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, absolutely 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.
00:44Porn 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.
01:15Does that make you 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.
01:25It'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.
01:56It was like 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, 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.
02:28That 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.
02:51Good 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...
03:14Wow, what does this mean?
03:16She's got confidence.
03:18What does this mean?
03:21God.
03:23I'm confident in my intelligence.
03:24I'm confident as a person.
03:26But I'm not confident about believing that people want me in that way.
03:30Especially after what happened with Charlotte.
03:32And then just feel like I'm not good enough.
03:34So I think this is going to be tough for me.
03:38Confidence.
03:39I think I'm confident when I'm someone else, most of the time.
03:42That's why I do drama and all that.
03:44There are times where I just don't want to chat to anyone
03:46because 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.
03:54And 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.
04:13We are moving into the next phase.
04:17Confidence.
04:18If you're walking in the world and you're feeling kind of shut down,
04:21you're not going to be attractive.
04:23But really accepting yourself for who you are,
04:26you're going to be more attractive.
04:32They've all prepared a dating or rejection story from their past,
04:35which has destroyed their confidence.
04:38So, you're going to take turns to share your rejection story.
04:42Who wants to come first?
04:50I'll go.
04:51All right.
04:54First up, drama graduate Tom.
04:58Being a virgin's definitely affected my confidence.
05:03In school, I felt like I was a bit of a pushover.
05:06In school, I felt like socially I wasn't developing
05:10as well as all my other classmates.
05:12They were all going out, drinking in the park,
05:16having fun, 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
05:39and it 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, you need to remember that
06:29and she sucks.
06:31She sucks.
06:39As well as rejection.
06:42I stayed over at her house
06:43and there 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
06:52that 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.
07:06We'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
07:16I don't want to put myself in that position.
07:20But...
07:22Then you should be proud of yourself
07:23that you didn't feel like you had to go all the way
07:26and the right person will come to you
07:28when 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
07:49and it builds so much confidence.
07:52Each story also gives the experts
07:54clues 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
08:21and said, dance 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
08:28and the crowds parted
08:30and the lights flashed for a second.
08:31I looked straight into this guy's eyes
08:35and my heart just dropped
08:36and 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.
08:50Well, you was always out of your shell,
08:51but out more.
08:53Yeah, you were 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.
09:15I didn't like being told I was nice.
09:18Suffered from quite a lot of 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.
09:34You OK?
09:36I just feel a bit like...
09:41I still feel like they're trying to get to grips with me.
09:46I thought with Taylor,
09:47it 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?
09:54Yeah, 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,
10:10they want to take you back to their place
10:12and then you hit this wall and you just think,
10:15I 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,
10:45want to be his best friend,
10:46but like just didn't want to like
10:48have any kind of sexual contact.
10:51Do you want to move into some body work?
10:54Yeah.
10:55Yep.
10:58So I just want you to bring awareness into your feet.
11:03Noticing any tension that you feel.
11:08Kat wants Taylor to concentrate
11:11on how it feels to be touched by a woman.
11:14And we'll move to the ankles and the lower legs.
11:21I'm sorry.
11:24No, no.
11:24Don't apologize.
11:25It's OK.
11:28Is it like, does it feel like a release?
11:30Does it feel?
11:31Yeah, OK.
11:34It's just such a relief to not feel scared at all.
11:38That's amazing.
11:39I feel so silly.
11:41No, why?
11:42Just more like wasting my own time
11:45and everyone else's for so long.
11:47No.
11:49By feeling uncertain?
11:52Yeah.
11:59I'm so sorry.
12:00It's OK.
12:01It's OK.
12:01It's OK.
12:02It's OK.
12:02It's OK.
12:03It's OK.
12:03It's OK.
12:04It's OK.
12:04It's OK.
12:05It's OK.
12:05It's OK.
12:06It's OK.
12:06It's OK.
12:07It's OK.
12:07It's OK.
12:08It's OK.
12:18Yeah, it's OK.
12:21I think that's enough for today.
12:26After years of confusion, it's the breakthrough
12:29Taylor's been looking for.
12:31I always thought I was bi, but being here
12:33and having to kind of confront it, I think I might not like men.
12:38Like, at all.
12:40OK.
12:41And how does it feel to sit with it and own it?
12:44It feels good to own it, but it's also really scary.
12:46It is really scary, yeah.
12:53Oh, God, finally.
