00:01OK, now I'm getting bugs.
00:05En route to the unique retreat are Lauren and Tom from Exeter.
00:11It kind of feels like, you know when you go on a really, really scary roller coaster right before you're about to drop?
00:17Their relationship goes back to when they were teenagers.
00:20We've known each other for 16 years.
00:22Lauren's brother is one of my best mates and now I can't talk about women issues with him.
00:28Just three months ago, Tom's dreams came true when he proposed.
00:33Look at that rock on your finger.
00:35She just makes me basically. She keeps me on my feet, definitely.
00:39The couple's passion for one another extends to their sex lives.
00:44I'm a huge adrenaline junkie and when it comes to sex life, the same.
00:49Tom fully understands what I'm like and to be honest, joins me.
00:54Yeah, if I could I'd have sex all the time. I love it.
00:57The frisky couple have already attempted to open up their relationship, but with disastrous consequences.
01:06I really, really wanted to be able to explore whether that's a couple swap or just get a woman.
01:12We kind of explored it a little bit, but Tom really struggled.
01:17Yeah.
01:18I feel like I'm chomping at the bit to be open because I don't want to be with just the one person for the rest of my life.
01:26Here they go.
01:36With its non-monogamy coach and experienced residents, Lauren and Tom are hoping the retreat is the answer to their problems.
01:45How are you guys doing, alright?
01:47We're a good looking couple.
01:49Yeah.
01:50Do you look lovely?
01:51Very lovely.
01:52Hi guys, you alright?
01:53Hey!
01:54Come on, I love your shirt. We're almost matching.
01:59Yeah, these guys look fit. Blonde girl, a bit of you.
02:02I'm excited but nervous.
02:07Oh, I'm nervous now, yeah. Definitely nervous now.
02:12I'm so excited to be here. I really am. I am like, come on.
02:17Yes, it's throwing Tom in at the deep end, but sometimes I think that's what people need, it's just a real big push.
02:24Guiding couples on their journey.
02:27Hello, come in.
02:29Is the retreat's non-monogamy coach, Effie Blue.
02:33Take a seat. I would love to know what brings you to this retreat.
02:37So, me and Tom had been together for about a year.
02:40I was terrified but brought up the conversation with him about going open.
02:45I've tried in my life to be with a woman, to be with a man, and always felt if I was with one or the other that I wasn't complete.
02:51We have tried opening up the relationship and had issues, which is obviously why we're here today.
03:02Do you want to tell me a little bit about that?
03:05I panic when it comes to actual performing.
03:09I've basically got hard midway having sex and then it has just gone soft.
03:16When your penis doesn't work, it doesn't work.
03:18If it's with another female, she thinks she's done something wrong and it's not that at all.
03:27And then that's, for me, game over.
03:29I'm stuck in a rut on the fact that I can't get him up.
03:34I can't perform.
03:35And it's like, shit, again, I'm feeling a bit, I'm feeling like crap.
03:42I'm curious, does this impact sex with Lauren?
03:46There's been a couple of times, there's been in the past even with Lauren herself, but not multiple times.
03:50I'm more relaxed, I'm more chilled and I can perform.
03:54When you've attempted to open up with other women, what is the story in your head?
03:58I can't take the top off. I absolutely hate looking at myself in the head.
04:05I think what's really bad is I don't love myself.
04:07When I first met Tom, he was a really cheeky chappy. Then Tom got his heart diagnosis and, yeah, it had a huge impact, mainly on Tom. It was terrifying.
04:20The doctors basically told me that I had sudden death syndrome, so that means I can drop down and die at any point.
04:28It was so, so scary.
04:30He got really down. He obviously put on a lot of weight because he wasn't allowed to work out.
04:35Because of being such an energetic person, going to the gym all the time, looking after myself and doing all of that, it's basically, well, it just went down the drain.
04:46You have a terrible relationship with your body.
04:49Yeah, definitely. Definitely.
