Short filmTranscript
00:00The first couple travelling to open house this year are Tanith and Mark from West Yorkshire.
00:29We met in the most lovely little pub, the Red Lion.
00:34Yeah, like a typical old man's pub where you would not expect to meet anybody in there.
00:39An attractive looking lady I've ever seen in there to be honest.
00:42He took his chance, he got it, he got it.
00:46This is definitely the best relationship I've had.
00:49I like Tan's smile.
00:51Aw, stop leaving the bush.
00:53She's just a fun personality, she's always bubbly and...
00:56Aw, you're softy.
00:58They share a house, a chihuahua and big plans.
01:03Me and Mark, we are like family now and we are thinking about, you know, the future with kids and that kind of stuff too.
01:12Potentially a ring.
01:14But like all relationships, this one has its ups and downs.
01:19And some old habits are hard to shake.
01:22I tend to have a bit of one red eye.
01:25I've always wanted to just do what I want to do when I want to do it and sometimes when you find yourself in relationships you feel a bit trapped.
01:36I think I've always felt very much trapped.
01:39So today, Tanith and Mark are setting out to discover whether an open relationship could be right for them.
01:45Before this relationship I've never thought of non-monogamy.
01:48Yeah, there's always that stigma around that and, you know, it's quite taboo for someone to even think about it.
01:54Two friends, two lovers, but you're still kind of free.
02:03That's insane!
02:06Oh my God!
02:09You ready?
02:10I'm ready.
02:11I'm ready.
02:18Here to help the guests on their journey are the open house residents who are experienced in the extraordinary world of non-monogamy.
02:30Actually being non-monogamous is more natural to our human nature than being monogamous.
02:34The open lifestyle for me is just about embracing your own sexuality and who you are as a person.
02:43It's a very empowering feeling.
02:48I like men.
02:49I like to have more than one, like three, five sometimes.
02:55To see the orgasm of the men really turn me on.
03:00We offer new couples some fun and a bit of experience.
03:06I'm a cracking pair of tits.
03:22How's it going, honey?
03:24Are they here?
03:27They're really bad.
03:30He's so fit. Anyone who looks like a drummer.
03:33Mark and Tan is completely my type.
03:36I love a man with strong hair, as you can tell by the facial hair.
03:39I think fancy is too weak a word.
03:42I think we absolutely love their vibe.
03:45Oh, wow, the energy!
03:47She's cute. I like her.
03:51Hi!
03:53Nice to meet you!
03:54I love a guy with long hair. He's giving me surfer vibes. And she with just a little pocket of energy. Absolutely brilliant impression.
04:06Hi!
04:08Very nice welcoming.
04:12The worst case scenario would be that you would risk your relationship.
04:17And, yeah, of course it would be devastating.
04:21Hello!
04:22Hi!
04:23Welcome! I'm Effie. Nice to meet you.
04:24Hi, Effie. Nice to meet you.
04:25Come in.
04:28Guiding all new arrivals on their journey is non-monogamy coach Effie Blue.
04:34I think it's important to have a retreat like this.
04:37Because it provides a space that you don't have anywhere else.
04:41You can play.
04:43You can connect.
04:44You can explore.
04:45You can experiment.
04:47And you have a support network around you to take care of you to make sure that your experience is the right one for you.
04:53I'm looking forward to challenging people to get out of their comfort zone and really explore non-monogamy.
04:59So, how long have you been together?
05:05Two and a half years.
05:06Two and a half years, yeah.
05:07Okay. How's it going?
05:08Like, we've had a...we had a turbulent start.
05:11Okay.
05:12But...
05:13There were insecurities and trust issues, you know, at the very beginning.
05:16And then I ended up cheating.
05:19Okay.
05:21And...
05:22Caught invigorated.
05:23Caught me, yeah.
05:25We've been together, I think...
05:29A year.
05:30Yeah, it just, like, tore my world apart.
05:32It was really hard.
05:34Feeling we were in a good place and it's all to be shattered, I guess.
05:38And we ended up, like, I think, took time for ourselves.
05:42And I realised in that time, like, he was worth...
05:47Worth it.
05:49Dan, how are you feeling?
05:51It's, like, it's just a lot of emotion, isn't it?
05:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:54Sorry.
05:55Nice, yeah.
05:56I'm good for me.
05:57Okay.
05:59And was there cheating in your previous relationships?
06:01Do you have, like, a history of cheating?
06:02I've always had a tendency to be a bit unfairful in the past.
06:07Okay.
06:10And what were you getting out of those cheating experiences?
06:14I guess it's the feeling of...
06:15Feeling like you wanted or somebody is attracted to you.
06:18It's probably, like, not feeling good within yourself.
06:21So you're looking at getting that through other people.
06:25Maybe it stemmed from childhood or there was some insecurities within myself.
06:28Maybe I didn't feel like I was good enough and I was seeking attention elsewhere.
06:33There's lots of different reasons why people do what they do.
06:35So how much of, sort of, your pastry of infidelity has impacted your decision to potentially open up your relationship?
