00:00Okay, now I'm getting bugs.
00:08Thanks.
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.
01:50How are you guys doing? All right?
01:52We're a good-looking couple.
01:54Yeah.
01:55You look lovely.
01:56Very lovely.
01:57Hi, guys. You all right?
01:58Hey!
01:59Come on, lock your shirt. We're almost matching.
02:04Yeah, these guys look fit.
02:05Blonde girl, bit of you.
02:07I'm excited, but nervous.
02:14Oh, I'm nervous now. Yeah. Definitely nervous now.
02:17I'm so excited to be here. I really am. I am like, come on.
02:22Yes, it's throwing Tom in at the deep end, but sometimes I think that's what people need. It'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.
02:41So, me and Tom had been together for about a year.
02:44I 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.
03:06OK.
03:07Do 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.
03:21When your penis doesn't work, it doesn't work.
03:23If it's with another female, like, she thinks she's done something wrong, and it's not that at all, and then that's, for me, game over.
03:35I'm stuck in a rut on the fact that I can't get him up, I can't perform, and it's like, shit, again, I'm feeling a bit, I'm feeling like crap.
03:48I'm curious, does this impact sex with Lauren?
03:50Yeah, it's been a couple of times, there's been in the past, even with Lauren herself, but not multiple times.
03:55I'm more relaxed, I'm more chilled, and I can perform.
03:59When you've attempted to open up with other women, what is the story in your head?
04:05I can't take the top off. I absolutely hate looking at myself.
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.
04:17Then Tom got his heart diagnosis, and, yeah, it had a huge impact, mainly on Tom. It was terrifying.
04:26The doctors basically told me that I had sudden death syndrome, so that means I can drop down and die at any point.
04:32It was so, so scary. He got really down. He 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, and doing all of that, it's basically, well, it just went down the drain.
04:50You have a terrible relationship with your body.
04:54Yeah, definitely. Definitely.
04:56It's like you're not going to get a hard on, because you might be mentally aroused, but you're not physically aroused.
05:03Hey, you're okay? Yeah, I'm good. I wasn't expecting that.
05:16Do you want to tell me what's going through your mind right now?
05:19The fact that I'm just, I've stopped in my path and just let myself go.
05:28So, it feels like there's a lot riding on this, right? Because I feel like your anxiety is getting in the way of you potentially opening up, which is kind of what Lauren wants.
05:40And I imagine you feel the pressure of that.
05:42It's what I want as well.
05:47Lauren, what do you want to achieve? What would be your ideal situation?
05:51I would love to be able to, obviously, couple swap. And also, I've never had more than two men at once, and it's always been a fantasy of mine.
06:01And the same for women as well. But obviously, we need to get to the bottom of whatever this is.
06:08Sure, yeah, no, exactly. Hopefully, 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.
06:18Why don't you kind of let your hair down and relaxed, right?
06:22I would love, Tom, for you to pick some people and invite them to somewhere cozy for a sensual group experience.
06:31This is about sensuality. That's about cuddles and touches.
06:37I want you to focus on one person, and I want you to focus on how the person that you're touching, how you're giving them pleasure through touch and through caressing.
06:47Because I want you to ease into that sexual space without 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 to sex.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Right.
07:10It sounds really exciting.
07:11Yeah, okay.
07:12Beautiful.
07:13Yeah.
07:14Yeah.
07:15Yeah.
07:20Tom has a bit of work to do because his issues are mostly in his head.
07:26So, the exercise today is to get him into the present, feeling what pleasure looks like and to be more embodied.
07:34If you could just think about that he doesn't need a hard penis, it's amazing how quickly one will appear.
07:41Oh.
07:42Wow.
07:43Wow.
07:44I do worry for me and Lauren, because if I can't, if I can't do the whole open relationship, I feel like we go our separate ways.
07:55I'm hoping it won't get to that stage.
07:57Previously on Open House.
07:58Ultimately, why we're here is to bring in another couple, but I've got to be okay with Alex being with another woman.
08:16I'm so scared.
08:19What's at stake is Alana's feelings and emotions.
08:23I've been cheated on quite a lot.
08:25Yeah, I've seen women as more of a threat.
08:27So, we kind of want you to face that threat.
08:30Would you be open to finding a woman for a little sexy threesome?
08:37That scenario wasn't in my head.
08:38I don't want to do it like I want to live.
08:40I don't want to be.
08:42If this is going to work, it has to be the right person.
08:48Who Alex is sitting with now is Georgie.
08:50She'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.