04:51It's like you're not going to get a hard on, because you might be mentally aroused, but you're not physically aroused.
05:03Hey, you're okay?
05:04Yeah, I'm good.
05:08I wasn't expecting that.
05:10Do you want to tell me what's going through your mind right now?
05:13The fact that I'm just, I've stopped in my path and just let myself go.
05:22So, it feels like there's a lot riding on this, right? Because I feel like your anxiety is getting in the way of you potentially opening up, which is kind of what Lauren wants.
05:35And I imagine you feel the pressure of that.
05:37It's what I want as well.
05:43Lauren, what do you want to achieve? What would be your ideal situation?
05:46I would love to be able to, obviously, couple swap. And also, I've never had more than two men at once, and it's always been a fantasy of mine.
05:56Mm-hmm.
05:57And the same for women as well.
05:59Yeah.
06:00But obviously, we need to get to the bottom of whatever this is.
06:04Sure, yeah, no, exactly. Hopefully, here is the place we can help you get over those things.
06:09Starting with a good old party.
06:11Tonight is about taking the lead. Once you kind of let your hair down and relaxed, right, I would love, Tom, for you to pick some people and invite them to somewhere cozy for a sensual group experience.
06:26This is about sensuality. That's about cuddles and touches.
06:32I want you to focus on one person, and I want you to focus on how the person that you're touching, how you're giving them pleasure through touch and through caressing.
06:42Because I want you to ease into that sexual space without it feeling like it's all about your dick getting hard.
06:51And then, be open to things escalating.
06:57That's the part that I get a bit, wow.
06:59When we say escalating, we don't always mean straight to sex.
07:03Yeah.
07:04Right.
07:05Right, okay.
07:06It sounds really exciting.
07:07Beautiful.
07:08Yeah.
07:12Yeah.
07:15Tom has a bit of work to do because his issues are mostly in his head.
07:21So, the exercise today is to get him into the present, feeling what pleasure looks like and to be more embodied.
07:29If you could just think about that he doesn't need a hard penis, it's amazing how quickly one will appear.
07:36Oh.
07:37Wow.
07:38Wow.
07:39I do worry for me and Lauren, because if I can't do the whole open relationship, I feel like we go our separate ways.
07:51I'm hoping it won't get to that stage.
07:54OK.
07:59ä¸ifer.
08:01Previously on Open House.
08:03�nd
08:04Ultimately, why we're here is to bring in another couple.
08:06But, I've got to be okay with Alec being with another woman.
08:12That's so scary.
08:13What's at stake is Alana's, like, feelings and emotions.
08:17I've been cheated on quite a lot.
08:19Yeah, I've seen women as more of a threat.
08:22So we kind of want you to face that threat.
08:27Would you be open to finding a woman for a little sexy threesome?
08:31That scenario wasn't in my head.
08:33Don't want to do it, like, I want to live.
08:37If this is going to work, it has to be the right person.
08:43Who Alex is sitting with now is Georgie.
08:45She's gorgeous.
08:47Would you like to come and spend some time in what's up with us?
08:50Yeah.
08:51If it does go wrong, is it something I'd be able to get over?
09:04I did not think this is where we were going to be on, like, our first night.
09:07I knew you were.
09:08This would have literally been my worst nightmare.
09:10Really?
09:11If someone was like, how would you feel about doing this?
09:12I'd be like, no.
09:14We didn't think that we would be in a hot tub if we were.
09:19How would you feel if I gave Alex a little kiss?
09:28How do you feel?
09:31I'm okay.
09:31Yeah?
09:31In that moment, watching Alex and Georgie kiss, I thought, oh, no.
09:44How did that make you feel?
10:07How did that make you feel?
10:08Like, fine.
10:09Like, I was, like, yeah, like, almost a bit turned on by it.
10:15I really want you on me.
10:17Can I, like, can I, like, put you on me?
10:20I can't believe this.
10:21Are you proud of me?
10:22Yeah.
10:22I've never seen Alana kiss another woman.
