Short filmTranscript
00:00We are completely in love, but it doesn't mean you can't screw around.
00:05British couples are increasingly questioning monogamy.
00:09The biggest contraception of knowing to man is wedding cake.
00:15But is it possible to open up your relationship without harming it?
00:19It's a complete mystery, the whole thing. This is it. We don't know what to expect.
00:23These curious couples are about to find out.
00:26Oh, that is gorgeous.
00:27They're traveling to a unique retreat.
00:30Hello, you all right?
00:32Where, with the help of a specialist relationship therapist...
00:36Life is short. Why limit sex to just one person?
00:41And a group of single, available and sexually liberated residents...
00:46It's just natural to have sex with multiple people.
00:51They're about to discover if their sexual fantasies...
00:54Oh, jeez!
00:56...can become a reality.
00:59It'd be like the idea of group sex.
01:02We were just wondering if you'd like to spend the night with us.
01:04...and whether or not they'll be able to break one of society's greatest taboos...
01:09I should have been thinking about the man that I love and how he was feeling.
01:15...and have sex with other people.
01:18Oh, my God!
01:19Wow, I was not expecting that.
01:23This is the most up my comfort zone I've ever been.
01:26I'm nervous.
01:36I'm nervous.
01:37Yeah.
01:38I've got butterflies.
01:39How are you feeling?
01:41Yeah, buzzing.
01:41Checking into the retreat are Ellie and Chaos, whose love affair began online.
01:47When I first saw Ellie, she was wearing these very small shorts and her bum was like...
01:52...kind of hanging out.
01:53Oi!
01:54It was a very hot day, so...
01:56Are you ready to have fun, Ellie?
01:57Yeah.
01:59Can't wait.
02:01Chaos was quick to take the relationship to the next level.
02:04I prepared this video.
02:06Will you be my girlfriend?
02:08And it went viral.
02:09I went bright red.
02:10I went literally the shade of a tomato, and all the comments were saying about how...
02:16Yeah.
02:17Sit!
02:18As a professional GB athlete, Chaos knows how to stay cool under pressure.
02:24I'm just a really chilled and laid-back person.
02:27I have complete trust in Ellie and what she does, so I have nothing to worry or be jealous
02:32about.
02:33And being super fit helps him keep up in the bedroom.
02:37We do do it, like, well, every day.
02:40The chemistry is good, so we're quite adventurous.
02:44Top notch.
02:46I would probably say that I have a very high, like, sex drive, and, yeah, it's hard to find
02:52someone that matches that.
02:53Now the couple want to find out if opening up their relationship, starting with a threesome,
02:59will help them keep the spark alive.
03:01I'd say the honeymoon period is over, but we're still very much so attracted to each other.
03:07I do think it's a bit naive to think that you can be with one person for your entire life.
03:12Can you see her?
03:14Yes.
03:15Oh, my God.
03:17How are you doing?
03:18Here to welcome them are hosts Jess and Tom, who are in a long-term open relationship themselves.
03:24How are you feeling?
03:26Very excited.
03:27Yeah?
03:27To see what's come, yeah.
03:28Hello.
03:29Hello, everyone.
03:30Hi, everyone.
03:31Hi.
03:32Now, Kea.
03:33Nice to meet you.
03:34Nice to meet you.
03:35God, you look so good.
03:36Yeah.
03:41Intimacy therapist Dr. Laurie Beth wants to help the couple take their first steps into
03:46non-monogamy.
03:47Hey, grab a chair.
03:49It's good to meet you, too.
03:50So why don't you tell me what has brought you here?
03:54We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to have a threesome.
03:57Yep.
03:58Seeing Ellie, for example, kiss another girl or anything like that, I'm attracted to that,
04:03so...
04:04I think that's Kea's ideal scenario.
04:06I mean, that's kind of every guy's dream, to be honest.
04:09What do you think other people might bring to your relationship?
04:13I mean, more fun, I guess.
04:14Yeah, I guess.
04:15Yeah, okay.
04:15Yeah.
04:16More fun.
04:17Yeah.
04:18So where are you in your sexuality?
04:20I've always said I don't really label things.
04:22I never consider myself as straight or bisexual.
04:25I've always had attraction to both sexes, so that's really how I feel.
04:30So opportunities are structured with that in mind?
04:33Yes, yeah.
04:35What is jealousy like for you?
04:37I've never been jealous in my life, really.
04:39I mean, I've nothing.
04:40I don't know how...
04:41Like, there's nothing that will make Kea's jealous, he says, so...
04:44That's interesting.
04:45Not that I know of, anyway.
04:46Yeah, exactly.
04:48But nothing that comes to mind.
04:49What's jealousy like for you?
04:51Slightly a bit jealous.
04:52I mean, it would be strange not to be.
04:53I don't think that he would ever do anything behind my back, so I do fully trust him in
04:58that way, but he can be a little bit jealous.
05:02Okay, so before you date together, Ellie, I want you to go on a social alone.
05:09I want you to explore your bisexuality on your own first, without Kea's there, so you
05:14don't have to worry about jealousy.
05:16You'll have the opportunity to meet someone, spend the night with them, and lay the groundwork
05:21for a threesome.
05:22Yeah, that sounds good to me.
05:24Cool.
05:25It's hard to predict how someone will react seeing their partner give or receive pleasure
05:30from another.
05:31She's not actually sure she might get jealous seeing him with another woman.
05:35It can be fine one minute, and absolutely not fine the next.
05:40We're gonna go away and have socials, so mine's tonight.
05:44That's what's got my nerves going, but I guess I'm excited as well.
05:48Give me a heart.
05:54We're gonna throw ourselves into it, I think.
05:57Give it 100%, see what it's about.
05:59Yeah, and have fun with it.
06:02The couple have only just arrived at the retreat, and one of them has already made a big impression
06:08on the residents.
