00:00Okay, now I'm getting those.
00:10En route to the unique retreat are Lauren and Tom from Exeter.
00:15It kind of feels like, you know when you go on a really, really scary roller coaster right before you're about to drop?
00:21Their relationship goes back to when they were teenagers.
00:25We've known each other for 16 years.
00:27Lauren's brother is one of my best mates and now I can't talk about women issues with him.
00:34Just three months ago, Tom's dreams came true when he proposed.
00:39Look at that rock on your finger.
00:41She just makes me basically. She keeps me on my feet, definitely.
00:45The couple's passion for one another extends to their sex lives.
00:50I'm a huge adrenaline junkie and when it comes to sex life, the same.
00:55Tom fully understands what I'm like and to be honest, joins me.
01:00Yeah, if I could, I'd have sex all the time. I love it.
01:04The frisky couple have already attempted to open up their relationship, but with disastrous consequences.
01:11I really, really wanted to be able to explore whether that's a couple swap or just get a woman.
01:17We kind of explored it a little bit, but Tom really struggled.
01:22Yeah.
01:24I feel like I'm chomping at the bit to be open because I don't want to be with just the one person for the rest of my life.
01:31Here they go.
01:41With its non-monogamy coach and experienced residents, Lauren and Tom are hoping the retreat is the answer to their problems.
01:49How you guys doing, alright?
01:51Hey.
01:52They're a good looking couple.
01:53Yeah.
01:54You look lovely.
01:55Very lovely.
01:56Hi, guys.
01:57You alright?
01:58Hey.
01:59Come on, lock your shirt.
02:00We're almost matching.
02:02Yeah, these guys look fit.
02:05One girl, a bit of you.
02:08I'm excited but nervous.
02:14Oh, I'm nervous now, yeah.
02:15Yeah.
02:16Definitely nervous now.
02:17I'm so excited to be here.
02:19I really am.
02:20I am like, come on.
02:22Yes, it's throwing Tom in at the deep end, but sometimes I think that's what people need.
02:26It's just a real big push.
02:29Guiding couples on their journey.
02:32Hello, come in.
02:33Is the retreat's non-monogamy coach, Effie Blue.
02:37Take a seat.
02:39I would love to know what brings you to this retreat.
02:42So, me and Tom had been together for about a year.
02:45I was terrified but brought up the conversation with him about going open.
02:49Mm-hmm.
02:50I've tried in my life to be with a woman, to be with a man, and always felt if I was with one or the other that I wasn't complete.
02:56We have tried opening up the relationship and had issues, which is obviously why we're here today.
03:06Do you want to tell me a little bit about that?
03:09I panic when it comes to actual performing.
03:12Mm-hmm.
03:13I've basically got hard midway having sex and then it has just gone soft.
03:19When your penis doesn't work, it doesn't work.
03:24If it's with another female, like, she thinks she's done something wrong and it's not that, it's not that at all.
03:32And then that's, for me, game over.
03:34I'm stuck in a rut on the fact that I can't, I can't get him up.
03:39I can't perform.
03:40And it's like, shit, again, I'm feeling a bit, I'm feeling like crap.
03:45I'm curious, does this impact sex with Lauren?
03:50There's been a couple of times, there's been in the past even with Lauren herself, but not multiple times.
03:56I'm more relaxed, I'm more chilled and I can perform.
03:59Party.
04:00When you've attempted to open up with other women, what is the story in your head?
04:04I can't take the top off.
04:07I absolutely hate looking, looking at myself.
04:09Mm-hmm.
04:10I think what's really bad is I don't love myself.
04:14When I first met Tom, he was a really cheeky chappy.
04:18Then Tom got his heart diagnosis and, yeah, it had a huge impact, mainly on Tom.
04:24It was terrifying.
04:26The doctors basically told me that I had sudden death syndrome.
04:30So that means I can drop down and die at any point.
04:33It was so, so scary.
04:35He got really down.
04:37He obviously put on a lot of weight because he wasn't allowed to work out.
04:40Because of being such an energetic person, going to the gym all the time, looking after myself
04:45and doing all of that is basically, well, it just went down the drain.
04:52You have a terrible relationship with your body.
04:54Yeah, definitely.
04:55Definitely.
04:56It's like you're not going to get a hard on, because you might be mentally aroused,
05:01but you're not physically aroused.
05:08Hey, you're okay?
05:09Yeah, I'm good.
