00:0012 virgins have travelled to a paradise island to take part in a unique experiment.
00:13The word virgin, people see it as a joke. It's quite obsessing.
00:20I'm 23, still a virgin. I feel like there's something wrong with me.
00:25In a world where sex is everywhere.
00:28My God.
00:28Terrified.
00:29Absolutely terrified.
00:31The truth is surprising. There are more adult virgins than ever.
00:36Being a young adult in this day and age, it's difficult.
00:39Social media.
00:40Dating apps.
00:41Influencers.
00:41TV shows.
00:42Porn.
00:43Porn.
00:43Porn.
00:43Porn.
00:44Porn is everywhere.
00:45Are you self-conscious about our genitals touching each other?
00:48Now?
00:49Yeah.
00:51This radical retreat is offering a very hands-on solution.
00:56Oh, hell.
00:57She's a miracle worker.
00:59Oh, God, yes.
01:00Overseen by a group of experts.
01:02Yeah.
01:03Like that?
01:04I like that.
01:05Ready to do anything to help Britain's virgins.
01:09There's the clitoris. Do you have any questions?
01:13Lose the one thing.
01:16Don't make me nervous.
01:17They feel is holding them back.
01:19I would love to have sex with you.
01:21I do feel like there's a barrier between me and sex.
01:23I want to lose my virginity. It's now or never.
01:28But when the moment arrives.
01:30Would you like to move to bed?
01:32Who will be ready?
01:35I just don't want anyone to touch me.
01:37To go all the way.
01:41You're so sexy.
01:50The last few days on Virgin Island.
01:53Saw a focus on intimate touch.
01:56Was I watching a porno?
01:58We can explore the things that you came here to explore.
02:01It made Taylor, who identifies as bisexual.
02:04I'm scared.
02:05Confused about her feelings.
02:07Sorry, can I just have one minute?
02:11And when Ben.
02:13What's it feel like to you?
02:14Bewitching.
02:15Fell under Charlotte's spell.
02:17Yeah, I'll do it over.
02:18He was rejected.
02:20This is my friend, but I'm not interested.
02:24Now, as they enter the next phase.
02:26Things are hotting up.
02:27That felt good.
02:29Confidence is really key to this group of people.
02:32And I am ready to make them be able to look in someone's eyes.
02:36And just go after what they want.
02:39Feels nice.
02:50Good morning.
02:51Morning.
02:52It's another day on Virgin Island.
02:55Oh, here we go.
02:56And the start of a new two-day phase of the course.
03:02The next phase of the course is all about confidence.
03:10Everything here is making me nervous.
03:12So, yeah, just another one in a long line of,
03:15wow, what does this mean?
03:17God.
03:19I'm confident in my intelligence, I'm confident as a person.
03:22But I'm not confident about believing that people want me in that way.
03:26Especially after what happened with Charlotte.
03:28I just feel like I'm not good enough.
03:30So, I think this is going to be tough for me.
03:34Confidence.
03:35I think I'm confident when I'm someone else, most of the time.
03:38That's why I do drama and all that.
03:40There are times where I just don't want to chat to anyone
03:42because I just hate myself.
03:43I'm just like, I don't want to talk to anyone.
03:45I just don't want to chat to anyone because I just hate myself so much.
03:47But I wouldn't even get on the bus
03:49because I didn't want to talk to the bus driver.
03:51So, I just walk everywhere.
03:52So, I need confidence and hopefully this place will give it to me.
04:01Oh, they're all down there already.
04:01Look at that.
04:03Bunch of hippies.
04:04Good morning.
04:07Celeste and Danielle's first group workshop
04:10will test how ready the group are to banish embarrassment.
04:16We are moving into the next phase.
04:19Confidence.
04:20If you're walking in the world and you're feeling kind of shut down,
04:23you're not going to be attractive.
04:25But really accepting yourself for who you are,
04:28you're going to be more attractive.
04:34They've all prepared a dating or rejection story from their past,
04:38which has destroyed their confidence.
04:40So, you're going to take turns to share your rejection story.
04:45Who wants to come first?
04:53I'll go.
04:54All right.
04:56First up, drama graduate Tom.
05:01Being a virgin's definitely affected my confidence.
05:05In school, I felt like socially I wasn't developing enough.
05:10As well as all my other classmates.
05:12They were all going out, drinking in the park,
05:16having fun and all those sort of things.
05:18I was a bit of a goody two-shoes
05:20and I felt like I was trailing behind everyone else in the end.
05:24I always have a voice on my shoulder,
05:26always telling me that I'm not good enough.
05:30So, my story takes place third year uni.
05:33I'd just received a message from a former friend
05:37and we started chatting more and more.
05:40It felt like it was getting a little bit flirty,
05:42so I invited her down to my place for my housemate's birthday.
05:45Got to the club.
05:47I thought I was going to make my move there.
05:49I introduced her to my housemate.
05:51So, I went to the bar and when I turned around,
05:54bringing drinks for making out with each other.
05:59Revealing their most vulnerable moments to the group
06:02is only half of the process.
