00:00So nervous, are you?
00:04We're just like a normal, average couple from a small town.
00:10I want to keep the spice alive and be together for a life.
00:15We are looking to bring another girl into the equation.
00:20I'm worried maybe Johnny being with someone else,
00:23maybe she'll turn him on more than I do.
00:25We've talked about this for a long, long time,
00:27obviously opening up.
00:28We just don't know how to make that first move.
00:31You can't close the deal as they say.
00:33Yes!
00:36What's at stake?
00:37Everything really, isn't it?
00:39Your relationship's at stake.
00:41To lose it would be to lose everything.
00:43I'm so stressed.
00:46It's absolutely bonkers, literally.
00:49Like, what are we doing?
00:58Yes!
00:59Yes!
01:00Yes!
01:01Yes!
01:06In the retreat summer garden, a masked ball is in full swing and the sexually liberated residents are eagerly awaiting Sarah and Johnny's arrival.
01:17I am known as Orgy Jen. Very known for orgies.
01:22Generally for us, the more the better, really.
01:25That's kind of how we live our non-monogamous way.
01:34Finally here.
01:36I'm not going to blame myself.
01:40After years of trying to open up,
01:43Sarah and Johnny are hoping to night's the night
01:45they finally find the courage to invite a woman into their bedroom.
01:49When you get into that social, what do you need to do?
01:51Don't be afraid to approach people and be confident
01:55and ask the person to see if they'd like to spend some time with us
01:58because that's what we haven't done before.
02:00Ready? Let's go.
02:03I approached Johnny first about opening up our relationship.
02:06I've given him so much reassurance that everything's going to be OK.
02:10Eventually, he was like, yes, this is like a dream come true!
02:15Hi, guys!
02:17Hi, guys. Are you OK?
02:19You guys look gorgeous.
02:21Hi, look, thank you. Are you OK?
02:23Sorry, you and I'm not going to be OK.
02:25Are you OK, Monique?
02:26Ooh, what's my drink?
02:28How are you doing? OK, Johnny. Nice to meet you.
02:31I've been taking my mask off because I know...
02:33Oh, yeah.
02:34It's definitely...
02:35Do you know what? I won't get it but fun if I take it off.
02:37So tell us anyway, like, what brings you guys to open house?
02:41Well, I think we're looking for a girl to join us, really.
02:43The person has a connection with you two at the same time.
02:46Yeah, which is sometimes, you know...
02:47It could be a part for two people, yeah, but...
02:50What advice I will give to this couple?
02:54Keep something intimate for you, too.
02:58It can be kissing, it can be anal sex, it can be...
03:01Nobody touch my feet except my husband.
03:05You know, just a little, like, thinks it's yours.
03:10Where's that accent?
03:11French?
03:11Oh, yes.
03:12French.
03:12Oh, it was, yeah?
03:13It was a French.
03:15Yeah, it's very strong.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Oh, we've all been drooling over it.
03:18Oh, it's very, very sexy, very sexy.
03:22Right, we'll get in there.
03:23Me.
03:25By all means, we're around if you want to call for a chat.
03:27But, yeah, get to know.
03:28Cheers.
03:28We will.
03:29Cheers.
03:29Click, click, click, click.
03:30Cheers.
03:32I enjoy yourself.
03:36Sarah and Johnny's focus is to try and find a female to join them tonight.
03:41But as the couple work the floor,
03:43they catch the attention of married couple, Jem and Dad.
03:48We've been together ten years.
03:50Wow.
03:51We've been in the scene five,
03:52but we took it really slowly.
03:55Yeah.
03:55Just did a bit of soft swapping to start with,
03:58with couples.
03:59Same room, sort of swapping.
04:01Always same room.
04:01Always.
04:02We always play together.
04:03Yeah.
04:03We really enjoy it that way.
04:06We will do a bit of everything, really.
04:09Guys, girls, groups.
04:11All of it.
04:14Good to meet guys.
04:15You know, good.
04:16Yeah.
04:16It's been really interesting.
04:18We've been the envied couples like yourselves.
04:20We can help.
04:21Join us.
04:22Join us.
04:25I can see why it would be easier as a couple for another couple.
04:30You know, three is an odd number.
04:31And it is always a worry.
04:33Is one person going to feel left out?
04:35No, no.
04:36Not sure about that.
04:38Like you too.
04:39Thank you so much.
04:41Can't do well now.
04:42They seem like a little fun.
04:44They seem like our kind of people.
04:46We'd love to spend some more time with them
04:47and just see if that builds some more.
04:51Just come over here.
04:52But Johnny wants to stick with the plan
04:54and continue pursuing a threesome
04:56with one of the female residents.
04:59Come on.
04:59Tell me.
05:00French.
05:01I can't remember her name.
05:02I can't remember her name.
05:03Is it Matt?
05:03Matt?
05:04Matt Mania.
05:05Mary?
05:05Matt?
05:06Oh, God.
05:06French Marie?
05:08Yeah.
05:09There's the accent, I think, here.
05:10It's going to be hard, this.
05:11In the past,
05:14when we've been in situations
05:15where we've had, you know,
05:17it's been there on a plate,
05:18we just can't between us just do it.
05:21It's like,
05:22she's too good looking for us.
05:23I'm just going to put myself out there.
05:25I'm going to step outside my comfort zone.
05:27I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
05:31Hello.
05:32Hi.
05:33I'm teaching her some friends.
05:34I've noticed.
05:36I hear.
05:37It's only bonjour that I know.
05:38Hello.
05:39Bonjour.
05:40So, Marie,
05:41we were just having a little chat.
05:43Okay.
05:44We have a mutual attraction to you.
05:47Oh, okay.
05:48We just wanted to,
05:48if you'd like to spend some time with us.
05:52Um,
05:53I'm feeling like
05:55I didn't have the connection.
05:57We understand that.
05:58Thank you so much.
05:59It's okay.
06:00It's very nice.
06:04Speak to you.
06:05Okay, yeah.
06:06Shall we go and get another one?
06:07Yeah.
06:10I wasn't ready for that.
06:12Sarah and Johnny,
06:14for me,
06:15it's not,
06:15it's not the right things to do.