06:45So, I think I was the one that brought it up.
06:47Okay.
06:48Yeah.
06:50I knew I wanted to be with Mark and I thought maybe this is the right path that we should go down and explore.
06:56I think it was just, I think, for me, it was just monogamy.
06:59I was just failing at relationships.
07:01Like, I couldn't wish to meet a better person than Tan.
07:04You know, she's just a great human, you know, nothing negative about her.
07:09You know, really good energy.
07:10And I don't want to lose that person.
07:12Yeah.
07:15So do you have something in mind that you want to explore?
07:17So we thought about just bringing, like, a woman in and then going separately.
07:26Okay.
07:27We have thought about opening up our relationship separately.
07:30Obviously, we've had trust issues in the past and I think playing separate would build that extra level of trust in our relationship.
07:40If we do this separately, I think it could build our trust.
07:44Because you've gone through, you've gone through accepting that someone's gone off somewhere.
07:50You're aware that it's consensual and you're both consented to it.
07:54And there's no dishonesty or deceit.
07:57Okay.
07:58So this is about trust, right?
07:59Yeah.
08:00You're going to lean into that a lot.
08:01Yeah.
08:02So how about we create two separate socials for you?
08:07Where you get to socialize, connect with people.
08:10If you want to escalate things, we have beautiful spaces for you to go and do whatever you want to do.
08:15With a little bit of separation, a little bit of independence from one another to have your own experiences with other people.
08:23You're going to come back here tomorrow and we're going to unpack it together.
08:27We're normally joined at the hip, aren't we?
08:29Okay.
08:30Well, we're here to challenge you and help you understand.
08:32You're challenging us.
08:33That's what we're here for, you know.
08:34We're here to try new things.
08:36I'm excited for you.
08:38Have a great time.
08:39Don't forget to have fun.
08:41And I'll see you tomorrow.
08:42Yeah, see you tomorrow.
08:43Beautiful.
08:44Yeah, yeah.
08:45Let yourselves out.
08:48Trust is key to the success of their exercise tonight.
08:52They will be going apart separately and socializing and potentially connecting and escalating things with somebody.
08:57Oh, my God, that's cool.
08:58Wow.
08:59And in those moments, they're going to have to lean back on trust to have a good time.
09:04Are you nervous about anything?
09:06I'm nervous about it.
09:07Yeah.
09:08It's about a friend in the deep end, isn't it?
09:09You know what I mean?
09:10You boost me up.
09:12Single scenarios about each other.
09:14It's completely new to me and Mark, so I guess it's a big step.
09:17And something that would be difficult for me in this is definitely if one of us did something and the other didn't.
09:24You know, I think that would be the hardest thing.
09:32Next to arrive at this unique retreat are Chloe and Paul from Liverpool.
09:38Where are we getting led to?
09:39It's like the start of a scary movie where everything's all well.
09:43So me and Chloe are the same.
09:44I mean, we belong here.
09:45We do go like bread and butter, yeah.
09:49We met at sixth form college, didn't we?
09:52Yeah.
09:53We've been together for nearly ten years now.
09:54Married for free.
09:56We're like two best mates going on holiday, do you know what I mean?
10:00That's what it's like.
10:04Soulmates from the start, Chloe and Paul have always been each other's one and only.
10:11Paul was actually my first relationship.
10:15I hadn't been with anyone else before, Paul.
10:17He was literally my first everything.
10:19Yeah, we've only slept with each other, yeah.
10:21So it is a fact that we have missed out on some experiences.
10:26I just feel like there's this, like, part of me that I kind of haven't unlocked yet.
10:32Now the curious couple are looking to expand their horizons by having sex with other people.
10:39When it comes to monogamy, why can't we have fun with multiple people?
10:43And still have a partner?
10:45I think we'll find out if we're good kisses or not.
10:48Yeah.
10:49We're going to end up, like, clashing teeth and everyone is going,
10:51Is this not how you do it?
10:55I feel a bit nervous.
10:57Be sad, we'll be alright.
10:58There's just that little bit of nervousness.
11:00That's what makes it all worth it.
11:01Yeah.
11:02Imagine you were numb to it.
11:03You'd be like, oh, like, what's the point?
11:06I think Chloe might be a little bit more nervous than me.
11:09But I'm self-confident.
11:10I've always felt secure.
11:12I'm not going to lie, I'm excited.
11:14So we're opening up our relationship and he's like my best friend.
11:17He's not just my husband.
11:19I think that's what makes me nervous.
11:21A lot of things could go wrong.
11:24Oh, my God.
11:28You look beautiful.
11:30Tonight they'll be going to different socials.
11:32Mark will be having fireside drinks with the retreat's female residents.
11:35Cheers.
11:37Cheers.
11:39And Tanith will attend a cocktail party where she will get to meet some of the residents' men.
11:42It's a bit weird you're not being there.
11:43Yeah.
11:44I think that's the big thing for me is you're not actually being there.
11:45It's a big thing doing it.