06:04So, each person is going to say their biggest rejection
06:08and then immediately getting feedback that you are lovable,
06:12that you are attractive.
06:14There's something that shifts in your brain
06:16when you do all of that at the same time.
06:20Standing up for Tom is Taylor.
06:23I think in that story,
06:24she was in the wrong for playing with your emotions like that.
06:26You're a really lovely person.
06:28You need to remember that and she sucks.
06:31She sucks.
06:39As well as rejection.
06:42I stayed over at her house and it was almost this unspoken expectation
06:46that there would be sex.
06:48Not being ready for sex.
06:49I was so nervous about doing something wrong that I just shut down.
06:54I just wasn't ready.
06:56And running away.
06:58He says to me,
06:59so, are we going to go all the way?
07:01And I just, yeah, I think I just got the fear.
07:05A recurring theme.
07:06We're in bed.
07:07He started saying he didn't believe that I was a virgin.
07:11He was quite persistent like I was lying.
07:14I haven't seen anyone since that
07:15just because now I feel like I don't want to put myself in that position.
07:20But...
07:22Then you should be proud of yourself that
07:24you didn't feel like you had to go all the way
07:26and the right person will come to you when it's right for you.
07:31Celeste and Danielle believe that together.
07:34You're just so smiling.
07:35You make everybody else smile
07:37and also he's a dick as well.
07:41They can change.
07:44Being able to get the antidote,
07:46like get the medicine,
07:47is so crucial and it builds so much confidence.
07:52Each story also gives the experts clues on individual needs
07:56to resolve their issue with intimacy.
08:01Last is Taylor,
08:02who since coming out as bisexual at university
08:06has never had a positive encounter with women or men.
08:09I was dancing with some friends
08:10and one of my friends was like,
08:11that boy's making eyes at you.
08:13And pointed out a quite good looking lad on the dance floor
08:16and I was like, okay.
08:18And then one of them went, he's coming over
08:19and I hid behind her and said,
08:21dance me to the stairs so I can get out.
08:24And I just remembered I was almost at the stairs
08:26and I'm crouched over and the crowds parted
08:30and the lights flashed for a second.
08:32I looked straight into this guy's eyes like
08:35and my heart just dropped and I saw his face like.
08:38So it was one of those moments
08:40where I was always expecting to be rejected.
08:45You're really nice, fantastic, pretty
08:48and it's really nice seeing how you coming out of your shell,
08:50but you was always out of your shell, out more.
08:53Yeah, you're amazing.
08:58I just really want to applaud your bravery
09:01and your vulnerability to every one of you here.
09:13I felt really awkward.
09:14I didn't mind sharing my story.
09:15It didn't like being told that was nice.
09:17Yeah, I know.
09:18Suffer from quite a lot of like self-doubt and paranoia.
09:22I think self-confidence is different for everyone
09:24and for me, I usually just try and fake it till I make it.
09:32Are you okay?
09:36I just feel a bit like other...
09:41I still feel like they're trying to get to grips with me.
09:46I thought with Taylor, it was such like a running away story.
09:49You kind of picture her hiding behind someone else.
09:51She's backing away and it was like,
09:52what is happening here?
09:53It's happening.
09:54Yeah, it seemed like she was so afraid of connection
09:57that she just couldn't even bear the thought of it.
09:59Yeah.
10:02I do feel like there's a barrier between me and sex.
10:05Like I've been on nights out where you're like,
10:07I'm going to do it.
10:08I'm going to have that one night stand
10:09and you meet someone and they want to take you back to their place
10:12and then you hit this wall and you just think, I can't.
10:16When you see like people in love,
10:18it is a lot that you're missing out on
10:21and I can't have what everyone else gets to have.
10:26After a string of failed encounters with men
10:29and an unsuccessful session with male surrogate Andre,
10:33could a different approach help?
10:37So I just want to say I'm kind of taking over for Andre.
10:40OK.
10:40How does it feel?
10:41A lot calmer, weirdly.
10:43Because when Andre, really lovely,
10:45wanted to be his best friend
10:46but like just didn't want to like have any kind of sexual contact.
10:52Do you want to move into some body work?
10:54Yeah.
10:55Yeah.
10:56So I just want you to bring awareness into your feet.
11:01Noticing any tension that you feel.
11:06Kat wants Taylor to concentrate
11:09on how it feels to be touched by a woman.
11:12And we'll move to the ankles and the lower legs.
11:21Sorry.
11:22No, no, don't apologize.
11:23It's OK.
11:23It's OK.
11:24No, no, don't apologize.
11:25It's OK.
11:28Is it like, does it feel like a release?
11:30Does it feel, yeah?
11:31OK.
11:34It's just such a relief to not feel scared at all.
11:38That's amazing.
11:49It feels so silly.
11:51No, why?
11:52This will like wasted my own time and everyone else's for so long.
11:58No.
11:59By feeling uncertain?
12:02Yeah.
12:18Yeah.
12:19I think that's enough for today.