06:17Because,
06:18I didn't have any
06:19physical
06:20or brain connection
06:21with them.
06:23I'm feeling like,
06:24I'm all right.
06:24Yeah,
06:25it's lovely how you do it.
06:26Yeah.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Nice with her, mate.
06:31Thanks so much.
06:34Cheers.
06:37I'm all right.
06:38What do we do?
06:39I'm not sure.
06:41Oh, God.
06:43Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
06:44How you feeling?
06:56Yeah, fun.
06:57No, I'm a little bit nervous.
06:59Like when I went skydiving.
07:00I was a little bit clammy.
07:01Yeah, I'm afraid you did.
07:06Next into the retreat
07:08are builder Claude
07:09and full-time mum,
07:10Amy.
07:14When we first met,
07:15I just thought,
07:16this moment is perfect for me.
07:18All I can think about
07:18is how much
07:19I want to be with her forever.
07:20So, yeah.
07:21I kept saying,
07:21you can ask me to marry you.
07:24And then,
07:24yeah, he did.
07:27Between them,
07:28Claude and Amy
07:29have six children.
07:31Two children together
07:32and four from
07:33Amy's previous marriage.
07:35Our home life is busy.
07:37It's actual chaos.
07:38So I try to live
07:39in every single moment.
07:40The chaos,
07:41the ups,
07:41the downs,
07:42the shouting,
07:43the laughter.
07:43But it doesn't stop them
07:45from having fun.
07:46I think mine and Amy's
07:47sex life is fantastic.
07:49For me,
07:50it's the best.
07:51We don't have
07:52all of the time
07:53in the world.
07:53So,
07:54the opportunity arises.
07:55We'll take it.
07:56We'll fit it in
07:57with chores.
07:58Amy is no stranger
08:04to the world
08:05of non-monogamy.
08:06So I was introduced
08:07to the lifestyle
08:08when I was in my late teens.
08:10Those were the best times
08:11of my life.
08:12So when I did get with Claude,
08:14I made it clear
08:15I'd like to bring
08:15other people
08:16into our relationship.
08:17And now she wants
08:18to return to non-monogamy
08:20with her husband
08:21by her side.
08:22I want multiple people
08:24in my life
08:25at all times.
08:26I think I was spoiled
08:27as a child.
08:28I just want it all.
08:30Not just sex.
08:31Something more serious.
08:34It's like a fairy garden.
08:35Yeah.
08:36Real good.
08:37It's expanding your family.
08:39Like to have
08:40more people to love.
08:43Open up the race.
08:44It was definitely
08:44Amy's idea.
08:46I'm still a bit like
08:47in the air
08:48of what I want.
08:50Like worst case scenario
08:51happened and
08:52I realised I didn't want
08:53any of this lifestyle
08:54and she still did.
08:56I would be gutted.
08:57I'd be heartbroken.
08:58Oh my God.
09:02These guys are stunning.
09:03Since I've been
09:04in open relationships
09:05I'm probably the most
09:06confident now
09:07that I've ever been
09:08in my life.
09:10What part of the lifestyle
09:11do you think
09:12you enjoy the most?
09:14Anal.
09:15Oh my God.
09:19She's cute.
09:20Yeah.
09:21Hey guys, welcome.
09:23My first impressions
09:24of Amy and Claude
09:25they seem to be owning it
09:26and they looked really good.
09:28You've got a good vibe about them.
09:29How are you doing?
09:30Nice to meet you.
09:30Lovely to meet you.
09:32How are you feeling?
09:32Hi.
09:33Hi.
09:34I'm Naomi.
09:35I'm Chloe.
09:36Lovely to meet you.
09:37They had a very mellow vibe.
09:39That intrigues me.
09:41Like that makes me
09:41want to get to know them more.
09:42That's amazing.
09:43Come on crew.
09:44We'll see you guys later.
09:45See you later.
09:45He sounds so cool.
09:50Like I'm Claude.
09:51My name's Claude.
09:53Like wow.
09:56How do you feel?
09:58Yeah, I'm fine now.
10:00Yeah.
10:00I'm excited.
10:01Yeah.
10:04Bringing somebody in
10:05long term
10:06is a huge thing for me.
10:08It's a deal break.
10:09If I couldn't achieve that
10:11with Claude
10:11it would definitely
10:12be something that
10:13put a spanner
10:15in our relationship.
10:17I love all of you.
10:20Amy I think
10:21is brilliant.
10:22She's an amazing mum.
10:23She's an amazing wife.
10:25So losing her
10:26I would be lost.
10:27I love you.
10:31Claude and Amy.
10:33Hi.
10:33I'm Effie.
10:34Come in.
10:34Here to help Claude
10:35and Amy navigate
10:36the complex world
10:37of non-monogamy
10:38is relationship coach
10:40Effie Blue.
10:41You too.
10:41Come in.
10:42How are you feeling?
10:43Good.
10:44Really good.
10:44Excited.
10:45So I am curious
10:47what brings you
10:49here today.
10:50We want to build
10:51on our family
10:51but in a relationship
10:53way.
10:54You have multiple
10:55people to trust
10:56and take care of
10:58and they take care
10:58of you.
10:59Okay.
10:59So you're curious
11:00to find out
11:01if polyamory
11:01is right for you.
11:03Polyamory is really
11:04about having
11:05multiple loving
11:06ongoing relationships
11:07as a relationship
11:08structure.
11:09Claude,
11:10what does it mean
11:10to you to have
11:11multiple relationships?
11:12For me,
11:13the thought of it
11:15sounds amazing
11:16but maybe in
11:17practical terms
11:19it ain't as good
11:20as it sounds.
11:21Where do you think
11:22it might fail?
11:24You don't feel like
11:25you can love
11:25anybody else,
11:26do you?
11:26Yeah,
11:27not like,
11:27yeah,
11:28not the way
11:28I love you.
11:29That's huge,
11:30right?
11:31Yeah.
11:32Because I've been
11:32monogamous my whole
11:33life,
11:34doing something
11:35with another woman,
11:36even with consent,
11:38makes me feel like
11:39it's wrong.
