00:00It's a complete mystery, the whole thing. This is it. We don't know what to expect.
00:03These curious couples are about to find out.
00:06Oh, that is gorgeous.
00:08They're traveling to a unique retreat.
00:10Hello, you all right?
00:12Where, with the help of a specialist relationship therapist...
00:16Life is short. Why limit sex to just one person?
00:21And a group of single, available, and sexually liberated residents...
00:26It's just natural to have sex with multiple people.
00:31They're about to discover if their sexual fantasies...
00:35Oh, jeez!
00:37...can become a reality.
00:39We like the idea of group sex.
00:42We were just wondering if you'd like to spend the night with us.
00:44...and whether or not they'll be able to break one of society's greatest taboos...
00:49I should have been thinking about the man that I love and how he was feeling.
00:54...and have sex with other people.
00:58Oh, my God!
01:00Wow, I was not expecting that.
01:03This is the most up my comfort zone I've ever been.
01:15I'm nervous.
01:17Yeah.
01:18I've got butterflies.
01:19How are you feeling?
01:21Yeah, buzzing.
01:21Checking into the retreat are Ellie and Chaos, whose love affair began online.
01:27When I first saw Ellie, she was wearing these very small shorts and her bum was, like, kind of hanging out.
01:33Oi! Oi!
01:34It was a very hot day, so...
01:36You ready to have fun, Ellie?
01:37Yeah.
01:39Can't wait.
01:40Chaos was quick to take the relationship to the next level.
01:44I prepared this video.
01:46Will you be my girlfriend?
01:47Then it went viral.
01:49I went bright red.
01:51I went literally the shade of a tomato.
01:53And all the comments were saying about how...
01:55Tomatoes were like...
01:56Yeah.
01:57Sit!
01:58As a professional GB athlete, Chaos knows how to stay cool under pressure.
02:04I'm just a really chilled and laid-back person.
02:07I have complete trust in Ellie and what she does, so I have nothing to worry or be jealous of her.
02:13And being super fit helps him keep up in the bedroom.
02:17We do do it, like, well, every day.
02:20The chemistry is good, so we're quite adventurous.
02:24Top notch.
02:24I would probably say that I have a very high, like, sex drive, and, yeah, it's hard to find someone that matches that.
02:33Now the couple want to find out if opening up their relationship, starting with a threesome, will help them keep the spark alive.
02:41I'd say the honeymoon period is over, but we're still very much so attracted to each other.
02:47I do think it's a bit naive to think that you can be with one person for your entire life.
02:52Can we see her?
02:54Yes.
02:55Oh, my God.
02:57How are you doing?
02:58Here to welcome them are hosts Jess and Tom, who are in a long-term open relationship themselves.
03:04How are you feeling?
03:06Very excited to see what's to come, yeah.
03:09Hello.
03:09Hello, everyone.
03:10Hi, everyone.
03:12Now, Kea.
03:13Nice to meet you.
03:14Nice to meet you.
03:15God, you look so good.
03:16Yeah.
03:17Intimacy therapist Dr. Laurie Beth wants to help the couple take their first steps into non-monogamy.
03:27Hey, grab a chair.
03:29It's good to meet you, too.
03:30So why don't you tell me what has brought you here?
03:34We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to have a threesome.
03:37Yep.
03:38Seeing Ellie, for example, kiss another girl or anything like that, I'm attracted to that, so...
03:44I think that's Kea's ideal scenario.
03:45I mean, that's kind of every guy's dream, let's be honest, right?
03:50What do you think other people might bring to your relationship?
03:53I mean, more fun, I guess.
03:54Yeah, I guess.
03:55Yeah, okay.
03:55Yeah.
03:56More fun.
03:57Yeah.
03:57So where are you in your sexuality?
04:00I've always said I don't really label things and never consider myself as straight or bisexual.
04:05I've always had attraction to both sexes, so that's really how I feel.
04:10So opportunities are structured with that in mind?
04:12Yes, yeah.
04:15What is jealousy like for you?
04:17I've never been jealous in my life, really.
04:19I mean, I've nothing.
04:20I don't know how...
04:21Like, there's nothing that will make Kea's jealous, he says, so that's interesting.
04:25Not that I know of, then.
04:26Yeah, exactly.
04:27Thank you, but nothing that comes to mind.
04:29What's jealousy like for you?
04:31Slightly a bit jealous.
04:32I mean, it would be strange not to be.
04:33I don't think that he would ever do anything behind my back, so I do fully trust him in
04:38that way, but I can be a little bit jealous.
04:42Okay, so before you date together, Ellie, I want you to go on a social alone.
04:48I want you to explore your bisexuality on your own first, without Kea's there, so you
04:54don't have to worry about jealousy.
04:56You'll have the opportunity to meet someone, spend the night with them, and lay the groundwork
05:01for a threesome.
05:02Yeah, that sounds good to me.
05:04Cool.
05:05It's hard to predict how someone will react seeing their partner give or receive pleasure
05:10from another.
05:11She's not actually sure she might get jealous seeing him with another woman.
05:15It can be fine one minute, and absolutely not fine the next.
05:20We're going to go away and have socials, so mine's tonight.
05:25That's what's got my nerves going, but I guess I'm excited as well.
05:29Give me a heart.
05:32We're going to throw ourselves into it, I think.
05:37Give it 100%, see what it's about.
05:39Yeah, and have fun with it.