09:22And here you are.
09:25How would you feel if I gave Alex a little kiss?
09:34How do you feel?
09:36I'm okay.
09:37Yeah?
09:44In that moment, watching Alex and Georgie kiss,
09:47I thought, oh, no.
09:48How did that make you feel?
09:49Like, fine.
09:50I was like, yeah, look.
09:51I was like, yeah, look, almost a bit turned on by it.
09:52How did that make you feel?
09:53Like, fine.
09:54I was like, yeah, look.
09:55Almost a bit turned on by it.
09:56I really want you on me.
09:57Can I, like, can I, like, put you on me?
09:58Can I, like, put you on me?
09:59Can I, like, put you on me?
10:00I can't believe this.
10:01I can't believe this.
10:02Are you proud of me?
10:03Yeah.
10:04Like, what the hell?
10:05Like, what the hell?
10:06Yeah.
10:07Yeah.
10:08Yeah.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Yeah.
10:11Yeah.
10:12I can't believe this.
10:13Are you proud of me?
10:14Yeah.
10:15Like, what the hell?
10:16Yeah.
10:17Yeah.
10:18I've never seen a Lana kiss another woman.
10:32I knew it was part of her life, like, long, long ago but to see that, like what, she kind
10:45go but to see that like reopen that door was such a huge turn for me to see that
10:49it was like really hot
10:52oh my god
10:54I'm obsessed
10:56stop it
10:58can we just take you home with us?
11:01well it all flowed very naturally
11:05we've got three weeks
11:06yeah
11:07who the fuck would have thought we would have been here?
11:16I honestly don't know what's happening right now
11:18I feel like this is normal
11:24I think like things are feeling good
11:27do you maybe want to come back to our room?
11:30I would love that
11:32yeah
11:33explore things a little bit more
11:35let's take the next step, we'll do baby steps
11:37let's do it
11:39I didn't think that was going to be a thing at all
11:41to 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
11:53yeah like this has been insane
11:55honestly I can't believe it's such a change
11:58you can't do anything and now
12:00we're inviting
12:02I still have to come back to our room
12:04sorry
12:19oh my god that's show show
12:21I know I did say my ass like eats them
12:23new arrivals Lauren and Tom are preparing for a big night
12:27oh
12:33they'll be attending a sexy barn dance
12:35where they hope to meet residents who could help Tom overcome his physical stumbling block
12:40when it comes to opening up
12:45whenever we've dipped our toes into being open
12:48Tom felt he just couldn't perform felt really uncomfortable
12:54they've been tasked with finding residents interested in joining them for a group experience
13:00where the focus is only on foreplay
13:02and they
13:04what?
13:05I look fucking ridiculous
13:06with no pressure to perform
13:08the hope is Tom will relax and rise to the occasion
13:12I do foresee hurdles
13:14the residents are all very beautiful
13:16the problem with that is obviously Tom being body conscious
13:20if I went in there on my own I think I'd probably walk straight back out
13:34how are you guys feeling?
13:35yeah great
13:36shit scared
13:54this is out of my comfort zone
13:55the heart palpitations I've got right now
13:57are through the room
13:58through the room so what we're gonna do is we're gonna go around and we're gonna
14:05talk to them I feel sick inside okay listen there's no pressure that's what
14:10we're saying let's just give it a really good guys what we're here for first to
14:16meet them are married couple Jem and Daz what are you looking for that's the
14:21question so for me you need I need that conversation yeah and for you it's
14:26obviously just about feeling body confident yeah yeah yeah if there's
14:36any environment where personality matters more than looks it's this
14:40environment we'd love to chat to them and try and help them with their journey
14:45we're really good at reading people's body language and kind of like how they're
15:03feeling you know when someone's nervous and you know when someone's a little bit
15:06scared but when you have that you know responsibility to kind of give them that
15:10first good impression of the lifestyle you want to make it the best I used to
15:14be like we're like really like outgoing going gym seven days used to have like
15:18the abs and I basically come for eat and drink and of course I put on the weight
15:22now so you can just like case and you can like you can go down on them and you can
15:28touch and you don't necessarily just have the build-up but I think it is the
15:31point how you think you've got to go through a natural process
15:34Olivia and Gage they made me feel so like it just felt it just felt natural
15:39just talking to her after a confidence boost from Gage Tom moves on to single
15:45resident Aaron who is no stranger to open conversation
15:50do you have an idea of kind of what you want from the experience basically have
15:55fun relax and try not my hair down to a couple that's coming into the treat that
16:00are 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
16:09a person I'm a single guy I've literally just come out of a relationship with two
16:14women at the same time for two years
