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