05:10I wasn't expecting that.
05:15Do you want to tell me what's going through your mind right now?
05:18The fact that I'm just, I've stopped in my path and just let myself go.
05:27So, it feels like there's a lot riding on this, right?
05:31Because I feel like your anxiety is getting in the way of you potentially opening up,
05:37which is kind of what Lauren wants.
05:40And I imagine you feel the pressure of that.
05:45It's what I want as well.
05:48Lauren, what do you want to achieve?
05:50What would be your ideal situation?
05:52I would love to be able to, obviously, couple swap.
05:56And also, I've never had more than two men at once.
05:59And it's always been a fantasy of mine.
06:02And the same for women as well.
06:04But obviously, we need to get to the bottom of whatever this is.
06:09Sure, yeah, no, exactly.
06:10Hopefully, here is the place where we can help you get over those things.
06:14Starting with a good old party.
06:16Tonight is about taking the lead.
06:18Once you kind of let your hair down and relaxed, right?
06:22I would love, Tom, for you to pick some people
06:25and invite them to somewhere cozy for a sensual group experience.
06:31This is about sensuality.
06:33That's about cuddles and touches.
06:37I want you to focus on one person.
06:40And I want you to focus on how the person that you're touching,
06:43how you're giving them pleasure through touch and through caressing.
06:47Because I want you to ease into that sexual space
06:51without it feeling like it's all about your dick getting hard.
06:56And then, be open to things escalating.
07:02That's the part that I get a bit, wow.
07:04When we say escalating, we don't always mean straight sex.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Right.
07:10It sounds really exciting.
07:12Beautiful.
07:13Yeah.
07:17Yeah.
07:18Yeah.
07:19So, the exercise today is to get him into the present,
07:20feeling what pleasure looks like and to be more embodied.
07:21If you could just think about that he doesn't need a hard penis,
07:24it's amazing how quickly one will appear.
07:25Oh, wow.
07:26I do worry for me and Lauren, because if I can't, if I can't do the whole open relationship,
07:31I feel like we go a separate ways.
07:32I'm hoping it won't get to that stage.
07:36I'm hoping it won't get to that stage.
07:37.
07:38Previously on Open House.
07:39Ultimately,
07:40Ultimately,
07:41why we're here is to bring in.
07:42Yeah.
07:43We have a great job.
07:44What's going on?
07:45Yeah.
07:46I'm hoping it won't get to that stage.
07:47Yeah.
07:48Yeah.
07:49Yeah.
07:50Yeah.
07:51Yeah.
07:52Oh, wow.
07:53I do worry for me and Lauren, because if I can't, if I can't do the whole open relationship,
07:54I feel like we go a separate ways.
07:55I'm hoping it won't get to that stage.
08:05Previously on Open House.
08:08Ultimately, why we're here is to bring in another couple,
08:12but I've got to be okay with Alex being with another woman.
08:17I'm so scared.
08:19What's at stake is Alana's, like, feelings and emotions.
08:22I've been cheated on quite a lot.
08:25I've seen women as more of a threat.
08:27So, we kind of want you to face that threat.
08:32Would you be open to finding a woman for a little sexy threesome?
08:36That scenario wasn't in my head.
08:38I don't want to do it like I want to live.
08:42If this is going to work, it has to be the right person.
08:47Who Alex is sitting with now is Georgie.
08:49She's gorgeous.
08:52Would you like to come and spend some time in what's up with us?
08:55Yeah.
08:57If it does go wrong, is it something I'd be able to get over?
09:10I did not think this is where we were going to be on, like, our first night.
09:12I knew you were.
09:13This would have literally been my worst nightmare.
09:15Really?
09:16If someone was like, how would you feel about doing this?
09:18I'd be like, no.
09:19We didn't think that we would be in a hot tub if we were.
09:22Here you are.
09:24How would you feel if I gave Alex a little kiss?
09:27How would you feel?
09:28I'm okay.
09:29Yeah?
09:30I'm okay.
09:31In that moment, watching Alex and Georgie kiss, I thought, oh no.
09:48How did that make you feel?
09:49Like, fine.
09:50I was like, yeah, look.
09:51Almost a bit turned on by it.
09:52I thought, oh no.
09:53How did that make you feel?
09:54Like, fine.
09:55I was like, yeah, look.
09:56Almost a bit turned on by it.
09:58How'd that make you feel?
10:00How'd that make you feel?