12:26After years of confusion,
12:27it's the breakthrough Taylor's been looking for.
12:30I always thought I was bi,
12:32but being here and having to like kind of confront it.
12:35Yeah.
12:35I think I might not like men, like at all.
12:40OK.
12:40And how does it feel to like sit with it and own it?
12:43It feels good to own it, but it's also really scary.
12:46It is really scary.
12:47Yeah.
12:49Yeah.
12:53Oh, God, finally.
12:56Yay.
12:57I'm so excited.
12:58This feels so good.
13:00It feels so good.
13:01Good cry.
13:02Yeah.
13:04Thank you so much.
13:05I really appreciate it.
13:09I'm just gay and I think I've been deluding myself into like,
13:13no, I like men as well because that's normal and good.
13:16But like, I didn't feel scared.
13:19That felt really good.
13:25Hello.
13:26So how was your one-on-one session you did?
13:28I went to my one-to-one session.
13:30How was it? Good?
13:31It was with Kat and it was the best one I've had.
13:34Oh, really?
13:34And I'm definitely gay.
13:37Oh, no, thank you.
13:40What a breakthrough.
13:41I know, I missed it all fucking week.
13:44Oh, we love you, Taylor.
13:47I feel like now I can get more out of the retreat
13:50because I know kind of what I want
13:52and I'm not pretending that I want other things just to fit in.
14:08Would you sell your virginity?
14:09I would.
14:10I've considered it before.
14:13What would you sell your virginity for?
14:14I'd say a couple hundred plus.
14:17I'd do it for a tenner and a packet of donuts.
14:19Different for boys.
14:20What about your anal virginity?
14:22No, no, that's the same.
14:25That's his boundary.
14:26Yeah, that's my boundary.
14:27At least one million pounds.
14:31It's the first afternoon of the confidence phase at the retreat.
14:35What language do lesbians speak?
14:37What?
14:38Gaelic.
14:41What do you call a lesbian dinosaur?
14:43Don't know.
14:44Like a lot of puss?
14:45Ah, yeah, that one.
14:49After helping Taylor find her true self,
14:51Celeste and Danielle have left something for the boys
14:54to see if any of them have the confidence to explore their identities too.
14:58Do you want a pamper, Tom?
14:59I would love a pamper, to be fair.
15:01What, do you want a face mask?
15:02Um, I'd be up for any of it.
15:04Mascara, lipstick.
15:06Tough.
15:11This is an exercise that helps people lower their inhibitions.
15:15Welcome to Emma's salon.
15:17Society can give young men such a narrow view of masculinity,
15:20so we really wanted to help them start to get past some of those myths.
15:25How do you feel now?
15:26Relaxed?
15:27Like I'm being operated on.
15:30Although Ben isn't made up with the makeup.
15:33I wanted it to look like good and natural, not drag queen.
15:36That's right, I can be a drag queen.
15:40Tom is in the pink.
15:41He looks like a nice young German boy.
15:46I've never had a girlfriend in my life, no.
15:48Sometimes I come across quite camp.
15:51I'll go out to the club and I'll start slut dropping.
15:54I'll start singing along to Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Bit Abba.
15:59Um, but a lot of people didn't quite know how to differentiate between camp and being gay,
16:04so they kind of saw them as one as the same.
16:06You trust me, yeah?
16:07Why are you holding it like that?
16:10Oh my God.
16:12I want to lose my virginity,
16:14but people just aren't interested in someone who doesn't have confidence in themselves.
16:20That ain't bad.
16:21That's not bad, come on.
16:22It feels so wrong yet so right.
16:25Made up, the boys have engaged with their soft side,
16:28but now the experts want them to reinforce their strengths too
16:32and try to get good with wood.
16:36Has anyone felt an emotion and they were afraid to show it
16:39because of what someone else might think?
16:43Yeah.
16:46But today, we're going to get to let those emotions out.
16:49So we're letting go of the emotion as the axe splits the wood.
16:53Just tune into some primal emotion in your body.
16:57All right, it feels like they'd like to go first.
17:00Go Dave.
17:01Dave, that's all right.
17:05All right, thank you.
17:10Yes, good job, Dave.
17:15Yeah, yeah, oh.
17:18Yeah, yeah.
17:20Yeah.
17:22Yeah.
17:24Yeah.
17:26Not only are they letting out some raw emotion.
17:28Yeah, good job, bro.
17:30Yeah.
17:32Oh, that was bad.
17:34For 25-year-old Viraj, it's a lesson in resilience.
17:36Oh, my God.
17:38Go on, you got this.
17:40I'm going to go for it.
17:42I'm going to go for it.
17:44Oh, my God.
17:46Go on, you got this.
17:50Yeah.
17:52Good job, Viraj.
18:00How was the chopping?
18:02Oh, I sucked. That was the worst.
18:04Man chop wood.
18:06Man use axe.
18:08Getting manly has left many of the boys on a high.
18:10Man talk to girls.
18:12Man break wind.
18:16Are you desperately trying to get your nail varnish off?
18:18Yes.
18:20Have you taken yours off?