06:10When Ellie came in, yeah, she was so confident, I was just like, I didn't even care about the
06:15guy, I was just looking at her like...
06:16That's why I said she looked classy as well.
06:17Very.
06:18She is bisexual.
06:19Oh, she is bisexual.
06:20Yeah.
06:20Oh, okay, cool.
06:21And he's straight.
06:22There's a lot of girls that are okay with getting with a girl, but wouldn't want the
06:26guy to have sex with her.
06:27Girl, yeah.
06:28So they'll be having fun, and he can just watch.
06:30Watch.
06:30Yeah.
06:34Are you scared?
06:36A little bit.
06:37Next to check in to this exclusive retreat are couple Helen and Steve from Dorset.
06:43My first impression of Steve, I thought he was Jack the Lad.
06:47Remember, you sent me a picture of a bed at a hotel, a four-poster bed saying, are we going
06:53to hang out?
06:53I thought, who's this man think he is?
06:56She had a lovely smile, but it was her arse.
06:59She had a very nice bum.
07:00I didn't fall in love with him.
07:04He irritated me.
07:05He would contact me about three times a year on Facebook.
07:09All right, babe, when are we going to get married then?
07:11And then my house burnt down, and he offered to help, and I don't know, I kind of really
07:18fancied him with his brush, painting my walls.
07:20And now she drives a Range Rover Sport.
07:22What a life.
07:23That's not me.
07:24Well, Kusty, you couldn't go wrong meeting me, babe, could you?
07:27Wow.
07:28Oh, look at the river.
07:29Look at the size of that lake as well, look.
07:31Don't have too many drinks, Steve.
07:32You'd be skinny dipping in there.
07:33Damn right I will.
07:35The couple have been together for four years and have a one-year-old child.
07:40My daughter is my baby girl.
07:42My pride and joy.
07:44And she'd make anyone broody?
07:46Broody, does that mean horny?
07:47No.
07:49He's funny with words.
07:50He doesn't get them all.
07:52Helen and Steve have no complaints between the sheets.
07:55I'd rate Steve 9 out of 10 in the bedroom.
08:00This tongue is better than anything you get at Ann Summers.
08:03Ann Summers has got nothing on my tongue.
08:06That's fair.
08:07It's true, though, isn't it?
08:07Yeah, that's fair.
08:09Oh, my gosh, the size of that.
08:12Steve and Helen are here to explore if being in an open relationship with other people can make them stronger as a couple.
08:20Here we are.
08:21Let's go.
08:22It's an opportunity to discover what we both really, truly want.
08:26I think this will make a huge difference to our relationship.
08:31Wow, pretty, isn't it?
08:32I'm excited about going on this journey.
08:34It's definitely an eye-opener.
08:35Hey, guys.
08:39It's nice to meet you.
08:41I'm going to give you a hug.
08:42Hey.
08:43How you doing, mate?
08:43You all right?
08:44Yeah, really good, mate.
08:45Smart hat, that, isn't it?
08:46Nice to meet you.
08:47I'm Josh.
08:47How you doing?
08:47Welcome to the house.
08:50Take you on a tour around the place, yeah?
08:52Yeah, all right.
08:52Do you want to do this way?
08:53Oh, yeah, you all right?
08:54Good, thank you.
08:55Nice to meet you.
09:00There's a steam.
09:01He's got thrown in the deep end.
09:03Obviously, with letting them, it's quite hard.
09:05Yeah, I might feel a little bit uneasy, him going on a date with someone else.
09:09So, yeah, cross that bridge when I come into that.
09:18You've got to get me some sexy outfit.
09:20Ellie and Chaos are hoping to bring another woman
09:23into their relationship.
09:25But before they date as a couple...
09:27I mean, I'm no fashion expert, but...
09:31I think it goes.
09:32Dr. Laurie wants Ellie to explore her bisexuality
09:36without having to manage her jealousy.
09:39So she's going on a solo social.
09:41I'm being a little bitch right now.
09:43You need to have it a little bit up.
09:45No, like, point.
09:46Yeah, like that.
09:47I love staring at a palette.
09:51If she makes a connection with someone,
09:53she'll have the opportunity to invite them to spend the night with her.
09:57It is amazing that I'm finally kind of getting to explore this
10:02when I'm in a relationship with Chaos.
10:04It's going to be a great experience.
10:05Yeah.
10:06Sexy, yes.
10:07I think she's going to enjoy herself,
10:10and I look forward to hearing all the gossip about it.
10:13Yeah, you look good.
10:15Fun.
10:15Looking good as well.
10:16Does it look good?
10:17Yeah.
10:18I'm excited to get to know new people and have fun.
10:21I'm taking it as it comes,
10:22so we'll have to wait and see what is in store.
10:25Have fun.
10:26What?
10:27No.
10:28I'll see you tomorrow.
10:29I'll see you tomorrow.
10:30Love you, too.
10:37Tonight, Ellie has a chance to socialize at a party
10:40where all the guests share a belief in the benefits of non-monogamy.
10:45Hi.
10:46Hello.
10:47You okay?
10:48Good.
10:48Nice to see you again.
10:49Nice to see you, too.
10:51Host Jess is on hand to make sure things run smoothly.
10:55I wanted to introduce you to Ellie.
10:57So have you been having a good day?
10:59Yeah, so, I mean, we were throwing in the D-pad.
11:01I don't know what to expect.
11:03I really don't know.
11:04It would be nice to find out their expectations as well.
11:07I don't know whether they'd find me attractive.
11:11Do you have, like, a relationship with that girl?
11:12No.
11:13Have any of you?
11:14No.
11:15No.
11:15I have.
11:17Yeah.
11:18How was that?
11:20KS is quite comfortable for me to get with a girl
11:22because he obviously finds that attracted to him.
