00:00...are about to find out.
00:01Oh, that is gorgeous.
00:03They're traveling to a unique retreat.
00:05Hello, you all right?
00:07Where, with the help of a specialist relationship therapist...
00:11Life is short. Why limit sex to just one person?
00:16...and a group of single, available, and sexually liberated residents...
00:21It's just natural to have sex with multiple people.
00:26They're about to discover if their sexual fantasies
00:29can become a reality.
00:34It'd be like the idea of group sex.
00:37We were just wondering if you'd like to spend the night with us.
00:39...and whether or not they'll be able to break one of society's greatest taboos...
00:44I should have been thinking about the man that I love and how he was feeling.
00:50...and have sex with other people.
00:53Oh, my God!
00:55Wow, I was not expecting that.
00:57This is the most up my comfort zone I've ever been.
01:01I'm nervous.
01:12Yeah.
01:13I've got butterflies.
01:14How are you feeling?
01:16Yeah, buzzing.
01:17Checking into the retreat are Ellie and Chaos, whose love affair began online.
01:22When I first saw Ellie, she was wearing these very small shorts...
01:26...and her bum was, like, kind of hanging out.
01:28Oi!
01:29It was a very hot day, so...
01:31You ready to have fun, Ellie?
01:32Yeah.
01:34Can't wait.
01:36Chaos was quick to take the relationship to the next level.
01:39I prepared this video.
01:41Will you be my girlfriend?
01:43And it went viral.
01:44I went bright red.
01:46Literally the shade of a tomato.
01:47And all the comments were saying about how...
01:50Tomorrow's a little bit.
01:51Yeah.
01:52That's it.
01:53As a professional GB athlete, Chaos knows how to stay cool under pressure.
01:59I'm just a really chilled and laid-back person.
02:02I have complete trust in Ellie and what she does, so I have nothing to worry or be jealous of her.
02:08And being super fit helps him keep up in the bedroom.
02:12We do do it, like, well, every day.
02:15The chemistry is good, so we're quite adventurous.
02:19Top notch.
02:21I would probably say that I have a very high, like, sex drive, and, yeah, it's hard to find someone that matches that.
02:28Now the couple want to find out if opening up their relationship, starting with a threesome, will help them keep the spark alive.
02:36I would say the honeymoon period is over, but we're still very much so attracted to each other.
02:42I do think it's a bit naive to think that you can be with one person for your entire life.
02:47Can we see her?
02:49Yes.
02:50Oh, my God.
02:52How are you doing?
02:53Here to welcome them are hosts Jess and Tom, who are in a long-term open relationship themselves.
02:59How are you feeling?
03:01Very excited to see what's to come, yeah.
03:03Hello.
03:04Hello, everyone.
03:05Hi, everyone.
03:07Now, Kea.
03:08Nice to meet you.
03:09Nice to meet you.
03:10God, you look so good.
03:11Yeah.
03:16Intimacy therapist Dr. Laurie Beth wants to help the couple take their first steps into non-monogamy.
03:22Hey, grab a chair.
03:24It's good to meet you, too.
03:25So why don't you tell me what has brought you here?
03:29We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to have a threesome.
03:32Yep.
03:33Seeing Eddie, for example, kiss another girl or anything like that, I'm attracted to that.
03:38So...
03:39I think that's Kea's ideal scenario.
03:41I mean, that's kind of every guy's dream, let's be honest.
03:45What do you think other people might bring to your relationship?
03:48I mean, more fun, I guess.
03:49Yeah, I guess.
03:50Yeah.
03:50Okay.
03:50Yeah.
03:51More fun.
03:52Yeah.
03:53So where are you in your sexuality?
03:55I've always said I don't really label things.
03:57I never consider myself as straight or bisexual.
04:00I've always had attraction to both sexes, so that's really how I feel.
04:05So opportunities are structured with that in mind?
04:08Yes, yeah.
04:10What is jealousy like for you?
04:12I've never been jealous in my life, really.
04:14I mean, I've nothing.
04:15I don't know how, like, there's nothing that will make Kea's jealous, he says, so that's
04:20interesting.
04:20Not that I know of, ain't it?
04:21Yeah, exactly.
04:23But nothing that comes to mind.
04:24What's jealousy like for you?
04:26Slightly a bit jealous.
04:27I mean, it would be strange not to be.
04:28I don't think that he would ever do anything behind my back, so I do fully trust him in
04:33that way.
04:34But I can be a little bit jealous.
04:37Okay, so before you date together, Ellie, I want you to go on a social alone.
04:43I want you to explore your bisexuality on your own first, without Kea's there, so you
04:49don't have to worry about jealousy.
04:51You'll have the opportunity to meet someone, spend the night with them, and lay the groundwork
04:56for a threesome.
04:57Yeah, that sounds good to me.
04:59Cool.
05:00It's hard to predict how someone will react seeing their partner give or receive pleasure
05:05from another.
05:06She's not actually sure she might get jealous seeing him with another woman.
05:10It can be fine one minute, and absolutely not fine the next.
05:15We're going to go away and have socials, so mine's tonight.
05:20That's what's got my nerves going, but I guess I'm excited as well.
05:24Give me a hug.
05:27We're going to throw ourselves into it, I think.
05:32Give it 100%, see what it's about.
05:34Yeah, and have fun with it.
05:35The couple have only just arrived at the retreat, and one of them has already made a big impression
05:43on the residence.
05:45When Ellie came in, yeah, she was so confident, I was just like, I didn't even care about the
05:50car, I was just looking at her like, oh, she looked classy as well.
05:52Very.
05:53She is bisexual.
05:54Oh, she is bisexual.
05:55Yeah.
05:55Oh, okay, cool.
05:56And he's straight.
05:57There's a lot of girls that are okay with getting with a girl, but wouldn't want the guy to have
06:01sex with her.
06:02Girl, yeah.
06:02So they'll be having fun, and he can just watch?
06:05Watch.
06:05Yeah.
06:09Are you scared?