18:22No, I might just stick it out.
18:24I think it's about trying to be in touch with your emotions
18:26rather than letting it all boil up inside of you.
18:28Do you think it worked?
18:30I'm still a virgin, so not yet.
18:36To try and change that.
18:38So I'll just be touching all over your body
18:40but not your genitals.
18:42The experts believe Dave's ready
18:45to start the island's most advanced treatment,
18:47surrogate partner therapy.
18:49How are you feeling?
18:51Good.
18:53Yeah?
18:55Yeah.
18:57It was really nice.
18:59It felt natural and enjoyable.
19:01It's given me
19:03a massive confidence boost.
19:05Meanwhile...
19:07I'd like to just
19:09go into an experience of connecting
19:11with your body.
19:13OK, I'll try that.
19:15Jason's lessons on how to hug
19:17are moving up a step.
19:19You can touch me in a way that feels good to you.
19:21It's amazing.
19:25Let me see what you notice.
19:27Yeah.
19:29Isn't it terrible?
19:31It is.
19:35Across the island,
19:37the make-up session has raised more questions
19:39than answers for Tom.
19:42I really enjoyed the wood shopping,
19:44doing the whole make-up thing.
19:46I really enjoyed that.
19:48It just felt like a lot of things
19:50about gender coming into it.
19:52I just feel a bit
19:54weird, I think.
19:58The experts have noticed
20:00a change in Tom too.
20:02So they're sending him for a session with Kat
20:04to see if she can find out
20:06what's really going on.
20:08Because so many people over the years
20:10I've kind of started to question
20:12my own sexuality sometimes.
20:14For a while I saw myself as a closeted bisexual.
20:16But one of the prerequisites
20:18of being bisexual
20:20is you have to like men.
20:22I didn't like men that way.
20:24But I want to learn more about myself
20:26and my own battles with identity.
20:28There's just so many things
20:30which have made me question that.
20:34How are you doing?
20:36Not so great today, I'd say.
20:38Just struggling a little bit, I think.
20:40Yeah.
20:42I think just working out my place,
20:44how I fit into things,
20:46dynamic,
20:48being part of the men or the women
20:50or whatever,
20:52that sort of stuff.
20:54I really enjoyed putting make-up on
20:56and it feels like...
20:58Is it?
21:00Yeah, it's OK.
21:02No, I don't want to do this.
21:04It's OK.
21:07Is that tissue?
21:09Yeah.
21:13Thanks.
21:23I don't think I'm quite the full
21:25masculine side of things,
21:27I do think.
21:29I am slightly more masculine leaning
21:31but I don't think I'm fully
21:33man.
21:35I'm not too sure.
21:37Yeah.
21:39Does it feel scary to step into the feminine?
21:41It's scary
21:43because I don't know what to label myself as.
21:45Non-binary is quite...
21:47I don't know.
21:49It feels quite scary.
21:51I'm not sure it is a total fit for me either.
21:53I want you to try as much as you can
21:55to
21:57pause from naming things,
22:01ground it in the body a little bit
22:04and just pay attention to how you feel.
22:06Yeah.
22:10See you soon.
22:12Yeah, see you soon.
22:14I'm not sure I'm totally happy within at the moment
22:16but that's because I've brought up a lot of stuff
22:18that I'm going to work through
22:20but I'm definitely in a happier mindset, let's say.
22:22Yeah, Holly, guess what?
22:24What?
22:26I'm a lesbian.
22:28What's up?
22:30Morning.
22:32Ready to go today, guys.
22:34Away.
22:36It's day two
22:38of the confidence phase of the course.
22:40Morning, Dave.
22:42You all right?
22:44Yeah, morning.
22:46How are you?
22:48Good.
22:51Morning, Dave. You all right?
22:53Yeah, morning.
22:55This is all I want in life, a good cup of tea.
22:57I'm struggling a little bit with confidence
22:59but I think it's just taking those little steps
23:01for me and I'm really hoping
23:03that I can build up myself
23:05and build up my confidence.
23:07That's exactly what Celeste
23:09and Danielle plan to do next
23:11with a lesson on the foundation
23:13of all romance, dating.
23:15Oh, cheers.
23:17Oh, we're going on a date.
23:19Oh, my God.
23:21I've been on so many dates, this is amazing.
23:23Yeah, it should be.
23:33So we're going to talk about the skills
23:35of a great date.
23:37All the skills that we need to have
23:39in order to have great relationships
23:41are just skills.
23:43You want to learn them
23:45and practice them.
23:48Celeste and Danielle have a rule
23:50of three dating skills.
23:52The first one is giving an in-the-moment compliment.
23:54Like, I really love
23:56the way your eyes twinkle when you smile.
23:58You know, something that really feels
24:00like you're connecting with a person.
24:02The second one is to be able
24:04to both give and recognise the look.
24:06And the look means,
24:08I'm ready now, I'm ready to be kissed.
24:10And then finally, the third skill
24:12is the lean-in for the kiss.
24:14So we're going to do a little demo
24:16and then you're going to have opportunities to practice.