16:1750 50 yeah there'll be days and weeks and months where I don't feel like I have
16:23the confidence and I'll go and play and I won't even get hard but that's okay
16:28speaking to and he made it easy for me to basically say I don't need my penis
16:41basically I've got my hands and I got my tongue and I think Lauren really likes
16:45them as well Aaron has given me fanny flutters so I've never had more than two
16:53men at once so my ideal situation would obviously be more men fresh from meeting
17:02Aaron Lauren feels it's time for Tom to start deciding who to invite to their
17:08sensual soiree Aaron because he was on the same page as you and even he doesn't get
17:13hard because I feel like he would understand you as well yeah and made me
17:19feel really at ease he yeah he was absolutely brilliant I'm so scared of the
17:26rejection mainly for Tom rather than for me because is he then gonna be really
17:31nervous going forward a little bit inside that if they say no it'll feel like
17:36shit yeah but no you just have to wait and see and see what happens we just want
17:42to know if you want to come back to him basically just maybe some games and
17:47teasing some cuddling if it escalates escalate yeah it doesn't it doesn't and
17:52that doesn't
17:56okay guys I'm not gonna say that I'm gonna play it's for me at the moment I take a
18:04lot more to get to that point I was surprised by Aaron because he said he
18:11doesn't want to play Aaron without being rude obviously we have to move along
18:15with being not everyone is everyone's cup of tea but for me I don't obviously
18:20want to put Tom off even more with this process it's like rejection I'm just yeah
18:26I'm shot but move all the things of the beds put them all on the here in their
18:39bedroom Alana and Alex are preparing to be joined by resident Georgie are we gonna
18:45be weird and go over you okay if we get protection just in case let's have it on
18:50the side they're hoping that tonight they can take their first steps towards
18:56their ultimate dream of a couple swap by having a threesome I don't know how
19:02this is gonna go seeing Alex being with another woman with where we are now look
19:09I'm definitely open to just seeing how it goes but as much as this is a really big
19:18step for me it's also a really big step for him because he's gonna potentially be
19:23with another woman this is all new and it's starting to feel very real so my
19:30worries going into this is me being with another woman and how that might make
19:34Alana feel I hope that it's the most amazing experience that we could have
19:37but equally it could not be it would be it would be devastating if anything went wrong here for sure
19:55so much better okay cool this is a bit more chill yeah don't mind I'm just gonna pick up the moment
20:03no I like that let's just pick up when we're left though
20:06the 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
21:00Alex retreats to the sideline
21:03I think like I was overwhelmed
21:12it was like from zero to a hundred and it caught me off guard really
21:20well that was like a terrible idea I was I wasn't like
21:24I can't quite match that right now
21:44I've had like the best evening like
22:00I love you so much I loved it I genuinely loved every minute of that there wasn't any part where I thought I feel uncomfortable or like oh I don't know how I feel about this like I love it
22:17I love you so much I loved it I genuinely loved every minute of that there wasn't any part where I thought I feel uncomfortable or like oh I don't know how I feel about this like I literally loved every single second of that
22:31did you enjoy it? did you enjoy it? I loved seeing you like enjoy it? yeah I loved it
22:45I don't always seem to get the wet patch
22:50maybe 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
23:36got up this morning feeling really good about what happened but I could feel there was something a little bit off
23:46what are you thinking about?
23:59I'm just thinking
24:00process
24:01you sure you're okay?
24:06yeah
24:07when we first came in here obviously our aim and our kind of end goal was to be able to do a full couple swap
24:17I knew Alex was in his head a little bit even at home like he can go a bit quieter sometimes but today I just knew there was something kind of underlying
24:30we could do a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of an amazing
24:34explosive
24:35Hello, come in.
24:37Take a seat, take a seat, get comfy.
24:39Yeah, you're right.
24:41How was last night?
24:43Like, I'm really happy.
24:45It just, it felt right.
24:48Beautiful breakthrough.
24:49Absolutely.
24:50I think what I liked is it was actually Georgie
24:54that said, like, would you be okay if I kissed Alex?
24:58She kind of like led it a little bit, which was nice.
25:02I actually enjoyed watching it, which I never thought
25:06those words were going to come out of my mouth.
25:09What are you thinking, Alex?
25:11I don't, I don't know.
25:14I don't want to take away, because I loved last night.
25:16It was incredible.