12:56Yay, I'm so excited.
12:58This feels so good.
13:00It feels so good.
13:01Good cry.
13:02Yeah, I'm glad.
13:05Thank you so much.
13:05I really appreciate it.
13:09I'm just gay, and I think I've been deluding myself into,
13:13like, no, I like men as well, because that's normal and good.
13:16But, like, I didn't feel scared.
13:20That 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.
13:30Was it good?
13:30Good?
13:31It was with Kat, and it was the best one I've had.
13:34Oh, really?
13:34And I'm definitely gay.
13:38Oh, no, thank you.
13:40What a breakthrough.
13:41I know, we missed an all-fucking-week.
13:44Happy to.
13:45We love you, Taylor.
13:48I 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?
14:10I would.
14:10I've considered it before.
14:12What would you sell your virginity for?
14:15I'd say a couple hundred plus.
14:17I'd do it for £10 on a packet of doughnuts.
14:19Different for boys.
14:20What about your anal virginity?
14:22No, no, that's...
14:25That's his boundary.
14:26Yeah, that's my boundary.
14:27At least £1 million.
14:31It's the first afternoon of the confidence phase at the retreat.
14:35What language do lesbians speak?
14:38Gaelic.
14:41What do you call a lesbian dinosaur?
14:43Don't know.
14:44Like a lot of puss.
14:45Ah!
14:46Yeah, 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
14:56to explore their identities, too.
14:58Do you want a pamper, Tom?
15:00I would love a pamper, to be fair.
15:01What, do you want a face mask?
15:03Oh, I'd be up for any of it.
15:04Mascara, lipstick.
15:06Perf.
15:08This is an exercise that helps people lower their inhibitions.
15:12Welcome to Emma's Salon.
15:14Society can give young men such a narrow view of masculinity,
15:17so we really wanted to help them start to get past
15:20some of those myths.
15:22How do you feel now?
15:23Relaxed.
15:24Like I'm being operated on.
15:26Although Ben isn't made up with the make-up.
15:29I wanted it to look, like, good and natural, not drag queen.
15:33That's what I'm going to be, drag queen.
15:35Tom is in the pink.
15:37He looks like a nice young German boy.
15:41I've never had a girlfriend in my life, no.
15:43Sometimes I come across quite camp.
15:46I'll go out to the club and I'll start slut-dropping.
15:49I'll start singing along to Taylor Swift, Katy Perry,
15:53Bit Abba.
15:55But a lot of people didn't quite know how to differentiate
15:57between camp and being gay, so they kind of sort of
16:00sort of, you know, I don't know, I don't know.
16:02I want to lose my virginity, but people just aren't interested
16:06in someone who doesn't have confidence in themselves.
16:09That ain't bad.
16:10That's not bad, come on.
16:12It feels so wrong, yet so right.
16:16Made up, the boys have engaged with their soft side.
16:20But now the experts want them to be more open about it.
16:23I'm not going to be a virgin.
16:24I'm not going to be a virgin.
16:26I'm not going to be a virgin.
16:27I'm not going to be a virgin.
16:28I'm not going to be a virgin.
16:29I'm not going to be a virgin.
16:31But now the experts want them to reinforce their strength too
16:34and try to get good with wood.
16:38Has anyone felt an emotion and they were afraid to show it
16:42because of what someone else might think?
16:45Yeah.
16:48But today, we're going to get to let those emotions out.
16:52So we're letting go of the emotion
16:53as the ox splits the wood, you know?
16:56Argh!
16:57Just tune into some primal emotion in your body.
17:01All right, who feels like they'd like to go first?
17:04Go Dave.
17:05Dave.
17:06That's right.
17:07There you go.
17:08Bye.
17:13Argh!
17:14Yes.
17:15Good job, Dave.
17:19Yeah!
17:20Yeah!
17:21Yeah!
17:22Yeah!
17:23Yeah!
17:24Not only are they letting out some raw emotion...
17:27Argh!
17:28Yeah.
17:29Good job, bro.
17:30Argh!
17:31Oh, shit.
17:32That was bad.
17:33For 25-year-old Viraj, it's a lesson in resilience.
17:38Argh!
17:39Oh, my God.
17:40Go on, you've got this.
17:41Argh!
17:42Yeah!
17:43Yeah!
17:44Yeah!
17:45Yeah!
17:46Yeah!
17:47Yeah!