24:18And in this case,
24:20practice means role play.
24:22I'm so glad we finally got here,
24:24it's been a lot of planning.
24:26I know, right? Yeah.
24:28So, do you like to travel?
24:30Oh, my God, I love travelling.
24:32Travelling is really my passion.
24:34Where's your favourite place?
24:36Wow, I can't think about anything now.
24:40I can just listen to that laugh
24:43all day long.
24:45You're embarrassing me a little bit.
24:47But I like it too.
24:49So that's an in-the-moment?
24:51Uh-huh. Do you see flirting
24:53was going on all the time?
24:55Yeah?
24:57You are giving me the look.
24:59I was also getting it
25:01from you, I think.
25:03Mmm.
25:09Mmm.
25:13Such a good kisser.
25:17OK.
25:19You are each other's practice buddies
25:21and that's really going to help you.
25:23The more you practice, the more it's just going to be like,
25:25oh, this is normal, this is just what I do.
25:27That's confidence, right?
25:29Who wants to...
25:31Yay, come on up, Emma!
25:33I wouldn't really say I've actually ever
25:35been on a date in my life.
25:37Who else?
25:39I'll do it. Yay!
25:41It's hard to kind of open myself up to that world
25:43where I've had such a block on it
25:45for so long.
25:47Hello.
25:49How are you? OK?
25:51Very good. Did you enjoy the show?
25:53Yeah, I did, yeah.
25:55What did you like the best?
25:57That you put me on the spot.
25:59I like how you
26:01get lost
26:03in your thoughts there.
26:05Always, always get lost.
26:07Somewhere else.
26:10I like that you noticed that.
26:12Very observant.
26:28That was phenomenal.
26:30Any tips for Zach on how he could even...
26:32I need the tips.
26:34Maybe if you just took care
26:36of the hand a little bit more
26:38and just pay attention to how it feels on your skin.
26:40Yeah, OK.
26:42Just slow down and...
26:44Make sure that it's the right level.
26:46Yeah.
26:48Great job, Zach.
26:50That was beautiful.
26:52After Zach and Emma's masterclass...
26:54A fully-nude cafe.
26:56Bold choice for our first date.
27:00The others step up to the dating plate.
27:02I'm a bush driver.
27:04Do you enjoy it?
27:07No.
27:09Do you want to just try giving her the look?
27:11That was it.
27:13The eyebrows.
27:17I just want to see if you're catching it.
27:19No, I didn't catch it.
27:21I wanted to start paying attention to those things.
27:33It's nice talking to you.
27:37Wow.
27:43Last to take the plunge is serial dater Ben,
27:45who, despite having over 40 dates,
27:47has always been unlucky in love.
27:53What's stopped me from taking it to the next level
27:55with a lot of these dates I've been on,
27:57I think it's just lack of experience and lack of success
27:59at reading social signals.
28:01I tend to play it safe.
28:03And I think for guys like me who just struggle with that,
28:05making the move and reading the signs,
28:07it's very hard.
28:11Who want to try it with Ben?
28:23Did I get to do it?
28:25Good, because this will be our second date.
28:27Yeah.
28:31Well, it's good to see you again, Celeste.
28:34It's good to see you too.
28:36What job do you do?
28:38I coach people to have more intimacy
28:40and connection with each other.
28:50I like your glasses.
28:54They suit you.
28:56When you get all into the experience,
28:58you're really beautiful.
29:12Despite Celeste's flirting,
29:16being rejected by the group has hurt Ben.
29:20So tonight, you're going to have
29:22another opportunity to show Ben
29:25that you have another opportunity
29:27to just practice skills building.
29:29As you'll all be going on practice dates with each other,
29:31you'll learn so much
29:33and give each other so much from that experience.
29:39Holly, how was my kissing skills out of 10?
29:41Solid 9.5.
29:43It was really good.
29:47What did everyone think of that session?
29:49It was fine.
29:51I enjoyed it.
29:53Tell me how you found the workshop.
29:55Crap.
29:59Awful.
30:01I didn't like it.
30:03I got up and no one wanted to do it with me.
30:05The ironic thing is
30:07the confidence section,
30:09which I knew would be hard,
30:11has probably wrecked my confidence.
30:13Hello.
30:15Hello.
30:17For Ben, it's yet another setback.
30:19You OK?
30:22It basically shattered my confidence.
30:24And he's not the only one struggling.
30:26I walked out the workshop feeling worse.
30:28Oh, really?
30:30What's wrong with you today?
30:34I don't know.
30:38The experts feel something is holding Emma back.
30:40And now they want to find out what it is.
30:44How are you feeling?
30:46I'm feeling...
30:48all right.
30:50It's hard, isn't it,
30:52when I care for other people.
30:54It's hard to think about myself.
30:56You actually have to not so much worry
30:58and take care of everybody else.
31:00What does it feel like to just say,
31:02what about me?
31:04That doesn't feel natural.
31:06Of course, it's the opposite of the habit.
31:08You OK? Everybody OK?