06:11A little bit.
06:12Next to check into this exclusive retreat are couple Helen and Steve from Dorset.
06:18My first impression of Steve, I thought he was Jack the lad.
06:23Remember, you sent me a picture of a bed at a hotel, a four poster bed saying, are we going
06:28to hang out?
06:29I thought, who's this man think he is?
06:32She had a lovely smile, but it was her arse.
06:34She had a very nice bum.
06:37I didn't fall in love with him.
06:39He irritated me.
06:40He would contact me about three times a year on Facebook.
06:44All right, babe, when are we going to get married then?
06:46And then my house burnt down, and he offered to help.
06:51And I don't know, I kind of really fancied him with his brush, painting my walls.
06:55And now she drives a Range Rover Sport.
06:57What a life.
06:58I mean, well, Kusty, you couldn't go wrong meeting me, babe, could you?
07:02Wow.
07:03Oh, look at the river.
07:04Look at the size of that lake as well, look.
07:06Don't have too many drinks, Steve.
07:07You'd be skinny dipping in there.
07:08Damn right I will.
07:10The couple have been together for four years and have a one-year-old child.
07:15My daughter is my baby girl.
07:17My pride and joy.
07:19And she'd make anyone broody?
07:21Broody, does that mean horny?
07:22No.
07:23See, he's funny with words.
07:25He doesn't get them all.
07:27Helen and Steve have no complaints between the sheets.
07:30I'd rate Steve nine out of ten in the bedroom.
07:33This tongue is better than anything you get at Ann Summers.
07:38Ann Summers has got nothing on my tongue.
07:41That's fair.
07:42It's true, don't it?
07:42Yeah, that's fair.
07:44Oh, my gosh.
07:45The size of that.
07:47Steve and Helen are here to explore if being in an open relationship with other people can make them stronger as a couple.
07:55Here we are.
07:55Let's go.
07:57It's an opportunity to discover what we both really, truly want.
08:01I think this will make a huge difference to our relationship.
08:06Wow, pretty, isn't it?
08:07I'm excited about going on this journey.
08:09It's definitely an eye-opener.
08:10Hey, guys.
08:14It's nice to meet you.
08:16I'm going to give you a hug and a play.
08:18How you doing, mate?
08:18You all right?
08:19Yeah, really good, mate.
08:20Smart hat, isn't it?
08:21Nice to meet you, Jess.
08:22Welcome to the house.
08:25Take you on a tour around the place, yeah?
08:27Yeah, I'd do it this way.
08:28Oh, yeah, you all right?
08:29Good, thank you.
08:30Nice to meet you.
08:35This is Steve.
08:36He's got thrown in the deep end.
08:38Obviously, with letting them, it's quite hard.
08:40Yeah, I might feel a little bit uneasy,
08:42him going on a date with someone else.
08:44So, yeah, cross that bridge when I come into it.
08:53You've got to get me some sexy outfit.
08:56Ellie and Chaos are hoping to bring another woman
08:58into their relationship.
09:00But before they date as a couple...
09:02I mean, I'm no fashion expert, but...
09:06I think it goes.
09:07Dr. Laurie wants Ellie to explore her bisexuality
09:11without having to manage her jealousy,
09:14so she's going on a solo social.
09:16Being a little bitch right now.
09:18You need to have it a little bit up.
09:20No, like, point.
09:21Yeah, like that.
09:21Oh.
09:23And that's better.
09:24I love staring at a palette.
09:25If she makes a connection with someone,
09:29she'll have the opportunity to invite them
09:31to spend the night with her.
09:32It is amazing that I'm finally kind of getting to explore this
09:37when I'm in a relationship with Chaos.
09:39It's going to be a great experience.
09:40Yeah.
09:41Sexy, yes.
09:43I think she's going to enjoy herself,
09:45and I look forward to hearing all the gossip about it.
09:48Yeah, you look good.
09:50Looking good as well.
09:51Does it look good?
09:52Yeah.
09:53I'm excited to get to know new people and have fun.
09:56I'm taking it as it comes,
09:57so we'll have to wait and see what is in store.
10:00Have fun.
10:01What?
10:02No.
10:03See you tomorrow.
10:04I'll see you tomorrow.
10:05Love you too.
10:06Tonight, Ellie has a chance to socialize
10:15at a party where all the guests share a belief
10:17in the benefits of non-monogamy.
10:20Hi.
10:21Hello.
10:22You OK?
10:23Good.
10:23Nice to see you again.
10:24Nice to see you too.
10:26Host Jess is on hand to make sure things run smoothly.
10:30Wanted to introduce you to Ellie.
10:32So have you been having a good day?
10:33Yeah, so, I mean, we were throwing the D-pad.
10:36I don't know what to expect.
10:38I really don't know.
10:39It would be nice to find out their expectations as well.
10:42I don't know whether they'd find me attractive.
10:46Do you have, like, a relationship with a girl?
10:47No.
10:48Have any of you?
10:49No.
10:50No.
10:50I have.
10:52Yeah?
10:53How was that?
10:55Chaos is quite comfortable for me to get with a girl
10:57because he obviously finds that attracted to him.
11:01Hi, ladies.
11:02But he doesn't find it with men,
11:04so he wouldn't want me to do that.
11:06What are you?
11:07Sagittarius.
11:07OK.
11:08Yeah, I'm cancer.
11:09OK, yeah.
11:10So...
11:10Chaos is a Leo.
11:12Oh, really?
11:13My ex was a Leo.
11:15Oh.
11:15Yeah, so...
11:16We're picking the same ones as well.
11:19Aries and Leos,
11:20they're, like, the ones that I've always been, like,
11:22romantically involved with.
11:23So drawn to you.
11:25Yeah.
11:25Yeah, like, literally know what other signs put them.
11:27Me being Aries and Chaos being Leo.
11:29Yeah, I know, it's the year, like, I'm the best of you.
11:32How long have you two been together for?
11:34A year.
11:35Oh, we don't...
11:36Like, we...