10:17Like, fine.
10:18I was like, yeah, look, almost a bit turned on by it.
10:22Can I like, can I like, can I like, can I see you on me?
10:25I can't believe this.
10:26Are you proud of me?
10:27Yeah.
10:29Like, what the hell?
10:31Yay.
10:31Yeah.
10:38I've never seen a line to kiss another woman.
10:42I knew it was part of her life, like, long, long ago,
10:45but to see that, like, reopen that door was such a huge turn on for me to see that.
10:49It was, like, really hot.
10:52Oh, my God.
10:54I'm obsessed.
10:55Stop it.
10:58Can we just take you home with us?
11:01Well, it all flowed very naturally.
11:13Who the fuck would have thought we'd have been here?
11:15I honestly don't know what's happening right now.
11:18I feel like this is normal.
11:22I think, like, things are feeling good.
11:27Mm-hmm.
11:28Do you know when I come back to our room?
11:30I would love that.
11:31Yeah.
11:32Just explore things a little bit more.
11:34Yeah.
11:35Let's take the next step.
11:35We'll do baby steps.
11:36Let's do it.
11:37I didn't think that was going to be a thing at all to bring in, like, a single female.
11:44I thought that would be way too intimidating.
11:47I was really glad I was below water because I was really turned up.
11:50Yeah.
11:50Yeah, like, this has been insane.
11:55Honestly, I can't believe what, like, it's such a change.
11:58And you weren't going to do anything.
11:59And now we're inviting...
12:01We're asked to come back to our room.
12:03That's our room.
12:19Oh my god, they're short, short.
12:20I know, I did say my ass, like, eats them.
12:23New arrivals Lauren and Tom are preparing for a big night.
12:33They'll be attending a sexy barn dance, where they hope to meet residents who could help Tom
12:38overcome his physical stumbling block when it comes to opening up.
12:45Whenever we've dipped our toes into being open, Tom felt he just couldn't perform, felt really
12:52uncomfortable.
12:54They've been tasked with finding residents interested in joining them for a group experience,
13:00where the focus is only on foreplay.
13:03Hey, babe.
13:03What?
13:04I look fucking ridiculous.
13:06With no pressure to perform, the hope is Tom will relax and rise to the occasion.
13:12I do foresee hurdles. The residents are all very beautiful.
13:16The problem with that is obviously Tom being body conscious.
13:22If I went in there on my own, I think I'd probably walk straight back out.
13:33How are you guys feeling?
13:34Haha, yeah, great.
13:37Shit's good.
13:38This is out of my comfort zone. The heart palpitations I've got right now are through the room.
13:58So what we're going to do is we're going to go around and we're going to talk to them.
14:06I feel sick inside. I don't think I can.
14:08Okay, so listen, there's no pressure. That's what we're saying.
14:11Like, let's just give it a really good go. This is what we're here for.
14:14First to meet them are married couple, Jem and Daz.
14:18What are you looking for then?
14:20That's the question. So for me, I need that conversation.
14:24Yeah.
14:25And for you, it's obviously just about feeling body confident around.
14:28Yeah, I'm a bit, yeah.
14:29Just lacking in confidence a little bit. That's understandable.
14:33You know, it's really nerve-wracking.
14:36If there's any environment where personality matters more than looks, it's this environment.
14:41We'd love to chat to them and try and help them with their journey.
14:45Hello, you all right? I'm Tom.
14:46How are you doing me? All right?
14:47How are you doing?
14:47I'm Gaze. This is my wife, Olivia.
14:49What's your dynamic?
14:51So we, when we find it...
14:52That's a big word, that is.
14:53Dynamic.
14:53It's a big word, isn't it?
14:55My favourite word is that, right?
14:55Dynamic.
14:56I love it.
14:57When I say we've babbled in it before.
14:59We're really good at reading people's body language and kind of, like, how they're feeling.
15:03You know when someone's nervous and you know when someone's a little bit scared.
15:07But when you have that, you know, responsibility to kind of give them that first good impression
15:11of the lifestyle, you want to make it the best.
15:14I used to be, like, really, like, outgoing, going gym seven days.
15:17I used to have, like, the abs and I basically comfort eat and drink and, of course, I put on the weight now, so...
15:23You can just, like, kiss and you can, like, you can go down on them and you can touch...
15:28...and you don't necessarily just have the build-up, but I think it is the power mentality.
15:32You think you've got to go through that natural process.