11:40I would really enjoy
11:44if he'd gone out
11:45and just done
11:45something by himself
11:47who's someone
11:47I don't know about.
11:48OK, wow.
11:49But he has a lot
11:50of guilt.
11:51OK, and is there
11:52any infidelity
11:53in your past?
11:54No, no.
11:55At all?
11:56OK.
11:57So, what are the
11:58whispers in your,
12:00in the back of your
12:00mind that is keeping
12:03you worried about Amy?
12:05Even though it's
12:05all consensual,
12:06it still makes me
12:07feel like a bit
12:08guilty.
12:08Mm-hmm.
12:09Do you know
12:09where it's coming
12:10from?
12:10Probably just the way
12:11obviously everyone
12:12grows up thinking
12:13monogamy is the
12:14only way to be.
12:15Yeah.
12:15Do you really want
12:16this?
12:22Everything about it
12:23seems like a man's
12:24perfect dream, I guess.
12:26Not every man's.
12:27Not every, yes,
12:27you're right.
12:28No, you are right.
12:29Not every man's.
12:29Yeah.
12:30Is it your dream?
12:31That's what we're here
12:32to find out, I guess.
12:33Yeah, okay.
12:34So, we're gonna
12:36organise a social.
12:38You know, we're
12:38going to go and check
12:39in with yourselves
12:39and then separate.
12:42Claude, I want you
12:43to see if you can
12:44push through your guilt.
12:45Lean into the
12:46connections with
12:47another woman and
12:49see if you can
12:49escalate it to
12:50inviting the person
12:51to your bedroom.
12:54Amy, I know I don't
12:55need to tell you,
12:56but this is safe.
12:58Have fun.
12:59Yeah, have fun.
13:00It's brilliant.
13:01The invitation for you
13:02is the same.
13:03Yeah.
13:04Hopefully, this
13:05experience will give
13:07us insight.
13:08All right, thank you
13:09so much.
13:09Nice to meet you.
13:10Have fun.
13:11Yeah, yeah, take care.
13:12Not being together is a
13:17strange thing for us.
13:18Yeah, yeah.
13:20I understand that Amy
13:21wants this lifestyle.
13:23She wants it to happen.
13:25So I don't understand it
13:26why I still feel guilty.
13:29I'm excited.
13:31Yeah.
13:31It's going to be fun.
13:33But hopefully, after this,
13:35I won't feel like that
13:36anymore.
13:36I'm just going to see.
13:38Let's see what happens.
13:39Yeah.
13:40I've asked him,
13:41is it what you really want?
13:42I do ask him a lot
13:43and he's always said yes.
13:47He is my soulmate,
13:48but I don't ever
13:50want to lose me.
13:52And to open up the
13:53relationship, it's a
13:53massive part of who I am.
14:13Despite finally
14:15gathering the courage
14:16to take the first steps
14:17towards opening up,
14:18Sarah and Johnny
14:19have been knocked back
14:20by resident Marie.
14:21What do we do?
14:24I'm not sure.
14:26It is what it is.
14:27She's lovely,
14:27but it can't happen
14:29and it's fine, isn't it?
14:30We've got our own
14:31options open.
14:32At least we've put it
14:32out there.
14:33Something we haven't
14:34done before.
14:35That's massive progress.
14:37I haven't got it, really,
14:39because it's been a long
14:40time since I've been
14:40rejected.
14:41I'm not used to my
14:42confidence being knocked.
14:43It just hit me a little.
14:45Whilst Johnny is still
14:46recovering from the
14:47sting of rejection,
14:48Sarah shakes things up
14:49by re-approaching
14:51Jem and Daz.
14:52How are you?
14:53I'm stolen your jacket.
14:54I'm a bit chilly.
14:55I wish you had one.
14:56I've taken it.
14:57I know you'd like to
14:57answer.
14:59I'm not wearing it today.
15:00Well, if you did want to
15:03get to know us a bit
15:04better, we think you're
15:05great.
15:06So, just to say, if you
15:07did fancy jumping in the
15:09hot tub, we'd be more
15:11than happy to.
15:12We wouldn't have to do
15:13anything, but, you know,
15:15you and me could have a
15:16little kiss.
15:18Have a lovely little chat
15:19and we will get back to you.
15:20Thanks, guys.
15:21All right, guys.
15:22See you later.
15:23Bye.
15:24A couple swap is
15:27definitely something we've
15:28discussed, but I worry of
15:30Johnny getting really upset
15:32and maybe thinking, you
15:33know, is she enjoying this
15:36more than she enjoys us
15:37being together?
15:38So.
15:39So?
15:40A couple was not what we
15:41were.
15:42No.
15:43Not what we were.
15:44What we talked about,
15:45no.
15:45But she's beautiful.
15:48No.
15:48And she's, they're so,
15:50they just get her.
15:51Yeah, yeah.
15:51Am I right by saying
15:53that you're nervous,
15:53like, in case I go near
15:55a man or?
15:56No.
15:57What is it?
15:57Because I can see,
15:58I know you're inside
15:59out, Johnny, and I know
16:00right now there's something
16:01you just feel a little,
16:02little bit uncomfortable
16:03about.
16:04Is that right?
16:05Yeah.
16:05It just wasn't what we
16:07talked about.
16:07No, it's not.
16:08But nothing goes to plan,
16:09does it?
16:09Let's be honest.
16:11It wouldn't hurt to just
16:12go on the hot tub with
16:14it.
16:15Yeah.
16:15See what happens.
16:17Yeah.
16:17Are you sure?
16:17Yeah.
16:18OK.
16:18I love you.
16:20I love you.
16:21It's going to be tough
16:22to have a man in a
16:23sexual setting.
16:24Obviously, it's my alpha
16:25male that comes out
16:26and I'm like,
16:27do I want another man
16:29around my girl?
16:30Hey.
16:31We're back.
16:32Yeah.
16:32You're back.
16:33We're back.
16:34We would like to spend
16:35some more time with you.
16:36Yeah.
16:36I just think it'd be nice.
16:38Yeah, I think it'd be
16:38really fun.
16:39We'd love to.
16:40Yeah, thank you.
16:42Cool.