05:40The couple have only just arrived at the retreat, and one of them has already made a big impression
05:48on the residence.
05:50When Ellie came in, yeah, she was so confident, I was just like, I didn't even care about the
05:55car, I was just looking at her like, you said.
05:56That's what I said.
05:56Oh, she looked classy as well.
05:57Very.
05:58She is bisexual.
05:59Oh, she is bisexual.
06:00Yeah.
06:00Oh, okay, cool.
06:01And he's straight.
06:02There's a lot of girls that are okay with getting with a girl, but wouldn't want the guy to have
06:06sex with her?
06:07Girl, yeah.
06:08So they'll be having fun, and he can just watch?
06:10Watch.
06:10Yeah.
06:14Are you scared?
06:16A little bit.
06:16Next to check into this exclusive retreat are couple Helen and Steve from Dorset.
06:23My first impression of Steve, I thought he was Jack the Lad.
06:28Remember, you sent me a picture of a bed at a hotel, a four-poster bed, saying, are we
06:33going to hang out?
06:34I thought, who does this man think he is?
06:37She had a lovely smile, but it was her arse.
06:39She had a very nice bum.
06:42I didn't fall in love with him.
06:44He irritated me.
06:45He would contact me about three times a year on Facebook.
06:49All right, babe, when are we going to get married then?
06:52And then my house burned down, and he offered to help.
06:56And I don't know.
06:57I kind of really fancied him with his brush, painting my walls.
07:00And now she drives a Range Rover Sport.
07:02What a life.
07:03I mean.
07:04Well, Kusty, you couldn't go wrong meeting me, babe, could you?
07:07Wow.
07:08Oh, look at the river.
07:09Look at the size of that lake as well, look.
07:11Don't have too many drinks, Steve.
07:12You'll be skinny dipping in there.
07:13Damn right I will.
07:14The couple have been together for four years and have a one-year-old child.
07:20My daughter is my baby girl.
07:22My pride and joy.
07:24And she make anyone broody?
07:26Broody, does that mean horny?
07:27No.
07:29He's funny with words.
07:30He doesn't get them all.
07:31Helen and Steve have no complaints between the sheets.
07:35I'd rate Steve 9 out of 10 in the bedroom.
07:40This tongue is better than anything you get at Ann Summers.
07:43Ann Summers has got nothing on my tongue.
07:46That's fair.
07:47It's true, don't it?
07:47Yeah, that's fair.
07:48Oh my gosh, the size of that.
07:52Steve and Helen are here to explore if being in an open relationship with other people can make them stronger as a couple.
08:00Here we are.
08:01Let's go.
08:02It's an opportunity to discover what we both really, truly want.
08:06I think this will make a huge difference to our relationship.
08:11Wow, pretty, isn't it?
08:12I'm excited about going on this journey.
08:14It's definitely an eye-opener.
08:15Hey, guys.
08:19It's nice to meet you.
08:21I'm going to give you a hug.
08:22How are you doing, mate?
08:23You all right?
08:24Yeah, really good, mate.
08:25Smart hat, that, isn't it?
08:26Nice to meet you, Jess.
08:27How are you doing?
08:27Welcome to the house.
08:30Take you on a tour around the place, yeah?
08:32Yeah, I'd say I do this way.
08:33Oh, yeah, you all right?
08:34Good, thank you.
08:35Nice to meet you.
08:40There's a steam.
08:41He's got thrown in the deep end.
08:43Obviously, with letting them, it's quite hard.
08:45Yeah, I might feel a little bit uneasy,
08:47him going on a date with someone else.
08:49So, yeah, cross that bridge when I come into it.
08:58You've got to get me some sexy outfit.
09:01Ellie and Chaos are hoping to bring another woman
09:03into their relationship.
09:05But before they date as a couple...
09:07I mean, I'm no fashion expert, but...
09:11I think it goes.
09:12Dr. Laurie wants Ellie to explore her bisexuality
09:16without having to manage her jealousy,
09:19so she's going on a solo social.
09:21Being a little bitch right now.
09:23You need to have it a little bit up.
09:25No, like, point.
09:26Yeah, like that.
09:26Oh.
09:28And that's better.
09:29I love staring at a palette.
09:30If she makes a connection with someone,
09:34she'll have the opportunity to invite them
09:36to spend the night with her.
09:37It is amazing that I'm finally kind of getting to explore this
09:42when I'm in a relationship with Chaos.
09:44It's going to be a great experience.
09:45Yeah.
09:46Sexy, yes.
09:48I think she's going to enjoy herself,
09:50and I look forward to hearing all the gossip about it.
09:53Yeah, you look good.
09:55Fun.
09:55Looking good as well.
09:56Does it look good?
09:57Yeah.
09:58I'm excited to get to know new people and have fun.
10:01I'm taking it as it comes,
10:02so we'll have to wait and see what is in store.
10:05Have fun.
10:06What?
10:07No.
10:08See you tomorrow.
10:09I'll see you tomorrow.
10:10Love you too.
10:17Tonight, Ellie has a chance to socialize
10:20at a party where all the guests share a belief
10:22in the benefits of non-monogamy.
10:25Hi.
10:26Hello.
10:27You okay?
10:28Good.
10:28Nice to see you again.
10:29Nice to see you too.
10:31Host Jess is on hand to make sure things run smoothly.
10:35I wanted to introduce you to Ellie.
10:37So have you been having a good day?