11:26Hi, ladies.
11:28But he doesn't find it with men, so he wouldn't want me to do that.
11:31What are you?
11:32Sagittarius.
11:32Okay.
11:33Yeah, I'm Cancer.
11:34Okay, yeah.
11:35So, KS and Leo.
11:37Oh, really?
11:38My ex was Leo.
11:40Oh.
11:40Yeah, so...
11:41We're picking the same ones as well.
11:44Aries and Leos, they're, like, the ones I've always been, like, romantically involved with.
11:48It's so big.
11:49Yeah.
11:50Yeah, like, literally no other signs.
11:52Maybe an Aries, in case.
11:54I know, it's really nice.
11:55I'm the best of you.
11:57How long have you two been together for?
11:59A year.
12:00Oh, okay.
12:00Like, we...
12:01We were dating before that.
12:03Oh, okay.
12:03And we were pretty much exclusive when we were dating, so it's been more than a year.
12:06Yeah, but officially.
12:07Yeah, a year.
12:08Yeah.
12:09Well, our anniversary is on the 27th of this month.
12:11Oh, okay.
12:12So, see.
12:12Do you mind if you're cute?
12:14Uh, no, not yet.
12:15A threesome.
12:16Yeah!
12:17A threesome!
12:17Don't!
12:18That's what he wanted for his birthday.
12:19Oh, my God!
12:20Of course he wanted.
12:21Grace, are you available on the 27th?
12:23Yeah.
12:24Oh, you know, you should have had it as well.
12:27Cheers, ladies.
12:28Cheers.
12:29Cheers.
12:29To help Ellie get comfortable with non-monogamy, the residents have arranged a game of spin the bottle.
12:36That's you.
12:37That is a homeset new girl.
12:39Whee!
12:40Kissing someone else while in a committed relationship is a first for Ellie.
12:47I'm nervous because I feel like it's all eyes on me, so that makes me very nervous.
12:55Hey.
12:56Oh, let's go.
12:57Let's go.
12:58Literally.
12:58It's easy because we're sat next to each other.
13:00Exactly.
13:02Whee!
13:03Yay!
13:03Yes, ladies.
13:06That was really cute.
13:07Yeah, you've got very nice lips.
13:09For me, kissing the girls, there's no feelings involved.
13:14Yay!
13:16It's just a game, like, just have fun with it.
13:22Ooh!
13:23Ooh!
13:23Oh!
13:24Hey!
13:25Game over.
13:27Ellie's decided she would like to spend time alone with one of the residents.
13:31With girls, it's harder to choose.
13:33They're all so lovely, and I didn't get to kiss Gracie.
13:38And obviously, she's, like, so pretty.
13:40And I chose Gracie.
13:42Woo!
13:43Woo!
13:43Don't make me fun!
13:45Yay!
13:47For Ellie, the date is an opportunity to lay the groundwork for a threesome before boyfriend
13:53Chaos gets involved.
13:54Her vibe is great.
13:56Like, she seems really fun.
13:58I do fancy Ellie, yeah.
13:59She is really, really sweet.
14:01She's definitely my type.
14:02So, yeah, I think me and Ellie got on really, really well.
14:05And the girls could see it as well.
14:07So, that's also a good sign.
14:10It definitely makes me nervous, but I just take it step by step.
14:14And, you know, if you're comfortable with it, then just have fun with it.
14:30Ellie is on a date without Chaos before the couple trial opening up their relationship
14:35together.
14:37Would you like to even do the honors?
14:38Yeah, you first, darling.
14:41Oh, adorable.
14:42This is cute.
14:43This is literally, like, glamping.
14:45It is, isn't it?
14:46And she's invited Grace to spend some one-on-one time with her.
14:49I'm going to take my heels off.
14:51Please, get comfortable.
14:53Cheers.
14:54Chin-chin.
14:55This is obviously my first time on a date with a girl, so that is really exciting.
15:00And, like, I can't wait to explore that side of my sexuality.
15:04I guess you're, like, open to getting to, like, know me and, I mean, Chaos as well.
15:09Yeah.
15:09You'd be happy to, like, have a relationship with someone who's in a relationship.
15:13Or be involved in their relationship.
15:16Like, yeah, either way.
15:17Like, because it would be me coming to, like, your two's relationship.
15:22Yeah.
15:22Whatever works best for you two.
15:25While Ellie and Grace get to know each other more intimately, Chaos is keeping himself
15:30busy.
15:31I would like to think she's having a good time.
15:36And I'll find out tomorrow.
15:39I feel a little good.
15:40Just the workout was just to tie myself up.
15:43But the only thing is, there's loads of wasps in here.
15:46And bugs are a big no-no for me.
15:49Oh, fucking spiders.
15:52So, I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight in this room knowing there's two wasps flying
15:56around.
15:59Back in the yurt, the girls have found a game to play.
16:03Shall we try these dices out?
16:04Yeah, you want to?
16:05Okay, so, you're my lover.
16:10Okay, cool.
16:11So, you've got to lick me.
16:13Where do you want to?
16:13Are you having me to lick you?
16:15Are you having me to lick you?
16:17Okay, I'll just let you be surprised.
16:26That was nice.
16:27That was nice.
16:27And that's actually, like, one of my spots.
16:29So, I was like, ah!
16:31Okay, so.
16:32Okay, cool.
16:33You can't go wrong with it.
16:34I threw myself into it and, like, tried to see whether I could develop, like, a deeper
16:39connection.
16:40Okay, my turn.
16:43Massage.
16:44Oh, my God, yes!
16:45Wow!
16:48You've got very, very, very soft skin.
16:50Yeah, it's very nice.
16:53It's so good.
16:55Amazing!
16:56Okay, well, clearly, she's kissed my boobs, so feel free to boob kiss kiss my boobs.
17:02Yeah, well, I'll give a little...