15:35Olivia and Gage, they made me feel so, like, it just felt, it just felt natural just talking to her.
15:41After a confidence boost from Gage, Tom moves on to single resident Aaron, who's no stranger to open conversation.
15:50Do you have an idea of, kind of, what you want from the experience?
15:53Basically, have fun, relax and try and let my hair down.
15:57To a couple that's coming into the retreat that are looking to open up, I think the best thing they can do is talk to, talk to us.
16:06You know, you've come here for the sex, but don't forget that the sex comes from a person.
16:10I'm a single guy. I've literally just come out of a relationship with two women.
16:14Oh, wow. At the same time for two years.
16:17That's crazy.
16:18Split 50-50.
16:19There'll be days and weeks and months where I don't feel like I have the confidence and I'll go and play and I won't even get hard, but that's okay because if you're around people you're comfortable around.
16:30That's what I'm, this is what we're trying to get through to talk.
16:35Speaking to Aaron, he made it easy for me to basically say, I don't need my penis, basically.
16:42I've got my hands and I've got my tongue and I think Lauren really likes him as well.
16:45Aaron has given me fanny flutters.
16:52So I've never had more than two men at once, so my ideal situation would obviously be more men.
17:01Fresh from meeting Aaron, Lauren feels it's time for Tom to start deciding who to invite to their sensual soiree.
17:08Aaron, because he was on the same page as you and even he doesn't get hard.
17:13Yeah.
17:13Because I feel like he would understand you as well.
17:17Yeah.
17:19Aaron made me feel really at ease.
17:20He, yeah, he was absolutely brilliant.
17:25I'm so scared of the rejection, mainly for Tom rather than for me.
17:29Because is he then going to be really nervous going forward?
17:33That little bit inside that if they say no, it'll feel like shit, yeah, but you know, um, you just have to wait and see and see what happens.
17:41We just want to know if you want to come back to him and basically just.
17:45Maybe some games, some teasing, some cuddling. If it escalates, escalates, if it doesn't, it doesn't.
17:51And that doesn't run through.
17:56Okay guys, I'm, I'm not going to say that I'm going to play.
17:59It's, it's for me at the moment, I take a lot more to get to that point.
18:08I was surprised by Aaron because he said he didn't want to play.
18:12Aaron, without being rude, obviously we have to move along with being honest.
18:17Not everyone is everyone's cup of tea, but for me, I don't obviously want to put Tom off even more with this process.
18:23It's like rejection. I'm just, yeah, I'm shocked.
18:34Right, move all the things of the bed, put them all on the, here.
18:39In their bedroom, Alana and Alex are preparing to be joined by resident Georgie.
18:44Are we going to be weird and go, are you okay if we get protection just in case?
18:49We'll just have it on the side.
18:52They're hoping that tonight they can take their first steps towards their ultimate dream of a couple swap,
18:59by having a threesome.
19:01I don't know how this is going to go, seeing Alex being with another woman,
19:07with where we are now, look, I'm definitely open to just seeing hot ghosts.
19:16But as much as this is a really big step for me, it's also a really big step for him,
19:21because he's going to potentially be with another woman.
19:25This is all new and it's starting to feel very real.
19:29So my worries going into this is me being with another woman and how that might make Alana feel.
19:35I hope that it's the most amazing experience that we could have, but equally it could not be.
19:44Hello, come here, come in, you're right?
19:47Oh, it's so nice!
19:49It would be, it would be devastating if anything went wrong here, for sure.
19:57So much better. Okay, cool. This is a bit more chill.
20:00Yeah, don't mind, I'm just going to pick up the momentum.
20:04No, I like that. Let's just pick up when we're left off.
20:10The sexual chemistry was insane.
20:12The fact that I could, like, just let go of everything and just really enjoy it, like...
20:25I never thought that would have happened in this experience.