11:36We were dating before that.
11:38Oh, OK.
11:38And we were pretty much exclusive when we were dating,
11:40so it's been more than a year.
11:41Yeah, a bit efficient.
11:42Yeah.
11:42A year.
11:43Yeah.
11:44Well, our anniversary is on the 27th of this month.
11:46Oh, OK.
11:47So soon.
11:47Do you have any fit, Q?
11:49Uh, no, not yet.
11:50A threesome.
11:51Yeah, a threesome!
11:52Don't!
11:53That's what he wanted for his birthday.
11:54Oh, of course you did.
11:56Oh, Gracie, you're available on the 27th.
11:58Yeah.
11:59Oh, yeah, I think I'm happy to vote.
12:02Cheers, Libby.
12:04Cheers.
12:04To help Ellie get comfortable with non-monogamy,
12:08the residents have arranged a game of spin the bottle.
12:11That's you.
12:12That is a 100% new girl.
12:14Whee!
12:16Kissing someone else while in a committed relationship
12:19is a first for Ellie.
12:21I'm nervous, because I feel like it's all eyes on me,
12:25so that makes me very nervous.
12:30Oh, let's go on, let's go.
12:33Literally.
12:33It's easy, because we're so next to each other.
12:35Exactly.
12:37Whee!
12:38Yes, ladies!
12:41That's really cute.
12:42Yeah, you've got very nice lips.
12:44Oh, thank you.
12:45For me, kissing the girls, there's no feelings involved.
12:49It's just a game, like, just have fun with it.
12:57Ooh, oh, hi.
13:01Game over.
13:02Ellie's decided she would like to spend time alone
13:05with one of the residents.
13:06With girls, it's harder to choose.
13:09They're all so lovely,
13:10and I didn't get to kiss Gracie,
13:13and obviously she's, like, so pretty.
13:15And I chose Gracie.
13:17Yay!
13:17Woo-hoo!
13:18Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen!
13:20Woo!
13:22For Ellie, the date is an opportunity
13:24to lay the groundwork for a threesome
13:26before boyfriend Chaos gets involved.
13:29Her vibe is great.
13:31Like, she seems really fun.
13:33I do fancy Ellie, yeah.
13:34She is really, really sweet.
13:36She's definitely my type.
13:37So, yeah, I think me and Ellie got on really, really well.
13:40And the girls could see it as well,
13:42so that's also a good sign.
13:45It definitely makes me nervous,
13:47but I just take it step by step,
13:49and, you know, if you're comfortable with it,
13:52then just have fun with it.
13:53Ellie is on a date without Chaos
14:08before the couple trial opening up their relationship together.
14:12Would you like to even do the honors?
14:13Yeah, you first, darling.
14:16Oh, adorable.
14:17This is cute.
14:18This is literally like glamping.
14:19It is, isn't it?
14:21And she's invited Grace
14:22to spend some one-on-one time with her.
14:24I'm going to take my heels off.
14:26Please, get comfortable.
14:28Cheers.
14:29Chin-chin.
14:30This is obviously my first time on a date with a girl,
14:33so that is really exciting,
14:35and, like, I can't wait to explore that side of my sexuality.
14:39I guess you're, like, open to getting to, like, know me
14:42and, I mean, Chaos as well.
14:44Yeah.
14:45You'd be happy to, like, have a relationship
14:46with someone who's in a relationship,
14:48or be involved in their relationship, like...
14:51Yeah, either way.
14:52Like, because it would be me coming to, like,
14:56your two's relationship.
14:57Yeah.
14:57Whatever works best for you two.
15:00While Ellie and Grace get to know each other more intimately,
15:04Chaos is keeping himself busy.
15:07I would like to think she's having a good time.
15:11You know, I'll find out tomorrow.
15:12I feel a little good just to work out,
15:16I'll just tie myself up,
15:18but the only thing is there's loads of wasps in here,
15:21and bugs are a big no-no for me.
15:25Oh, fucking spiders.
15:27So I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight in this room
15:29knowing there's two wasps flying around.
15:34Back in the yurt,
15:35the girls have found a game to play.
15:38Shall we try these dices out?
15:39Yeah, you want to?
15:43Okay, so you're my lover.
15:45Okay, cool.
15:46So you've got to lick me.
15:48Where do you want to...
15:48Are you having me to lick you?
15:50I'm having me to lick you.
15:52Okay, I'll just let you be a surprise.
16:01That was nice.
16:02Was it?
16:02And that's actually, like, one of my spots,
16:04so I was like...
16:05Like, I'm sorry.
16:07Okay, cool.
16:08I threw myself into it
16:11and, like, tried to see
16:12whether I could develop, like,
16:13a deeper connection.
16:15Okay, my turn.
16:18Massage.
16:19Oh, my God, yes!
16:20Wow!
16:23You've got very, very, very soft skin.
16:25Yeah, it's very nice.
16:27Oh, it's so good.
16:30Amazing!
16:31Okay, well, clearly it was just kiss my boobs.
16:33So, feel free.
16:35Boob kiss, kiss my boobs.
16:37Yeah, well, I'll give a little...
16:42Loved it.
16:43Yeah?
16:44Yeah.
16:44Before I turn the light off,
16:50do you want to have a little kiss?
16:54It feels like, you know,
16:57it would have been so much tonight.
16:59It was quite a new experience,
17:01so maybe, I don't know,
17:02maybe I was just a bit nervous.
17:03Kind of, um,
17:04hard for me when I already have an emotional connection
17:07with someone else in a relationship.
17:19Committed couple Helen and Steve
17:21have come to the retreat
17:22to explore opening up their relationship
17:24to other sexual partners.
17:26Hey, guys.
17:27Hello.
17:28Come on in and sit down.
17:29Dr. Laurie is on hand
17:30to help the couple brave their first few steps
17:33into non-monogamy.
17:34So, what brought you here now?
17:39I want to date other people,
17:41have a connection with someone.
17:43You're the driving force.
17:44Would that be a fair thing to say?