17:04Loved it.
17:08Yeah?
17:09Yeah.
17:09Yeah.
17:13Before I turn the light off, do you want to have a little kiss?
17:17Yeah?
17:18Yeah.
17:19I just feel like, you know, there's been so much tonight.
17:24It was quite a new experience, so maybe, I don't know, maybe I was just a bit nervous.
17:28Kind of, um, hard for me when I already have an emotional connection with someone else in
17:33a relationship.
17:44Committed couple Helen and Steve have come to the retreat to explore opening up their relationship
17:49to other sexual partners.
17:51Hey, guys.
17:52Hello.
17:53Come on in and sit down.
17:54Dr. Laurie is on hand to help the couple brave their first few steps into non-monogamy.
18:00So, what brought you here now?
18:04I want to date other people, have a connection with someone.
18:08You're the driving force.
18:09Would that be a fair thing to say?
18:11Would you say me?
18:12Yeah, definitely.
18:13On this experience, I've pushed this a little bit more because I want Steve to recognize things
18:19that are important in a relationship because there's a lot of things that we don't do together.
18:25What's the romance like in your relationship?
18:28Steve's very, very busy all the time.
18:30You know, I'm a busy person too.
18:33We don't have a massive amount of time for each other.
18:36If romantic is nice, I could write you a list.
18:39I'm always nice to her like that.
18:40I'm just that sort of guy.
18:42Isn't it?
18:42That's not romantic.
18:43Romance is whining and dying on someone and taking them out.
18:46We've not been for a date yet.
18:47I took you on the back of my jet ski.
18:48Steve, do you have any ideas of things that you would like to do?
18:52I don't think I could just meet someone and just jump into a bedroom.
18:56I think they'd have to get to know the people more.
18:58Consensual non-monogamy takes lots of different forms.
19:01This gives you the opportunity to see how different things feel
19:03and to challenge some of your boundaries that come from monogamy.
19:08We've got quite a good relationship with sort of, you know, we don't have the insecurities or anything.
19:14You love me, don't you?
19:16Of course, babe.
19:16Yeah, there you go.
19:17Well, that was a pretty quick response.
19:21So tonight, you're each going to go on a social, spending the nights separately.
19:27Then you're each going to have the opportunity to choose somebody to spend one-to-one time with.
19:32You don't have to do anything, but I'm encouraging you to push out the boat a little bit.
19:38Yeah, lovely.
19:39Come on, that's Dave.
19:41Nice to meet you.
19:42See you later on.
19:42You too.
19:46This is a really interesting couple.
19:49I suspect that there's an emotional void in Helen that is really driving this whole thing.
19:54But I'm not sure that meeting and potentially having sex with other people is going to fill that void.
20:00I'm really curious to see how they do on their socials.
20:05That's so nice, isn't it?
20:07Yeah.
20:07Oh, that's so nice.
20:09So where do you find yourself at with this?
20:14I don't know.
20:15I think, I don't know.
20:17It's very hard, Steve, isn't it?
20:20Yeah.
20:21I am looking forward to my social.
20:23It's a good bunch of people.
20:24It'd be good to get out and enjoy the company and see where it takes us.
20:27I just plan to have some fun.
20:29But Steve is considering the potential risks.
20:33I wouldn't mind being game and experimenting and that.
20:36Would you let me go and bang, sorry, sleep with one?
20:39Would you let me go and sleep with one of these women?
20:41Just to go on a trial, just to see what I was like.
20:44It's not a laughing matter, this really.
20:46This is very serious decisions, Helen.
20:48All right, put the whip down.
20:57Last night, Ellie went on her first ever date with a girl.
21:02Hello.
21:02Hello, stranger.
21:04While boyfriend Chaos spent the night alone.
21:07Yeah, I think Gracie's really attractive.
21:08She has such a nice smile and her skin is so good.
21:12I love her freckles, her hair, everything.
21:14But it's not that, like, I really want to rip your clothes off kind of thing.
21:19I was, like, nervous to see my own boyfriend.
21:22I like your smile.
21:22Are they new?
21:23No, they're Gracie's.
21:28So, tell me about the night.
21:30What did you do?
21:31No, I'll tell you.
21:32You tell yours.
21:32Well, we played Spin the Bottle.
21:37Yeah.
21:37So, I kissed Kelsey and Chanel.
21:40When Ellie told me that she was kissing multiple girls doing Spin the Bottle, I thought that
21:45was quite hot, to be honest.
21:46I mean, who wouldn't?
21:47I think that's, for me, that's a turn-on.
21:50So, I've got, yeah, I'm all for that.
21:52Then Gracie.
21:54And we went to a yurt.
21:57I ended up licking her neck.
21:58I mean, she licked my neck.
22:00And I, like, kissed her boob.
22:03You say you have quite a fun night, then.
22:05Tonight, the couple will have the chance to invite someone on a date together, in the
22:10hope of having a threesome for the first time.
22:13I just don't know how much I feel about you going and kissing people.
22:17Well, you know it's going to, that something like that is going to happen, you know?
22:21Yeah, but obviously you don't have to.
22:25No, but...
22:26I'm going to be nervous and maybe, maybe jealous.
22:29I don't know.
22:30For me, him kissing girls, that's definitely tiptoeing on, like, boundaries.
22:45Helen and Steve are getting ready for separate socials.
22:49Got chicken legs at a minute.
22:50Dr Laurie wants them to try and make a connection with someone, and then invite them to spend
22:55some time together, alone, on a date.
22:58My expectations are to have fun and go on dates with a couple of people.
23:03It will be nice.
23:04The social will be an opportunity for Helen to experience romance, something she thinks
23:10her relationship lacks.
23:12Remember Christmas Eve?
23:13I wanted us to wear Christmas pyjamas and watch a movie together and you were at the pub.
