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.
600+ happy couples aboard this Desire Cruise make for a powerful hive mind when it comes to relationship insights. Here are a few from day 1:
1. Ask “what do you need right now?” We used to think love meant knowing. Turns out, it means asking.
.
2. Say sorry first. And mean it (more on the importance of *repair* coming up next!). Some of our friends wait to see who will apologize first snd they’re still waiting. We’re far from perfect, so we’re okay saying sorry.
.
3. Don’t forget where you came from. Literally. Go back to where you met and remember why you fell in love. We do it every year.
I’m out here learning from my clients. This one is from a couple who shared their safe word privately after the group workshop.
.
“We learned about safe words in a kink workshop, but now we use them in our relationship. It gives us permission to pause without guilt and come back calmer.”
.
Pick a simple word (e.g. turtle or peaches) to use when tensions are high. When someone says it:
1. Stop the conversation
2. Don’t try to fix or debate.
3. Take a short break.
.
It’s a reset button for stress and allows you to pause, protect and return when heads are clearer and calmer.
.
Delhi, you’re up next. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got for me. ✈️