10:39Yeah?
10:40So, I mean, we're throwing the D-pad.
10:41I don't know what to expect.
10:43I really don't know.
10:44It would be nice to find out their expectations as well.
10:47I don't know whether they'd find me attractive.
10:51Do you have, like, a relationship with a girl?
10:52No.
10:53Have any of you?
10:54No.
10:55No.
10:55I have.
10:57Yeah?
10:58How was that?
11:00Chaos is quite comfortable for me to get with a girl
11:02because he obviously finds that attracted to him.
11:06Hi, ladies.
11:07But he doesn't find it with men, so he wouldn't want me to do that.
11:11What are you?
11:12Sagittarius.
11:12Okay.
11:13Yeah, I'm cancer.
11:14Okay, yeah.
11:15So...
11:15Chaos and Leo.
11:17Oh, really?
11:18My ex was Leo.
11:20Oh.
11:20Yeah, so...
11:21We're picking the same ones as well.
11:24Aries and Leo, they're, like, the ones I've always been, like, romantically involved with.
11:28So big.
11:29So big.
11:29Yeah.
11:30Yeah, like, literally know what other signs put them.
11:32Me being Aries in case.
11:34I know, it's really right.
11:35I'm the best of you.
11:37How long have you two been together for?
11:39A year.
11:40Oh, okay.
11:40Like, we...
11:41We were dating before that.
11:43Oh, okay.
11:43And we were pretty much exclusive when we were dating, so it's been more than a year.
11:46Yeah, but efficient.
11:47Yeah.
11:47A year.
11:48Yeah.
11:49Well, our anniversary is on the 27th of this month.
11:51Oh, okay.
11:52So soon.
11:52Do you have any fit now?
11:54Oh, no, not yet.
11:55A threesome.
11:56Yeah!
11:57A threesome!
11:57Don't!
11:58That's what he wanted for his birthday.
11:59Oh, of course he did.
12:01Oh, Grace, he's available on the 27th.
12:03Yeah.
12:03Oh, you know, I'm happy to have it as well.
12:07Cheers, baby.
12:09Cheers.
12:09To help Ellie get comfortable with non-monogamy, the residents have arranged a game of spin the bottle.
12:16That's you.
12:17That is 100% you, girl.
12:19Whee!
12:21Kissing someone else while in a committed relationship is a first for Ellie.
12:27I'm nervous because I feel like it's all eyes on me, so that makes me very nervous.
12:33Oh, let's go on, let's go.
12:38Literally.
12:38It's easy because we're so next to each other.
12:40Exactly.
12:42Whee!
12:43Yay!
12:44Yes!
12:44Yes, ladies!
12:46That was really cute.
12:47Yeah, you've got very nice lips.
12:49Oh, thank you.
12:50For me, kissing the girls, there's no feelings involved.
12:54Yay!
12:56It's just a game.
12:58Like, just have fun with it.
12:59Game over.
13:07Ellie's decided she would like to spend time alone with one of the residents.
13:12With girls, it's harder to choose.
13:14They're all so lovely, and I didn't get to kiss Gracie.
13:18And obviously, she's, like, so pretty.
13:20And I chose Gracie.
13:22Yay!
13:22Yay!
13:23Yay!
13:23Yay!
13:23Don't make me laugh!
13:25Yay!
13:26For Ellie, the date is an opportunity to lay the groundwork for a threesome before boyfriend
13:33Chaos gets involved.
13:34Her vibe is great.
13:36Like, she seems really fun.
13:38I do fancy Ellie, yeah.
13:39She is really, really sweet.
13:41She's definitely my type.
13:42So, yeah, I think me and Ellie got on really, really well.
13:45And the girls could see it as well.
13:46So, that's also a good sign.
13:50It definitely makes me nervous, but I just take it step by step.
13:55And, you know, if you're comfortable with it, then just have fun with it.
13:58MUSIC PLAYS
14:07ELLIE
14:09Ellie is on a date without Chaos before the couple trial opening up their relationship together.
14:16Would you like to do the honors?
14:18Yeah, you first, darling.
14:21Oh, adorable.
14:22This is cute.
14:23This is literally like glamping.
14:25It is, isn't it?
14:25And she's invited Grace to spend some one-on-one time with her.
14:29I'm going to take my heels off.
14:31Please, get comfortable.
14:33Cheers.
14:34Chin-chin.
14:35This is obviously my first time on a date with a girl,
14:38so that is really exciting.
14:40And, like, I can't wait to explore that side of my sexuality.
14:44I guess you're, like, open to getting to, like, know me
14:47and, I mean, KS as well.
14:49Yeah.
14:50You'd be happy to, like, have a relationship with someone
14:52who's in a relationship or be involved in their relationship.
14:55Like, yeah, either way.
14:57Like, because it would be me coming to, like, your two's relationship,
15:02whatever works best for you two.
15:05While Ellie and Grace get to know each other more intimately,
15:09KS is keeping himself busy.
15:12I would like to think she's having a good time.
15:16And I'll find out tomorrow.
15:19I feel a little good, just work out, just tie myself out.
15:22But the only thing is there's loads of wasps in here,
15:26and bugs are a big no-no for me.
15:30Oh, fucking spiders.
15:32So I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight in this room
15:34knowing there's two wasps flying around.
15:39Back in the yurt, the girls have found a game to play.
15:43Shall we try these dices out?
15:44Yeah, you want to?