23:18Yeah.
23:19It's Christmas, isn't it?
23:19It's when you go out, Christmas, isn't it?
23:20No, family time.
23:21Family time.
23:23I'm out of here.
23:24I'll have fun.
23:26Love you.
23:27The retreat's sexually liberated residents are ready to welcome the couple.
23:42Hello.
23:44I'm good, thank you.
23:45Nice to see you.
23:46You look stunning.
23:46I'm a few square.
23:49Steve.
23:50How you doing?
23:50How you doing, man?
23:52I don't get many parties like this, do you?
23:53No, absolutely not.
23:57Hello.
23:58How you doing?
23:58You all right?
23:59How you doing?
23:59How you doing?
23:59You doing all right?
24:00Enjoy.
24:01Have a nice evening.
24:02I'll catch you later, Steve.
24:03What's happening, girls?
24:04So what brings you here, then?
24:05Experience, isn't it?
24:06Yeah.
24:07I've used to it.
24:07I've used to it.
24:07I've used to anything like this before.
24:09I just mean, like, like, an open relationship.
24:11No, never.
24:11Like, when I went on dates or anything like that with anyone else, or I had, like, a threesome
24:15or anything, no, no.
24:17Ready to spice things up later?
24:18You're like, yeah, let's just go in.
24:20See how the boat goes, innit?
24:20Yeah.
24:21Yeah.
24:21Not used to dating etiquette, Steve takes a novel approach to flirting.
24:28What's your ideal date night, then?
24:29Bit Emmerdale Farmer in front of the telly, innit?
24:32I was joking.
24:33I was joking.
24:34I'd be straight out there.
24:36Put that on a date night, you're joking.
24:39It's quite hard.
24:40I'm not really a person to talk into depth about a sexual life like that.
24:43I like a bit more privacy.
24:45I don't like to boast about things that I've done or boast about things that I'd like to
24:49do.
24:50So are you, like, into anything kinky, then?
24:52I used to be very bad.
24:54What do you mean, very bad?
24:55I used to be a ladies' entertainer.
24:58No!
24:59Oh, wait, like a magic mic.
25:00You're a magic mic.
25:02Did I see a move that you used to do?
25:04I might show you one of those.
25:05Oh, come on.
25:06What's the typical type of person you do when they go for?
25:10I've never been all for the big sort of hench guys, kind of all the muscles and that.
25:15At her social...
25:16You two are right, because you've got definition.
25:19How much do you weigh?
25:20I'm 14.
25:21Helen is wasting no time getting to know the residents.
25:24That's muscle then, innit?
25:25That's muscle.
25:26Yeah, because you've got, like, a 30-inch waist, don't you?
25:29Yeah, way too, way too.
25:30Yeah, yeah.
25:31Yeah.
25:32And how tall are you?
25:33I'm 6'1".
25:34And obviously you work out.
25:35You don't do that lifting your breakfast spoon in the morning, do you?
25:39Do you know what I mean?
25:40These guys are great.
25:41Everyone's chatting, everything's flowing.
25:43It made me feel like I can be myself.
25:45So I'd like to know where it kind of goes from here.
25:47You've got a lot of bannery right now, but that's how it comes on.
25:50I don't.
25:52I'm shy as they come.
25:53I feel like Helen's rolled out and me and her were clicking.
25:57We're having a bit of bannery.
25:58I'd definitely like to take her out just to show her that it can happen.
26:01Like, there's more things out there.
26:03Hello, hello.
26:05How are you?
26:06You look phenomenal.
26:07You know, I've got some eyelashes on, so it's all good.
26:09Fresh, you want to.
26:10Yeah, you know.
26:11What do you do for a job?
26:12Dorset, Somerset.
26:14Like, so southwest-y, yeah.
26:16What do you do for a job?
26:17I just set up a barista coffee business called the Screamin' Bean.
26:20What was on your mind when you thought of Screamin' Bean?
26:23My sister said you cannot call it that because it is just disgusting.
26:28Yeah, thank you.
26:29Like a clitoris.
26:29It's a bean.
26:30It's clicky there, isn't it?
26:31I just don't know how you didn't see that, Screamin' Bean.
26:34Architect Josh has taken a shine to Helen.
26:37You sound like an experienced lady.
26:39What do you want?
26:40Oh!
26:42Commitment and time.
26:43Commitment and time.
26:44Helen's a lovely lady.
26:48I love talking to her.
26:49She just seems like an absolute genuine person that, um, just, you'd want to be around.
26:53I think with tattoos, like, people go, oh, watch your tattoo, Helen, and it just looks like a little F.
26:57Where are your tattoos?
26:58Where are your tattoos?
26:59Well, you can't really see it.
27:01It's in there.
27:02Oh, see it later.
27:04Another time in the pool.
27:05See it later?
27:05Later.
27:07And Helen has also made a connection with Josh.
27:10I liked the way that Josh asked me what it was that I wanted, because that, I feel, is important.
27:18And the fact that he'd done that showed that he values the other person's sort of needs.
27:23So, uh, that one was a bit of a winner for me.
27:29On the other side of the retreat, Steve is loosening up.
27:35He's decided to give the female residents a taste of his ladies' entertainment.
27:52I won't fight, okay?
27:53Okay, okay.
27:54Now lay down.
27:55Lay down?
27:56The striptease dance vibe, um, I'm not gonna lie, I thought there was a dick in my mouth at one point.
28:06Yeah, that's some way to meet someone anyway, just balls straight in the mouth.
28:09Um, he's a really fun character.
28:11Yep, you can take your mask off now, are you ready?
28:15Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
28:17You're not shy of me, kid.
28:18Yeah, you know, you're not, you're not shy at all.
28:20Thank you very much.
28:23Thank you very much.
28:25Oh, wow.
28:27Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes.