20:33But as play between Alana and Georgie intensifies,
20:58Lana and Georgie intensifies Alex retreats to the sideline I think like I
21:12was overwhelmed it was like from zero to a hundred and it called me off guard
21:19right well that was like a terrible idea I was I wasn't like I can't quite match
21:43that right now
21:56I've had like the best evening like yeah
22:01I love you so much I loved it I genuinely loved every minute of that there wasn't any part where I
22:24thought I feel uncomfortable or like oh I don't know how I feel about this like I literally loved
22:30every single second of that did you enjoy it I loved seeing you like enjoy yeah I loved it
22:41I might always seem to get the wet patch
22:48maybe I could have done more but I think I was a little bit like overwhelmed by how quickly it all went
23:03at this moment I don't know if I can open up the relationship
23:10it's the morning after Alana and Alex's first threesome with a female resident Georgie
23:32you're so quiet got up this morning feeling really good about what happened but I could feel there was
23:45something a little bit off
23:46what are you thinking about
23:56I'm just thinking process be sure you're okay when we first came in here obviously our aim and our kind
24:14of end goal was to be able to do a full couple swap I knew Alex was in his head a little bit even at
24:25home like he can go a bit quiet sometimes but today I just knew there was something kind of underlying
24:30hello come in take a seat take a seat comfy how was last night like I'm really happy it just it felt
24:46right beautiful breakthrough I think what I liked is it was actually Georgie that said like would you be
24:56okay if I kissed Alex she kind of like led it a little bit which was nice and I actually enjoyed
25:03watching it which I never thought those words were going to come out of my mouth
25:07what are you thinking Alex I don't I don't know I don't want to take away because I loved last night
25:16it was incredible but I was a little bit like overwhelmed by the whole situation yeah tell me
25:24about that I don't know like I don't think I was I wasn't like turned on physically like so that's
25:30what I'm confused at the moment about okay okay okay the couple thing I definitely want to do but
25:37again I don't know if I go all the way so that's where I think that's why I've been quiet this morning
25:42because I wasn't sure for me there's like that like something missing and I don't know what it was
25:45I feel like maybe I'm more of a connection based like when it comes to sex like deep deeper
25:51connections intimacy is that what you're seeking like intimacy to go with your sexual experience
25:58I do find it better if there's a connection and that's where I am right now like I'm trying to
26:05figure that out the thing that I want to understand is how do you feel about that
26:11um I don't feel comfortable with that sure now like I I do see that as threatening like
26:24what if you build like this really great connection with someone else that you then feel is
26:30like that's never ever they're gonna be the thing
26:37okay yeah it's okay
26:44you're really challenging some of the things that you're the most afraid of and stuff is coming up
26:50like that's all about that so that's scary to you right now so let's just look at it in the face
26:56tell me I what does what do you mean by connection let's just I think it's definitely not like
27:01deep connection with what I have with you it's it's a lot less than that it's more
27:07familiarization like you almost want to be friends with that person before it okay I've never been
27:12like a one night guy to be fair like yeah even we didn't sleep together like straight away so I
27:20get that I know that's not necessarily like how you work so what would that look for you in terms of
27:28you guys dating couples like do you want to have like one couple friend that you date and
27:35play with or do you sort of meet a bunch of couples like what does that look like for you
27:41we did say like it would be nice to have like one couple that we're like best friends with and we
27:47get on really well with them and and like play together as well so what I have in mind is I want you to have a taste of the couple experience that that you want
27:57but I feel like the the next challenge for you is to navigate the connection piece for you to actually go there and start making a connection and for you to feel like to figure out what it feels like when it's happening and spend a bit of time connecting with a couple and then once you feel like you have a connection in place then you can escalate things in your own time and take it from there and you see how it goes for you how does that sound
28:21how does that sound no that sounds that sounds good yeah good good I'm fine with that are you definitely fine yeah I feel relaxed okay okay I think that the biggest thing off my chest was what we've spoken about now that was like just something I need to understand
28:36thank you thank you thank you you're welcome you're welcome enjoy
28:40I'm excited to meet um some couples today
28:49but um this moment I I don't know if I can go all the way we'll have to see
28:57we love each other right yeah we do
29:06at the sexy barn dance Lauren and Tom are coming to terms with being rejected by resident Aaron
29:20let your hair down let my hair down I'm gonna make you lie now I'm not that is not happening
29:31oh my god
29:43I used to do quite a lot of dancing with Lauren this is what I used to really enjoy so I feel a lot more comfortable yeah
29:53when I was around Tom we had a little mini dance battle and like the fact that he was just busting out the robot and like just having so much fun with it and I was like let's do this let's do that and he was just like yeah let's do it it's the last
30:11I'm buzzing I'm buzzing I'm literally buzzing from how happy he is
30:19he's so relaxed now
30:25rejection behind them thoughts return to their objective finding residence for a sensual after party
30:35I feel a lot more comfortable yeah so I think it's a lot more easier to invite people and to see if they say yes or no
30:41yes or no
30:43you lead the way
30:53hello
30:55welcome to my friend
30:57hello I'm your shirt for tonight
30:59have you guys been enjoying yourself?