17:46Would you say me?
17:47Yeah, definitely.
17:48On this experience,
17:50I've pushed this a little bit more
17:51because I want Steve to recognize things
17:54that are important in a relationship
17:56because there's a lot of things
17:58that we don't do together.
18:00What's the romance like in your relationship?
18:03Steve's very, very busy.
18:04All the time.
18:05You know, I'm a busy person too.
18:08We don't have a massive amount of time
18:10for each other.
18:11If romantic is nice,
18:13I could write you a list.
18:14I'm always nice to her like that.
18:15I'm just that sort of guy.
18:17Isn't it?
18:17That's not romantic.
18:18Romance is whining and dying
18:20someone and taking them out.
18:21We've not been for a date yet.
18:22I'd check you on the back of my jet ski.
18:24Steve, do you have any ideas
18:25of things that you would like to do?
18:27I don't think I could just meet someone
18:28and just jump into a bedroom.
18:29I think I'd have to get to know the people more.
18:33Consensual non-monogamy
18:34takes lots of different forms.
18:36This gives you the opportunity
18:37to see how different things feel
18:38and to challenge some of your boundaries
18:41that come from monogamy.
18:43We've got quite a good relationship
18:44with sort of, you know,
18:46we don't have the insecurities or anything.
18:50You love me, don't you?
18:51Of course, babe.
18:51Oh, there you go.
18:52Well, that was a pretty quick response.
18:56So tonight,
18:58you're each going to go on a social,
18:59spending the nights separately.
19:02Then, you're each going to have the opportunity
19:03to choose somebody to spend
19:05one-to-one time with.
19:07You don't have to do anything,
19:09but I'm encouraging you
19:10to push out the boat a little bit.
19:13Yeah, lovely.
19:14Come on then, Steve.
19:16Nice to meet you.
19:17See you later on.
19:17You too.
19:17This is a really interesting couple.
19:24I suspect that there's an emotional void in Helen
19:27that is really driving this whole thing,
19:29but I'm not sure that meeting
19:30and potentially having sex with other people
19:33is going to fill that void.
19:36I'm really curious to see
19:38how they do on their socials.
19:40That's so nice, isn't it?
19:42Yeah.
19:42Oh, so nice.
19:44So, where do you find yourself at with this?
19:49I don't know.
19:50I think...
19:51It's very hard, Steve, isn't it?
19:55Yeah.
19:56I am looking forward to my social.
19:58It's a good bunch of people.
19:59It'd be good to get out and enjoy the company
20:01and see where it takes us.
20:02I just plan to have some fun.
20:04But Steve is considering the potential risks.
20:08I wouldn't mind being game and experimenting.
20:11Would you let me go and bang...
20:12Sorry, sleep with one...
20:14Would you let me go and sleep with one of these women
20:16just to go in on a trial
20:17just to see what I was like?
20:19It's not a laughing matter, this, really.
20:21This is very serious decisions, Ellie.
20:23All right, put the whip down.
20:24Last night, Ellie went on her first-ever date with a girl.
20:37Hello.
20:37Hello, stranger.
20:39While boyfriend Chaos spent the night alone.
20:42Yeah, I think Gracie's really attractive.
20:44She has, like, such a nice smile
20:45and, like, her skin is so good.
20:47I love her freckles, her hair, everything.
20:50But it's not that I really want to rip your clothes off kind of thing.
20:53I was, like, nervous to see my own boyfriend.
20:57Are they new?
20:58No, they're Gracie's.
21:03So, tell me about the night.
21:05What did you do?
21:06No, I'll tell you... You tell yours.
21:09Well, we played spin the bottle.
21:12Yeah.
21:12So I kissed Kelsey and Chanel.
21:15When Ellie told me that she was kissing multiple girls
21:18doing spin the bottle,
21:19I thought that was quite hot, to be honest.
21:21I mean, who wouldn't?
21:22I think that's...
21:23For me, that's a turn-on.
21:25So I've got...
21:26Yeah, I'm all for that.
21:27Then Gracie.
21:29And we went to a yurt.
21:32I ended up licking her neck.
21:33I mean, she licked my neck.
21:35And I, like, kissed her boob.
21:38So you had quite a fun night, then.
21:39Tonight, the couple will have the chance
21:42to invite someone on a date together
21:44in the hope of having a threesome for the first time.
21:48I just don't know how much I feel
21:49about you going and kissing people.
21:52Well, you know it's going to...
21:54Something like that is going to happen.
21:55You don't know.
21:56Yeah, but obviously you don't have to.
22:00No, but...
22:01I'm going to be nervous and maybe...
22:03Maybe jealous, I don't know.
22:04For me, him kissing girls,
22:07that's definitely tiptoeing on my boundaries.
22:20Helen and Steve are getting ready for separate socials.
22:24Got chicken legs at a minute.
22:25Dr Laurie wants them to try and make a connection with someone
22:28and then invite them to spend some time together alone on a date.
22:32My expectations are to have fun
22:36and go on dates with a couple of people.
22:38It will be nice.
22:39The social will be an opportunity for Helen to experience romance,
22:44something she thinks her relationship lacks.
22:47Remember Christmas Eve?
22:48I wanted us to wear Christmas pyjamas
22:50and watch a movie together and you were at the pub.
22:53Yeah.
22:54It's Christmas, isn't it?
22:54It's when you go out at Christmas, isn't it?
22:55No, family time.
22:56Family time.
22:58I'm out of here.
22:59Have fun.
23:01Love you.
23:02Come on.
23:11The retreat's sexually liberated residents
23:13are ready to welcome the couple.
23:16So thank you.
23:17Hello.
23:19I'm good, thank you.
23:20Nice to see you.
23:21You look stunning.
23:21You're too, my man.
23:22I'm looking for stuff.
23:24Steve.
23:25How you doing?
23:26How you doing, man?
23:26How you doing, man?
23:27You get many parties like this, do you?
23:28No, absolutely not.
23:29No.
23:29No, absolutely not.