17:48Yeah!
17:49Yeah!
17:51Good job, Viraj.
17:58How was the chopping?
18:00Oh, I sucked, that was the worst.
18:02Man chop wood.
18:03Man chop wood.
18:04Man use axe.
18:05Getting manly has left many of the boys on a high.
18:09Man talk to girls.
18:11Man break wind.
18:12Are you desperately trying to get your nail varnish off?
18:16Yes.
18:17Have you taken yours off?
18:19No.
18:20I might just stick it out.
18:22I think it's about trying to be in touch with your emotions
18:25rather than letting it all boil up inside of you.
18:27Do you think it worked?
18:29I'm still a virgin, so not yet.
18:35To try and change that...
18:37So I'll just be touching all over your body but not your genitals.
18:42..the experts believe Dave's ready to start the island's
18:45most advanced treatment, surrogate partner therapy.
18:50How are you feeling?
18:52Good.
18:53Yeah?
18:54Yeah.
18:55OK.
18:56It was really nice.
18:58It felt natural and enjoyable.
19:02It's given me a massive confidence boost.
19:05Meanwhile...
19:06I'd like to just go into an experience of connecting with your body.
19:12Yeah, just do it.
19:13OK, I'll try that.
19:14Yeah.
19:15..Jason's lessons on how to hug are moving up a step.
19:20You can touch me in a way that feels good to you.
19:23It's so amazing.
19:26Let me see what you notice.
19:28Yeah.
19:31Isn't it enjoyable?
19:32It is.
19:36Across the island, the make-up session has raised more questions
19:40than answers for Tom.
19:42Doing the wood shopping, doing the whole make-up thing,
19:45I really enjoyed that.
19:46I don't know.
19:47It just felt like a lot of things about, like, gender
19:50end up coming into it.
19:51I just feel a bit weird, I think.
19:57The experts have noticed a change in Tom too,
20:00so they're sending him for a session with Kat
20:03to see if she can find out what's really going on.
20:07Because so many people over the years have called me gay,
20:10I've kind of started to question my own sexuality sometimes.
20:15Before I saw myself as a closeted bisexual,
20:17but one of the prerequisites of being, like, bisexual
20:20is, like, you have to like men.
20:22I didn't like men that way.
20:25But I want to learn more about myself
20:27and my own battles with identity.
20:29There's just so many things which have made me question that.
20:35How are you doing?
20:36Er...not so great today, I'd say.
20:39Yeah?
20:40Just struggling a little bit, I think.
20:42Yeah?
20:43Yeah.
20:44It's just working out my place, like...
20:46Mm-mm.
20:47..how I fit into things, dynamic,
20:49whether I'm part of the men or the women or the...
20:52Oh, I see, yeah, yeah.
20:53..where I belong and that sort of stuff, yeah.
20:55I think I really enjoyed, like, putting make-up on,
20:58and it feels like...
21:01Yeah, it's OK.
21:04No, I don't want to dress, it's OK.
21:07Is that tissue?
21:08Yeah.
21:10Thanks.
21:21I don't think I'm quite the full masculine side of things,
21:25I do think.
21:28I am slightly more masculine leaning,
21:30but I don't think I'm fully man, but...
21:34Yeah.
21:35..I'm not too sure.
21:36Yeah.
21:37And does it feel scary to step into the feminine?
21:41It's scary because I don't know what to label myself as.
21:44Non-binary is quite...
21:47It feels quite scary.
21:48I'm not sure it is a total fit for me either.
21:51Mm-hm.
21:52I want you to try as much as you can to, like,
21:56pause from naming things.
21:59Ground it in the body a little bit
22:01and just pay attention to how you feel.
22:03Yeah.
22:05OK.
22:07See you soon.
22:08Yeah, see you soon.
22:10I'm not sure I'm totally happy with it at the moment,
22:13but that's because I've brought up a lot of stuff
22:16that I'm going to work through,
22:18but I'm definitely in a happier mindset, let's say.
22:31Yeah, Holly, guess what?
22:33What?
22:34I'm a lesbian.
22:36What's up?
22:37Morning.
22:38Ready to go today, guys.
22:40Away!
22:43It's day two of the confidence phase of the course.
22:47Morning, Dave, you all right?
22:49Yeah, morning.
22:50This is all I want in life, a good cup of tea.