10:37I knew it was part of her life, like, long, long ago.
10:40But to see that, like, reopen that door was such a huge turn on for me to see that.
10:44It was, like, pretty hot.
10:47Oh, my God.
10:49I'm obsessed.
10:50Stop it.
10:53Can we just take you home with us?
10:56Well, it all flowed very naturally.
11:00We've got three weeks now.
11:08Who the fuck would have thought we'd have been here?
11:10I honestly don't know what's happening right now.
11:13I feel like this is normal.
11:19I think, like, things are feeling good.
11:22Mm-hmm.
11:23Do you maybe want to come back to our room?
11:25I would love that.
11:26Yeah.
11:27Let's just explore things a little bit more.
11:29Yeah.
11:30Let's take the next step.
11:30We'll do baby steps.
11:31Let's do it.
11:34I didn't think that was going to be a thing at all to bring in, like, a single female.
11:39I thought that would be way too intimidating.
11:41I was really glad I was below water because I was really turned up.
11:45Yeah.
11:48Yeah, like, this has been insane.
11:51Honestly, I can't believe it.
11:52Like, it's such a change.
11:53And you weren't going to do anything.
11:54And now we're inviting...
11:57I still have to come back to our room.
11:59Oh, my God, that's short shot.
12:15Oh, no, I did say my ass, like, eats them.
12:18New arrivals Lauren and Tom are preparing for a big night.
12:22Oh, that's been a long time.
12:28They'll be attending a sexy barn dance, where they hope to meet residents who could help Tom overcome his physical stumbling block when it comes to opening up.
12:37Whenever we've dipped our toes into being open, Tom felt he just couldn't perform, felt really uncomfortable.
12:49They've been tasked with finding residents interested in joining them for a group experience, where the focus is only on foreplay.
12:57Hey, babe.
12:59What?
12:59I look fucking ridiculous.
13:01With no pressure to perform, the hope is Tom will relax and rise to the occasion.
13:07I do foresee hurdles. The residents are all very beautiful. The problem with that is obviously Tom being body conscious.
13:20If I went there on my own, I think I'd probably walk straight back out.
13:27How are you guys feeling?
13:29Yeah, great.
13:32Shit's good.
13:48This is out of my comfort zone. The heart palpitations I've got right now are through the room.
13:53So what we're going to do is we're going to go around and we're going to talk to them.
14:01I feel sick inside. I don't think I can.
14:03OK, so listen, there's no pressure. That's what we're saying.
14:06Like, let's just give it a really good go. This is what we're here for.
14:10First to meet them are married couple Jem and Daz.
14:13What are you looking for, then?
14:16That's the question. So for me, I need that conversation.
14:20Yeah.
14:20And for you, it's obviously just about feeling body confident around.
14:23Yeah, I'm a bit, yeah.
14:24Yeah.
14:25Just lacking in confidence a little bit.
14:27That's understandable.
14:28You know, it's really nerve-cracking.
14:31If there's any environment where personality matters more than looks, it's this environment.
14:36We'd love to chat to them and try and help them with their journey.
14:39Hello, are you all right? I'm Tom.
14:41How are you doing me? All right.
14:42How are you doing?
14:42Yeah, I'm Gaze. This is my wife, Olivia.
14:44What's your dynamic?
14:46So we, when we find him...
14:47It's a big word, that is.
14:48Dynamic.
14:49It's a very big word, isn't it?
14:50It's my favourite word, is that.
14:50Dynamic.
14:51I love it.
14:52Why did I say we've babbled in it before?
14:54We're really good at reading people's body language and kind of like how they're feeling.
14:58You know when someone's nervous and you know when someone's a little bit scared.
15:02But when you have that, you know, responsibility to kind of give them that first good
15:05impression of the lifestyle. You want to make it the best.
15:09I used to be like really like outgoing, going gym seven days. I used to have like the abs
15:13and I basically comfort eat and drink and of course I put on the weight now, so...
15:18You can just like kiss and you can like, you can go down on them and you can touch.