15:45Okay, so you're my lover.
15:50Okay, cool.
15:51So you've got to lick me.
15:53Where do you want to?
15:53Are you having me to lick you?
15:55Are you having me to lick you?
15:57Okay, I'll just let you be a surprise.
16:06That was nice.
16:07That was nice.
16:07And that's actually, like, one of my spots,
16:09so I was like, ah!
16:11Okay, so, okay, cool.
16:13I threw myself into it and, like,
16:16tried to see whether I could develop, like,
16:18a deeper connection.
16:20Okay, my turn.
16:23Massage.
16:24Oh, my God, yes!
16:25Yeah!
16:28You look very, very, very soft skin.
16:30Yeah, it's very nice.
16:33It's so good.
16:35Amazing!
16:36Okay, well, clearly it was just kiss my boobs,
16:38so feel free to boob kiss kiss my boobs.
16:42Yeah, well, I'll give it a little...
16:47Loved it.
16:48Yeah?
16:49Yeah.
16:53Before I turn the light off,
16:55do you want to have a little kiss?
16:58Yeah?
16:59I just feel like, you know,
17:02it would have been so much tonight.
17:04It was quite a new experience,
17:06so maybe, I don't know,
17:07maybe I was just a bit nervous.
17:08Kind of hard for me
17:10when I already have an emotional connection
17:12with someone else in a relationship.
17:24Committed couple Helen and Steve
17:26have come to the retreat
17:27to explore opening up their relationship
17:29to other sexual partners.
17:31Hey, guys.
17:32Hello.
17:33Come on in and sit down.
17:34Dr. Laurie is on hand
17:35to help the couple brave
17:37their first few steps
17:38into non-monogamy.
17:40So, what brought you here now?
17:44I want to date other people,
17:46have a connection with someone.
17:48You're the driving force.
17:49Would that be a fair thing to say?
17:51Would you say me?
17:52Yeah, definitely.
17:53On this experience,
17:55I've pushed this a little bit more
17:56because I want Steve
17:58to recognise things
17:59that are important
18:00in a relationship
18:01because there's a lot of things
18:03that we don't do together.
18:05What's the romance like
18:06in your relationship?
18:08Steve's very, very busy
18:09all the time.
18:10You know, I'm a busy person too.
18:13We don't have a massive amount
18:14of time for each other.
18:16If romantic is nice,
18:18I could write you a list.
18:19I'm always nice to her like that.
18:20I'm just that sort of guy.
18:22Isn't it?
18:22That's not romantic, though, is it?
18:24Romance is whining and donning someone
18:25and taking them out.
18:26We've not been for a date yet.
18:27I'll check you on the back
18:28of my jet ski.
18:29Steve, do you have any ideas
18:30of things that you would like to do?
18:32I don't think I could just meet someone
18:33and just jump into a bed with them.
18:36I think they'd have to get
18:37to know the people more.
18:38Consensual non-monogamy
18:39takes lots of different forms.
18:41This gives you the opportunity
18:42to see how different things feel
18:43and to challenge some of your boundaries
18:46that come from monogamy.
18:48We've got quite a good relationship
18:49with sort of, you know,
18:51we don't have the insecurities,
18:53either then.
18:55You love me, don't you?
18:56Of course, babe.
18:56Oh, there you go.
18:57Well, that was a pretty quick response.
19:01So tonight,
19:02you're each going to go on a social,
19:04spending the nights separately.
19:07Then you're each going to have
19:08the opportunity to choose
19:09somebody to spend
19:10one-to-one time with.
19:12You don't have to do anything,
19:14but I'm encouraging you
19:15to push out the boat
19:16a little bit.
19:18Yeah, lovely.
19:19Come on then, Steve.
19:21Nice to meet you.
19:22See you later on.
19:22You too.
19:26This is a really interesting couple.
19:29I suspect that there's
19:30an emotional void in Helen
19:32that is really driving
19:33this whole thing.
19:34But I'm not sure that meeting
19:35and potentially having sex
19:37with other people
19:38is going to fill that void.
19:41I'm really curious to see
19:43how they do on their socials.
19:45That's so nice, isn't it?
19:47Yeah.
19:47Oh, that's so nice.
19:51So where do you find yourself
19:53at with this?
19:54I don't know.
19:55I think...
19:56I don't know.
19:57It's very hard, Steve.
19:59Isn't it?
20:00Yeah.
20:01I am looking forward
20:02to my social.
20:03It's a good bunch of people.
20:04It'd be good to get out
20:05and enjoy the company
20:06and see where it takes us.
20:07I just plan to have some fun.
20:09But Steve is considering
20:11the potential risks.
20:13I wouldn't mind being game
20:15and experimenting and that.
20:16Would you let me go
20:17and bang...
20:17Sorry, sleep with one...
20:19Would you let me go
20:20and sleep with one of these women
20:21just to go on a trial
20:22just to see what I was like?
20:24It's not a laughing matter,
20:25this really.
20:26This is very serious decisions, Helen.
20:28All right, put the whip down.
20:30Last night,
20:38Ellie went on her first-ever date
20:40with a girl.
20:42Hello.
20:43Hello, stranger.
20:44While boyfriend Chaos
20:45spent the night alone.
20:47Yeah, I think Gracie's really attractive.
20:49She has, like, such a nice smile
20:50and, like, her skin is so good.
20:52I love her freckles,
20:53her hair, everything.