22:53I'm struggling a little bit with confidence,
22:55but I think it's just taking those little steps for me
22:58and I'm really hoping that I can build up myself
23:01and build up my confidence.
23:03That's exactly what Celeste and Danielle plan to do next,
23:07with a lesson on the foundation of all romance, dating.
23:11Oh, chairs.
23:12Oh, we're going on a date.
23:14Ooh!
23:15Oh, my God.
23:16Oh, my God.
23:17I've been on so many dates, this will be easy.
23:19Yeah, it should be.
23:33So we're going to talk about the skills of a great date.
23:36All the skills that we need to have
23:38in order to have great relationships are just skills.
23:43You want to learn them and practise them.
23:47Celeste and Danielle have a rule of three dating skills.
23:51The first one is giving an in-the-moment compliment.
23:54Like, I really love the way your eyes twinkle when you smile.
23:58You know, something that really feels like
24:00you're connecting with a person.
24:03The second one is to be able to both give and recognise the look.
24:07And the look means, I'm ready now, I'm ready to be kissed.
24:10And then finally, the third skill is the lean-in for the kiss.
24:16So we're going to do a little demo
24:18and then you're going to have opportunities to practise.
24:20And in this case, practise means role-play.
24:23I'm so glad we finally got here, it's been a lot of planning.
24:26I know, right? Yeah.
24:28So, do you like to travel?
24:31Oh, my God, I love travelling.
24:33Travelling is really my passion.
24:35Where's your favourite place?
24:37Wow, I can't think of anything.
24:41I can just listen to that laugh all day long.
24:45You're embarrassing me a little bit.
24:48But I like it too.
24:50So that's an in-the-moment?
24:52Uh-huh. Do you see flirting was going on all the time?
24:54Yeah?
24:57You are giving me the look.
25:00I was also getting it from you, I think.
25:13Such a good kisser.
25:16OK.
25:18You are each other's practise buddies
25:20and that's really going to help you.
25:22The more you practise, the more it's just going to be like,
25:24oh, this is normal, this is just what I do.
25:26That's confidence, right?
25:28Who wants to...?
25:30Yay, come on up, Emma!
25:32I wouldn't really say I've actually ever been on a date in my life.
25:35Who else?
25:37I'll do it.
25:39Yay!
25:41It's hard to kind of open myself up to that world
25:43where I've had such a block on it for so long.
25:47Hello.
25:49Hello. How are you? OK?
25:51Very good. Did you enjoy the show?
25:53Yeah, I did, yeah.
25:55What did you like best?
25:58I liked that you put me on the spot.
26:00I like how you get lost in your thoughts there.
26:04Always, always get lost.
26:06Somewhere else.
26:08Yeah, in my own world.
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 of the hand a little bit more
26:38and just pay attention to how it feels on your skin.
26:41Yeah, OK.
26:43Just slow down.
26:45Make sure that it's the right level.
26:49Great job, Zach, that was beautiful.
26:53After Zach and Emma's masterclass,
26:55a fully-nude cafe, bold choice for our first date.
27:00The others step up to the dating plate.
27:03I'm a bush driver.
27:05Do you enjoy it?
27:07No.
27:09Do you want to just try giving her the look?
27:11That was it, the eyebrows.
27:16I just want to see if you're catching it.
27:18No, I didn't catch it.
27:20OK, I want you to start paying attention to those things.
27:25Nice talking to you.
27:29Wow!
27:34Last to take the plunge is serial dater Ben,
27:37who, despite having over 40 dates, has always been unlucky in love.
27:44What's stopped me from taking it to the next level
27:47was the fact that I've never been in love before.
27:51What's stopped me from taking it to the next level
27:53with a lot of these dates I've been on,
27:55I think it's just lack of experience and lack of success
27:57at reading social signals.
27:59I tend to play it safe,
28:01and I think for guys like me who just struggle with that,
28:04making the move and reading the signs, it's very hard.
28:09Who want to try it with Ben?
28:21Do I get to do it?
28:23Good, cos this will be our second date.
28:25Yeah.
28:28Well, it's good to see you again, Celeste.
28:30It's good to see you too.
28:32What job do you do?
28:34I coach people to have more intimacy and connection with each other.
28:37Oh, OK.
28:47I like your glasses.
28:50Thank you. They suit you.
29:00When you, like, get all into the experience,
29:02you're really beautiful.
29:04Thank you. So are you.
29:14Despite Celeste's flirting...