16:43Exciting.
16:43Hey.
16:44Hey.
16:44Hello.
16:45Hello.
16:46Hey.
16:46Hey.
16:47Are you there?
16:48Bye.
16:48Bye.
16:49Bye.
16:49Bye.
16:50See you guys.
16:51Bye.
16:51Bye.
16:52Bye.
16:52Bye.
16:53Bye.
16:53Bye.
16:54You OK?
16:54It's a big shock, isn't it?
16:56I just like...
16:57Just don't worry, OK?
16:58I love you so, honestly,
17:00there's no other man there
17:02or anywhere that I fond of all you.
17:05OK?
17:06Please just don't feel insecure or...
17:08I've got you.
17:09You got me, OK?
17:10I can tell that Johnny's a bit nervous
17:12about potentially seeing me kiss
17:13another guy, but I really want him to relax.
17:15I want him to enjoy it.
17:16I want him to enjoy the experience.
17:18I don't know.
17:19I'm just nervous about
17:20potentially seeing me kiss another guy,
17:22but I really want him to relax.
17:23I want him to enjoy it.
17:24I want him to enjoy the experience.
17:26I want him to enjoy it. I want him to enjoy the experience.
17:28I feel like you... I don't know.
17:29What, Bob?
17:30I don't know. I'm worrying about you.
17:34My mum?
17:35Are you OK?
17:36Yeah.
17:37Yeah.
17:38If you're seriously, you worry about me.
17:40I'm worried about you.
17:42It's my woman, isn't it?
17:43And I protect her with everything I do, so...
17:48I'm not jealous, but, you know, I am protective of my girl.
17:51The whole thing is, like, I don't know, it's difficult, isn't it?
17:58It's different, like, what I thought and imagined, so...
18:05We came here to open our relationship and play with a girl.
18:09So to be diving straight into a couple is not happy,
18:14but now it's crunch time.
18:21I don't know how many people...
18:28You look...
18:30Retreat newcomers Claude and Amy are getting ready for their first social.
18:34You think I should have my hair up or leave it in a ponytail?
18:37In a ponytail, absolutely.
18:41They'll be joining some of the retreat's residents
18:44for a burlesque evening in the grounds.
18:47Cheers!
18:51Amy's dream is to live a life with multiple partners,
18:54and she wants her husband Claude to get on board.
18:58What if I, like, go with a girl when you are upset about it?
19:02We've not done it before, so do it and find out.
19:06I'm a little bit apprehensive.
19:08We're going to push ourselves to be uncomfortable.
19:10Let's go.
19:12Tonight's challenge is for Claude and Amy to socialise with residents separately
19:15and escalate any connections to the bedroom without the comfort of each other.
19:25Amy definitely knows what she wants more than I do.
19:27Like, I'm still a bit, like, in the air of what I want.
19:31The couple take their first steps into unknown territory.
19:40So my preference is always above three, or foursomes and upwards,
19:46or not together.
19:48Like, Claude goes off and finds someone he likes, and I do the same.
19:51Woo!
19:52Woo!
19:53Woo!
19:54Hello!
19:55How are you?
19:56I did try and play.
19:58All right.
19:59Let's do it.
20:00Love you.
20:01Mwah.
20:03Amy heads straight for single resident Georgie,
20:06who's been exploring the world of non-monogamy for ten years.
20:07He's running.
20:08He's running off.
20:09Claude has, like, a guilt thing in his head.
20:12So he's trying to push just going off on his own and seeing how it feels.
20:15So you look amazing as well.
20:17I was meant to be in a lingerie set, but I'll show you later.
20:21And I'll show you later.
20:22And I'll show you non-laundere.
20:23Ooh!
20:24That's nice.
20:25What do I love in the bedroom?
20:26Well, like I said, I'm quite greedy.
20:27My favourite is definitely threesomes.
20:28Do you think you would ever, like, join a couple?
20:29That is my dream reality, is to be part of a triple,
20:31because I'm very much bisexual.
20:32Yeah.
20:33And I'm very much bisexual.
20:34Yeah.
20:35And I'm very much bisexual.
20:36Yeah.
20:37And I'm very much bisexual.
20:38Yeah.
20:39I'm very much bisexual.
20:40Yeah.
20:41So you look amazing as well.
20:42I was meant to be in a lingerie set, but I'll show you later.
20:44And I'll show you non-laundere.
20:45Oh, that's nice.
20:46What do I love in the bedroom?
20:47Join a couple.
20:48That is my dream reality, is to be part of a triple,
20:49because I'm very much bisexual.
20:51Yeah.
20:52If you didn't know.
20:54Georgie is fun.
20:56I love it.
20:57I love her energy.
20:58She makes me feel really comfortable, so that's, like,
21:00a really key thing for me.
21:01Sometimes I say to Claude, I feel like I might be a lesbian
21:04with a husband.
21:06Whilst Amy gets comfortable, Claude sparks a conversation
21:09with single residents Holly and Gracie.
21:12Hey!
21:13How are you?
21:14How are you?
21:15How are you?
21:16Fantastic.
21:17Nice.
21:18So how have you settled in?
21:19You all good?
21:20I'm much more nervous than Amy was, so...
21:22Really?
21:23Yeah, definitely.
21:24So is this your first time, like, trying out the lifestyle?
21:26Yeah.
21:27Turning up is the first time.
21:28Exactly, yeah.
21:29Turning up is the first time, so...
21:30How long have you two been in, like, this sort of lifestyle?
21:33About nine years ago, I was with my first boyfriend.
21:36We introduced a girl.
21:37They're a couple, and...
21:38Did you come into any, like, problems because of that?
21:41Um, yes, we did, because I...
21:43We ended up playing with this couple, and it was really awful
21:46that then I ended up leaving my guy for him.
21:49I really regret it, but, you know, I did learn from it, so...
21:54Mm-hm.
21:55Everything's a learning curve.
21:56This is definitely an out-of-my-comfort-zone feeling.
21:59It's definitely weird for me.
22:01Yeah.
22:02So what is it that brings you guys to open house?
22:03For me, it's getting past that process of, like,
22:07going out and meeting girls separately.