20:55But it's not that
20:56I really want to rip your clothes off
20:58kind of thing.
20:59I was, like, nervous
21:00to see my own boyfriend.
21:02Are they new?
21:03No, they're Gracie's.
21:08So, tell me about the mic.
21:10What was your...
21:10No, what did you do?
21:11No, I'll tell you...
21:11You tell yours.
21:13Well...
21:15We played Spin the Bowl.
21:17Yeah.
21:17So I kissed Kelsey
21:18and Chanel.
21:19When Ellie told me that she was
21:22kissing multiple girls
21:23doing Spin the Bottle,
21:24I thought that was quite hot,
21:26to be honest.
21:26I mean, who wouldn't?
21:27I think that's...
21:28For me, that's a turn-on.
21:30So I've got...
21:31Yeah, I'm all for that.
21:32Then Gracie.
21:34And we went to a yurt.
21:37I ended up licking her neck.
21:38I mean, she licked my neck.
21:40And I, like, kissed her boob.
21:43You say you had quite a fun night, then.
21:45Tonight, the couple will have the chance
21:47to invite someone on a date together,
21:50in the hope of having a threesome
21:51for the first time.
21:53I just don't know how much
21:54about you going and kissing people.
21:57Well, you know it's gonna...
21:59That something like that
21:59is gonna happen.
22:00You don't know.
22:01Yeah, but you obviously
22:02don't have to.
22:05No, but...
22:06I'm gonna be nervous
22:07and maybe...
22:08Maybe jealous.
22:09I don't know.
22:10For me, him kissing girls,
22:12that's definitely tip-toeing
22:13on, like, boundaries.
22:22I've got my hairband on.
22:25Helen and Steve
22:26are getting ready
22:27for separate socials.
22:29Got chicken legs at a minute.
22:30Dr. Laurie wants them
22:31to try and make a connection
22:33with someone
22:33and then invite them
22:34to spend some time together
22:36alone on a date.
22:38My expectations are
22:40to have fun
22:41and go on dates
22:42with a couple of people.
22:43It will be nice.
22:44The social will be an opportunity
22:46for Helen to experience romance,
22:49something she thinks
22:50her relationship lacks.
22:52Remember Christmas Eve?
22:53I wanted us to wear
22:54Christmas pyjamas
22:55and watch a movie together
22:56and you were at the pub.
22:58Yeah.
22:59Christmas, innit?
22:59That's when you go out?
23:00Christmas, innit?
23:00No, family time.
23:01Family time.
23:03I'm out of here.
23:04I'll have fun.
23:06Love you.
23:07The retreat's sexually
23:17liberated residents
23:18are ready to welcome
23:20the couple.
23:21So thank you.
23:22Hello.
23:24I'm good, thank you.
23:25Nice to see you.
23:26You look stunning.
23:27I'm pretty stressed.
23:29Steve.
23:30How you doing,
23:31tell me, you all right?
23:31How you doing, man?
23:32You get many parties like this,
23:33do you actually?
23:33No, absolutely not.
23:37Hello.
23:38How you doing?
23:38You all right?
23:39How you doing?
23:39How you doing?
23:40You doing all right?
23:40Enjoy.
23:41Have a nice evening.
23:42I'll catch you on the latest.
23:43What's happening, girls?
23:44So what brings you here then?
23:45Experiencing it.
23:46Yeah.
23:47I've used to it.
23:47I've used to it.
23:48I've done anything like this before.
23:49I just mean, like,
23:50like an open relationship.
23:51No, never.
23:52I went on dates
23:53or anything like that
23:53with anyone else.
23:54No.
23:54I had, like, a threesome
23:55or anything.
23:55No.
23:56No.
23:56No.
23:57Ready to spice things up?
23:59Yeah, let's just go in.
24:00See how the boat goes, innit?
24:00Yeah.
24:01Not used to dating etiquette,
24:04Steve takes a novel approach
24:06to flirting.
24:08What's your ideal date night, then?
24:09Bit of Emmerdale Farmer
24:10in front of the telly, innit?
24:12I was joking, I was joking.
24:14I'd be straight out there.
24:16Put that on a date night, you're joking.
24:19It's quite hard.
24:20I'm not really a person
24:21to talk into depth
24:22about sexual life like that.
24:23I like more privacy.
24:25I don't like to boast
24:26about things that I've done
24:27or boast about things
24:28that I'd like to do.
24:30So are you, like,
24:31into anything kinky, then?
24:32I used to be very bad.
24:34What do you mean, very bad?
24:35I used to be a ladies' entertainer.
24:38No!
24:39Oh, wait, like a magic mic!
24:40You're a magic mic!
24:41Yeah.
24:42Can I see a move
24:43that you used to do?
24:44I won't show you one of those.
24:45Oh, come on!
24:48What's the typical type
24:49of person you'd only go for?
24:50I've never been all
24:51for the big sort of hench guys,
24:53kind of, all the muscles and that.
24:55At her social...
24:56You two are all right,
24:57because you've got definition.
24:59How much do you weigh?
25:00I'm 14.
25:01Helen is wasting no time
25:02getting to know the residents.
25:04That's muscle, then, isn't it?
25:05That's muscle.
25:06Yeah, because you've got,
25:07like, a 30-inch waist,
25:08don't you, or 20?
25:09Yeah, 32, 32.
25:10Ah, yeah.
25:11Yeah.
25:12And how tall are you?