28:40I think my striptease went down really well with the girls, they were very excited, there was a very large amount screaming.
28:51It's nice to make someone smile.
28:53No, no, no, no, no, no.
28:55As the social winds down, Helen is getting closer to resident Josh.
29:08There's something that you said today which made me think, yeah, that's a really decent thing.
29:13I want to know. I'm interested in you. You're a lovely person to talk to.
29:18Yeah, full of energy.
29:19And a hell of a lot of fun, that's for sure.
29:20And she's invited him to go on a romantic date.
29:26For me, it's an emotional connection with someone that I can get on with, someone that actually wants to listen.
29:32And that's the reasons why I've picked him.
29:34Shall we go?
29:35Yeah.
29:36Bye.
29:36See you later.
29:39Helen picked me. It was a nice surprise.
29:41She had the pick of the guys and she brought a lot of laughter out of me.
29:44And I think she's just a great person and I just would love to get to know her a little bit more.
29:50Post-strip, partner Steve also wants to spend some one-on-one time with one of the residents.
29:58Jess?
29:59Yeah?
30:00She told you to come and have a little bit of bed, hadn't I?
30:01Yeah?
30:02Yeah, we'll have fun.
30:03Yeah, we're going to have some fun.
30:05I'm really looking forward to going to spend some quality time with Jess.
30:08She's one sort of person.
30:10Very, very weird to be in this situation, to go off with a different woman whilst my wife knows.
30:16I will enjoy it.
30:17I got a nice little fun of you.
30:19Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess.
30:22We're going to have some fun, definitely.
30:24And, yeah, we'll just see where the night goes, yeah.
30:26Committed couple Helen and Steve are dating people outside of their relationship for the very first time.
30:46After you.
30:47Oh, lovely.
30:49I'm really cute.
30:51I'll take your jacket if you'd like, but I think you're cold, so I'm not going to take it.
30:54Oh, bless you.
30:55Helen is being romanced by Josh from West London.
30:58Does it like your glass of wine first?
31:00Yes, please.
31:00Yeah?
31:02I'm excited to spend time with Josh.
31:04He just seemed really kind of relaxed, chilled and genuine.
31:07And I kind of like that.
31:09Me and you are going to have a fantastic time.
31:10Yeah.
31:11Look, cheers to this.
31:13Thank you for picking me.
31:14After you, Jess.
31:17It's cute in here, to be fair.
31:18While Steve is having a one-to-one with Jess from Belfast.
31:22Locking the door.
31:23Securing it.
31:26Jess is a very nice, bubbly girl.
31:29Oh, fuck it.
31:30I think she's on the same wavelength as I am to see how things occur and how things progress.
31:36Steve struggled with flirting earlier, but being alone with Jess seems to bring out his playful side.
31:43So you live in Glasgow then, yeah?
31:45No, Ireland.
31:47Ireland.
31:47Belfast, yeah.
31:48Ireland's not a different country, is it?
31:50It is.
31:50Is it?
31:51Yeah.
31:51No, it's not a little thing just above England, is it?
31:53No.
31:54I like the accent, man.
31:55I like it.
31:56The Scottish accent or the Irish accent?
31:58Irish accent.
31:58Irish?
31:59Yeah, yeah.
31:59Do you think I have an Irish accent?
32:00Yeah.
32:00Would you like another drink?
32:02Yeah, I'll take a tap up.
32:03What?
32:04A tap up?
32:04I'll take a tap up.
32:05A tap up.
32:06The date's going really well.
32:08Jess is quite a bubbly person and quite a good laugh to be around.
32:11She's definitely got a bit of banner and maybe we could see what progresses.
32:17Helen says she hasn't been on a single date with Steve in their whole four-year relationship.
32:21When I started working on building sites, I was scared to go up and do gym ladies.
32:26You said you worked on building sites.
32:27What did you do?
32:29So small talk over dinner is providing welcome attention.
32:34I used to just like sort out concrete blocks.
32:37They're like 80 to 100 kg.
32:39Fucking hell.
32:40Are you joking?
32:41No.
32:41I got told that I'd chat people to death, but you know, it's not really a bad thing.
32:46I love it.
32:47You've got a lot to say.
32:49Josh was actually really gentle and quite intensive.
32:51I kind of liked that, that he actually wanted to listen to me.
32:55It was just nice.
32:59I used to be a David Beckham person, didn't I?
33:02Yeah?
33:02Yeah, I used to dress up with David Beckham.
33:03I can see that, to be fair.
33:05I can see that.
33:05You're definitely not Victoria.
33:07I'm not Victoria.
33:08You're definitely not.
33:09What do you mean?
33:10You're not that way.
33:11That insult.
33:12No, I take that as a fucking massive compliment.
33:15A compliment?
33:15At least you've got a bit of physique.
33:18Yeah.
33:18Yeah, that Victoria's got bones and kind of like, arse.
33:21Do you like curves then?
33:23Yeah, I like something, a bit of...
33:25A bit of something?
33:26Are you more of like a boobs guy or like a bum guy?
33:28An arse.
33:29An arse guy?
33:29A bum guy?
33:30A bottom, a bottom.
33:31A bottom guy.
33:32A bottom person.
33:32From what I've understood of you so far, I feel like you need support.
33:38I feel like you need people around you that will boost you up.
33:41I've never had that.
33:44There wouldn't be nothing nicer than the fact that someone actually believing in me and guiding
33:49me.
33:49Do you get me?
33:50I love everything you subscribe to.
33:54I think you can tell that I'm having a fantastic time.
33:58Are you?
33:59Yeah.
33:59I feel like I can't comment on the situation.
34:01You can't comment on the situation?
34:02No.
34:03No?
34:04I'm enjoying myself.
34:05Of course I am.
34:05Good.
34:06I've been on a date for a long time.
34:09Tonight has been like a real eye-opener.