23:30Hello.
23:33How you doing?
23:33You all right?
23:34How you doing?
23:34You doing all right?
23:35Enjoy.
23:36Have a nice evening.
23:37What's happening, girls?
23:39So what brings you here, then?
23:40Experience, isn't it?
23:41Yeah.
23:42I've used to it.
23:42I've never done anything like this before.
23:44I just mean, like, like, an open relationship.
23:46No, never.
23:46Like, when I went on dates or anything like that with anyone else, or I had, like, a threesome
23:50or anything.
23:50No.
23:51No.
23:51Ready to spice things up later, you're like, yeah, let's just go in.
23:55See how the boat goes, innit?
23:55Yeah.
23:56Yeah.
23:56Yeah.
23:56Not used to dating etiquette, Steve takes a novel approach to flirting.
24:03What's your ideal date night, then?
24:04Bit Emmerdale Farmer in front of the telly, innit?
24:06It's quite hard.
24:15I'm not really a person to talk into depth about sexual life like that.
24:18I like a bit more privacy.
24:20I don't like to boast about things that I've done or boast about things that I'd like to
24:24do.
24:25So are you, like, into anything kinky, then?
24:27I used to be very bad.
24:29What do you mean, very bad?
24:30I used to be a ladies' entertainer.
24:33No!
24:34Oh, wait, like a magic mic.
24:35You're a magic mic.
24:36Can I see a move that you used to do?
24:39I won't show you what I'm doing.
24:40Oh, come on.
24:43What's the typical type of person you're doing, they go for?
24:45I've never been all for the big sort of hench guys, kind of, all the muscles and that.
24:50At her social...
24:51You two are right, because you've got definition.
24:54How much do you weigh?
24:55I'm 14.
24:56Helen is wasting no time getting to know the residents.
24:59That's muscle, then, innit?
25:00That's muscle.
25:01Yeah, because you've got, like, a 30-inch waist, don't you?
25:04Yeah, way too, way too.
25:05Yeah, yeah.
25:06And how tall are you?
25:08I'm 6'1".
25:09And obviously you work out.
25:11You don't do that lifting your breakfast spoon in the morning, do you?
25:14I love it.
25:14Do you know what I mean?
25:15These guys are great.
25:16Everyone's chatting, everything's flowing.
25:18It made me feel like I can be myself, so I'd like to know where it kind of goes from here.
25:22You've got a lot of banter right now, but that's how it goes on, I think, what enough.
25:26I don't, I'm shy as they come.
25:28I feel like Helen's rolled out, and me and her were clicking, we're having a bit of banter.
25:33I'd definitely like to take her out, just to show her that this, it can happen, like, you can, there's more things out there.
25:38Hello, hello.
25:39How are you?
25:40How are you?
25:41You look phenomenal.
25:42I thought, you know, I've got some eyelashes on, so it's all good.
25:44You're fresh.
25:45Yeah.
25:45Yeah, you know.
25:46Where are you from here, sir?
25:47Dorset, Somerset, like, so southwest-y, yeah.
25:51What do you do for a job?
25:52I just set up a barista coffee business called the Screamin' Bean.
25:56What was on your mind when you thought of Screamin' Bean?
25:58My sister said, you cannot call it that, because it is just disgusting.
26:03Yeah, thank you, like a clitoris, it's a bean.
26:05It's clicky, though, isn't it?
26:06I just don't know how you didn't see that, Screamin' Bean.
26:09Architect Josh has taken a shine to Helen.
26:12You sound like an experienced lady.
26:14Hello.
26:14What do you want?
26:15Oh!
26:16Um, commitment and time.
26:18Commitment and time.
26:21Helen's a lovely lady.
26:22I love talking to her.
26:24She just seems like an absolute, genuine person that, um, just, you'd want to be around.
26:28I think with tattoos, like, people go, oh, watch your tattoo, Helen, and it just looks like a little F.
26:32Where are your tattoos?
26:33Where are your tattoos?
26:34Well, you can't really see it.
26:36It's in there.
26:36I'll see it later, another time in this room.
26:40See it later?
26:40Later.
26:41Yes.
26:42And Helen has also made a connection with Josh.
26:46I liked the way that Josh asked me what it was that I wanted, because that, I feel, is important.
26:52And the fact that he'd done that showed that he values the other person's sort of needs.
26:58So, uh, that one was a bit of a winner for me.
27:02On the other side of the retreat, Steve is loosening up.
27:11Can you stand up?
27:13I stand up.
27:14Yeah.
27:15You're lucky.
27:17Ready?
27:17Yeah, I'm ready, yeah.
27:18You're good.
27:19Ready?
27:19Okay.
27:20Okay.
27:21He's decided to give the female residents a taste of his ladies' entertainment.
27:25I won't fight, okay?
27:26I won't fight, okay?
27:27Okay, okay.
27:28All right, now lay down.
27:30Lay down.
27:30Lay down.
27:32Woo!
27:32Woo!
27:34Woo!
27:34Woo!
27:36The striptease dance vibe, I'm not gonna lie, I thought there was a dick in my mouth at one point.
27:41Yeah, that's some way to meet someone anyway.
27:43Just balls straight in the mouth.
27:44Um, he's a really fun character.
27:46You can take your mask off now, are you ready?
27:49Yes.
27:50Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
27:52You're not shy of me, kid.
27:53Yeah, no, you're not.
27:54You're not shy of me, kid.
27:55Yeah, no, you're not shy of me.
27:59Woo!
28:01Woo!
28:03Woo!
28:05Woo!
28:07Woo!
28:08Woo!
28:09Woo!
28:10Woo!
28:11Woo!
28:12Woo!
28:13Woo!
28:14Woo!
28:15Woo!
28:16Woo!
28:17Woo!
28:18Woo!
28:19I think my striptease went down really well with the girls.
28:22They were very excited.
28:23There was a very large amount of screaming.
28:25It's nice to make someone smile.
28:27Woo!
28:28Woo!
28:29Woo!
28:30Woo!