22:09I feel nervous about not being with Amy.
22:12I just enjoy being with her all the time.
22:16I miss her.
22:17I even know she's so close.
22:19So, we won't keep you, because we can chat all night.
22:22Yeah.
22:23So, yeah, work the room.
22:24But, yeah, we'll see you around.
22:25Yeah.
22:26See you later.
22:27See you later.
22:30Whilst Claude tries to find someone to bond with,
22:33Amy's found a kindred spirit.
22:35I've navigated non-monogamy, polyamory specifically,
22:38for eight years.
22:39Um, as a mum, as well.
22:41How many children?
22:42I just got one.
22:43Oh, I've got six.
22:44Oh, well done you, you little saint.
22:46I have a wonderful partner, um,
22:48who has been my partner in rock for eight years.
22:52My co-parent.
22:53I also have a beautiful relationship with a man in the US.
22:56I'm happy, and I just think,
22:59small people to love.
23:00I've just got too much love for one person.
23:02Yeah.
23:03Yeah.
23:04That's so nice.
23:05I think the most difficult thing about polyamory
23:07is determining who you're going to spend your nights with,
23:10who you're going to have dinners with,
23:11and it's just getting used to managing separate lives.
23:15I didn't think I was going to find anybody
23:17who had exactly the same sort of mindset.
23:20So it's nice.
23:21It's really nice.
23:22Yeah.
23:23I think it's rare.
23:24My entire polyamory journey,
23:27I've never met someone who just understood
23:30everything I was saying and reciprocated.
23:33For me, if I connect with a couple, I want to know,
23:35okay, the connection is so real that they don't mind
23:37that I'm not willing to go all...
23:39Jump into it.
23:40She's definitely on my wavelength.
23:41It's so nice to talk to someone that feels the same.
23:44I've not really thought about Claude.
23:46He could have met someone and been like,
23:48yep, that's the one.
23:50I just don't know.
23:51Yeah.
23:52TV.
23:53Like, I'm just... I'm just not.
23:54Yeah.
24:00Are you guys okay?
24:01Yeah.
24:02I've got a jacket.
24:03Shall I give you a moment?
24:04Yeah.
24:05Shall I have a second?
24:07Are you going to go back with me?
24:08No.
24:09No, why?
24:10I don't know.
24:11You're in a good connection.
24:12Yeah, we do, yeah.
24:13But I feel like it's a...
24:15maybe more of a real connection.
24:17Like, she's someone that potentially would like a future.
24:23Met anyone you like.
24:25Yeah, well, there's a few girls that are obviously nice looking,
24:28but no-one I've had that connection with, yeah.
24:31Yeah.
24:32But you should go and completely finish off your adventure.
24:36I don't know.
24:38Yeah, maybe.
24:40Claude will overthink.
24:41He'll be like, should I do this?
24:44Can I do that?
24:45For him to be able to go off and have sex with other women,
24:48that's really a big thing for us.
24:50All right?
24:51Where are you going?
24:52I don't know.
24:53I'm going to go up there.
24:56Come on, man.
24:57Brackage are with action.
24:59I love you.
25:02I love you.
25:15How do you feel about it though?
25:16I feel like...
25:17Despite entering the retreat seeking a threesome with a girl,
25:22Sarah has invited resident couple Jem and Daz to the hot tub
25:26for a potential foursome.
25:28Tell me what's going through the hood.
25:30But her partner Johnny is not happy.
25:33It's not catching my buttons, if I'm honest.
25:36No.
25:37No, I'm going to be honest, no.
25:40I didn't say this before.
25:42It's just not fair.
25:44I think a couple thing.
25:46I don't know.
25:47I don't know.
25:48It's not what we had in mind, but...
25:50We never came here for a couple swap.
25:57Hey, guys!
25:58Hey, guys!
25:59Is it hot?
26:00Well, nice.
26:01Is it?
26:02Amazing.
26:03How are you feeling?
26:04I'm okay.
26:05Are you shitting your pants?
26:06Is it written all in my face?
26:07No.
26:08Cheers, guys!
26:09Cheers!
26:10Cheers!
26:11Cheers!
26:12Cheers!
26:13So, for you guys, obviously you wanted a girl.
26:16Yeah.
26:17Has that always been the only thing you've thought about?
26:19Is there something about couple slopping that makes you uneasy?
26:22Um...
26:23Yeah, tell us.
26:24If you think about it too much, it could be a right job.
26:25Are you fine?
26:26Yeah.
26:27Yeah.
26:28Yeah.
26:29Yeah.
26:30Yeah.
26:31Yeah.
26:32Yeah.
26:33Yeah.
26:34Yeah.
26:35Yeah.
26:36Yeah.
26:37Yeah.
26:38Yeah.
26:39Yeah.
26:40Yeah.
26:41Yeah, tell us.
26:42If you think about it too much, it could be a right job.
26:44Yeah.
26:45Yeah.
26:46You can't overthink it.
26:47I think definitely the rails make Johnny a bit insecure.
26:49Massively, massively.
26:50Yeah.
26:51I'm exactly the same.
26:52For me, you don't want it to become competitive.
26:54No.
26:55Like it does with guys.
26:56Bored, yeah.
26:57How do you feel like that?
26:58Yeah, bored.
26:59Yeah, but yeah.
27:00You don't want to be in that situation and kind of being like, shit, this guy's doing
27:03some music.
27:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:06You've got to be comfortable enough to be like, hey, man, do your thing like you're doing.
27:09Yeah, yeah.
27:10I suppose that comes with experiences as well, doesn't it?
27:13Yeah, exactly.
27:14What's your reason for wanting to open up your relationship?
27:18I think when we met, we'd both come out with really serious relationships.
27:21Okay.
27:22A really unhappy relationship.
27:23And plus, you know, I haven't experienced anything with a girl, so I am a bit curious as
27:27well.
27:28Don't worry, I can help you with that.
27:30That's why we're here.
27:32So it just makes sense.
27:35I don't know, so you guys are going to kiss.
27:37Wow.
27:38That was it for you guys.
27:39Oh, Jesus.
27:40Oh.
27:41Oh, I did it.