34:12For me, it was about getting to know someone because that's something I feel is missing from
34:17my relationship at the minute.
34:18So, yeah, I've really enjoyed my time.
34:21Back in his yurt.
34:28Do you get whipped all the time?
34:30Do you like all that whipped shit?
34:31It depends who you're whipped.
34:33And despite turning the conversation kinky.
34:36I could do more with my tongue than what most people do with the whole of their body.
34:39Yeah?
34:40Definitely, yeah.
34:41You think?
34:41Yeah, a million percent.
34:42A million percent.
34:43I'm coming to Ireland with you.
34:44You're coming back with me?
34:46Yeah, I'm going to meet you that time.
34:47Yeah.
34:47Come on, then.
34:48I'll come there.
34:49That's right.
34:51Steve's decided to call it a night.
34:54Did you have fun with me?
34:55Yeah, yeah.
34:56Yeah, you did.
34:57Good.
34:57I really had a great time.
34:58Jessie's a very nice girl.
35:00If I was 21, I think, and I come on to an experience like this, I think I'd be well-gained for doing
35:05it all.
35:06But we've been together for 40 years, and that's something I don't want to lose.
35:19Oh, give me a cuddle.
35:22You know, I love fun.
35:24After a night experiencing their first ever taste of non-monogamy, Dr. Laurie wants to
35:31help the couple reflect on their dates.
35:33Okay, so let's start with the early part of the evening.
35:38How was that?
35:40Fun.
35:41It was all right.
35:42I picked my date.
35:44Yeah, we shared a couple of drinks together.
35:46Mm-hmm.
35:47Yeah, we clicked.
35:47We got on really well.
35:49And, yeah, he's a nice guy.
35:50I went on a date with a girl called Jess.
35:52Mm-hmm.
35:53I did a little show for the ladies while we were in there on the actual thing yesterday.
35:57So I took her with me just to get her to know her a bit more.
36:00You enjoyed the time?
36:01Oh, it was a lovely time with her.
36:02Very lovely girl.
36:03Very, very nice person.
36:05Now that you've both had romantic dates with other people, how do you feel about open relationships?
36:10The whole idea of this experience, really, was to sort of better our relationship.
36:16I do always feel that he lives life in the fast lane and sometimes that, you know, not
36:22all my needs are met.
36:23I do agree with what she's saying and I do work a substantial amount of time.
36:28But it has made me realise now that I do need to spend a lot more time with Helen and
36:32be more there for her because I'm not usually there.
36:34Oh, that's good.
36:34Which to me is a good thing about coming on to here.
36:36And it's made me realise I don't think I could be in an open relationship.
36:39No, you could just say no.
36:40Hand on my heart, I really don't.
36:42It's not unusual.
36:43You know, often couples think they're ready and then they have to go away and work on
36:47themselves and their relationships.
36:49It's taught us to sort of work on our relationship, definitely.
36:54It's been definitely an eye-opener.
36:56100% an eye-opener.
36:58Yeah.
37:00Thank you for throwing yourselves into it and I wish you all the best.
37:03Thank you very much.
37:04Have fun.
37:05We will.
37:05Nice to meet you.
37:06You too.
37:07Take care.
37:08Bye now.
37:13This was a really interesting couple.
37:16Helen was really not getting enough attention from him.
37:19She's not getting the romance from him that she wants.
37:21And she was hoping that non-monogamy was a solution to that.
37:24I am happy that they feel that they learned something in this process and they felt that
37:29they had something positive to take away.
37:30After you.
37:32Definitely feel happy we're leaving.
37:34Yeah.
37:34But in a good way.
37:36I spent some more quality time definitely is a big thing.
37:38I definitely, definitely haven't spent enough time with her.
37:40And he's learned.
37:41Yeah.
37:41This has opened my eyes to see that.
37:43I didn't expect Steve just to openly say that he really wishes that he could spend more time
37:50with me.
37:51We've bettered our relationship maybe.
37:53Yeah, I think we have bettered our relationship.
37:55It did make me well up a little bit actually.
37:57You know, because it made me feel that I've got a lot of what I wanted to from this experience.
38:16Tonight, Ellie and KS are going on a social together.
38:20Hey, you look gorgeous.
38:21I'm so good to see you.
38:23Yeah, I thought I'd like to see you.
38:24Oh, you're amazing.
38:25And based on their preference, only women are invited to the party.
38:31I really like your tattoos.
38:32Oh, thank you.
38:33You have your tattoos yourself?
38:35Yeah, I've got a few random ones to be honest.
38:38If anything was going to happen in our relationship, it would be together.
38:42So it's good to experience this with Ellie.
38:45This is the ideal scenario for me, so I'm happy.
38:48I love tattoos.
38:49What's your favourite tattoo that you have?
38:50I would say my favourite one is this one here, because my granddad's from Barbados and he passed away.
38:56I think he's enjoying himself, yeah, talking to the girls, and he wouldn't.
39:00They're looking for someone to invite on a date and potentially have a threesome with.
39:06I just want to get in the pool.
39:07Have you been in the pool at all?
39:08I know.
39:10It's a pool party.
39:11Why are we not all in the pool talking?
39:13Exactly.
39:13I love float.
39:15I like go on my back when I do that as well.
39:17Backstroke.
39:18And all anyone to see is the boobs.
39:20Just two pairs of tits just like gliding.
39:26And it looks like chaos has made a connection with Precious.
39:30We should get in the hot tub is what we need to do.
39:32Have you been in the hot tub?
39:34Save in these two spaces.
39:35I mean, Precious is an attractive woman.
39:39I would say physical attraction was, yeah, it was definitely there.
39:44So, ladies, our lovely couple have made a decision on who they'd like to spend the night with.
39:49Precious.
39:50Hey!
39:52Hi, girl!
