And that’s why you’re here: to build happier relationships —
from the boardroom to the bedroom.
If you want better communication, deeper intimacy & connection, intense passion and hotter sex — all in the context of a busy lifestyle — get started with our FREE podcasts, articles, Q&As & in-depth video courses.
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.
Mismatched desire & how to start the conversation about frequency.
🎥Throwback: random acts of kindness can reduce social anxiety. Random* not required.
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.

The emotional-erotic connection can outweigh and enhance the physical. And when we start with feelings, it can reduce pressure and self-consciousness when discussing more intense and taboo topics. ✨ This is a throwback clip from 2021 with the sparkly @thetracymoore. And Brandon & I delve deeper into this theory & its application on the podcast. 🎤 Link in bio!
Feeling turned on is usually preceded by feeling something else (e.g. safe, desired, confident, playful, relaxed). This is your Core Erotic Feeling and it provides the foundation for the possibility of desire, arousal and pleasure. And of course you can have more than one. Want to learn more? Watch this full @cityline throwback clip or listen to the full-length podcast. Links are in bio. More on elevated erotic feelings coming tomorrow (or the next-next day depending on my mood).