11:46apart, so I guess you never know until you're in there.
11:47It's a big thing doing it apart, so I guess you never know until you're in there.
11:48Yeah, beautiful.
11:49Yeah, beautiful.
11:50My game plan tonight is, it's a big thing.
11:51It's a big thing doing it apart, so I guess you never know until you're in there.
11:52Yeah, beautiful.
11:53My game plan tonight is to relax and just go and enjoy it.
11:54I just want to go and enjoy it.
11:55It's a big thing.
11:56It's a big thing doing it apart, so I guess you never know until you're in there.
12:00Yeah, beautiful.
12:01My game plan tonight is to relax and just go and enjoy it.
12:06I just want to go out there and just go out there and have fun.
12:13Here to collect Mark for his soiree is resident Marie.
12:17I do this sexy lifestyle since, yeah, seven years ago.
12:22I've had a lot of fun.
12:23It's a big thing doing it apart, so I guess you never know until you're in there.
12:26Yeah, beautiful.
12:27My game plan tonight is to relax and just go and enjoy it.
12:30I just want to go out there and have fun.
12:32Here to collect Mark for his soiree is resident Marie.
12:35Since, yeah, seven years now.
12:39Sex is healthy.
12:42So I do a lot of healthy stuff.
12:48Hello.
12:49How are you guys?
12:50How are you?
12:51I am here to collect for Mark.
12:52Is that okay?
12:53Take good care of everyone.
12:54Yes.
12:55We will.
12:56Oh, God.
12:57See you later.
12:58See you later.
12:59It's going to be fun.
13:00Have fun too.
13:01Enjoy yourself.
13:02See you soon.
13:03Bye.
13:04Love you.
13:05Having only ever been intimate with one another, childhood sweethearts Chloe and Paul are arriving at the retreat to explore opening up their relationship.
13:33Look at me with my backpack.
13:34It's like my first day in school or something.
13:35What's that accent?
13:36Are you okay?
13:37Hi.
13:38Hi.
13:39Oh, good.
13:40This is Chloe.
13:41Nice to meet you.
13:42Lovely to meet you.
13:43And Chloe.
13:44I think they've got a good energy.
13:45Are you all right?
13:46Yeah.
13:47Are you okay?
13:48Yeah, I'm so good.
13:49Yeah, I'm so good.
13:50Yeah, I'm so good.
13:51Yeah, you're fine.
13:52Yeah, I'm so good.
13:53Yeah, I'm so good.
13:54Yeah, what are you like?
13:55It's lovely, yeah?
13:56Hi.
13:57Are you all right?
13:58Yeah.
13:59I would spend some more time with them. She's very cute.
14:02She's got this beautiful kind of innocent cute smile and I like that a lot.
14:06I feel whenever I hear this girl's acting, I'm like, right, party for you.
14:09We know who's there. Yeah, things love me, aren't they?
14:11Yeah.
14:12You know, it smells so nice, hasn't it?
14:15I think worst-case scenario for me,
14:17she runs off into the sunset with someone else.
14:20That's kind of a worst-case scenario for me too.
14:23And you prefer it with other women.
14:29Hello, guys. Hi, I'm Effie.
14:33So, I want to hear from you. What brings you here today?
14:36Like, over the last two years, during sex, we've opened up a lot more
14:40and obviously our sex life improved and then it comes to a point
14:43where, like, Chloe started opening up about her, like, being bi-curious.
14:47How long this idea of bi-curiosity has been with you?
14:52It's been quite a few years.
14:55I did, like, have the thoughts when I was younger.
14:58I think about it all the time.
15:02Growing up, it was said all the time, like,
15:04oh, girls who are bisexual are greedy.
15:07Some family members I've spoke to, they're really supportive.
15:10But a few of them I've tried speaking to
15:13and they just, like, blow it off.
15:16I think if I hadn't met Paul,
15:18I might not have been as open about it.
15:20Like, obviously, now. Like, I just need to try it
15:26and then I'll know who I am as a person.
15:32OK, so, I want to hear from you.
15:35What normal egomy might look like.
15:37Like, for me, like, I'm excited, like, to explore a woman's body.
15:42Mm-hm.
15:43But, like, for Paul to also be exploring the same person as me.
15:48Like, my amazing reaction was, like, oh, that's cool, that.
15:53Like, I've hit the jackpot here.
15:56My wife, like, wants to, like, experiment.
15:58It's like digging for treasure together.
16:00Yeah.
16:01And clearly, did you ever consider exploring women on your own?
16:05I think it'd be more, like, bisexual than, say, like, lesbian tendencies.
16:09Yeah.
16:10Like, you might enjoy it with me and the girl.
16:12Yeah, but just maybe not.
16:13On your own with the girl.
16:15You guys are a wonderful couple.
16:16Clearly love each other.
16:18You're very close.
16:19Um, one of the dynamics I notice
16:22is that sometimes you talk for Chloe, Paul.
16:25I apologise.
16:26It's OK, there's nothing to apologise.
16:27I just want to explore it.