39:53Woo!
39:54You, girl!
39:56What attracted me to Precious is that she was just, we had stuff in common, and she was just easy to talk to,
40:00and she's been in an open relationship before, so I think Ellie will definitely feel a little bit of jealousy as that's just her.
40:08Later.
40:09Let's go.
40:10I think if everything goes well, we have a good, you know, couple of drinks, have dinner, the chemistry's there, who knows what could happen.
40:18No, we've never done a joint date, so, you know, that's going to be in itself something new.
40:23Obviously, she's lovely, so that's maybe where, like, jealousy might come in.
40:30Ellie and Chaos came to the retreat to see if they could open their relationship to another woman.
40:44And tonight, they are on a date with Precious.
40:48Oh, you've got a neck tattoo.
40:50Oh, I didn't...
40:51What do your tattoos have any meaning?
40:53Um, it just means I'm a gift, to be fair.
40:56Really?
40:56Fair enough.
40:56I mean, Precious, gift, you know, it's just, it's just that.
41:02Yeah.
41:03I'm excited, a little bit nervous, because I have no idea what to expect, and obviously, it's going to be a bit intimidating at first.
41:10I'd say the best case scenario is that Ellie's comfortable to bring Precious into our relationship.
41:19You're a boob man, aren't you?
41:20I...
41:20I think you like bums, but I think you like big boobs.
41:23I mean, I like both, but if I choose, I would go bum over boobs.
41:28Oh, yeah.
41:29Yeah.
41:29I think the emotions were just running high with me, because I got the feeling that she wanted us to dive in and try more,
41:36but the wobble came from just me not wanting to do anything.
41:41Precious, who's been in multiple open relationships, is worried Ellie might not be entirely comfortable with the situation.
41:49So when a girl kisses, you know, do you go...
41:55Oh, yeah, well, that's never happened.
41:56That hasn't happened, no.
41:57So, if I kissed him, you would get upset?
42:00I don't know.
42:01Oh, you see?
42:02If you asked me...
42:03Yeah, you'd be like, I don't care.
42:04I would be like, dad, okay?
42:05Exactly.
42:06So, like, I don't know.
42:06So you have to be short.
42:07Yeah, exactly.
42:08So then that makes me think, like, I might then, you know...
42:10Then you aren't.
42:11I think I overthink it.
42:13Why are you so reserved about it?
42:14I was scared about it.
42:15I don't know.
42:15Because I feel like...
42:16I feel like I'd get jealous.
42:17Do you think you'd get jealous?
42:18Yeah.
42:19You're stunning, and you seem like you've got your confidence.
42:22Yeah.
42:22Right?
42:22The person who ever kisses your boyfriend is not going to take him away.
42:26He's yours.
42:28She's still insecure about sharing her boyfriend, her partner, with somebody else.
42:34And she's concerned that he will then get more attached to the other person.
42:41Okay, well, I'm going to pop.
42:43I'm going to go, I think.
42:44It's hard to imagine, you know, your partner getting someone on a sexual level.
42:49I don't know what it is.
42:50I feel insecure, like...
42:52I know Ellie was upset, but obviously this is a hard thing to do because we are emotionally
42:58invested in each other.
42:58We love each other.
43:04Last night, Ellie and KS' date ended prematurely.
43:11Hey.
43:11Hey, you all right?
43:12Yeah, you're comfortable.
43:14Now, Dr. Laurie wants to help the couple work through what happened.
43:19How was last night?
43:21Um, I wasn't, like, comfortable with doing, like, things with other people, I guess.
43:28Right.
43:28My insecurities and jealousies, yeah, it was a difficult thing to go through.
43:34If you had to put a name to those insecurities, what are they?
43:38Like, how would you describe them?
43:42Um, like, not feeling good enough.
43:46In general or with him?
43:48No, like, myself.
43:50In yourself.
43:50So when you look at the world, that's how you feel.
43:54Yeah.
43:54So have you compared yourself to other people?
43:58Yeah, definitely, yeah.
44:00And yet, you're a gorgeous woman, right?
44:05And he clearly adores you.
44:08Correct.
44:08Yeah, well, I'm, yeah, and I'm seeing that as well, so.
44:12What's come out of this is that considering opening up and considering non-monogamy has brought
44:17up your feelings of, of not being good enough.
44:20Yeah, you know, it's not, it's not a jealousy.
44:24I don't know, um, it's hard to explain, but.
44:27You're not describing jealousy.
44:29What you're saying is that you end up feeling uncomfortable because you don't feel good enough.
44:33And the fear then is, I'll be replaced.
44:36And so coming here has highlighted that.
44:39Yeah.
44:40So you can actually go away and work on that particular bit.
44:43You know, non-monogamy is, like, difficult.
44:46You're not yet ready to open up.
44:48You're just not there.
44:49Yeah.
44:49You've got work to do on your own.
44:51And as a couple, to be in a place where you will be able to open up and feel strong enough
44:57in the relationship.
44:59It's been wonderful to have you here as our guest.
45:01I've really enjoyed meeting you.
45:03It's been so good meeting you as well.
45:05I think you'll do fine.
45:06Thank you very much.
45:07Cheers.
45:10We're all very good at hiding our vulnerabilities.
45:12And it's only when things are out of our control or out of our comfort zone that these vulnerabilities
45:19surface.
45:20It's really hard to know if non-monogamy will work for you or not until you try it.
45:27We thought we would test, like, just dip our toes in the waters and see what we think of
45:31it.
45:32But speaking about it and then doing it is a completely different thing.
45:36We're so happy that we did it, really.
45:38I think that it's something great that, like, everyone, if they could, like, have a go.
45:44You all right with that?
45:45Yep.
45:45All good.
45:47You got that?
45:48Yes.
45:49There you go.
45:51This process has definitely brought us closer as a couple.