15:23And you don't necessarily just have the build up, but I think it is the part of mentality.
15:27You think you've got to go through that natural process.
15:29Olivia and Gage, they made me feel so like, it just felt, it just felt natural just talking to her.
15:35After a confidence boost from Gage, Tom moves on to single resident Aaron,
15:42who's no stranger to open conversation.
15:44Do you have an idea of kind of what you want from the experience?
15:49Basically, have fun, relax and try and let my hair down.
15:52To a couple that's coming into the retreat that are looking to open up,
15:56I think the best thing they can do is talk to, talk to us.
16:01You know, you've come here for the sex, but don't forget that the sex comes from a person.
16:05I'm a single guy. I've literally just come out of a relationship with two women.
16:10Oh wow. At the same time for two years.
16:12That's crazy.
16:13Split 50-50.
16:14Yeah.
16:15There'll be days and weeks and months where I don't feel like I have the confidence.
16:19Yeah.
16:19And I'll go and play and I won't even get half.
16:22But that's okay because if you're around people you're comfortable around.
16:26That's, that's what I'm, that's what, this is what we're trying to get through to talk.
16:30Speaking to Aaron, he made it easy for me to basically say,
16:35I don't need my penis basically, I've got my hands and I've got my tongue.
16:39And I think Lauren really likes them as well.
16:42Aaron has given me fanny photos.
16:47So I've never had more than two men at once.
16:49So my ideal situation would obviously be more men.
16:52I love you.
16:56Fresh from meeting Aaron, Lauren feels it's time for Tom to start deciding who to invite
17:02to their sensual soiree.
17:05Aaron, because he was on the same page as you and even he doesn't get hard.
17:08Yeah, yeah.
17:08Because I feel like he would understand you as well.
17:11Aaron made me feel really at ease.
17:15He, yeah, he was absolutely brilliant.
17:20I'm so scared of the rejection, mainly for Tom, rather than for me.
17:24Because is he then going to be really nervous going forward?
17:27That little bit inside that if they say no, it'll feel like shit, yeah.
17:31But you know, um, you just have to wait and see and see what happens.
17:36We just want to know if you want to come back to him basically just...
17:40Maybe some games, some teasing, some fuddling.
17:44If it escalates, it escalates.
17:45Yeah, sure.
17:45If it doesn't, it doesn't.
17:47And that doesn't matter.
17:51Okay, guys, I'm not going to say that I'm going to play.
17:57It's for me at the moment, I take a lot more to get to that point.
18:01I was surprised by Aaron, because he said he didn't want to play.
18:07Aaron, without being rude, obviously we have to move along with being honest.
18:11Not everyone is everyone's cup of tea.
18:14But for me, I don't obviously want to put Tom off even more with this process.
18:18It's like rejection.
18:20I'm just, yeah, I'm shocked.
18:29Right, move all the things off the bed.
18:31Put them all on the, here.
18:34In their bedroom, Alana and Alex are preparing to be joined by resident Georgie.
18:39Are we going to be weird and go, are you okay if we get protection just in case?
18:44We'll just have it on the side.
18:47They're hoping that tonight they can take their first steps
18:51towards their ultimate dream of a couple swap, by having a threesome.
18:55I don't know how this is going to go, seeing Alex being with another woman.
19:02With where we are now, look, I'm definitely open to just seeing heart goes.
19:11But as much as this is a really big step for me, it's also a really big step for him,
19:16because he's going to potentially be with another woman.
19:20This is all new and it's starting to feel very real.
19:24So, my worries going into this is me being with another woman
19:28and how that might make Alana feel.
19:30I hope that it's the most amazing experience that we could have,
19:32but equally, it could not be.
19:39Hello, come here, come here, come in, you all right?
19:42Oh, it's so nice.
19:45It would be, it would be devastating if anything went wrong here, for sure.
19:50So much better. Okay, cool.
19:53This is a bit more chill.
19:55Yeah, don't mind. I'm just going to pick up the momentum.