25:17But I was a little bit, like, overwhelmed
25:22by the whole situation.
25:23Yeah, tell me about that.
25:25I don't know, like, I don't think I was,
25:27I wasn't, like, turned on physically, like,
25:30so that's what I'm confused at the moment about.
25:32Okay, okay, okay.
25:35The couple thing I definitely want to do,
25:37but again, I don't know if I go all the way.
25:38So, that's where, I think that's why I've been quiet
25:42this morning, because I wasn't sure.
25:43For me, there was, like, something missing,
25:45and I don't know what it was.
25:46I feel like maybe I'm more of a connection-based,
25:48like, when it comes to sex.
25:50Mm-hmm.
25:50Like, deep, deeper connections.
25:52Sure.
25:54Intimacy?
25:55Is that what you're seeking?
25:56Like, intimacy to go with your sexual experience?
25:59I do find it better if there's a connection,
26:03and that's where I am right now.
26:04Like, I'm trying to figure that out.
26:07The thing that I want to understand is,
26:09how do you feel about that?
26:11Um, I don't feel comfortable with that.
26:20Sure.
26:21Now, like, I do see that as threatening.
26:24Like, what if you build, like,
26:27this really great connection with someone else
26:29that you then feel is, like, better?
26:35That's never, ever going to be the thing.
26:40You okay?
26:40Yeah.
26:43It's okay.
26:46You're really challenging some of the things
26:47that you're the most afraid of,
26:48and stuff is coming up.
26:49Like, that's all about that.
26:53So, that's scary to you right now.
26:54So, let's just look at it in the face.
26:56Tell me, what do you mean by connection?
26:59Let's just, like...
26:59I think it's definitely not, like,
27:02deep connection with what I have with you.
27:04It's a lot less than that.
27:06It's more familiarization.
27:08Like, you almost want to be friends
27:09with that person before it...
27:10Okay.
27:11I've never been, like, a one-night guy.
27:15If you know what I mean?
27:15To be fair, like, yeah,
27:16even we didn't sleep together, like, straight away.
27:19Mm.
27:20So, I get that.
27:21I know that's not necessarily, like, how you work.
27:24Mm-hmm.
27:26So, what would that look for you
27:28in terms of you guys dating couples?
27:29Like, do you want to have, like,
27:30one couple friend that you...
27:34date and play with?
27:36Or do you sort of meet a bunch of couples?
27:40Like, what does that look like for you?
27:41We did say, like, it would be nice to have, like,
27:44one couple that we're, like, best friends with.
27:46Mm-hmm.
27:47And we get on really well with them
27:48and, like, play together as well.
27:50Mm-hmm.
27:51So, what I have in mind is I want you to have a taste
27:55of the couple experience that you want.
27:59But I feel like the next challenge for you
28:01is to navigate the connection piece,
28:03for you to actually go there and start making a connection,
28:06and for you to feel, like, to figure out what it feels like
28:09when it's happening, and spend a bit of time
28:10connecting with the couple.
28:12And then, once you feel like you have a connection in place,
28:16then you can escalate things in your own time
28:19and take it from there and you see how it goes for you.
28:21How does that sound?
28:22No, that sounds good.
28:24You happy?
28:25Good.
28:25I'm fine with that. Are you definitely fine?
28:27Yeah, I feel relaxed.
28:28OK.
28:29I think that the biggest thing on my chest
28:31was what we've spoken about now.
28:33That was, like, just something I needed to understand.
28:39You're welcome. You're welcome. Enjoy.
28:46I'm excited to meet some couples today.
28:51But this moment, I don't know if I can go all the way.
28:56We'll have to see.
28:59We love each other, right?
29:02Yeah, we do.
29:14At the sexy barn dance, Lauren and Tom are coming to terms
29:18with being rejected by resident Aaron.
29:25Let your hair down.
29:27Let my hair down.
29:27I'm going to make you like that.
29:29I'm not lying dancing.
29:30That is not happening.
29:43Oh, my God.
29:47I used to do quite a lot of dancing with Lauren.
29:49It's what I used to really enjoy.
29:51So I felt a lot more comfortable, yeah.
30:00When I was around Tom, we had a little mini dance battle.
30:03Yeah.
30:03And, like, the fact that he was just
30:04bussing out the robot and, like, just having so much fun with it.
30:07And I was like, let's do this.
30:08Let's do that.
30:09And he was just like, yeah, let's do it.
30:10Look at the last.
30:17I'm buzzing.
30:17I'm literally buzzing from how happy he is.