29:16Yeah. Yeah.
29:18..being rejected by the group has hurt Ben.
29:22So tonight, you're going to have another opportunity
29:25to just practice skills-building.
29:27As you'll all be going on practice dates with each other.
29:30You'll learn so much
29:32and give each other so much from that experience.
29:38Holly, how was my kissing skills out of ten?
29:40A solid 9.5.
29:42Yes! It was really good.
29:45What did everyone think of that session?
29:47It was fine.
29:49I enjoyed it.
29:52Tell me how you found the workshop.
29:54Crap.
29:58Awful. I didn't like it.
30:01I got up and no-one wanted to join with me.
30:03That was really hard.
30:05The ironic thing is the conference section,
30:07which I knew would be hard,
30:09has probably wrecked my confidence.
30:11Hello.
30:13Hello.
30:15For Ben, it's yet another setback.
30:19You OK?
30:21The conference basically shattered my confidence.
30:23And he's not the only one struggling.
30:25I've walked out the workshop feeling worse.
30:29Oh, really? What's wrong with you today?
30:33I don't know.
30:37The 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 all right.
30:48But I just really feel for Ben.
30:50It's hard, isn't it, when I care for other people.
30:52It'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.
31:08Are you 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.
31:18What about me?
31:20Yeah.
31:22You deserve to be angry.
31:24Like, what about you?
31:26You know what I mean?
31:28It's your turn.
31:30Ah!
31:32Ah!
31:34Ah!
31:37What about me?
31:39Yes, what about me?
31:41What about me?
31:43Yeah, what about me?
31:45That's right.
31:47I feel like I'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.
31:57Right, let me strip off.
31:59Oh God, OK.
32:01I'm going to push it out.
32:03What about me? And then punch it.
32:05Yes, what about me?
32:07What about me?
32:09Yeah, more.
32:11This is my body.
32:13Yes, my turn.
32:15Fuck you, if you've ever made me think shit.
32:17Fuck everyone who's taken my kindness for weakness.
32:19Yes.
32:21It's all about me.
32:23It's all about you.
32:25Fuck you, fuck you.
32:27That's what I should say.
32:30The exercise stirs up old emotion.
32:32When I was seven,
32:34I did have a really horrific incident
32:36with another child,
32:38of them touching me inappropriately.
32:40It kind of shut me off
32:42and brought up this fear
32:44of sex
32:46and that was so horrible.
32:48So I want to move past
32:50that horrific experience
32:52but it's not going to happen.
32:54It's not going to happen.
32:56It's not going to happen.
32:59But it is so difficult.
33:01It'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.
33:09Just imagine
33:11little Emma looking up at you
33:13and saying thank you so much.
33:15Thank you
33:17for looking out for me
33:19and being the strong
33:21independent woman
33:23that I always wanted to be.
33:25You should be
33:27proud of yourself
33:29because you're so stronger than you think
33:31and wiser than you know.
33:41How did it go?
33:43A really good session.
33:45I feel like Celeste released
33:47a new energy inside of me
33:49that I didn't realise I had.
33:51Right now I feel on top of the world.
33:53I feel like a brand new
33:56version of Emma
33:58and I'm not going to let people's
34:00negative input impact me.
34:02I feel like now
34:04I'm more open to
34:06forming new connections
34:08which I haven't taken before.
34:10It's not just Emma
34:12who'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
34:20I'll probably tell some more people
34:22about my gender fluency
34:24because I constantly have a barrier
34:26I'm not hiding a part of myself anymore
34:28which I'm constantly having to do
34:30here at the moment.
34:32After her own issues
34:34around identity
34:36Tom decides to confide in Taylor.
34:40Coming here I've been learning
34:42a lot more about my own identity.
34:44I found that as well.
34:46It really puts it into perspective.
34:48It does, 100%.
34:50When I had my makeup put on me
34:53and then I had to take it off
34:55and I felt a bit, oh no
34:57I really wanted to keep it on.
34:59It got me thinking a lot
35:01about my own identity.
35:03If gender is on the spectrum
35:05I'd say I'm exactly
35:07between him and they them.
35:09Yes, so masculine
35:11but not real.
35:13Do you still identify as straight
35:15like you like girls?
35:17Yes, I still very much like women.
35:19It's not who I go to bed with
35:21but who I go to bed as.
35:23Who do I go to bed as?
35:25How exciting!