19:59No, I like that. Let's just pick up when we're left off.
20:05The sexual chemistry was insane.
20:07The fact that I could, like, just let go of everything and just really enjoy it, like...
20:20I never thought that would have happened in this experience.
20:28I never thought that would have happened in this experience.
20:41But as play between Alana and Georgie intensifies,
20:55Alex retreats to the sideline.
21:06I think, like, I was overwhelmed.
21:10It was, like, from zero to 100 and it caught me off guard, really.
21:17Although I was, like, turned on idea, I wasn't, like, turned on.
21:20Oh, my God, this is fun!
21:33Yeah, yeah, it's fun.
21:37I can't quite match that right now.
21:39Oh, my God, yeah.
21:45I've had, like, the best evening, like...
21:55Yay.
21:55Give me another kiss.
21:56Yeah.
21:57Bye.
22:03Speak to you soon. I'll see you soon as well.
22:05Yeah, we'll see you soon.
22:13I love you so much.
22:15I loved it.
22:16I genuinely loved every minute of that.
22:18There wasn't any part where I thought,
22:21I feel uncomfortable or, like, oh, I don't know how I feel about this.
22:24Like, I literally loved every single second of that.
22:28Did you enjoy it?
22:31I loved seeing you, like, enjoy it.
22:34Yeah.
22:36I loved it.
22:41Do I always seem to get the wet patch?
22:45Maybe I could have done more, but I think I was a little bit, like, overwhelmed by how quickly it all went.
22:58It's the morning after Alana and Alex's first threesome with a female resident, Georgie.
23:16It's the morning after Alana and Alex's first threesome with a female resident, Georgie.
23:27You're so quiet.
23:34Got up this morning feeling really good about what happened, but I could feel there was something
23:40a little bit off.
23:50What are you thinking about?
23:51I'm just thinking.
23:56Processing.
24:00Are you sure you're okay?
24:01Yeah.
24:02When we first came in here, obviously our aim and our kind of end goal was to be able to
24:11do a full couple swap.
24:12I knew Alex was in his head a little bit, even at home, like, he can go a bit quiet sometimes,
24:22but today I just knew there was something kind of underlying.
24:25How was last night?
24:38Like, I'm really happy.
24:40It just, it felt right.
24:43Beautiful breakthrough.
24:44Absolutely.
24:45I think what I liked is it was actually Georgie that said, like, would you be okay if I kissed Alex?
24:54She kind of, like, led it a little bit, which was nice.
24:57And I actually enjoyed watching it, which I never thought those words were going to come out of my mouth.
25:04What are you thinking, Alex?
25:06I don't, I don't know.
25:09I don't want to take away because I loved last night.
25:11It was incredible, but I was a little bit like,
25:16overwhelmed by the whole situation.
25:18Yeah, tell me about that.
25:20I don't know, like, I don't think I was, I wasn't, like, turned on physically, like,
25:25so that's what I'm confused at the moment about.
25:27Okay, okay, okay.
25:30The couple thing I definitely want to do, but again, I don't know if I go all the way.
25:33So, that's where, I think that's why I've been quiet this morning, because I wasn't sure.
25:38For me, there's like, like, something missing, and I don't know what it was.
25:41I feel like maybe I'm more of a connection-based, like, when it comes to sex.
25:44Mm-hmm.
25:45Like, deep, deeper connections.
25:47Sure.
25:49Intimacy?
25:50Is that what you're seeking?
25:51Like, intimacy to go with your sexual experience?
25:54I do find it better if there's a connection,
25:58and that's where I am right now, like, I'm trying to figure that out.
26:02The thing that I want to understand is, how do you feel about that?
26:10Um, I don't feel comfortable with that.
26:15Sure.
26:15Now, like, I do see that as threatening.
26:19Like, what if you build, like, this really great connection with someone else that you then feel is,
26:27like, better?
26:29That's never ever going to be the thing.
26:32You're okay?