30:19He's so relaxed now.
30:28Rejection behind them, thoughts return to their objective,
30:32finding residents for a sensual after-party.
30:35I feel a lot more comfortable, yeah.
30:37So I think it's a lot more easier to invite people
30:40and to see if they say yes or no.
30:41You lead the way.
30:43Well, hello, well, welcome to my friends.
30:57Hello.
30:57I'm your shirt for tonight.
30:59Have you guys been enjoying yourself?
31:00Yeah, you might.
31:02But it was basically, we're just wondering if, um,
31:04if you'd like to be, to, like, come back with us
31:07and just basically cuddle, kiss, touch.
31:13Well, I'm ready whenever you guys are.
31:15I'll be at the bar.
31:16I wasn't expecting that.
31:17I wasn't expecting the fact that I was actually
31:19waiting for a no.
31:21As Tom's confidence grows.
31:24And I was just wondering if you guys want to come back.
31:26Yeah.
31:27Yeah.
31:27Yeah, we'll come.
31:28Oh, wow.
31:29Yeah, we'll do this, yeah.
31:30Wow.
31:30So does the after-party.
31:32Wondering if you want to come.
31:35Yes.
31:35I love that, that's quick.
31:37That's so easy, thank you.
31:40And the guest list swells to five.
31:43We were pleasantly surprised.
31:45And it actually feels kind of, like, nice, like, feeling,
31:48I know it sounds weird, but wanted.
31:51I would say I'm definitely attracted to him, for sure.
31:54They're a vibe, 100%.
31:56I'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 to attempt to help Tom overcome his performance anxiety
32:11and successfully open up.
32:15We're basically, we'll go back to the bedroom and basically see what happens.
32:21I'm not promising anything.
32:22I've still got them hurdles, I've still got them body confidence and all that.
32:26The worst thing that can happen is going into shock and walking out.
32:43Having been in two minds as to whether he's ready to open up,
32:46Alex has agreed to try to make connections with couples.
32:53Oh, this looks so cute.
32:54We're just looking for, like, good vibes.
32:58Obviously, going into the couple scenario is slightly different,
33:01because it's both of us have got to have an attraction to two different people then.
33:08We'll see, you know, if it's the right people, then it'll be there.
33:16Hello.
33:17Hello.
33:17I'm Joe.
33:19Joe, lovely to meet you.
33:20You're lovely to meet me.
33:20How are you doing?
33:20You all right?
33:21How's it going?
33:21Was it just on the walk in?
33:22Literally on the walk in.
33:23Both Alex and Alana really want to get to know them, don't we?
33:28Yeah, they're definitely good looking.
33:29They're super hot.
33:29Who was 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 is where we were looking at.
33:46The hardest part was obviously for me to kind of get over, like, insecurities with
33:51having another female, like, being physical and, like, smash that on the first note.
33:56So we're like, yay!
34:01One thing I'd say is, oh, I'll do threesomes is easiest.
34:03You guys have actually done probably one of the harder things.
34:05Like, foursomes are sort of easier because everyone's got something to do.
34:08Hi, I'm Alana.
34:12Hi, Alana. Lovely to meet you.
34:15Good to meet you.
34:18Today, tonight, you're looking for a couple swap?
34:20Yeah.
34:21Just trying to, like, find our way into it, though.
34:23We're definitely looking at the space.
34:24It's just finding our, like, place.
34:26Big thing letting someone else into your relationship.
34:30But it's nice because, like you say, everyone's, like, scenarios are different.
34:35Well, it's about you guys. That's the thing. It's like, you're not here to please someone else.
34:39Yeah.
34:39It's what's best for you.
34:41I didn't know how I was going to feel about it.
34:44Yeah.
34:45But actually, like, I shocked everyone. Ended up being absolutely fine with it.
34:51Alex and Alana were quite attractive, actually. There was definitely a vibe there.
34:56I think we'd definitely be into them if they wanted to kind of spend a bit more time with us.
35:01Can I go for a chat?
35:05Yes.
35:10All right.
35:12Tea.
35:19How have you found it?
35:19Um, like, it's been nice to speak to couples today.
35:25Like, obviously, that was what we wanted to do.
35:28For me, I feel like, um, Jem and Daz, I just feel like they would be, like, a really great couple to get to know.
35:35I feel like they've got a similar vibe to us.
35:39How are you feeling? Is there anyone that you felt like, might have had a connection with?
35:44I've, like, um, honestly, at the moment, I just don't know right now if I can go any further.
36:00I don't know.