35:31It's late afternoon
35:33on Virgin Island
35:35and this evening
35:37the group will pair up for date night.
35:39So how are we going to do this today?
35:41Is this my first proper date?
35:43Do I class this as a date?
35:45We can make it a date, we'll see what happens.
35:47One thing I don't want it to be
35:50is I don't want it to be awkward.
35:52Why would it be awkward?
35:54I don't know, I feel like I'm just an awkward person.
35:56No, we might fall in love after this.
35:58Really?
36:00Maybe.
36:02Sometimes when you look at me
36:04I do feel like, are you just looking at me randomly
36:06or are you looking at me?
36:08Maybe I'm overthinking it.
36:10Why do you just look at me like that?
36:12Oh, Emma.
36:14After her session with Celeste
36:16Emma's newfound positivity is taking effect.
36:19It will have to be someone who goes to India
36:21and has that dream wedding.
36:23You would look really good in a sari.
36:25No, I actually would love that.
36:27What colour would my dress be?
36:29Like red?
36:31Yeah, I picture a red.
36:33Really?
36:35I don't know whether red would suit me.
36:37I think it would.
36:39I think any colour would suit you, why not?
36:49Now she's opened the floodgates
36:55Emma's letting herself go.
36:57You even went through to the second layer.
36:59Later we'll all pose for a calendar.
37:05And so are the boys.
37:07What do you guys like?
37:09What do you mean?
37:11What do you like?
37:13How do you want to have sex?
37:15I want to feel powerful.
37:17I would like to be dominated.
37:19I think that's what I like.
37:21You like that? That's interesting.
37:23But that's because I'm like a shy virgin.
37:25I think I want something really boring like Michelin.
37:27That's me.
37:29After being rejected earlier
37:31the confidence phase of the cast has yet to help Ben.
37:33I think what's scary about
37:35the whole approaching somebody in real life
37:37is the prospect of rejection.
37:39It's just awkward.
37:41Ben struggles to turn dates from the vertical
37:43to the horizontal
37:46Experts want to see if they can teach him how.
37:48Coming out of this and feeling more 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.
38:02How do I make the first move?
38:04The first physical move?
38:06Because that's quite a big step and something you always worry about.
38:08If there is a moment that you feel a connection
38:10but you might just look at her
38:12and be like, you're so cute.
38:16You know?
38:18Like that?
38:20Yeah.
38:22It has to feel like it's time though.
38:24Naturally.
38:26When you're confident
38:28that's one of the most important things.
38:32With the basics covered
38:34Ben takes the giant leap to the bed.
38:38That's nice.
38:46It's really nice, Ben.
38:52Yeah.
38:54Slowly Ben's confidence seems to be rising.
39:06And whatever you do, don't try to get it right.
39:08There's no getting it right.
39:10There's only exploring.
39:16Squeeze me
39:18if that helps you to feel more of me.
39:28See you soon.
39:30What I found most helpful
39:32is that she can help me get out of my head
39:34and get more in the moment.
39:36I just feel like I'm a lot more confident
39:38going into these sort of situations now.
39:42After Ben's confidence boost
39:46the whole group get themselves ready
39:48for date night.
39:50This feels a bigger deal
39:52than I thought it was going to be.
39:54Ooh, a tie.
39:56You're looking good though, dude.
39:58You all look good.
40:00Who knew virgins could be so sexy?
40:04Ooh, lovely.
40:06The experts have paired them up
40:08ready to test their date skills.
40:10This is nice.
40:12Ladies first.
40:14So kind.
40:16And they've hit the island's most romantic spot.
40:18There you go, my lady.
40:20Thank you very much.
40:22You look lovely.
40:24Oh, thank you.
40:26I was worried I'd be overdressed.
40:28I was worried about the same thing.
40:30Having come out as gay,
40:32Taylor's dating expert Aisha
40:34give him Ben the chance to carry on
40:36where he left off with Josh.
40:38How have you been since we last met?
40:40Yeah, fine.
40:43I hope this is water.
40:45So do I, actually.
40:47As they sit down to chat up...
40:49Nice to meet you.
40:51Nice to meet you.
40:53...they must remember Celeste and Danielle's
40:55three steps of dating.
40:57I wanted to know, actually,
40:59what's it like in Glasgow?
41:01Is it just full of, like, Frankie Boyle posters?
41:03Yeah. He's, like, actually, like, our mascot.
