00:00Ooh, very nice.
00:06Oh, she's really pretty.
00:08I don't want to be with just the one person for the rest of my life.
00:12We have tried swinging in the past and had issues.
00:18When it comes to having sex with a different lass,
00:22my dick doesn't grow, basically.
00:24My dick literally does not grow.
00:26When I first met Tom, he was a really cheeky chappy.
00:31Then Tom got his heart diagnosis.
00:33The doctors told me I can die at any point.
00:36To sit by and watch someone you love spiral, it is really scary.
00:40I've let myself go. Don't love myself.
00:43For you, tonight is about taking the lead.
00:46OK.
00:49Hello, everyone.
00:51The residents are all very beautiful.
00:53This is out of my comfort zone. I don't even know what to say.
00:55I don't even know what to say.
00:56Just wondering if you'd like to, like, come back with us.
00:59Do you know what? I'm down for that. I'd love to.
01:01If you want some... Yes.
01:03The heart palpitations I've got right now are through the roof.
01:07Whoa!
01:08I love him, but monogamy is not for me.
01:11So if Tom can't do this, I'm not sure, to be honest, what's going to happen.
01:15If I can't do the open relationship, we go our separate ways.
01:20The penis was not working.
01:23I feel absolutely petrified and sick.
01:27How are you feeling, Mark?
01:45It's weird.
01:47Lauren and Tom are in the playroom with a group of residents, hoping for the breakthrough their relationship needs.
01:55But Tom's struggling.
01:57I feel, like, out of place and then I'm thinking of my body again.
02:01It's a hard one, that is.
02:06Having disregarded Effie's advice to take control, now blindfolded, his fate is in the hands of the residents.
02:14We call this the princess treatment.
02:19Just lose yourself.
02:22I'm praying that today is the start of being open.
02:26How are you feeling?
02:28Yeah, it's still weird.
02:30I want to do this.
02:32I got to the point where they were sort of, like, stroking my stomach and then sort of going up my stomach.
02:37And then it got to the point where I was like, I can't, I can't do it.
02:41The penis was not working.
02:43But the women aren't ready to call it a night.
02:50For me, I really loved that before you've even taken your clothes off, that tension, that eagerness.
02:57And, like, you just start kissing and you can feel it all in your body.
03:03Oh, it's happening.
03:05It's so hard.
03:08It was, like, really hard, but I think it's on safety.
03:17It's okay.
03:18It's okay.
03:19It's okay.
03:20It's okay.
03:21It's okay.
03:22It's okay.
03:23Up and down at waves.
03:24I didn't think the penis was going to work.
03:26And then it started making me feel horny.
03:33He was just fully enjoying himself, and we were enjoying ourselves
03:48I've finished this now, so I've got an excuse
04:02It was amazing seeing Tom so turned on, and I get turned on watching him be turned on, and I absolutely loved it
04:22Come together baby, come together
04:28Come, come, come, come
04:31Oh my god
04:33Did you just come together?
04:36Yeah
04:37You both came to the same time
04:39Yeah
04:40That was so fucking hard
04:42Wow
04:43That was so hard
04:45That was amazing, because obviously our difficulties that we've had
04:48To go this far is incredible
04:50Yeah
04:51Yeah
04:52That's so hard
04:53Yeah
04:54He surrendered
04:55Yeah, he allowed us to be able to touch him, and make him, you know, in a kind of vulnerable position
05:01And he allowed us to do that, and trusted us enough, which was really lovely
05:05Success
05:06Dream Team
05:07Peen up on aisle three please
05:09Why don't you shut up?
05:10That's it
05:11That's it
05:12What's up?
05:13Hopefully it shows you that, you know, you have still got it
05:17Hopefully it shows you that, you know, you have still got it.
05:32It's just, it's overwhelming.
05:36I'm so shocked.
05:50Next morning, and despite the highs of last night, for Lauren, it only scratched the surface.
05:58We were really buzzing from last night, but on the flip side, I want to push ourselves, break out of our comfort zone.
06:05I would like to know if it would change things if my head's never going over and kind of more involved properly.
06:13I know I'm probably sounding greedy here, but this is why we're here.
06:18My head's like all over the place.
06:21I just thought last night was baby steps, really.
06:25I've still got handles to cry now.
06:31To help Lauren and Tom figure out where they go from here, they're checking in with non-monogamy coach Effie.
06:37You take a seat, get comfy.
06:41Nice.
06:43Welcome, welcome back.
06:44How was last night?
06:45It was nerve wracking.
06:47I didn't know what to do.
06:49Basically, I got blindfolded.
06:51Straight away?
06:52Yeah.
06:53Yeah.
06:54And then things just advanced.
06:55They were kissing my stomach and I was like, what the fuck's happening?
06:58I felt, I think I felt a bit dumb.
07:00So there were a lot of women that were dominating you and telling you what to do.
07:03Yeah.
07:04What I'm hearing is it feels like kind of everybody took charge of the situation.
07:09I didn't take charge.
07:11That you were, yeah.
07:12Yeah, I didn't take charge.
07:13But my penis did get hard and I did have sex as well.
07:17Nice, okay.
07:18Yeah.
07:19Well, I was with one of the single girls and Tom was with the others.
07:22The only thing I did say to Tom is I know he's more relaxed around women and I love women.
07:27Oh, definitely.
07:28So suddenly it's all the women.
07:30Maybe that is something we can look at involving more men.
07:34Okay.
07:35So in this experience so far you've been dominated by the women that were playing with you and Lauren who always takes care of you.