28:31Woo!
28:32Woo!
28:33Woo!
28:34Woo!
28:35Woo!
28:36Woo!
28:37Woo!
28:38And as the social winds down, Helen is getting closer to resident Josh.
28:43There's something that you said today, which made me think, yeah, that's a really decent
28:48thing.
28:49I want to know.
28:50I'm interested in you.
28:51You're a lovely, a lovely person to talk to.
28:52Yeah, full of energy.
28:53And a hell of a lot of fun, that's for sure.
28:55And she's invited him to go on a romantic date.
29:00For me, it's an emotional connection with someone that I can get on with, someone that
29:05actually wants to listen.
29:06And that's the reasons why I've picked him.
29:08Shall we go?
29:09Yeah.
29:10Afternoon.
29:11Bye.
29:12Bye-bye.
29:13Helen picked me.
29:14It was a nice surprise.
29:15She had the pick of the guys, and she brought a lot of laughter out of me.
29:19And I think she's just a great person, and I would love just to get to know her a little
29:24bit more.
29:25Post-strip, partner Steve also wants to spend some one-on-one time with one of the residents.
29:32Jess?
29:33Yeah?
29:34She told you to come and have a little bit of bed, hasn't her?
29:36Yeah?
29:37Oh, yeah, we'll have fun.
29:38Yeah, we're going to have some fun.
29:39Aww.
29:40I'm really looking forward to going and spend some quality time with Jess.
29:43She's one sort of person.
29:45Very, very weird to be in this situation, to go off with a different woman whilst my wife
29:50knows.
29:51I will enjoy it.
29:52Oh, my God, I saw some of you.
29:53Come, let's go.
29:54Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess.
29:57We're going to have some fun, definitely.
29:58And yeah, we'll just see where the night goes, yeah.
30:02Oh.
30:03Oh.
30:04Oh.
30:05Oh, yeah, she's a good one.
30:07OK.
30:12Yes.
30:13I can't see if you can see, but it's just not going to be very cold.
30:15And I'm just going to be happy to get it here.
30:17And I'm just going to be happy to get it here.
30:19I'm just going to be happy to be okay with her.
30:20Ok, good to see aren't you guys.
30:23I got it here.
30:24I got it.
30:25This is going to be funny and it's not going to be funny.
30:29Next time she's muffleds for her, and I'm just going to be a little bit
30:30possibly.
30:31I am pretty much more.
30:32Josh from West London.
30:33Would you like a glass of wine for us?
30:35Yes, please.
30:35Yeah?
30:37I'm excited to spend time with Josh.
30:39He just seemed really kind of relaxed, chilled and genuine.
30:42And I kind of like that.
30:44Me and you are going to have a fantastic time.
30:45Yeah.
30:46Look, cheers to this.
30:47Thank you for picking me.
30:49After you, Jess.
30:51It's cute in here, to be fair.
30:53While Steve is having a one-to-one with Jess from Belfast.
30:57Locking the door.
30:59Securing it.
30:59Jess is a very nice, bubbly girl.
31:04Oh, fuck it.
31:06I think she's on the same wavelength as I am to see how things occur and how things progress.
31:11Steve struggled with flirting earlier, but being alone with Jess seems to bring out his playful side.
31:18So you live in Glasgow then, yeah?
31:20No, Ireland.
31:22Ireland.
31:22Belfast, yeah.
31:23Ireland's not a different country, is it?
31:25It is.
31:25Is it?
31:26Yeah.
31:26No, it's like a little thing just above England, isn't it?
31:28No.
31:29I like the accent, man.
31:30I like it.
31:31The Scottish accent or the Irish accent?
31:33Irish accent.
31:33Irish?
31:34Yeah, yeah.
31:34Do you think I have an Irish accent?
31:35Yeah.
31:35Would you like another drink?
31:37Yeah, I'll take a tap up.
31:38What?
31:39A tap up?
31:39I'll take a tap up.
31:40A tap up.
31:41The date's going really well.
31:43Jess is quite a bubbly person and quite a good laugh to be around.
31:46She's definitely got a bit of banner and maybe we could see what progresses.
31:50Helen says she hasn't been on a single date with Steve in their whole four-year relationship.
31:57When I started working on building sites, I was scared to go up and do gym ladies.
32:01You said you worked on building sites.
32:02What did you do?
32:03So small talk over dinner is providing welcome attention.
32:09I used to just like sort out concrete blocks.
32:12They're like 80 to 100 kg.
32:14Fucking hell.
32:15Are you joking?
32:16No.
32:16I got told that I'd chat people to death, but you know, it's not really a bad thing.
32:21I love it.
32:22You've got a lot to say.
32:24Josh was actually really gentle and quite intensive.
32:27I kind of liked that, that he actually wanted to listen to me.
32:30It was just nice.
32:34I used to be a David Beckham person.
32:37Yeah?
32:37Yeah, I used to joke up with David Beckham.
32:38I can see that to be fair.
32:40I can see that.
32:40You're definitely not Victoria.
32:42I'm not Victoria.
32:43You're definitely not.
32:44What do you mean?
32:45You're not that way.
32:46It's not an insult.
32:47No, I take that as a fucking massive compliment.
32:50A compliment.
32:50Listen, you've got a bit of physique.
32:53Yeah.
32:53Yeah, that Victoria's got bones and kind of like, like, arse.
32:56Do you like curves then?
32:58Yeah, I like, I like something, a bit of, a bit of, a bit of something.
33:01Are you more of like a boobs guy or like a bum guy?
33:03An arse.
33:04An arse guy?
33:04Sorry.
33:05A bum guy?
33:05A bottom, a bottom.
33:06A bottom guy.
33:07A bottom person.
33:09From what I've understood of you so far, I feel like you need support.
33:13I feel like you need people around you that will boost you.
33:15I feel like I've never had that.
33:19There wouldn't be nothing nicer than the fact that someone actually believing in me and guiding
33:24me.
33:24Do you get me?
33:25I love everything you subscribe to.