31:10What about me?
31:12See if you can say it with them.
31:14What about me?
31:16Let me do it a little bit stronger now.
31:19What about me?
31:21Yeah.
31:23You deserve to be angry, like, what about you?
31:25You know what I mean?
31:27It's your turn.
31:29Yeah, OK.
31:31Ah!
31:33A little bit.
31:35Ah!
31:37What about me?
31:39Yes!
31:41What about me?
31:43Yeah, what about me?
31:45What about me?
31:47I'm going to need to punch him back in a minute.
31:49No, no.
31:51Oh, my God, yes.
31:53That's all I've ever wanted you to say.
31:57OK, right, let me strip off.
31:59Oh, God, OK.
32:01I'm going to push it out.
32:03What about me? And then punch it.
32:05Yeah, yes. What about me?
32:07What about me?
32:09Yeah, more.
32:11This is my body.
32:13What about me?
32:16You think I'm a piece of shit?
32:18And fuck everyone who's taken my kindness for weakness.
32:20Yes!
32:22It's all about me.
32:24It's all about you!
32:26Fuck you, fuck you.
32:28Yeah!
32:34The exercise stirs up old emotion.
32:38When I was seven I did have a really horrific incident
32:42with another child of them touching me inappropriately.
32:45It kind of shut me off and brought up this fear of sex.
32:51And that was so horrible.
32:54So I want to move past that horrific experience.
32:59But it is so difficult. It's like a piece of glass.
33:03You can shatter some glass.
33:05But even if you put it back together,
33:07it will never be the same again.
33:10Just imagine little Emma looking up at you and saying,
33:13thank you so much.
33:15Thank you for looking out for me
33:20and being the strong, independent woman
33:23that I always wanted to be.
33:27You should be proud of yourself because you're
33:29so stronger than you think and wiser than you know.
33:32Shh.
33:33Shh.
33:43How'd it go?
33:44A really good session.
33:45I feel like Celeste released a new energy inside me
33:48that I didn't realise I had.
33:50Right now, I feel on top of the world.
33:51I feel like a brand new, complete version of Emma.
33:58I'm not going to let people's negative input impact me.
34:03I feel like now I'm more open to forming new connections,
34:07which I haven't taken before.
34:11It's not just Emma who's feeling like a new person.
34:14After his session with Kat yesterday,
34:16Tom has been reflecting on gender identity.
34:18I think my next step is I probably
34:20will tell some more people about my gender fluidity.
34:23So I don't constantly have a sort of barrier up all the time.
34:27I'm not hiding a part of myself anymore,
34:29which I'm constantly having to do here at the moment.
34:32You want to sit here?
34:32Yes.
34:33After her own issues around identity,
34:36Tom decides to confide in Taylor.
34:41Coming here, I've been learning a lot more about my own identity.
34:44I found that as well.
34:47Really puts it into perspective.
34:48It does, 100%.
34:50When I had my makeup put on me, and then I had to take it off,
34:54and I felt a bit, oh, no.
34:56I really wanted to keep that on.
34:57You did say that.
34:58It got me thinking a lot about my own sort of identity.
35:01I'm not sure.
35:02I think if gender is on the spectrum,
35:05I'd say I'm exactly between he, him, and they, them.
35:09Yes, so masculine, but not real.
35:12Yeah.
35:12Do you still identify as straight?
35:14Like, you like girls?
35:15Yes, I still very much like women.
35:17There's no matter, like, who I go to bed with,
35:20it's like who I go to bed as.
35:22Yeah, of course.
35:23Who do you go to bed as?
35:24Yeah.
35:25How exciting.
35:26Yay.
35:26How exciting.
35:32It's late afternoon on Virgin Island.
35:35You all right?
35:36What's up?
35:36And this evening, the group will pair up for date night.
35:40So how are we going to do this today?
35:42Is this my first proper date?
35:43Do I class this as a date?
35:45We can make it a date.
35:46We'll see how, we'll see what happens.
35:48One thing I don't want it to be is
35:50I don't want it to be awkward.
35:51Why would it be awkward?
35:52I don't know.
35:52I feel like I'm just an awkward person.
35:53No, you might fall in love after this.
35:55Really?
35:57Maybe.
35:58Maybe.
35:58Sometimes when you look at me, I do feel like,
36:00are you just looking at me, like, randomly?
36:02Or are you looking at me?
36:04Maybe I'm overthinking it.
36:06Why do you just look at me like that?
36:09Oh, Emma.
36:11After her session with Celeste, Emma's newfound positivity
36:14is taking effect.
36:16Did you realise, like, my dream woman
36:18will have to be someone who, like, goes to India
36:20and then has that dream wedding?
36:21Oh my god, yeah.
36:22You would look really good in a sari.
36:23No, I actually would love that.
36:25That's like the classic.
36:26What colour would my dress be?
36:28Like red?
36:29Yeah, I picture a red.
36:31Really?
36:32Yeah, I picture a red.
36:33I don't know if a red would suit me.
36:35I think it would.
36:36I think any colour would suit you.