27:42And you're going to remember it.
27:43I definitely remember it.
27:44Oh wow.
27:47Oh wow.
27:48Would you like to kiss Johnny?
27:50Yes, I'd love you too.
27:52Would you like to kiss Johnny?
27:53Yes.
27:54Would you like to kiss Johnny?
27:55Do you want to kiss Johnny?
27:56Do you want to kiss Johnny?
27:57Oh, oh, damn it!
28:03And you're going to remember it.
28:05I'm definitely going to remember it.
28:07Oh, wow.
28:08Would you like me to kiss Johnny?
28:10Yes, I'd love you to.
28:11Do you want to like to kiss?
28:12Do you want to?
28:12I don't like it later.
28:23How was that?
28:24I like it.
28:25How did you feel?
28:26I like it.
28:27It's hot.
28:27Do you want to take it to the next level?
28:38Don't think I'm ready.
28:40That's fine.
28:41I'm so sorry.
28:43No, it's all about.
28:45No, that's fine.
28:47I just didn't feel like I was ready to take that next step.
28:52You guys have helped us.
28:53You have helped us so much.
28:54You put us at ease of death.
28:56Oh, I'm so beat.
28:57That's why I should.
28:58But hopefully...
28:58Do you know what?
28:58Fair dude, he's a cool guy.
29:00Yeah, I know.
29:00I appreciate the way you are.
29:02Aw, it's hard.
29:03It takes a lot, you know.
29:04It's a big, massive, like you said, it's a massive thing.
29:06You know, you're the cool guy, yeah.
29:08Guys, we're going to leave you now because we've had loads of fun and I think you should have
29:13a little moment.
29:14A little hot tub solo time.
29:16I'm going to have another little kiss.
29:18All right, it's a great pleasure.
29:19It's a great pleasure.
29:20I know you want to see you.
29:21Good morning.
29:22It's wonderful.
29:23Nice one.
29:26See you later.
29:27Being in the hot tub with Gemma and Daz has really changed my thoughts on things.
29:31You know, they've really put my mind at ease.
29:32See you later, guys.
29:33Bye.
29:34Yeah, it's been really good.
29:38My God.
29:39How do you feel?
29:40My head was all over the gaff before.
29:41I was literally ready to fucking go right over and like, fucking see you later.
29:46See you later says I'm on.
29:48Was it that bad?
29:49Did you believe it?
29:50No, I wouldn't leave you.
29:51I'd have told you when I dragged you in.
29:53The night hasn't gone as we originally thought it would go.
29:56I'm so happy.
29:57Good.
29:58So we've got some talking to do.
30:01See what tomorrow brings.
30:03Do we want to push the boat out that little bit more?
30:06Who knows?
30:18Despite her husband Claude's uncertainty, Amy wants to bring new partners into their relationship.
30:25I'm Emily.
30:26Hi, Emily.
30:27Tonight they have been tasked with going it alone, but Claude has struggled to connect
30:32with any of the female residents, unlike Amy, who is very much at ease.
30:37Like if I really think deep inside myself, I want to love multiple people.
30:41I want to open up my home, people coming in and out.
30:44Yeah.
30:45But what about you?
30:46So yeah, like polyamory was like my first introduction to this lifestyle.
30:50Right now, single.
30:51Yeah.
30:52And just sort of exploring the lifestyle, like going to parties and stuff.
30:56Me and Amy come from that idea of just like loving everyone and sort of just making people
31:03family that aren't your stereotypical family.
31:06It's obviously quite unique, but fun.
31:10But you're open to actually joining a relationship rather than just the sex.
31:14Yeah.
31:15A hundred percent.
31:16Six babies, eh?
31:17Yeah.
31:18It is crazy.
31:19Crazy.
31:20Crazy.
31:21But I love them.
31:22Yeah.
31:23A hundred percent.
31:24Very close family.
31:25Yeah.
31:26Georgie, she's definitely a vibe.
31:28Like she seems fantastic.
31:29She seems fun.
31:30Being without Amy, for me, like we've been together like 24-7 for like the last four years.
31:37How does it make you feel?
31:40Like I'm missing something.
31:45I think, have you found it all right?
31:47Yeah.
31:48Yeah, have you?
31:49No, no.
31:50I've found it more difficult.
31:51Do you want to have a quick chat with me?
31:53It's all right.
31:54Are you okay?
31:55We're going to go up here and have a little chat.
31:57Did you struggle?
31:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:59I think.
32:00With Claude unable to fly solo, Amy has a plan.
32:05I would like to carry on with Emily talking and stuff.
32:08Me and Emily have the same sort of upbringing, that like community, like family.
32:13So what, do you want to go?
32:15We'll go together.
32:16Yeah, that sounds perfect.
32:17What about the other one?
32:18Do you want to bring her as well?
32:19Yeah, I do, but I feel like to get a better connection with her, it would be a longer,
32:25a much longer process.
32:27Yeah, yeah.
32:28And George is obviously just a fantastic vibe.
32:30She's definitely a vibrant.
32:32If you want to carry on with George, then we can just see how it goes from there.
32:38This is the ideal scenario for me, like what's the point in going separately when we can go together?
32:44The couple join forces and ramp things up a notch.
32:50Would you like to come to the hot tub with both of us?
32:55That sounds really good.
32:56I'd like to hang out with both of you guys.
32:57Yeah, maybe spend some time alone.
32:59Yeah.
33:00Get a bit warmer.
33:01Yeah, it'll be nice and cosy.
33:03We just won't get out of the hot tub.
33:05Yeah, ever.
33:06Ever.
33:07Okay.
33:08We might be going to the hot tub.
33:10Would you want to go?
33:11Okay.
33:12Yeah, yeah, go.
33:13That's it.
33:14Yeah.
33:15I understand that the dynamic they're after is more of an emotional connection.
33:20I've been in this world for a long time, and for me it has just been the physical,
33:24and I'm definitely looking for something deeper and meaningful and looks like they're looking for it too.
33:37I just wanted to see if there's anything more both of them want.
33:40For me, like, I haven't got that connection with them yet.