33:29I think you can tell that I'm having a fantastic time.
33:33Are you?
33:34Yeah.
33:34I feel like I can't comment on the situation.
33:36You can't comment on the situation?
33:37No.
33:38No?
33:39I'm enjoying myself.
33:40Of course I am.
33:40Good.
33:41I've been on a date for a long time.
33:44Tonight has been like a real eye-opener.
33:47For me, it was about getting to know someone because that's something I feel is missing from
33:52my relationship at the minute.
33:53So, yeah, I've really enjoyed my time.
34:01Back in his yurt.
34:03Do you get whipped all the time?
34:05Do you like all that whipped shit?
34:06It depends who you're whipped.
34:08And despite turning the conversation kinky...
34:11I could do more with my tongue than what my spirit would do with the whole of their
34:14body.
34:14Yeah?
34:15Definitely, yeah.
34:16You think?
34:16Yeah, a million percent, a million percent.
34:18I'm coming to Ireland with you.
34:19You're coming back with me?
34:21Yeah, I'm going to meet you there.
34:21Yeah, come on then.
34:23I'll come there.
34:24That's right.
34:26Steve's decided to call it a night.
34:29Did you have fun with me?
34:30Yeah, yeah.
34:30Yeah, you did.
34:31Good.
34:32I really had a great time.
34:33Jessie's a very nice girl.
34:34If I was 21, I think, and I come on to an experience like this, I think I'd be well
34:40gained for doing it all.
34:41But we've been together for 40 years, and that's something I don't want to lose.
34:59After a night experiencing their first ever taste of non-monogamy,
35:03Dr. Laurie wants to help the couple reflect on their dates.
35:08Okay, so let's start with the early part of the evening.
35:13How was that?
35:15Fun.
35:16It was all right?
35:17I picked my date.
35:19Yeah, we shared a couple of drinks together.
35:21Mm-hmm.
35:22Yeah, we clicked.
35:22We got on really well.
35:24And yeah, he's a nice guy.
35:25I went on a date with a girl called Jess.
35:27Mm-hmm.
35:27I did a little show for the ladies while we was in there on the actual thing yesterday.
35:32So I took her with me just to get her to know her a bit more.
35:35You enjoyed the time.
35:36Oh, it was a lovely time with her.
35:37Very lovely girl.
35:38Very, very nice person.
35:40Now that you've both had romantic dates with other people, how do you feel about open relationships?
35:44The whole idea of this experience, really, was to sort of better our relationship.
35:51I do always feel that he lives life in the fast lane and sometimes that, you know, not all my needs are met.
35:58I do agree with what she's saying and I do work a substantial amount of time.
36:03But it has made me realize now that I do need to spend a lot more time with Helen and be more there for her because I'm not usually there.
36:09Oh, that's good.
36:09Which to me is a good thing about coming on to here.
36:12And it's made me realize I don't think I could be in an open relationship.
36:14No, you could just say no.
36:15Hand on my heart, I really don't.
36:17It's not unusual, you know.
36:19Often couples think they're ready and then they have to go away and work on themselves and their relationships.
36:24It's taught us to sort of work on our relationship, definitely.
36:29It's been definitely an eye-opener.
36:31Well, 100% an eye-opener.
36:33Yeah.
36:35Thank you for throwing yourselves into it and I wish you all the best.
36:38Thank you very much.
36:39Have fun.
36:40We will.
36:41Nice to meet you.
36:41You too.
36:42See you later.
36:42Take care.
36:43Bye, love.
36:48This was a really interesting couple.
36:51Helen was really not getting enough attention from him.
36:54She's not getting the romance from him that she wants.
36:56And she was hoping that non-monogamy was a solution to that.
36:59I am happy that they feel that they learned something in this process and they felt that they had something positive to take away.
37:05After you.
37:07Definitely I'm going to feel happy we're leaving.
37:09Yeah.
37:09But in a good way.
37:11I spent some more quality time definitely is a big thing.
37:13I definitely, definitely haven't spent enough time with her.
37:15And he's learned.
37:16Yeah.
37:16This has opened my eyes to see that.
37:18I didn't expect Steve just to openly say that he really wishes that he could spend more time with me.
37:26We've bettered our relationship maybe.
37:28Yeah, I think we have bettered our relationship.
37:30It did make me well up a little bit actually.
37:32You know, because it made me feel that I've got a lot of what I wanted to from this experience.
37:38Tonight, Ellie and KS are going on a social together.
37:55Hey, you look gorgeous.
37:56It's so good to see you.
37:58Yeah, I thought I thought I was going to say that.
37:59That was amazing.
38:01And based on their preference, only women are invited to the party.
38:06I really like your tattoos.
38:07Oh, thank you.
38:08You have a tattoo yourself?
38:10Yeah, I've got a few random ones to be honest.
38:13If anything was going to happen in our relationship, it would be together.
38:17So it's good to experience this with Ellie.
38:20This is the ideal scenario for me, so I'm happy.
38:23I love tattoos.
38:24What's your favourite tattoo that you have?
38:25I'd say my favourite one is this one here.
38:29Because my granddad's from Barbados and he passed away.
38:32I think he's enjoying himself, yeah.
38:33Talking to the girls, he wouldn't.
38:35They're looking for someone to invite on a date and potentially have a threesome with.
38:41I just want to get in the pool.
38:42Have you been in the pool at all?
38:43I know.
38:45It's a pool party.
38:46Why are we not all in the pool talking?
38:48Exactly.
38:48I love float.
38:50I like go on my back when I do that as well.
38:52Backstroke.
38:53And all anyone to see the boobs is very like...
38:56Just two pairs of tits just like gliding.
39:01And it looks like chaos has made a connection with Precious.
39:05We should get in the hot tub is what we need to do.
39:07Have you been in the hot tub?
39:08I know.
39:08Save in these two spaces.
39:10I mean, Precious is an attractive woman.
39:14I would say physical attraction was, yeah, it was definitely there.