36:37Why not?
36:37Oh my god.
36:50Now she's opened the floodgates.
36:52Woo!
36:54Yeah!
36:55Emma's letting herself go.
36:57Even went through to the second layer.
36:59Later, we'll all pose for a calendar.
37:01Yeah.
37:04And so are the boys.
37:06What do you guys, like, like?
37:08What do you mean?
37:09What do you like?
37:10But that's such a weird question.
37:11How do you want to have sex?
37:12What do you mean?
37:12I know what I want.
37:13I want to feel powerful.
37:14I mean, yeah, I'd like it if a girl
37:16rides on top of me, sure.
37:18I would like to be dominated.
37:19I think that's what I like.
37:20You like that?
37:20Yeah.
37:21That's interesting.
37:22But that's because I'm, like, a shy virgin.
37:24I think I want something really boring, like Michelin.
37:27That's me.
37:29After being rejected earlier,
37:30the confidence phase of the cast has yet to help Ben.
37:34I think what's scary about the whole approaching somebody
37:37in real life is the prospect of rejection.
37:39It's just awkward.
37:40Ben struggles to turn dates from the vertical
37:43to the horizontal.
37:45So the experts want to see if they can teach him how.
37:49Coming out of this and feeling confident
37:50is why I'm doing it.
37:54Let's get a little closer.
37:56And just so our hands are touching,
38:00your job is to stay present with the touch.
38:03How do I make the first move, the first physical move?
38:05Because that's quite a big step,
38:06and something you always worry about.
38:07If there is a moment that you feel a connection,
38:10but you might just look at her and be like,
38:13you're so cute, you know?
38:19Like that?
38:20Yeah.
38:21Yeah, it has to feel like it's time, though.
38:24Naturally.
38:25Yeah.
38:25When you're confident, that's one
38:27of the most important things.
38:31With the basics covered, Ben takes the giant leap
38:34to the bed.
38:39That's nice.
38:46It's really nice, Ben.
38:52Yeah.
38:54Slowly, Ben's confidence seems to be rising.
39:02And whatever you do, don't try to get it right.
39:06There's no getting it right.
39:07There's only exploring.
39:12Squeeze me if that helps you to feel more of me.
39:24See you soon.
39:26What I found most helpful is that she
39:28can get more in the moment.
39:30I just feel like I'm a lot more confident going
39:32into these sort of situations now.
39:37After Ben's confidence boost, the whole group
39:42get themselves ready for date night.
39:46This feels a bigger deal than I thought it was going to be.
39:48Ooh, a tie.
39:50You're looking good, baby.
39:51You all look good.
39:52Yeah.
39:53Yeah.
39:53Yeah.
39:54Yeah.
39:54Yeah.
39:55Yeah.
39:55Yeah.
39:56Yeah.
39:56Yeah.
39:57Yeah.
39:57You look good.
39:58Yeah.
39:58Who knew virgins could be so sexy?
40:00Thanks.
40:00Mm-mm.
40:01Mm-mm.
40:01Mm-mm.
40:02Thanks a lot.
40:02Thanks.
40:05Ooh, lovely.
40:07The experts have paired them up ready to test their date
40:10skills.
40:10This is nice.
40:11This is nice.
40:13Ladies first.
40:14So kind.
40:16And they've hit the island's most romantic spot.
40:19There you go, my lady.
40:20Thank you very much.
40:21There you go.
40:22You look lovely.
40:23Oh, thank you.
40:25I was worried I'd be overdressed, and I was like,
40:27I was worried about the same thing.
40:28Having come out as gay, Taylor's dating expert, Ayesha,
40:33giving Ben the chance to carry on where he left off with Josh.
40:36How have you been since we last met?
40:39Yeah, fine.
40:40Waiting for you.
40:41You're late.
40:43I hope this is vodka.
40:45So do I, actually.
40:47Cheers.
40:47As they sit down to chat up.
40:50Nice to meet you.
40:51Nice to meet you.
40:52They must remember Celeste and Danielle's three steps
40:55of dating.
40:57I wanted to know, actually, what's it like in Glasgow?
41:00Is it just full of Frankie Boyle posters?
41:03Yeah.
41:03He's actually our mascot.
41:09What state did you grow up in?
41:10Florida.
41:11Oh, Florida.
41:12I would never would have guessed.
41:13Really?
41:13Apparently, Florida people are crazy.
41:16Does that mean you're crazy?
41:18I think I am a little.
41:20We may be about to get rained on.
41:22You don't like getting wet?
41:24I thought that was your whole thing.
41:26Wow.
41:29I appreciate that.
41:30I appreciate you taking it sexual.
41:34Step one, giving an in-the-moment compliment.
41:38You look nice.
41:39Thanks.
41:39You look very nice.
41:40How nice?
41:40Out of 10?
41:4210.
41:44Not to say.
41:45Me, right?
41:47Short of some dolphins.
41:49I like how rosy your cheeks are.
41:52The one thing I hate about myself.
41:54Is it?
41:54Yeah.