33:44But I feel like sometimes it's good when you talk to someone and then you'll like kiss
33:48and then you feel like, oh yeah, it is there.
33:51We're coming!
33:58This is the first time we've done anything like this.
34:02I'm a little bit apprehensive.
34:04Oh, yeah.
34:05Oh, God, that's really nice.
34:07Really?
34:08It's lovely.
34:09Toasty.
34:10Your youngest baby, is it one?
34:11One.
34:12Did you say one?
34:13Yeah, she's one.
34:14How old are the children?
34:16I don't know if I've got it right.
34:17So how old are my children?
34:18I don't know if I've got it right.
34:19Twelve.
34:20Eleven.
34:21Nine.
34:22Seven.
34:23Three.
34:24One.
34:25I'm definitely in a weird spot.
34:26I think I'm on a leg rest.
34:27Yeah, I feel like I'm...
34:28I'm like hovering.
34:29Maybe if I sit there, is that okay?
34:30Yeah, go for it.
34:31Should we have a little kiss, guys?
34:34Let's see this guy?
34:35But I'll look at you.
34:36Bear with me, doesn't she?
34:41Is that okay?
34:42He looks so...
34:44Yes!
34:45Wow!
34:46It's so soft and gentle.
34:47It's a plaintiff.
34:51That's fine.
34:52Yeah.
34:53Get in touch and smile.
34:55That was so soft and gentle.
34:58For me, seeing my name with another woman is definitely out of my comfort zone.
35:05I've got the tingles.
35:08Oh, well, I'll kiss you all the time.
35:11All right, yeah, fine.
35:21I think the only thing that is holding him back is how much he loves me
35:26and that society tells us that this is just not the normal.
35:31In the back of his mind, he's like, if I hurt her, I can't undo what I've done.
35:47I think if Claude was like, OK, this is not the lifestyle for me,
35:51it would definitely be something that, you know, stopped us moving forward.
35:57I can't count past ten. I've fucking only got ten fingers.
36:02Hey, I've only got ten fingers.
36:04Sarah and Johnny have woken up eager to see what their second day brings.
36:09If it goes really well, we'd like to have a non-monogamy relationship.
36:13Ideally, that's where we'd like this to go to.
36:15And just for me to gain the confidence to be able to live a non-monogamous life.
36:18My toes, it's 20.
36:19I can't see my toes.
36:20I've got one you've got.
36:21I've got one you've got.
36:22You've got 11 toes.
36:23You've got 11 toes.
36:24All right, love.
36:25I haven't actually. I've got...
36:26You have.
36:27You've got ten and a camel toe.
36:28I've got ten and a camel toe.
36:30And I've got a lot of times.
36:31If it goes really well, we'd like to have a non-monogamy relationship.
36:34Ideally, that's where we'd like this to go to.
36:36And just for me to gain the confidence to be able to live a non-monogamous life.
36:43My toes, it's 20.
36:45I can't see my toes.
36:47I've got one you've got...
36:48I've got one you've got.
36:50Last night, Sarah was keen to invite a couple to the hot tub.
36:56All right, let's go. Just one more lock in the mirror.
37:00Much to her partner Johnny's initial discomfort.
37:03Go again.
37:05So they're hoping a chat with the retreat's non-monogamy coach Effie will iron out some confusion.
37:11Hello. Hello. Welcome, welcome. Come in. Jump on the couch, get comfy.
37:16Thank you. So your first date retreat, how was it?
37:22Surprising really. Okay, tell me all.
37:25It shifted a little bit. We actually met a really nice couple.
37:28Okay. Yeah, and so we ended up having a bit of time with a couple.
37:32With Johnny. I could tell he just completely froze.
37:35I was ready to go. What was scary?
37:38It's an alpha male thing, isn't it? You know, are you competing with another man?
37:42Yeah. Well, you know, that's how I feel about it, you know.
37:45Okay. Okay, kind of. Yeah.
37:47A man-to-man alpha competition. Yeah, it's a man thing, I'd say, yeah.
37:51I've stuck with my guns and I, yeah, I'm glad I did.
37:53I'm proud of him. I am really proud of him.
37:55I felt a bit emotional, yeah. It does make me emotional now because it's just such a big thing.
38:00What's coming up for you now? I don't know. They're not sad tears.
38:03They're just like, yeah, relief tears, if anything.
38:06Okay. What's the relief from?
38:08That we've finally made that step in the right direction and, yeah, what's to come?
38:14It's just like, I'm excited but I'm obviously still a bit apprehensive, a bit nervous as well.
38:19Okay. Tell me more about that.
38:20So, obviously, last night it was just a kiss and stuff because a guy was never the plan.
38:26So, you know, in a short space of time we're sort of getting our heads around that I could possibly be kissing a guy later or even take it further.
38:34And it just makes me a little bit nervous.
38:36Okay. First of all, you don't have to do anything you don't want to.
38:38No, I know that, yeah.
38:39Uh-huh. And at the same time you are here to push boundaries and have these experiences in this beautiful safe space that we create for you.
38:47Yeah.
38:48What do you think that you might want to explore going forward?
38:51For the first time I actually feel maybe it was that a couple was bad for us.
38:56Actually, I find more the merrier.
38:58I think when, as the numbers get bigger, the pressure goes down a little bit because the attention kind of spreads.
39:06Yeah.
39:07Does that make sense?
39:08Yeah.
39:09And what do you think about the idea of a moresome or a potentially...
39:12Scared of shit on me.
39:13Yeah.
39:14Okay.
39:15I think it's a bit much, actually, to get my head around.
39:17Yeah.
39:18A little.
39:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:20Just the little baby steps.
39:21Sure.
39:22So it just depends.
39:23Yes, baby steps, but towards what?
39:24Right?
39:25Is the question.
39:26Yeah.
39:27Yeah, I don't.
39:28I'm not sure.
39:29Yeah, no.
39:30Okay.
39:31Okay.
39:32Keep it in your mind.
39:33Keep having conversations.
39:34And I want you to at least mentally be prepared for all the different things that happen that you can get involved in.
39:38Yeah.
39:39Just don't be one-track minded.
39:40Exactly.
39:41Yeah.
39:42And it's really up to you which path you go down on.