16:29I'm confident, you know what I mean?
16:30And Chloe, if she, like, isn't confident in a situation,
16:33then I'll help her out to find the words.
16:35But I don't necessarily mean to, like, if she's got something to say,
16:38I don't mean to get in first.
16:40So, you are here to explore non-monogamy.
16:43You have no experience and you're like,
16:44we want to do this thing, let's explore.
16:46I'm going to start you off lightly.
16:48Tonight, there's a social.
16:51If you can, at some point, for a short period of time, separate.
16:57Go the opposite way.
16:59Yeah.
17:00Chat, chat, chat.
17:01Yeah.
17:02You know, look for connections, right?
17:03Yeah.
17:04Get back together and maybe invite somebody
17:06and just have that sort of first experience.
17:09Do you think you can do that?
17:10Yeah.
17:11Yeah?
17:12Yeah.
17:13Sounds like a plan.
17:14So, this is really about you just feeling your way around.
17:16Yeah, it's exciting.
17:17Can't wait.
17:18It's going to be mad, but I can't wait, yeah.
17:20Does that feel good?
17:21Yeah.
17:22Just ready to get out there.
17:23Beautiful, beautiful.
17:24Okay.
17:25Go out there, have fun.
17:26And I'll look forward to speaking to you guys tomorrow.
17:28Awesome.
17:29Thanks very much.
17:30You're very welcome.
17:33Let's go.
17:37Paul and Chloe's relationship is almost old fashioned.
17:39They've met really young and they really haven't had any chance to sow their wild oats.
17:45This is it now, like, what we came for.
17:47Yeah.
17:49The encouragement today is for her to socialise separately without Paul being there talking for her.
17:54It'll be interesting to see how well she does.
17:56Oh!
17:58Oh, my God.
17:59I'm excited, but I'm nervous.
18:02Because I've only ever been with Paul, like, but I just feel like there's this, like, part of me that I kind of haven't unlocked yet.
18:10But a lot of things could go wrong.
18:12Ladies first.
18:13I know they said.
18:15Of course I'm excited to see Chloe with another woman.
18:17I'll be there to support her, but really I'm going to have fun too, do you know what I mean?
18:21Some confidence, but every boxer has a plan until they get in the ring and get punched in the face.
18:33Can't wait to see what's in store.
18:34Yeah.
18:36At the retreat's camping area, Mark joins the ladies, who are eager to make his acquaintance.
18:42It's all right by the fire, isn't it?
18:44Yeah.
18:45A little bit weird at first, you know, but it's just all a little bit nerve-wracking.
18:49Mark, I can't remember your girlfriend, wife, are you married?
18:54It's my girlfriend.
18:55The girlfriend. What's her name?
18:56She's called Tanith.
18:57How are you feeling not having her with you? Is that a little bit weird?
19:02We'll look after you.
19:03Oh yeah, I can show you well.
19:09Escorting Tanith to her social is Aaron, one of the retreat's single males.
19:14I think I've always been the more sexual person in a relationship.
19:18I love sex.
19:20I've always loved sex.
19:23Hello.
19:27Hello.
19:28Are you okay?
19:29Are you ready?
19:30Yeah, I think so.
19:31We're going to go and have a really fun party.
19:35Tanith is attending a cocktail party, laid on just for her.
19:40I'm feeling nervous.
19:41I guess it's going to be a bit like, well, there's a lot of people to talk to.
19:44Yeah, just going to take it as it comes, really, and go in there with an open mind.
19:49Hey, everyone. How are you all right, guys?
19:52Hey, guys.
19:53Hi.
19:54How are you?
19:55This is the first time me and Ma have done anything socially without each other,
19:59so obviously it feels a bit weird and strange without him.
20:04Cheers, everyone.
20:05Cheers, everybody.
20:06So how long have you been together?
20:08Two and a half years now.
20:10It's the first time being a pub.
20:12There's no, like, a little wingman, more than I think, but we are each other's person.
20:17We're our best mates, like, you know, just, like, soulmates and stuff.
20:20Obviously this is the first little trend in the waters with everything, and then, yeah.
20:25A seco, please.
20:26Oh, okay, I'll bring you that.
20:28This is good service.
20:29Isn't it?
20:30Efficient.
20:31Efficient.
20:32Efficient service.
20:33Yeah.
20:34How old are you now, Mark?
20:35Don't mind me asking.
20:36Er, 34?
20:37I'm 40.
20:38Oh, yeah.
20:39I'm a secret.
20:40Okay, you look great.
20:4140, thank you.
20:42What's your secret?
20:43My secret?
20:44I'm just moisturising.
20:45But you look incredible for 40, man.
20:46Oh, thanks.
20:48You look great.
20:49You look great.
20:5040, thank you.
20:51What's your secret?
20:52My secret?
20:53I'm just moisturising.
20:54But you look incredible for 40, man.
20:59Oh, thanks.
21:01He was really easy going and down to earth.
21:03And I think that's what I found really attractive about him as well.