25:13I'm 6'1".
25:14And obviously you work out.
25:16You don't do that
25:16lifting your breakfast spoon
25:18in the morning, do you?
25:19I love it.
25:19Do you know what I mean?
25:20These guys are great.
25:21Everyone's chatting,
25:22everything's flowing.
25:23It made me feel like
25:24I can be myself,
25:25so I'd like to know
25:26where it kind of goes from here.
25:27You've got a lot of banter right now,
25:29but that's how it comes out.
25:30I don't.
25:32I'm shy as they come.
25:33I feel like Helen's rolled out,
25:35and me and her were clicking,
25:37we were having a bit of banter.
25:38I'd definitely like to take her out
25:39just to show her that
25:40it can happen.
25:41There's more things out there.
25:44Hello, hello.
25:45How are you?
25:46You look phenomenal.
25:47You know, I've got some eyelashes on,
25:49so it's all good.
25:50Fresh.
25:50Yeah.
25:50Yeah, you know.
25:51Where are you from here, sir?
25:52Dorset at Somerset.
25:54Like, so Southwest-y, yeah.
25:56What do you do for a job?
25:57I just set up a barista coffee business
25:58called the Screamin' Bean.
26:01What was on your mind
26:02when you thought of Screamin' Bean?
26:03My sister said,
26:04you cannot call it that
26:06because it is just disgusting.
26:08Yeah, thank you.
26:09Like a clitoris.
26:09It's a bean.
26:10It's clicky there, isn't it?
26:11I just don't know how you didn't see that.
26:13Screamin' Bean.
26:14Architect Josh has taken a shine to Helen.
26:17You sound like an experienced lady.
26:19What do you want?
26:20Commitment and time.
26:23Commitment and time.
26:26Helen's a lovely lady.
26:28I love talking to her.
26:29She just seems like an absolute genuine person
26:31that just you'd want to be around.
26:33I think with tattoos,
26:34people go, oh, watch your tattoo, Helen,
26:36and it just looks like a little F.
26:37Where are your tattoos?
26:38Where are your tattoos?
26:39Well, you can't really see it.
26:41It's in there.
26:42Oh, see it later.
26:44Another time in the film.
26:45See it later?
26:45Later.
26:46And Helen has also made a connection with Josh.
26:51I liked the way that Josh asked me
26:54what it was that I wanted
26:55because that, I feel, is important.
26:58And the fact that he'd done that
26:59showed that he values the other person's sort of needs.
27:03So that one was a bit of a winner for me.
27:06On the other side of the retreat,
27:14Steve is loosening up.
27:17Will you stand up?
27:19I stand up.
27:20You're lucky, aren't you?
27:21Ready?
27:22Yeah, I'm ready, yeah.
27:24Ready?
27:24OK.
27:25He's decided to give the female residents
27:28a taste of his ladies' entertainment.
27:32I won't fight, OK?
27:33OK, OK.
27:34Now lay down.
27:35Lay down?
27:36Lay down!
27:36Lay down!
27:37Lay down!
27:37Lay down!
27:38Lay down!
27:39Lay down!
27:40Lay down!
27:40The striptease dance vibe,
27:43I'm not gonna lie, I thought there was a dick in my mouth
27:45at one point.
27:46Yeah, that's some way to meet someone anyway,
27:48just balls straight in the mouth.
27:49He's a really fun character.
27:50You can take your mask off now, you ready?
27:53Oh, my God!
27:54Oh, my God!
27:55Oh, my God!
27:56Oh, my God!
27:57You're not shy, me, kid.
27:58Yeah, no, you're not.
27:59You're not shy, huh?
28:00I'm sorry.
28:03Oh, my God!
28:04Oh, my God!
28:05Oh, my God!
28:06Oh, my God!
28:07Oh!
28:08Oh!
28:09Oh, my God!
28:10I think my striptease went down really well with the girls they were very excited there was a very
28:29large amount of screaming it's nice to make someone smile
28:40as the social winds down Helen is getting closer to resident Josh there's something that you said
28:50today which made me think yeah that's a really I want to know I'm interested in you you're a lovely
28:56a lovely person and she's invited him to go on a romantic date for me it's an emotional connection
29:08with someone that I can get on with someone that actually wants to listen and that's the reasons
29:13why I've picked him yeah Helen picks me it was a nice surprise she had the pick of the guys and
29:23she brought a lot laughter out of me and I think she's just a great person and I just would love
29:28just to get to know a little bit more post-strip partner Steve also wants to spend some one-on-one
29:35time with one of the residents Jess I'm really looking forward to go and spend some quality time
29:47with Jess she's one sort of person very very weird to be in this situation to go for a different woman
29:54whilst my wife knows I will enjoy it
29:57we're gonna have some fun definitely and yeah we'll just see where the where the night goes yeah
30:06committed couple Helen and Steve are dating people outside of their relationship

30:48me and you are going to have a fantastic yeah look cheers to this thank you for picking me
30:53after you Jess it's cute in here to be fair while Steve is having a one-to-one with Jess from Belfast
31:02locking the door securing it
31:04Jess is a very nice bubbly girl
31:08oh fuck yeah I think she's on the same wavelength as I am
31:13to see how things occur and how things progress Steve struggled with flirting earlier but being
31:19alone with Jess seems to bring out his playful side so you live in Glasgow then yeah no Ireland
31:26Ireland how fast yeah the island is not a different country is it it is is it yeah no it's a little
31:32thing just above England is it no I like the accent me I like it the Scottish accent or the Irish accent

31:43what a top up I'll take a top up top up the dates are going really well Jess is quite a bubbly person
31:49and quite a good laugh to be around she's definitely got a bit of banner and maybe we could see what progresses
31:55Helen says she hasn't been on a single date with Steve in their whole four-year relationship
32:02when I started working on building sites I was scared to go up and do chimneys
32:06so small talk over dinner is providing welcome attention
32:12I used to just like sort out concrete blocks so they're like 80 to 100 kg
32:19fucking hell are you joking no I got told that I'd chat people to death but you know
32:24it's not really a bad thing I love it you've got a lot to say
32:28Josh was actually really gentle and quite intensive
32:31I kind of like that that he actually wanted to listen to me
32:35it was just nice
32:37I used to be a David Beckham person
32:41yeah yeah I used to joke

33:30I love everything you subscribe to
33:33I think you can tell that I'm having a fantastic time

33:43I'm enjoying myself
33:45of course I am
33:45good
33:46I've been on a date for a long time
33:48tonight has been like a real eye-opener
33:51for me it was about getting to know someone
33:54because that's something I feel is missing from my relationship at the minute
33:58so
33:59yeah I've really enjoyed my time
34:01back in his yurt
34:07do you get whipped all the time?