31:01but it was basically we're just wondering if um if you'd like to be
31:05to like come back with us and just basically cuddle, kiss, touch
31:11well I'm ready whenever you guys are I'll be at the bar
31:15I wasn't expecting that
31:17I wasn't expecting the fact that I was actually waiting for a no
31:21as Tom's confidence grows
31:23and I was just wondering if you guys want to come back
31:25yeah
31:27yeah
31:29oh wow
31:31so does the after party
31:33wondering if you want to come

31:39that's so easy thank you
31:41and the guest list swells to five
31:43we were pleasantly surprised
31:45and it actually feels kind of like nice
31:47like feeling I know it sounds weird but wanted
31:51I would say I'm definitely attracted to him for sure
31:53they're a vibe
31:55100%
31:57I'm just really excited just to get to know them a bit more
32:01Lauren and Tom's next challenge will be their biggest yet
32:05as the five residents will be joining them
32:07to attempt to help Tom overcome his performance anxiety
32:11and successfully open up
32:15we're basically
32:17we'll go back to the bedroom and basically see what happens
32:21not promising anything
32:23I've still got them hurdles
32:25I've still got them body confidence and all that
32:27the worst thing that can happen
32:29is going into shock and walking out
32:31having been in two minds as to whether he's ready to open up
32:45Alex has agreed to try to make connections with couples
32:49oh this looks so cute
32:55we're just looking for like
32:57good vibes obviously
32:59going into the couple scenario
33:01is slightly different because it's
33:03both of us have got to have an attraction to
33:05two different people then
33:07we'll see
33:09you know if it's the right people
33:11it'll be there
33:17Hello
33:18I'm Joe
33:19Joe love to meet you
33:20How are you doing?
33:21How's it going?
33:22Literally on the walk
33:23Both Alex and Alana
33:25really want to get to know them don't we?
33:27Yeah they're definitely good looking
33:29They're super hot
33:30Who's the one who instigated sort of coming here and stuff then?
33:33I think coming here might have been more me
33:35Did you guys come in initially looking to bring in a single lady?
33:41What were you initially looking for?
33:43Connections with couples
33:44Yeah
33:45Is where we were looking at
33:46The hardest part was obviously for me to kind of
33:48get over like insecurities with having another female
33:52like being physical and like smash that on the first note
33:56So we're like yay!
34:00One thing I'd say is
34:02I'll do three things as easiest
34:03You guys have actually done probably one of the harder things
34:05like foursomes are sort of easier
34:07because everyone's got something to do
34:11Hi I'm Alana
34:12Hi Alana
34:13Lovely to meet you
34:17So tonight?
34:18Today? Tonight? You're looking for a couple swap?
34:20Yeah
34:21Just trying to like find our way into it though
34:23It's definitely been a space
34:24It's just finding our like place
34:26Big thing letting someone else into your relationship
34:29But it's nice because like you say
34:32everyone's like scenarios are different
34:34Well it's about you guys that's the thing
34:36It's like you're not here to please someone else
34:38Yeah
34:39It's what's best for you
34:40I didn't know how I was going to feel about it
34:43Yeah
34:44But actually like I've shocked everyone
34:47Ended up being absolutely fine with it
34:49Alex and Alana were quite attractive actually
34:53There was definitely a vibe there
34:55I think we'd definitely be into them
34:58if they wanted to kind of spend a bit more time with us
35:04Can I go for a chat?
35:06Yes
35:12Tea
35:13Ooh, thank you
35:14How have you found it?
35:19Um
35:20Like it's been nice to speak to couples today
35:24Like obviously that was what we wanted to do
35:28For me I feel like Jem and Daz
35:31I feel like they would be like a really great couple to get to know
35:34I feel like they've got a similar vibe to us
35:37How are you feeling?
35:40Is there anyone that you felt like
35:42might have had a connection with?
35:48I've like um
35:50Honestly at the moment
35:52I just don't know right now
35:55if I can
35:57go any further
36:00Okay
36:05Okay
36:06How do you
36:08How are you feeling about that?
36:09Um
36:10Yeah
36:11Like I'm a little bit
36:13Surprised
36:14Um
36:15What is it that's making you feel that way?