21:06He just seemed like just such a genuine person.
21:10With Mark proving to be a hit, the ladies are keen to move things on.
21:16We dare you to...
21:21Can I have, please?
21:23Two little lap dogs for Mark.
21:25Oh, yeah!
21:26Oh, yeah!
21:28I feel like he's just one of them guys that you think, yeah, you're good looking.
21:37And then the more you spend time with him, you're like, you're sexy as fuck.
21:41I'm having a great time tonight.
21:42Yeah, I'm excited.
21:43I like meeting new people.
21:44Ultimately, all I want out of this experience is for us both to just have fun and enjoy it.
21:58Chloe and Paul are preparing for their social.
22:13Tonight, they'll be attending an 80s-themed party with the aim of potentially meeting a female resident for their very first threesome.
22:30Just thinking a bit makes me nervous.
22:35I think the nerves are starting to settle in a bit.
22:38If I'm not comfortable, then it's just going to be anxiety for me and a lot of pressure that I don't want.
22:45Are you not nervous or anything?
22:47No.
22:48Chloe's more nervous than me.
22:51I honestly think it's all going to be fine and it's going to be fun.
23:00Give us a kiss.
23:02Let's rock and roll.
23:03Yeah.
23:04Let's give it.
23:05Let's give it.
23:06I do rely on Paul a lot when it comes to, like, group situations.
23:10Like, he'll talk the back legs off a donkey.
23:12Whereas me, I do get anxious.
23:15I think I prefer to close your hands.
23:19I hope I can form out my comfort zone and, like, challenge myself because that's what we're here for.
23:25But, to be honest, I don't know if I can.
23:28As instructed by Effie, for a short time, Chloe and Paul will separate.
23:40So the less socially confident Chloe can try making connections of her own.
23:46I think it's weird because I feel a bit too relaxed about the situation.
23:52Paul can make friends so quick.
23:55Hi.
23:56You all right?
23:57You all right, strangers?
23:58There are times where I don't really need a conversation.
24:01That's just my anxiety.
24:03That's what I need to work on.
24:05So is it the girls' side that you're looking to...
24:07Yeah.
24:08Yeah, it comes to girls and stuff.
24:09I think you have a lot of the same body parts.
24:11Yeah, yeah.
24:13You know your way around a bit and it's not as alien.
24:16Yeah.
24:17Yeah.
24:18It should be, yeah, fairly easy to put things up.
24:20Yeah.
24:22I've never really had any experience flirting with girls.
24:25There's just a lot of pressure.
24:27It's kind of like imposter syndrome.
24:34You're still dancing, I love it.
24:36I'm just feeling the vibe, do you know what I mean?
24:39Just bouncing around the room.
24:40So are you here for her experience?
24:42We're here for her, but it'd be nice for me to just, like, enjoy the situation too.
24:46Yeah.
24:47But I'm just looking for, like, another girl to, like, bring her out of shell.
24:50Yeah.
24:51She is, like, a wild card once you get to know her.
24:53Yeah.
24:54But it's getting her out of her.
24:56Yeah.
24:57What's the situation with you?
24:58So I've got a partner as well.
24:59He's also a Scouse.
25:00Must be a Scouse magnet then.
25:01Yeah, maybe.
25:02Come on.
25:03How you far out with that?
25:05Yeah.
25:06Yeah, it's going great.
25:07Yeah, it's going better than expected.
25:08But I'm also like, I wonder what she's, how she's getting on.
25:12Oh, good.
25:13Yeah.
25:14What's the crack?
25:16We're here now.
25:17This is it.
25:18It's fun, isn't it?
25:19I am on the good time.
25:20I think it's just over here I'm, like, talking to so many people.
25:23It's still brand new, but, like, how long have we, like, been doing this?
25:26An hour?
25:27Not even, like, a lot of these people have been doing this for, like, two years, five years,
25:32ten years.
25:33For us, we've been doing it an hour.
25:34So I think even if we do this for a year, it'll still feel new.
25:37Yeah.
25:38You overthink it and then it passes.
25:40You're like, all right, I'll do it.
25:41Take that opportunity again.
25:42Yeah.
25:43You need to strike whilst the iron's hot.
25:45As a man and as a husband, it's my duty to look after Chloe and to push Chloe and to
25:52help her, like, explore anything she needs and give her what she needs.
25:56And if this is something that she needs, then I'm only going to support that.
26:01I'm nervous, but I'm OK.
26:02Just kiss.
26:03Now, let's go.
26:04Let's crack on.
26:05It's good.
26:06It's exciting.
26:07Yeah.
26:08Yeah.
26:09How old are you guys, by the way?
26:10I didn't even ask.
26:1127.
26:12Same age.
26:13Yeah.
26:14I'll just try to just go.
26:15I think too old.
26:16You've got, like, a gentle Scouts accent, though.
26:17Like, some of my friends in Liverpool, they'll be like...
26:19Yeah, I've been around so many northerners, actually picking up different twang from like,
26:20I love it.
26:21Yeah.