34:10do you like all that whipped shit?
34:11it depends who you're whipped
34:12and despite turning the conversation kinky
34:15I could do more with my tongue than what most of it would do with the whole of their body
34:19yeah
34:19definitely yeah
34:21you think?
34:21yeah a million percent
34:22a million percent

34:35yeah yeah
34:35yeah he's good
34:36good
34:37I really had a great time
34:38Jessie's a very nice girl
34:39if I was 21 I think
34:41and I come on to an experience like this
34:43I think I'd be well gained for doing it all
34:46but we've been together for 40 years
34:47and that's something I don't want to lose
34:49after a night experiencing their first ever taste of non-monogamy
35:08Dr. Laurie wants to help the couple reflect on their dates
35:13okay so let's start with the early part of the evening
35:18how was that?
35:20fun
35:20it was alright
35:22I picked my date
35:23yeah we shared a couple of drinks together
35:26mm-hmm
35:26yeah we clicked
35:27we got on really well
35:28and yeah he's a nice guy
35:30I went on a date with a girl called Jess
35:32I did a little show for the ladies
35:34while we was in there on the actual thing yesterday
35:37so I took her with me just to get to know her a bit more
35:40you enjoyed the time?
35:41oh it was a lovely time with her
35:42very lovely girl
35:43very very nice person
35:44now that you've both had romantic dates with other people
35:47how do you feel about open relationships?
35:50the whole idea of this experience really
35:53was to sort of better our relationship
35:56I do always feel that he lives life in the fast lane
36:00and sometimes that you know not all my needs are met
36:03I do agree with what she's saying
36:04and I do work a substantial amount of time
36:07but it has made me realise now
36:09that I do need to spend a lot more time with Helen
36:11and be more there for her
36:13because I'm not usually there
36:14oh that's good
36:14which to me is a good thing about coming on to here
36:16and it's made me realise
36:18I don't think I could be in an open relationship
36:19no you could just say no
36:20hand on my heart I really don't
36:21it's not unusual you know
36:23often couples think they're ready
36:26and then they have to go away
36:27and work on themselves and their relationships
36:28it's taught us to sort of work on our relationship
36:32definitely
36:33it's been definitely an annoy-opener
36:35100% annoy-opener
36:37yeah
36:38thank you for throwing yourselves into it
36:41and I wish you all the best
36:43thank you very much
36:44have fun
36:44we will
36:45nice to meet you
36:46you too
36:47take care
36:47bye love
36:48this was a really interesting couple
36:55Helen was really
36:57not getting enough attention from him
36:58she's not getting the romance from him
37:00that she wants
37:01and she was hoping that
37:02non-monogamy was a solution to that
37:04I am happy that they feel
37:06that they learned something in this process
37:07and they felt that they had something positive
37:09to take away
37:10definitely I'm going to feel happy we're leaving
37:13but in a good way
37:15I spend some more quality time
37:17it definitely is a big thing
37:18I definitely, definitely haven't spent enough time with her
37:20and he's learned
37:21yeah this has opened my eyes to see that
37:23I didn't expect Steve just to openly say that he really wishes that he could spend more time with me
37:31we've bettered our relationship maybe
37:33yeah I think we have bettered our relationship
37:35it did make me well up a little bit actually
37:37you know because it made me feel that I've got a lot of what I wanted to from this experience
37:47I think we've got a lot of what I wanted to do
37:48I think we've got a lot of what I wanted to do
37:50I think we've got a lot of what I wanted to do
37:53I think we've got a lot of what I wanted to do
37:54I think we've got a lot of what I wanted to do
37:56tonight, Ellie and KS are going on a social together
38:00hey you look gorgeous
38:01it's so good to see you
38:03yeah I thought I thought I'd have to see you
38:04oh that would be amazing
38:05and based on their preference
38:08only women are invited to the party
38:10I really like your tattoos
38:12oh thank you
38:13you have your tattoos yourself?