26:33Yeah.
26:38It's okay.
26:41You're really challenging some of the things that you're the most afraid of,
26:43and stuff is coming up, like, that's all about that.
26:46So that's scary to you right now, so let's just look at it in the face.
26:51Tell me, what do you mean by connection?
26:54Let's just, like...
26:54I think it's definitely not, like, deep connection with what I have with you.
26:59It's a lot less than that.
27:01It's more familiarization.
27:03Like, you almost want to be friends with that person before it...
27:06Okay.
27:06I've never been, like, a one-night guy, if you know what I mean, so...
27:11To be fair, like, yeah, even we didn't sleep together, like, straight away.
27:15So I get that.
27:16I know that's not necessarily, like, how you work.
27:21So what would that look for you in terms of you guys dating couples?
27:24Like, do you want to have, like, one couple friend that you date and play with,
27:31or do you sort of meet a bunch of couples?
27:35Like, what does that look like for you?
27:36We did say, like, it would be nice to have, like, one couple that we're, like,
27:41best friends with, and we get on really well with them,
27:44and, like, play together as well.
27:46So what I have in mind is,
27:49I want you to have a taste of the couple experience that you want.
27:54But I feel like the next challenge for you is to navigate the connection piece.
27:58For you to actually go there and start making a connection,
28:01and for you to feel like, to figure out what it feels like when it's happening,
28:05and spend a bit of time connecting with the couple.
28:07And then, once you feel like you have a connection in place,
28:12then you can escalate things in your own time,
28:14and take it from there, and you see how it goes for you.
28:16How does that sound?
28:17No, that sounds, that sounds good.
28:19You happy?
28:19Okay.
28:20Good.
28:20I'm fine with that. Are you definitely fine?
28:22Yeah, I feel relaxed.
28:23Okay.
28:24Okay.
28:24I think that the biggest thing off my chest was what we've spoken about now.
28:28That was, like, just something I needed to understand.
28:34You're welcome. You're welcome. Enjoy.
28:35I'm excited to meet some couples today, but this moment, I don't know if I can go all the way.
28:51We'll have to see.
28:57We love each other, right?
28:58Yeah, we do.
29:05At the sexy barn dance, Lauren and Tom are coming to terms with being rejected by resident Aaron.
29:21Let your hair down.
29:22Let my hair down.
29:22I'm going to make you line dancing.
29:24I'm not line dancing. That is not happening.
29:31Oh, oh.
29:35Oh, my God.
29:42I used to do quite a lot of dancing with Lauren.
29:44It's what I used to really enjoy, so I feel a lot more comfortable, yeah.
29:55When I was around Tom, we had a little mini dance battle, and, like, the fact that he was just
30:00busting out the robot and, like, just having so much fun with it, and I was like, let's do this,
30:03let's do that, and he was just like, yeah, let's do it. It's the last.
30:12I'm buzzing. I'm literally buzzing from how happy he is.
30:19He's so relaxed now.
30:23Rejection behind them, thoughts return to their objective, finding residence for a sensual after
30:30party. I feel a lot more comfortable, yeah. So, I think it's a lot more easier to invite people
30:35and to see if they say yes or no.
30:37Can you lead the way?
30:38Hello, welcome to my friend. Hello, I'm your shirt for tonight. Have you guys been enjoying yourself?
30:57But it was basically, we're just wondering if, um, if you'd like to be,
31:01to, like, come back with us and just basically cuddle, kiss, touch.
31:08Well, I'm ready whenever you guys are. I'll be at the bar.
31:11Well, I wasn't expecting that. I wasn't expecting the fact that I was actually waiting for a no.
31:17As Tom's confidence grows.
31:18And I was just wondering if you guys want to come back.
31:21Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
31:24Oh, wow. Yeah, we're at this.
31:25Wow. So does the after party.
31:28Wondering if you want to come. Yes.
31:31I love that. That's quick. That's so easy. Thank you.
31:35And the guest list swells to five.
31:38We were pleasantly surprised.