26:22I love it.
26:23I love it.
26:24Yeah.
26:25I love it.
26:26I love it.
26:27I love it.
26:28I love it.
26:29You have such a cute face.
26:30Really?
26:31Yeah.
26:32You're flacky with me.
26:33That's what we're interested in.
26:34Yeah.
26:35Once I started talking to Emily and Holly, anxiety was, like, lowered, and I got more
26:50into the vibes.
26:51So, I'm very bipolar.
26:53OK.
26:54Say, like, my type of, like, punky tattoos.
26:56I know.
26:57I know what a coincidence.
26:59She's lovely.
27:00She's so sweet.
27:01So cute.
27:02So cute.
27:03Yeah.
27:04Very attractive.
27:05Really good vibes.
27:06Yeah.
27:07Like, considering she came into it so nervous, like...
27:09Really good energy.
27:10Just so you know, we're down.
27:12Yeah.
27:13So, just...
27:14Yeah.
27:15Yeah.
27:16Yeah.
27:17I think, with me, it's a lot about, like, vibes.
27:20So, if you make me feel comfortable, I'm, like...
27:23It's just gonna feel natural to me.
27:25Like, out of bed.
27:26When I come back.
27:27With you.
27:28OK.
27:29That's fun.
27:30I'm totally down.
27:31Yeah.
27:32OK.
27:33Hold your hands.
27:34Yeah.
27:35I'm ready.
27:50How's that?
27:51Nice.
27:52So, you've smogged a girl.
27:54I know.
27:55I've never kissed a girl before, no.
27:56That was my first time.
27:57I got, like...
27:58The butter.
27:59Like, I got a feeling.
28:00So...
28:01I'm hoping it leads to good things, so we'll see.
28:04How's that making you feel?
28:05It's weird, isn't it?
28:06I've...
28:07I've only ever saw her...
28:08Well, like, kiss me.
28:09Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
28:10Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
28:11Like, this is weird.
28:12I don't know how I would feel.
28:13I don't know how I would feel.
28:15I don't know how I would feel.
28:16Yeah.
28:17Yeah.
28:18I don't know how I would feel.
28:19I don't know how I would feel.
28:20I don't know how I would feel.
28:21I don't know how I would feel.
28:26I don't know how I would feel.
28:27I don't know how I would feel.
28:29I don't know how I would feel.
28:33Yeah.
28:35I don't know how I would feel.
28:42Earlier, Chloe surprised herself and husband Paul by kissing a girl for the very first time.
28:53and since she started she can't stop with things moving so fast Paul takes
29:22Chloe aside
29:27what's going on Ian? I know you're beating me I know makes a change but isn't it mad how like all of a sudden it's went from nothing to like fall on this
29:39because I know we spoke about doing it as a pre-symbol yeah I feel like I kind of want to go on my journey
29:44I mean not on my like not on my afternoon but even though like I'm obviously exploring this side of myself you can explore too
29:55just literally don't even overthink it yeah I came in like to experience it old Paul but I kind of felt like
30:08it was kind of shifting from experiencing something together to like taking like our own like separate
30:16journeys like there's a shift having made the decision to go their separate ways Chloe wastes no time
30:30and I feel like the way it's been tonight don't think anyone expected like I don't know where Chloe is now
30:51where's my girl oh right here we go where's Emily can you find Emily Emily's gone too so I don't know what that
31:03she's gone with the two girls she's gone with both she's she looked so happy shocked like I'm not gonna lie I'm shocked like

31:19let's all just get cozy let's have a let's have a slumber party guys
31:28cheers girls cheers
31:30it's weird it's like the tables are flipped and I wasn't I wasn't expecting that

31:40oh really just me like yeah yeah
31:42women's lips just feel so much better yeah yeah yeah yeah oh cozy cozy oh
31:51gonna have to step on me game now not to be outdone you just want to go on the outdoor jacuzzi

32:20massage oil would you like a little massage from me and Emily to be honest I'm so nervous on the
32:25side but I'm pushing I know if I don't like I want it but I know if like I shy away like I'll shut
32:33myself off to it two women instead of one I know I don't know if it's too much like more than what a
32:40bargain for at the festival area mark is enjoying his dating experience away from partner Tanith
32:54and as the fireside games heat up give a French kiss to Lily
33:01for me I'm 100% right
33:05that's hot
33:11kissing without my partner felt a little bit strange at first but I think it loosened up a little bit
33:23it was quite fun yeah that's nice it's not cold around this campfire
33:31Mark is definitely my type yeah such a vibe and just fucking attractive you're a great kisser by the
33:37way oh my god thank you I want to try now there's a lot of names I'll get there I'll get there
33:44meanwhile at the cocktail party open couple Lou and Ellie have taken Tanith under their wing well
33:51we've both been in the lifestyle before like we've been in different leadership yeah yeah over ten years but together four years
33:59yeah so um have you got like any like what like I was looking at your legs and everything when you
34:07go to the gym go to the gym together yeah yeah he's my uh inspiration because I wouldn't go for him I don't think
