s. I have a PhD in human sexuality with a focus on teacher training in sexual health & relationship education. School-based education is my passion, so if you’re a teacher, parent or student in a public school, reach out, as I’d love to come volunteer in your classroom!
These days, I travel around the world — from Switzerland and India to London and LA to work with couples who want to invest in their relationships just as they invest in every other area of their lives — from health to wealth. And my workshops don’t just focus on sex, but intersect with all things related to communication, commitment, pleasure, joy, love and fulfilment.
At Happier Couples, we want to change the world — one relationship at a time — so we also write books, contribute to articles and share insights on TV with the goal of providing an evidence-based, practical and fun approach to sex and relationships.
This isn’t just about seduction. It’s your ultimate guide to erotic theory & sexual communication.
Packed with practical exercises, techniques, and creative ideas, this inclusive guide is a surefire way for folks of all genders to master the art of pleasure.
Quick lesson from Valencia with Desire Cruises: Notice what’s working in your relationships. One happy couple explained, “we track our wins — not just our supposed losses. Every argument that ends in reconciliation and every tough conversation that leads to deeper understanding is worth noticing. It’s not toxic positivity. It’s our way of ensuring we don’t fall into the negativity loops that others struggle with. And we’re doing something right after 27 years!”

Their approach made me think of the “broaden and build” theory suggesting that
positive emotions expand our capacity and help us build deeper connections, resilience, and intimacy over time. In relationships, this means celebrating the good pays off not only in the moment, but over the long term.

CEF: emotions required to (possibly) get in the mood. EEF: emotions that intensify excitement & pleasure. Oftentimes CEFs are rooted in safety & validation while EEFs are tied to risk & subversion (especially related to identity-based norms). We expand on this short CityLine segment in the podcast.