36:19Is it that you don't feel like
36:21You want to go
36:22Any further at all?
36:24Or do you feel like it's just maybe been a little bit
36:26Too much too soon?
36:28Like it's just got a bit overwhelming
36:30Mate
36:34Mate
36:35I don't know like
36:36It's more of a me thing this now
36:39Like for now
36:43That's as far as I can go
36:46You've hit like a bit of a wall with it
36:48Yeah
36:49Okay
36:50I do want to redo this
36:54Okay
36:55Okay
36:56That makes me happy
36:59With Alex unable to continue
37:12The couple stay at the retreat
37:14Has come to an end
37:16Going forwards
37:21I do think
37:22Open up a relationship
37:23Is for me and Alana
37:25But
37:26It's going to take time
37:27It will take more time for me
37:29Um
37:30I don't know I feel like emotional now
37:44What just happened then?
37:45I don't know
37:46I don't know I feel like emotional now
37:49What just happened then?
37:50I don't know
37:51I don't know
37:52It's just the whole thing's like just very overwhelming isn't it?
37:53Like
37:54I don't know
37:55What just happened then?
37:56I don't know
37:57I don't know
37:58I don't
37:59It's just the whole thing's like just very overwhelming isn't it?
38:03Like
38:04What's that?
38:05I don't know
38:07Because I don't
38:08I don't know what to say
38:09It's just like a very emotional few days isn't it?
38:16The future will at some point be a full open relationship but at the moment it's baby steps still
38:25My house
38:30It's just been a very overwhelming process but um
38:35I don't want to keep crying but like I'm actually really proud of myself
38:39Opening up our relationship is a lot harder than I first thought
38:45Like
38:46I really thought it was going to be a straight line but it's curves and angles and everything that goes with it
38:51It's
38:52Not easy
38:53But like we've absolutely got the ability to do it
39:00I absolutely love you to pieces and I'm happy and glad and I love you so much
39:04I love you so much
39:15It just goes to show that you're saying that you haven't got it however
39:19If you hadn't then why is everyone saying yes?
39:23Lauren and Tom have invited a small group back for an intimate party in the residence playroom
39:29Ooh
39:31Even though they've said yes and all that kind of stuff
39:33It doesn't mean like you know they see me and go actually no what the fuck is that?
39:37It's what goes to my head
39:39I know
39:40So that's why we're going to go take it one step at a time
39:43Okay?
39:44Yeah
39:45No pressure
39:46They hope that by focusing on touch and foreplay Tom will manage to get an erection
39:54A stumbling block that's stopping the couple from opening up
40:00I'm hoping to leave here knowing the fact that I don't have to worry about
40:07For my dick not to hug
40:17Oh!
40:18Oh!
40:19Oh!
40:20Oh!
40:21Oh!
40:22Oh!
40:23Oh!
40:24Oh!
40:25Oh!
40:26Oh!
40:27Oh!
40:28Oh!
40:29Oh!
40:30No
40:31No
40:32Yeah, I don't quite know how I'm feeling right now
40:35I'm feeling in shock to be fair
40:37My biggest concern is obviously making sure that Tom is comfortable
40:40Because I will get naked and run around
40:42Like I am the complete opposite of Tom
40:50I know I want to be open, and I'm not planning on changing that
40:52But I'm not the person that struggles with this lifestyle and it's Tom that is
40:57We should make the lighting a little bit more sexy guys. Oh, yeah
41:06Put blindfold on and nice nice nice. Is there any areas that you genuinely want us to avoid? It's basically just taking the top
41:19I
41:21Definitely want to make Lauren happy
41:23We'll try anything they jump this hurdle basically, but once it's in my head. I can't before I freeze
41:32Once I'm in that rut. I can't get out of the world. How are you doing now?
41:38Getting worships you're getting all the attention. This is my favorite thing
41:46Despite Effie's advice to actively engage in foreplay Tom lets the ladies lead
41:52That's definitely gets a bit too overwhelming
42:08It was Prince she was down my spine I could feel everything
42:12I feel absolutely petrified and sick
42:29Next time on open house are you ready for the next level?
42:32I
42:36Feel absolutely petrified
42:41Is it okay to kiss
42:44It's two guys
42:46I
42:48Have identified as gay today. I don't know
42:52I've been feeling very
42:54Nutty never had any experience with gaming before
42:58The worst case scenario would be reacting in a way, which I'm not expecting
43:04This is out of my comfort area sure