34:21I wouldn't go for him I don't think it's a bit like oh my partner's gone now like it's a bit weird but I'm sure he's in good hands
34:28I think for me the next step would be to obviously get to know the girls a little bit more I'm gonna go back to the
34:49yurt now and if you ladies want to follow me then you're welcome to
34:52yeah take us to your yurt didn't expect it'd be going like this what about Tanith are you thinking
35:12about Tanith Todd I think she's having a good time I'm not really thinking too much about tennis
35:16otherwise that distract me from what I'm doing here do you think he was thinking about Tanith no
35:23yeah he didn't seem to be worried but he's the one coming into this experience and this is him
35:28pushing his own boundaries yeah I'm eager to get out there and have a good night
35:33just looking forward to having fun and seeing what happens
35:36welcome to my place
35:46since wife Chloe went it alone Paul's found himself in the hands of Grace and Naomi
35:52I'm driving straight
35:53both eager to become his non-monogamy guides
35:56I think here we've just been raised haven't we with one idea of what a relationship looks like
36:02yeah you know there's a million ways to navigate a relationship and you're in control of how you want
36:07to do that it's it's just like it's exciting yeah yeah it's good how do you think she's feeling
36:17probably on top of the world yeah
36:21we'll take our clothes off make you feel more comfortable yeah let's do it
36:26your body's phenomenal
36:30going into it I was really nervous because I'd never done anything like that before
36:42well the girls like really like they make me feel so comfortable and they lower me anxiety straight away
36:49and you think it's ever too much just tell us yeah if you want to stop just say
36:58I surprised myself because like I pushed myself way out of me comfort zone
37:06me very first like opening up like exploring me by curiosity it felt really good
37:23yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so so like here's the thing like here's the thing is like um we've went through it we've we've struggled to have kids
37:31like we had a house we were like like this is the next step now have a kid yeah
37:39like we're trying trying trying no one hasn't happened yeah trying again trying again trying
37:47and still hasn't happened like this is like nine months oh wow she just got investigating like you've got endometeosis
37:53this year she's getting a surgery so we could have kids possibly next year
38:00yeah you've obviously had a lot of experience in this life and this lifestyle so yeah
38:06still very new to it vanilla spine
38:10You've obviously had a lot of experience in this life, this lifestyle, so compared to vanilla, mate.
38:20Still very new to it. Vanilla's fine.
38:25I could definitely sense Paul's nerves.
38:27I think it was extra daunting because then there wasn't just one girl there, there was two.
38:31So it was probably difficult for him to make that first move.
38:35You were born to be a lesbian.
38:44Shall we try to do a little triangle?
38:47Yeah.
38:48Yeah.
38:49Yeah?
38:50It was like, kind of a triangle.
38:53Learning Mafia.
38:55Where we each, like...
39:02Yeah, it was really good.
39:06Like, I pushed myself way out of me comfort zone.
39:17I've had my hands under water, so I am actually a pro.
39:20Yeah, same.
39:21It was just out of me death.
39:25Right, shall we go?
39:26Shall we go?
39:27Yeah, ma'am.
39:28It's like you've got a face full of bumps.
39:30I know.
39:31Here we go.
39:33It didn't feel right tonight to just jump straight in like that, because it's a marathon, not a sprint.
39:43Wow.
39:44That was really fucking hot.
39:45And was she just natural at it?
39:47Yeah.
39:48Yeah.
39:49You're in that.
39:50Definitely bisexual?
39:51I think so.
39:52Yay!
39:54Big night, yeah.
39:55A lot of firsts.
39:56I enjoyed it, so I feel like I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I did if I was bisexual.
40:00You did pretty fucking good.
40:01I am.
40:02There was definitely fireworks for Chloe, yes.
40:03Yeah.
40:04Yeah.
40:05Yeah.
40:06We were all very, having a good time.
40:07We had great chemistry.
40:08Yeah.
40:09It's like completely different to being with a man.
40:10It's all good, yeah.
40:11Yeah.
40:12Yeah.
40:13It is a lot more, like, sensual.
40:14Yeah.
40:15A little cuddle to that.
40:16Yeah!
40:17Yeah!
40:18Getting rid of all of that.
40:19I think it was the right decision for Chloe to take that step on what she felt she needed
40:32from us and for that to be separate from Paul.
40:35He's made me feel so comfortable, to be honest, so.
40:38Aww!
40:39Don't go on.
40:40I felt like something has been missing.
40:41I feel like I've unlocked that part in myself that I feel like it's been missing type thing.
40:47So yeah, it's just like, I can learn about who I am now.
40:52My relationship with Chloe is everything to me.
40:55I think worst case scenario for me, Chloe can meet a woman and a woman can fulfil her needs
41:00more, and she could leave me, and I'd have to deal with that.
41:05We are broken.
41:25Paul hasn't seen wife Chloe since her surprise disappearance
41:29with residents Holly and Emily over four hours ago.
41:38Hello!
41:39Hi!