36:05Okay.
36:07How do you, how are you feeling about that?
36:10Um, yeah, like, I'm a little bit surprised.
36:14Um, what is it that's making you feel that way?
36:20Is it that you don't feel like you want to go any further at all?
36:24Or do you feel like it's just maybe been a little bit too much too soon?
36:29Like, it's just got a bit overwhelming?
36:31Uh, mate, I don't know, like, it's more of a me thing this now.
36:43Like, for now, that's as far as I can go.
36:47You've hit, like, a bit of a wall with it.
36:48Yeah.
36:49Okay.
36:53I do want to revisit this.
36:54Okay.
36:57Okay.
36:58That makes me happy.
37:01Okay.
37:10With Alex unable to continue, the couple's stay at the retreat has come to an end.
37:21Going forward, I do think open up the relationship is for me and Alana, but it's going to take time.
37:28It will take more time for me.
37:31I don't know, I feel, like, emotional now.
37:36I don't know, I feel, like, emotional now.
37:49I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, it's just the whole thing's like, just very overwhelming,
38:02I don't know, isn't it?
38:03I don't know, like, I don't know, like, I don't know what to say.
38:09It's just like a very emotional few days, isn't it?
38:15It's just like a very emotional few days, isn't it?
38:19I think the future will, like, the future will be a full open relationship, but at the moment, it's baby steps still.
38:30Right house.
38:31It's just been a very overwhelming process, but I don't want to keep crying, but, like, I'm actually really proud of myself.
38:42Opening up our relationship is a lot harder than I first thought, like, I 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 not easy, but, like, we've absolutely got the ability to do it.
38:59I absolutely love you to pieces, and I'm happy and glad, and I love you so much.
39:04I love you so much.
39:16Just goes to show that you're saying that you haven't got it, however, if 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, it doesn't mean, like, you know, they see me and go, actually, no, what the fuck is that?
39:38It's what goes to my head.
39:40I know.
39:41So that's why we're going to go take it one step at a time.
39:45OK?
39:46Yeah.
39:48No pressure.
39:49They hope that by focusing on touch and foreplay, Tom will manage to get an erection, a stumbling block that's stopping the couple from opening up.
39:59I'm hoping to leave here knowing the fact that I don't have to worry about, um, for my dick not to hug.
40:08Oh!
40:09Oh, wow!
40:10Look at it!
40:11Hey!
40:12Hey!
40:13Oh, I'm interested.
40:14Oh, isn't it?
40:15Yeah!
40:16Oh!
40:18Oh, wow!
40:20Look at me!
40:22Oh, I can't sleep.
40:26Isn't it?
40:28Fuck it!
40:32Yeah, I don't quite know how I'm feeling right now.
40:34I'm feeling shocked, to be fair.
40:36My biggest concern is obviously making sure Tom is comfortable
40:40because I will get naked and run around.
40:42Like, I am the complete opposite of Tom.
40:46I know I want to be open, and I'm not planning on changing that.
40:53I'm not the person that struggles with this lifestyle,
40:56and it's Tom that is.
40:58Should we make the lighting a little bit more sexy, guys?
41:01Oh, yeah, let's do it!
41:03Yeah.
41:04Put a blindfold on, and...
41:07Nice, nice, nice.
41:09Is there any areas that you genuinely want us to avoid?
41:12It's basically just taking a top off, aren't you?
41:15It feels weird that I can't see you, but...
41:18Mm-hmm.
41:20I definitely want to make Lauren happy.
41:22We'll try anything.
41:24Like, jump this hurdle, basically.
41:26But once it's in my head, I can't afford...
41:30I freeze.
41:31Once I'm in that rut, I can't get out of the rut.
41:34How are you feeling, mate?
41:37It's weird, but...
41:38You're getting worshipped.
41:39You're getting all the attention.
41:41This is my favourite thing.
41:45Despite Effie's advice to actively engage in foreplay,
41:49Tom lets the ladies lead.
41:51Start a step, but it gets a bit too overwhelming.
41:54It was putting shivers down my spine.
42:10I can feel everything.
42:20I feel absolutely petrified and sick.
42:28Next time on Open House...
42:30Are you ready for the next level?
42:35I feel absolutely petrified.
42:38Yeah.
42:40Is it okay to kiss?
42:43It's two guys!
42:45Back in the rut!
42:47I have identified as gay.
42:49Today, I don't know.
42:52I've been feeling very naughty.
42:55Never had any experience with gay men before.
42:59The worst case scenario would be...