41:55Oh, well, I'm glad I brought it up, then.
42:00You've got very nice earrings.
42:01You like them?
42:02Yeah.
42:03My friend made them.
42:04You've definitely got a good fashion sense.
42:05Yeah.
42:06Better than I've got.
42:07Thank you so much.
42:08All these compliments, I don't know what to do with them all.
42:12Step two is the look.
42:14I've practiced the look.
42:15I've practiced the look.
42:16Oh, yes.
42:16OK.
42:17I'm going to feel my energy.
42:18OK, give me the look.
42:19I'm going to turn away and look back at you.
42:21OK, we're going to turn away.
42:22OK.
42:25Oh, God damn it.
42:28Finally followed by the kiss.
42:31You're a beautiful girl.
42:32Oh, stop it.
42:33You really are.
42:34You're a beautiful guy, inside and out.
42:39But for one couple.
42:41My niche is weight loss.
42:42I like your motivation to want to do personal training
42:44and want to help other people.
42:46Yeah.
42:46I like that about you.
42:47Thanks.
42:48Date practice is perfect.
42:51You OK?
42:52I'm good.
42:53You sure?
42:54Yeah, I'm all right.
42:56Does that make you nervous?
42:57A little bit.
42:58A little bit.
42:58You don't need to be nervous.
43:01I need to try to be a bit more confident with women.
43:03My family and our Hindu culture still
43:06believe in arranged marriages.
43:08I don't see that as a bad thing, but I just
43:10don't think I'd ever put myself in that position.
43:14Once I'm a lot more confident in myself,
43:15I think the type of path I want to go down
43:17will be love marriage.
43:18But if I don't put myself out there,
43:20it definitely won't happen.
43:23Do you want to shake hands?
43:24Sure, let's do it.
43:26I'm just going to.
43:27I have cold hands, though.
43:28No, it's OK.
43:29They're OK.
43:29You have nice hands, though.
43:33You've got nice skin.
43:34I feel like I've gotten darker by being here more.
43:36To be honest, you actually have.
43:37But you're a nice colour.
43:44You OK?
43:45Yeah, I'm all right.
43:45You OK?
43:46Yeah, I'm good.
43:46I'm all good.
43:47Yeah?
43:47Yeah.
43:48Look, you can tell how cold I am, because I
43:50was going a bit purple.
43:51Yeah.
43:51You are going a bit purple, aren't you?
43:53Maybe you can warm them up for me.
43:55You want me to warm up for you?
43:56Yeah.
43:56I'll give you a little peg.
43:58Yeah, go on.
44:00Beautiful.
44:01How was that?
44:02Yeah, lovely.
44:03Yeah?
44:03Good for you?
44:04Of course.
44:05Good.
44:06We got on quite well.
44:07And I'm just looking forward to getting to know him more.
44:10I don't know whether it could be a bit romantic,
44:13or a bit more romantic.
44:14I don't know.
44:15I'm just looking forward to getting to know him more.
44:17Romantic, but I've never had a connection with anyone
44:21like I do with Viraj.
44:23Enjoy that.
44:24Yeah.
44:24Lemonade.
44:25Yeah.
44:26I'll probably run for it.
44:27Oh, shh.
44:28That was awkward.
44:30I feel really great.
44:31I feel confident.
44:32And I feel like I've pushed outside a massive barrier
44:34with me with going on dates.
44:36She's just an amazing girl, and I'm
44:38really glad that I was with her for that date.
44:41You want to hold my hand?
44:42It'll make it like an official date.
44:43Yeah.
44:44Yeah.
44:48And with that, it's time to celebrate the end
44:51of another phase of the cast.
44:56Are you feeling confident?
44:57Yes.
45:00My confidence has definitely grown over the last few days.
45:02I've kind of been on a journey in terms of my gender.
45:06I'm not quite sure who I am, but I know at least I'm Tom.
45:11Cheers.
45:14Over the last few days, my confidence
45:17has skyrocketed so much more than I thought it ever would.
45:20And I'm really looking forward to where
45:22the journey may take me next.
45:25It's so exciting, and it's so nice to feel
45:27like these new feelings that I'm feeling.
45:29Now that I'm kind of, I know myself a bit better,
45:32the fear is gone.
45:33So I'm hoping I can progress faster now that I'm not
45:36being held back by my own fear.
45:38Tomorrow, we are taking you to the next level.
45:42Oh, my god.
45:43Are you ready?
45:44Yeah.
45:47We've come a long journey together,
45:48and you never know what's coming next.
45:51I just hope we don't go in tomorrow
45:52and they're all naked or something.
45:54That'd be quite scary.
45:57Next time.
45:58So this is my buddy.
45:59For fuck's sake.
46:00The course enters its toughest phase yet.
46:03We're going to invite you one by one to show yourself out.
46:08Do you know what?
46:09YOLO.
46:14And the one-on-ones.
46:15What's the feeling in your body, the sensation of it?
46:18Disgusting.
46:19Push the virgins further than ever before.
46:22Just, like, explore.
46:53YOLO.