41:40Yeah?
41:42You okay?
41:43Yeah.
41:44Can you come and tell me about it?
41:46What did you do then?
41:48They went down on me.
41:49Oh gosh!
41:50Yeah.
41:51Did they?
41:52Yeah.
41:53And then, I went down on Emily.
41:59Did you?
42:00Yeah.
42:01And then, we did like kind of like a triangle.
42:05What?
42:07A triangle?
42:08Yeah.
42:09What does that even look like?
42:11What does that even look like?
42:12It's like, Holly like down was eating Emily out, and then Emily like down was eating me
42:16Who likes you?
42:17Can't out?
42:18Who likes you?
42:19Can't out?
42:20What can't out?
42:21What?
42:22I know!
42:23Felt, felt right?
42:24Yeah.
42:25Do you think you're all bisexual then?
42:26Yeah.
42:27Definitely do, yeah.
42:28That's like impressive, but it's always like what?
42:29Yeah.
42:30That's like mental.
42:31Sorry, I'm just trying to deal with the stuff you just told me.
42:32Like what?
42:33Yeah.
42:34That is mental.
42:35I know.
42:36What about you?
42:37I went to the hot tub with Naomi and Grace, and we were just like, to be honest, we were
42:52just talking, but then literally like that was it.
42:55Really, we were just thinking about you and talking about you, you know what I mean?
42:58Like, mental what you got off to.
43:00It was nice.
43:01It is different being with a man than me.
43:04Like, to be with a woman.
43:05More like, sensual.
43:10Does that mean that...
43:15Like you're still like attracted to me and you still want like sex with me and stuff?
43:18Yeah.
43:19Wow.
43:20That is mental.
43:21No.
43:22Ironically, I was the one out my comfort zone tonight.
43:25Fuck yeah.
43:26Whoa, I can't.
43:27This is information overload.
43:29That is mental.
43:30I'm just like...
43:31In shock.
43:32That was not the plan.
43:33And like, it wasn't even something we'd like give thought to.
43:35When you're doing it, I know all of a sudden it's like, it's on me.
43:39But I don't even know if I can like have sex with you.
43:40Hmm.
43:41It's hard now.
43:42I don't know.
43:43It's hard now.
43:44I don't know if I can like have sex with you.
43:45Hmm.
43:46It's hard now.
43:47It's hard now.
44:02It's all right now.
44:26Mark is getting cosy in the yurt with six female residents.
44:32Meanwhile, partner Tanith's feet remain firmly on the ground.
44:36It is very nerve-wracking, but everyone's so lovely.
44:39No, I know. It's just overwhelming, but it's just us.
44:43It's just so free and happy and, you know, just excited to be here and be involved.
44:48Kind of got a good vibe from all the people,
44:50but I don't think there's that kind of romantic spark.
44:54Yeah, it's just been quite, you know, getting to know everyone.
44:58I think that one's yours.
45:01Is that mine? Oh, thank you.
45:02Sorry, what do you do for work?
45:03I've got my own business and I do, like, dog walking.
45:05Really? Do you not ever just get pulled over?
45:08I'm quite strong.
45:10I think Tanith is great.
45:13She's got loads of energy, bubbly.
45:16I would look to explore it further.
45:18So, my strength is giving.
45:20I normally just give, okay?
45:22So, that's kind of my thing.
45:24If that was something that would interest you,
45:27did you want to, like, continue this,
45:30maybe somewhere a bit more private, or...?
45:36I guess our vibe's not, like, the same,
45:38but, like, I think you're, like, top bad, honestly.
45:41Like, it really is literally too tall to you, like...
45:43Yeah, no worries.
45:45Do you think you can handle all of us?
45:52Pffft.
45:54What about what do you girls think?
45:58Do you girls always think you can handle me?
46:00Yeah.
46:01I don't know.
46:02I think the girls that would like to handle you, to be honest.
46:05Didn't expect it'd be going like this,
46:07but I'm just kind of going with flow,
46:09and, you know, if everybody's comfortable and happy,
46:11then, you know, what will be, will be.
46:13I have a proposition.
46:15I think we can all kiss,
46:17to make you a little bit more...
46:20Relaxed.
46:21Yes.
46:22Oh, she's going in.
46:29Frenchie.
46:32As Mark's night intensifies...

46:39I'm gonna head up, but it's been lovely.
46:41I'm sad to see you all go, but I'll see you.
46:44I'll see you all, hopefully, too.
46:45Give us a hug.
46:46I just decided to call it a night, really,
46:48because I didn't feel that sexual chemistry,
46:50that connection with anyone, to, like, go any further.
46:57You're so cute.
46:58You're so cute.
47:02Oh, it smells so good.
47:03What is that?
47:04Really good.
47:05It's great.
47:06You've got to recognize it.
47:09I don't know what Mark's been up to.
47:10I think if I thought about that, it would be...
47:13Yeah, no.
47:14Yeah, no.
47:25Yeah, I'll say to you, girls.
47:26I'm sorry.
47:27Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