39:19So, ladies, our lovely couple have made a decision on who they'd like to spend the night with.
39:24Precious.
39:24What attracted me to Precious is that she was just...
39:33We had stuff in common and she was just easy to talk to.
39:36And she's been in an open relationship before.
39:38So, I think Ellie will definitely feel a little bit of jealousy as that's just her.
39:43Later.
39:44Let's go.
39:45I think if everything goes well, we have a good, you know, couple of drinks, have dinner.
39:50The chemistry is there.
39:51Who knows what could happen?
39:52No, we've never done a joint date.
39:54So, you know, that's going to be in itself something new.
39:58Obviously, she's lovely.
39:59So, that's maybe where, like, jealousy might come in.
40:13Ellie and Chaos came to the retreat to see if they could open their relationship to another woman.
40:19And tonight, they are on a date with Precious.
40:23Oh, you've got a neck tattoo.
40:25Oh, I didn't...
40:26What...
40:27Do your tattoos have any meaning?
40:28Um, it just means I'm a gift, to be fair.
40:31Really?
40:31Fair enough.
40:33I mean, precious, gift, you know, it's just...
40:35It's just that.
40:37Yeah.
40:37I'm excited, a little bit nervous, because I have no idea what to expect, and obviously, it's going to be a bit intimidating at first.
40:45I'd say the best case scenario is that Ellie's comfortable to bring Precious into our relationship.
40:52You're a boob man, aren't you?
40:55I...
40:56I think you like bums, but I think you like big boobs.
40:58You also like it.
40:59I mean, I like both.
40:59You like both, but in my shoes, I would go bum over boobs.
41:03Oh, yeah.
41:03I think the emotions were just running high with me, because I got the feeling that she wanted us to dive in and try more, but the wobble came from just me not wanting to do anything.
41:16Precious, who's been in multiple open relationships, is worried Ellie might not be entirely comfortable with the situation.
41:25So, when a girl kisses, you know, do you go...
41:30Oh, yeah, well, that's never happened.
41:31That hasn't happened, no.
41:32So, if I kissed him, you would get upset?
41:35I don't know.
41:36Oh, you see?
41:37If you asked me...
41:38Yeah, you'd be like, I don't care.
41:39I would be like, Dad, again.
41:40Exactly.
41:41So, like, I don't know.
41:42So, you have to piece your...
41:42Exactly.
41:43So, then that makes me think, like, am I...
41:44Then, you know...
41:45Then you aren't.
41:46I think I overthink it.
41:48Why are you so reserved about it?
41:49I was scared about it.
41:50I don't know.
41:50Because I feel like...
41:51I feel like I'd get jealous.
41:52Do you think you'd get jealous?
41:53Yeah.
41:54You're stunning, and you seem like you've got your confidence.
41:57Yeah.
41:57Right?
41:57The person who ever kisses your boyfriend is not going to take him away.
42:01He's yours.
42:03She's still insecure about sharing her boyfriend, her partner, with somebody else.
42:09And she's concerned that he will then get more attached to the other person.
42:16Okay.
42:17Well, I'm going to pop.
42:18I'm going to go, I think.
42:19It's hard to imagine, you know, your partner getting with someone on a sexual level.
42:23I don't know what it is.
42:25I feel insecure.
42:26Like...
42:27I know Ellie was upset, but obviously this is a hard thing to do, because we are emotionally
42:33invested in each other.
42:33We love each other.
42:34Last night, Ellie and KS' date ended prematurely.
42:46Hey.
42:46Hey, you all right?
42:47Yeah.
42:48You're comfortable.
42:49Now, Dr. Laurie wants to help the couple work through what happened.
42:54How was last night?
42:56Um, I wasn't, like, comfortable with doing, like, things with other people, I guess.
43:03Right.
43:04My insecurities and jealousies, yeah, it was a difficult thing to go through.
43:09If you had to put a name to those insecurities, what are they?
43:13Like, how would you describe them?
43:16Um, like, not feeling good enough.
43:21In general, or with him?
43:23No, like, myself.
43:25In yourself.
43:25So when you look at the world, that's how you feel.
43:29Yeah.
43:30So have you compared yourself to other people?
43:33Yeah, definitely, yeah.
43:34And yet, you're a gorgeous woman, right?
43:40And he clearly adores you.
43:43Correct.
43:43Yeah, well, I'm, yeah, and I'm seeing that as well, so.
43:47What's come out of this is that considering opening up and considering non-monogamy has
43:52brought up your feelings of not being good enough.
43:55Yeah, you know, it's not, it's not a jealousy.
43:59I don't know, um, it's hard to explain, but.
44:02You're not describing jealousy.
44:04What you're saying is that you end up feeling uncomfortable because you don't feel good enough.
44:08And the fear then is, I'll be replaced.
44:11And so coming here has highlighted that.
44:14Yeah.
44:15So you can actually go away and work on that particular bit.
44:18You know, non-monogamy is, like, difficult.
44:21Yeah.
44:21You're not yet ready to open up.
44:23You're just not there.
44:23Yeah.
44:24You've got work to do on your own.
44:26And as a couple, to be in a place where you will be able to open up and feel strong enough in the relationship.
44:33It's been wonderful to have you here as our guests.
44:36I've really enjoyed meeting you.
44:38It's been so good meeting you as well.
44:40I think you'll do fine.
44:41Thank you very much.
44:42Cheers.
44:43We're all very good at hiding our vulnerabilities.
44:47And it's only when things are out of our control or out of our comfort zone that these vulnerabilities surface.
44:55It's really hard to know if non-monogamy will work for you or not until you try it.
45:02We thought we would test, like, dip our toes in the waters and see what we think of it.
45:07But speaking about it and then doing it is a completely different thing.
45:11We're so happy that we did it, really.
45:13I think that it's something great that, like, everyone, if they could, have a go.
45:19You all right with that?
45:20Yep.
45:20All good.
45:22You got that?
45:23Yes.
45:24There you go.
45:26This process has definitely brought us closer as a couple.