31:40And it actually feels kind of, like, nice, like feeling, I know it sounds weird, but wanted.
31:45I would say I'm definitely attracted to him, for sure.
31:50They're a vibe, 100%. I'm just really excited just to get to know them a bit more.
31:56Lauren and Tom's next challenge will be their biggest yet,
32:00as the five residents will be joining them to attempt to help Tom overcome his performance anxiety
32:06and successfully open up.
32:08We're basically, we'll go back to the bedroom and basically see what happens.
32:16Not promising anything. I've still got them hurdles. I've still got them body confidence and all that.
32:21The worst thing that can happen is going into shock and walking out.
32:38Having been in two minds as to whether he's ready to open up,
32:42Alex has agreed to try to make connections with couples.
32:48Oh, this looks so cute.
32:51We're just looking for, like, good vibes. Obviously, going into the couple scenario is slightly different
32:57because it's both of us have got to have an attraction to two different people then.
33:01We'll see, you know, if it's the right people then it'll, it'll be there.
33:12Hello. Hello.
33:13How's it over? I'm Joe.
33:14Joe, lovely to meet you.
33:15You're lovely to meet me. How are you doing?
33:16How's it going?
33:17How's it just on the walk-in?
33:17Literally on the walk-in.
33:19Both Alex and Alana really want to get to know them, don't we?
33:23Yeah, they're definitely good-looking.
33:24They're super hot.
33:25Who was the one who instigated sort of coming here and stuff then?
33:28I think coming here might have been more me.
33:31Did you guys come in initially looking to bring in a single lady?
33:36What were you initially looking for?
33:38Connections with couples.
33:39Yeah.
33:40Is where we were looking at.
33:41The hardest part was obviously for me to kind of get over, like, insecurities with
33:45having another female, like, being physical and, like, smash that on the first note.
33:52So we're like, yay!
33:56One thing I'd say is, oh, I'll do threesomes because it's easiest.
33:59You guys have actually done probably one of the harder things.
34:01Like, foursomes are sort of easier because everyone's got something to do.
34:07Hi, I'm Alana.
34:08Hi, Alana.
34:09Lovely to meet you.
34:10Hi.
34:11So, tonight, today, tonight,
34:14you're looking for a couple swap.
34:16Yeah.
34:16Just trying to, like, find our way into it now.
34:19It's definitely been a space that's just finding our, like, place.
34:22Big thing letting someone else into your relationship.
34:25But it's nice because, like you say, everyone's, like, scenarios are different.
34:30Well, it's about you guys.
34:31That's the thing.
34:32It's like, you're not here to please someone else.
34:34Yeah.
34:35It's what's best for you.
34:37I didn't know how I was going to feel about it.
34:39Yeah.
34:40But actually, like, I shocked everyone.
34:43Ended up being absolutely fine with it.
34:46Alex and Alana were quite attractive, actually.
34:48There was definitely a vibe there.
34:51I think we'd definitely be into them if they wanted to kind of spend a bit more time with us.
34:56Can I go for a chat?
35:01Yes.
35:02All right.
35:08Mm-hmm.
35:09Ooh, thank you.
35:10How have you found it?
35:15Um, like, it's been nice to speak to couples today.
35:20Like, obviously, that was what we wanted to do.
35:24For me, I feel like, um, Jem and Daz, I just feel like they would be, like, a really great couple to get to know.
35:30I feel like they've got a similar vibe to us.
35:33How are you feeling? Is there anyone that you felt like might have had a connection with?
35:44I've, like, um, honestly, at the moment, I just don't know right now if I can go any further.
35:56OK.
36:03How do you, how are you feeling about that?
36:05Um, yeah, like, I'm a little bit surprised.
36:13What is it that's making you feel that way?
36:15Is it that you don't feel like you want to go any further at all?
36:20Or do you feel like it's just maybe been a little bit too much too soon?
36:24Like, it's just got a bit overwhelming.