38:15yeah I've got a few random ones to be honest
38:17if anything was going to happen in our relationship it would be together
38:22so it's good to experience this with Ellie
38:25this is the ideal scenario for me so I'm happy
38:28I love tattoos
38:29what's your favourite tattoo that you have?
38:30I'd say my favourite one is this one here
38:34because my grandad's from Barbados and he passed away so
38:37I think he's enjoying himself yeah talking to the girls
38:39he wouldn't
38:41they're looking for someone to invite on a date
38:44and potentially have a threesome with
38:46I just want to get in the pool
38:47have you been in the pool at all?
38:48I know
38:50it's a pool party why are we not all in the pool talking?
38:53exactly
38:54I love float I like go on my back when I do that as well
38:57they go back straight and all anyone to see is the boobs just wearing like
39:03just two pairs of tits just like gliding
39:06and it looks like chaos has made a connection with precious
39:10we should get in the hot tub is what we need to do
39:12have you been in the hot tub?
39:14saving these two spaces
39:16I mean precious is an attractive woman
39:19I would say physical attraction
39:22was yeah it was definitely there
39:24so ladies uh our lovely couple have made a decision on who they'd like to spend the night with
39:28precious
39:29what attracted me to precious is that she was just we had stuff in common and she was just easy to talk to and she's been in an open relationship before so
39:43I think ellie will definitely feel a little bit of jealousy as that's just her
39:48later
39:49let's go
39:51let's go
39:51I think if everything goes well we have a good you know couple of drinks have dinner
39:54the chemistry is there who knows what could happen
39:57no we've never done a joint date so you know that's going to be in itself something new
40:01obviously she's lovely so that's my maybe where like jealousy might come in
40:16thats what you're going to say
40:18ellie and chaos came to the retreat to see if they could open their relationship to another woman
40:23and tonight they are on a date with precious oh you've got a neck tattoo oh what do your
40:32tattoos have any meaning um it just means i'm a gift to be fair i mean precious gift you know
40:40it's just it's just that yeah i'm excited a little bit nervous because i have no idea what
40:47to expect and obviously it's going to be a bit intimidating at first i'd say the best case
40:52scenario is that ellie's comfortable to bring precious into our relationship you're a boob man
41:00aren't you i think you like bums but i think you like big boobs you also i mean i like you like both
41:05but if i choose i would go bum over boobs oh yeah yeah i think the emotions were just running high
41:11with me because i got the feeling that she wanted us to dive in and try more but the wobble came from
41:18just me not wanting to do anything precious who's been in multiple open relationships is worried
41:26ellie might not be entirely comfortable with the situation so when a girl kisses you know yeah do
41:33you go oh yeah well that's never hasn't happened so so if i kissed him you would get upset i don't know
41:41oh you see if you asked me yeah you'd be like i don't care exactly so like i don't know exactly so
41:48then that makes me think like i might then you know then you aren't i think i overthink it
41:52why are you so reserved about i was scared about it i don't know because i feel like i feel like i'd get
41:57jealous yeah you're stunning and you seem like you've got your confidence yeah right the person
42:03whoever kisses your boyfriend is not going to take him away he's yours she's still insecure about
42:11sharing her boyfriend her partner with somebody else and she's concerned that he will then get
42:18more attached to the other person okay well i'm gonna pop i'm gonna go i think it's hard to imagine
42:25you know your partner getting someone on a sexual level i don't know what it is i feel insecure like
42:31i know ellie was upset but obviously this is a hard thing to do because we are emotionally
42:38invested in each other we love each other
42:39last night ellie and chaos's date ended prematurely hey you all right yeah you're comfortable now dr
42:55laurie wants to help the couple work through what happened how was last night
43:00um i wasn't like comfortable with doing like things with other people i guess
43:08right my insecurities and jealousies yeah it was a difficult thing to go through
43:13if you had to put a name to those insecurities what what are they like how would you describe them
43:20um like not feeling good enough in general or or with him no like myself in yourself so when you look
43:31at the world that's how you feel yeah so have you compared yourself to other people yeah definitely
43:39yeah and yet you're a gorgeous woman right and he clearly adores you
43:47correct yeah well i'm yeah and i'm seeing that as well so what's come out of this is that considering
43:54opening up and considering non-monogamy has brought up your feelings of of not being good enough
44:00yeah you know it's not it's not a jealousy i don't know um it's hard to explain but
44:07you're not describing jealousy what you're saying is that you end up feeling uncomfortable because
44:11you don't feel good enough and the fear then is i'll be replaced and so coming here has highlighted
44:19that yeah so you can actually go away and work on that particular bit you know non-monogamy is like
44:25difficult you're not yet ready to open up you're just not there yeah you've got work to do on your
44:31own and as a couple to be in a place where you will be able to open up and feel strong enough in the
44:37relationship it's been wonderful to have you here as our guests i've really enjoyed meeting you
44:42thank you it's been so good meeting you as well i think you'll do fine thank you very much
44:47cheers we're all very good at hiding our vulnerabilities and it's only when things are
44:54out of our control or out of our comfort zone that these vulnerabilities surface it's really hard to
45:01know if non-monogamy will work for you or not until you try it we thought we would test like dip our toes
45:10in the waters and see what we think of it but speaking about it and then doing it is a completely
45:15different thing we're so happy that we did it really i think that it's something great that
45:20like everyone if they could like have a go you all right with that yep all good you got that yes
45:28there you go this process has definitely brought us closer as a couple
45:45if you're curious couple are single and are interested in being part of the next open house
