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