41:09What state did you grow up in?
41:11Oh, Florida. I would never would have guessed.
41:13Really?
41:15The Florida people are crazy.
41:17Does that mean you're crazy?
41:19Um, I think I am a little.
41:21We may be about to get rained on.
41:23You don't like getting wet?
41:25I thought that was your whole thing.
41:27Wow!
41:29I appreciate that.
41:31I appreciate you taking it sexual.
41:33Step one,
41:35giving an in-the-moment compliment.
41:37You look nice.
41:40How nice?
41:42Ten.
41:44Not to say.
41:46Flotsam dolphins.
41:48I like how rosy your cheeks are.
41:52It's the one thing I hate about myself.
41:54Is it?
41:56I'm glad I brought it up, then.
42:00You've got very nice earrings.
42:02You like them?
42:04Yeah.
42:06You've definitely got a good fashion sense.
42:08I don't know what to do with them all.
42:12Step two is the look.
42:14I've practised the look.
42:16I'm going to feel my energy.
42:18I'm going to turn away and look back at you.
42:20We're going to turn away.
42:26Goddammit!
42:28Finally followed by the kiss.
42:30You're a beautiful girl.
42:32Oh, stop it.
42:34You're a beautiful guy, inside and out.
42:37Aww.
42:39But for one couple...
42:41My nieces like weight loss.
42:43I like your motivation to want to do personal training
42:45and want to help other people.
42:47I like that about you.
42:49Their practice is perfect.
42:51Are you OK?
42:53I'm good.
42:55You sure?
42:57Yeah, I'm all right.
42:59Does that make you nervous?
43:01A little bit.
43:03You don't need to be nervous.
43:06I still believe in arranged marriages.
43:08I don't see that as a bad thing,
43:10but I just don't think I'd ever put myself
43:12in that position.
43:14Once I'm a lot more confident in myself,
43:16I think the type of path I want to go down
43:18will be love marriage.
43:20But if I don't put myself out there,
43:22it definitely won't happen.
43:24Do you want to shake hands?
43:26Sure, let's do it.
43:28I have cold hands, though.
43:30No, it's OK.
43:32You have nice hands, though.
43:34I feel like I've gotten darker by being here more.
43:36To be honest, you actually have.
43:38You're a nice colour.
43:44You OK?
43:46Yeah, I'm good.
43:52Look, you can tell how cold I am
43:54because I was going a bit purple.
43:56You are going a bit purple, aren't you?
43:58Maybe you can warm them up for me.
44:00You want me to warm up for you?
44:03Yeah, go on.
44:05Beautiful.
44:07How was that?
44:09Yeah, lovely.
44:11Good for you?
44:13Of course.
44:15We got on quite well,
44:17and I'm just looking forward
44:19to getting to know him more.
44:21I don't know whether it could be
44:23a bit romantic,
44:25but I've never had a connection
44:27with anyone like I do with Viraj.
44:29Enjoy that.
44:31I feel confident,
44:33and I feel like I've pushed outside
44:35a massive barrier with going on dates.
44:37She's just an amazing girl,
44:39and I'm really glad that I was with her for that date.
44:41You want to hold my hand?
44:43We'll make it like an official date.
44:47And with that,
44:49it's time to celebrate
44:51the end of another phase of the course.
44:55Are you feeling confident?
44:57Yes!
45:00My confidence has definitely grown
45:02over the last few days.
45:04I've kind of been on a journey
45:06in terms of my gender.
45:08I'm not quite sure who I am,
45:10but I know at least I'm Tom.
45:12Cheers!
45:14Over the last few days,
45:16my confidence has skyrocketed
45:18so much more than I thought it ever would,
45:20and I'm really looking forward
45:22to where the journey may take me next.
45:24It's so exciting,
45:26and it's so nice to feel
45:28the confidence that I'm feeling.
45:30Now that I'm kind of...
45:32I know myself a bit better,
45:34the fear is gone,
45:36so I'm hoping I can progress faster
45:38now that I'm not being held back
45:40by my own fear.
45:42Tomorrow, we are taking you
45:44to the next level.
45:46Oh, my God.
45:48Are you ready?
45:50We've come a long journey together,
45:52and you never know what's coming next.
45:54I just hope we don't go in tomorrow
45:57So this is my buddy.
45:59For fuck's sake.
46:01The course enters its toughest phase yet.