39:44Okay.
39:45One of Effie's suggestions was that possibly more people joining the experience would be easier.
39:52Go forward.
39:53Have fun.
39:55Take care.
39:56We're not quite sure about that, are we?
39:58It sort of freaks us out a little bit, scares us, doesn't it?
40:01Do you feel the bikini better?
40:02I don't know.
40:03I don't know.
40:04How do you feel?
40:05Do you feel confident enough?
40:06I'm going to try the bikini now because I don't feel amazing.
40:08Sarah and Johnny are getting ready for their second social.
40:22A poolside barbecue with a mixture of both single and coupled up residents.
40:27We're really looking forward to the pool party today.
40:30We are here for a reason because we do want to push our boundaries and have experiences
40:35because it's really important for us to keep our sex life exciting.
40:40Beautiful.
40:43I think if we don't do it now, then I don't think we're ever going to.
40:46We're going to go in and we're going to just be ourselves, be confident and just let our
40:50hairs down a bit.
40:51Let your hair down.
40:52We've got your hair down, haven't we?
40:53Look at that.
40:54Hi, guys.
40:55You look amazing.
40:57Hi, guys.
40:58Hi.
40:59You look amazing.
41:01Hi, guys.
41:02You're doing good.
41:03You're doing good.
41:04Hi, guys.
41:05You're doing good.
41:06How are you?
41:07Yeah, how are you?
41:08Good.
41:09Amazing.
41:10I'm taking you over here.
41:11Okay.
41:12You're staying with the lad.
41:13How are you?
41:14How are you?
41:15Hi, guys.
41:16You look stunning.
41:22It's difficult for me because I've not done it before with seeing my message with another
41:27man.
41:28I'm just like, how do you guys?
41:29The first time you dealt with it, you know?
41:31I was worried how I'd feel, you know, seeing it initially, seeing it happening.
41:36But no, I immediately loved it.
41:38Did you?
41:39It doesn't mean me and Jen love each other any less.
41:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:43And it just really works for us.
41:44If we were to delve into, like, couple swapping, I always think in me head, I go, like, I'm
41:49with the other girl.
41:50And am I going to be with that other girl, but thinking what's going on over the other,
41:54do you know what I mean?
41:55That type of thing.
41:56You want her to have a good time.
41:57And just don't focus on it, you know?
41:59Enjoy the moment.
42:00Yeah, yeah.
42:01And just stop thinking it in a negative way.
42:03Some burgers.
42:04Look at them, bad boys.
42:05Here we go, girls.
42:06Who wants the burger?
42:07Burger boys.
42:08Is that like a burger boy?
42:10Should we let you play a game?
42:13It's not long before the residents suggest a game of spin the bottle.
42:17Who wants to start?
42:19Go on, Sarah.
42:20Give us a good spin.
42:21Go on.
42:22Bye.
42:23Bye.
42:24Bye.
42:25If Sarah does kiss someone, it's something new to me, so I'm not sure how I'm going to
42:34feel.
42:35We are here to push ourselves.
42:37Yeah.
42:38Come on.
42:39Hey there.
42:40OK.
42:41Are you OK, babe?
42:42It's all right.
42:43I've got to share it.
42:44So how are you guys feeling?
42:47Yeah, really good, you know.
42:48We're really having fun, aren't we?
42:49Yeah.
42:50That's our aim.
42:51We're on a high right now, aren't we?
42:52Yeah.
42:53Amazing.
42:54Cheers, guys.
42:55Cheers.
42:56Cheers.
42:57So where do you want to take it now?
42:58So, yeah.
42:59We don't want to call it a night yet, do we?
43:01No.
43:02Let's not call it a night.
43:03No.
43:04Let's go and have some fun, guys.
43:05OK.
43:06OK.
43:07I know I have a lovely year to come.
43:09Cheers!
43:10Cheers, guys!
43:11Cheers!
43:12Cheers!
43:13So why do you want to take it now?
43:16So, yeah, we don't want to call it a night yet, do we?
43:19No, we're not calling it.
43:20No!
43:21Let's go have some fun, guys!
43:24I know of a lovely year to come.
43:29Yeah, Effie suggested, why don't you guys, like, go into more of a...
43:35more people setting?
43:36You know, we're open-minded and we're going to go with the flow, yeah?
43:43Things might start to progress with everyone,
43:45and if they want to join in, they can.
43:47I'd answer them, I think they're hot.
43:49Yeah, and I'm also...fancy her, yeah.
43:55Oh, wow! This is gorgeous!
43:58Whoa!
43:59Oh, I love it!
44:00Oh, look!
44:01Oh, look!

44:05Oh, look!
44:06Oh, look!
44:07Oh, look!
44:08Oh, look!
44:09Oh, look!
44:10We're going to play some fun, naughty games, aren't we?
44:12Oh, well.
44:13Yeah.
44:14We're going to play some fun, naughty games.
44:15Oh!
44:16Oh!
44:17Oh!

44:38Yeah.
44:39Nipple.
44:40Oh, bro.
44:42Gracie!
44:43Gracie, guys, fight!
44:45I'm so excited!

45:13We might as well.
45:14See you guys in a bit, nice here!
45:15See you in a bit, guys!
45:16See you in a bit, guys!
45:17So right now I know Johnny's not himself, he's anxious, he's uptight, he's worried about potentially what's going to happen.
45:26Alright babe, how are you feeling?
45:28Yeah, I'm good. I'll tell you how I'm feeling. Tell me how you feel.
45:32It's just overwhelming for all the people there. I'm just like, what?
45:36It's too much for me, you know? I'm struggling with it.
45:40And it's just hit me. It's just hit me.
45:47Next time on Open House...
45:50I feel like I made a mistake last night.
45:54I never want to see her upset.
45:59I've got to be okay with Alex being with another woman.
46:04Are you okay if I, like, put a hand on you?
46:08Yeah, I've seen women as more of a threat.
46:11I don't understand why it is an issue, but it is.
46:13We had a tour, but we'd rather, like, have a few less people, so...
46:18That's fair enough.
46:19It is weird, isn't it?
46:21Fuckers!