36:30Mate, I don't know, like, it's more of a me thing this now.
36:38Like, for now, that's as far as I can go.
36:42You've hit, like, a bit of a wall with it.
36:44Yeah.
36:44OK.
36:49I do want to revisit this.
36:50OK.
36:50That makes me happy.
37:05With Alex unable to continue, the couple's stay at the retreat has come to an end.
37:11Going forward, I do think opening up the relationship is for me and Alana.
37:21But it's going to take time.
37:23It will take more time for me.
37:25I don't know, I feel, like, emotional now.
37:43I don't know, I feel, like, emotional now.
37:51What just happened then?
37:52I don't know.
37:55It's just the whole thing's, like, just very overwhelming, isn't it?
37:58I don't know, because I don't, like, I don't know what to say.
38:09It's just, like, a very emotional few days, isn't it?
38:12The future will, at some point, be a full open relationship, but at the moment, it's baby steps still.
38:25My house.
38:27It's just been a very overwhelming process, but I don't want to keep crying, but, like, I'm actually really proud of myself.
38:35Opening up our relationship is a lot harder than I first thought.
38:42Like, I really thought it was going to be a straight line, but it's curves and angles and everything that goes with it.
38:47It's not easy, but, like, we've absolutely got the ability to do it.
38:55I absolutely love you to pieces, and I'm happy and glad, and I love you so much.
38:59I love you so much.
39:05It just goes to show that you're saying that you haven't got it.
39:14However, if you hadn't, then why is everyone saying yes?
39:19Lauren and Tom have invited a small group back for an intimate party in the residence playroom.
39:27Even though they've said yes and all that kind of stuff, it doesn't mean, like, you know, they see me and go, actually, no, what the fuck is that?
39:33It's what goes to my head.
39:35I know.
39:37So that's why we're going to go take it one step at a time.
39:41Okay?
39:41Yeah.
39:43No pressure.
39:45They hope that by focusing on touch and foreplay, Tom will manage to get an erection,
39:51a stumbling block that's stopping the couple from opening up.
39:54I'm hoping to leave here knowing the fact that I don't have to worry about, um, for, for my dick not to hug.
40:05I don't know how I'm feeling right now, uh, I'm feeling shocked, to be fair.
40:32My biggest concern is obviously making sure Tom is comfortable because I will get naked and run around.
40:38Like, I am the complete opposite of Tom.
40:46I know I want to be open and I'm not planning on changing that.
40:49I'm not the person that struggles with this lifestyle and it's Tom that is.
40:52Should we, should we make the lighting a little bit more sexy, guys?
40:56Oh, yeah.
40:57Let's do it.
40:58Let's do it.
40:59Yeah.
40:59Just put a blindfold on and nice, nice, nice.
41:04Is there any areas that you genuinely want us to avoid?
41:07It's basically just taking the top of half.
41:09Yeah.
41:12It feels weird that I can't see you, but...
41:16I definitely want to make Lauren happy.
41:19And we'll try anything, like, jump this hurdle basically.
41:23But once it's in my head, I can't afford, I freeze.
41:27Once I'm in that rut, I can't get out of the rut.
41:30How are you feeling, mate?
41:33It's weird, but...
41:34You're getting worshipped.
41:35You're getting all the attention.
41:37This is my favourite thing.
41:41Despite Effie's advice to actively engage in foreplay, Tom lets the ladies lead.
41:47Just let us know when it gets a bit too overwhelming.
42:04It was putting shivers down my spine.
42:07I could feel everything.
42:16I feel absolutely petrified and sick.
42:24Next time on Open House...
42:26Are you ready for the next level?
42:28I feel absolutely petrified.
42:34Yeah.
42:37Is it okay to kiss?
42:39It's two guys.
42:43I have identified as gay.
42:45Today, I don't know.
42:47I've been feeling very nutty.
42:51Never had any experience with gay men before.
42:54The worst case now would be reacting in a way which I'm not expecting.
43:00This is out of my comfort area, for sure.