07:44And I think the dynamics here also needs to change it a little bit.
07:48Lauren is your wonderful support crutch person.
07:53I always go back to her.
07:55But I want to remove that from you as well.
07:57So I want you to have an experience independent of Lauren.
08:01Take charge and embrace your body.
08:04And Lauren.
08:05I would like Lauren to have her own experience.
08:08This time with a man.
08:09So the invitation is to do a couple swap but separate.
08:18Oh shit.
08:19Okay.
08:20Okay.
08:21Just thinking a bit, man.
08:23Can we feel sick?
08:24The discomfort will hit you.
08:26And at some point you will go through the discomfort.
08:29It's normal.
08:30If you weren't nervous, I'd be more worried.
08:32The more you rely on Lauren, the more you're getting away from your own gut instinct.
08:38And the scarier it is.
08:40Right?
08:41It's not about a crutch or a help.
08:46It's going to be collaboration.
08:48It's like a bit nerve-wracking, isn't it?
08:51We've got this.
08:53Today is about challenging Tom to be independent.
08:57I'm curious to see how that will affect the dynamics they have between them.
09:01Lauren needs to be a partner to Tom, not a caretaker.
09:04Oh my goodness.
09:06Oh.
09:07Don't be nervous.
09:08Honestly, you've absolutely got this.
09:11It was my idea.
09:12It has been from the start.
09:14Yes, it's throwing me and Tom in at the deep end.
09:17But I want to be able to have him have the confidence that we can just go off, have our fun, come back to each other at the end of the night.
09:22And it's been absolutely insane.
09:27But the thought of flying solo, entirely naked, isn't sitting well with Tom.
09:37Do you want some water?
09:40This is going to be horrible.
09:42I just want to cuddle you.
09:45I feel absolutely petrified and sick.
09:48All anyone can ask is that you just try, OK?
09:52The nerves, babe, I'm not even joking.
09:56You got this?
10:02I'm shitting myself.
10:21Well, here we are.
10:22Here we are.
10:23It's fine.
10:24Everything's going to be fine.
10:25Next to arrive at the retreat are Simon and his partner, Chris.
10:30When I first met Simon, I realised I was going to have to come out because he was so handsome.
10:36And I was determined to make him my boyfriend.
10:40I thought he was very goofy.
10:45He was very funny.
10:46He didn't take himself too seriously.
10:49Jumbo, you said to me.
10:50You said I had meaty thighs.
10:52Meaty thighs.
10:53I did, yeah.
10:54You nervous?
10:55I am nervous.
10:56Me too.
10:57The pair met seven years ago and recently got engaged.
11:03I wanted to propose.
11:04I wanted to propose to Chris and he wanted to propose to me.
11:07I took us to an ancient oak forest, which I thought was very romantic.
11:12And then we proposed to each other on the same day.
11:15It was beautiful.
11:16And now for Simon, there's another big question that needs answering.
11:21I have question marks over my sexuality.
11:25I have identified as gay since I came out when I was 18.
11:32Today, I don't know.
11:37Just two normal gay men doing a very normal thing.
11:42Yeah.
11:43What the hell are we doing?
11:46Luckily, Chris has agreed to join Simon on this voyage of self-discovery.
11:51Simon brought up the idea of exploring a sexual relationship with a woman.
11:54And I was, like, open to exploring that side of my sexuality.
11:59But equally, I wouldn't be exploring this if Simon hadn't, like, brought up initially.
12:03I will be, I will try and be as open as possible.
12:06And hopefully that goes well.
12:09How different could it be?
12:11Which I was just a clean bum.
12:13Yeah, exactly.
12:18Oh, wow.
12:21Is it two gay guys?
12:25Yes.
12:26It's two guys.
12:30Get in.
12:31Back in the net.
12:32Wasn't expecting to, but.
12:34Woo!
12:35So lovely and refreshing to see, like, a gay couple come into open house.
12:43Because we haven't had that before, which is amazing.
12:45This is amazing.
12:46Hello.
12:47Fucking lovely!
12:48Oh my god, this is sick!
12:52Hello.
12:53Hiya.
12:54Welcome!
12:55Hello.
12:56How are we doing?
12:57Good, how are you?
12:58Hello.
12:59Hello.
13:00Chris, nice to meet you.
13:01How are you?
13:02Welcome, guys.
13:03We haven't had a guy go before.
13:04Have you not?
13:05No!
13:06This is very exciting.
13:07It's why you've got a big cheer.
13:08I know, I'm like, what a reception!
13:10Well, I mean, did you hear the cheers?
13:12I think everyone's super excited to have the first ever male-male couple coming in.
13:17Hi, Simon.
13:18Hello.
13:19I'm great.
13:20Hello, Grace.
13:21I'm Simon.
13:22How are you?
13:23Good to meet you.
13:25My first impressions, I think they're a bit easy on the eye.
13:26Yeah, we're really excited to have you guys here as well.
13:28I wasn't expecting a round of applause, but I appreciated it nonetheless.
13:31Simon.
13:32How are you?
13:33You too.
13:34Yeah, you good?
13:35I'm Joe.
13:36Joe, nice to meet you.
13:37I think there were a few surprised faces, maybe, to see a couple of guys walking in.
13:40It was a bit overwhelming.
13:42I wasn't really too sure, like, where to look or what to do.
13:44Nice to meet you.
13:45Do you want two kisses?
13:46Yes, I'm right.
13:47Simon, nice to meet you.
13:48Hello.
13:49Hi, Mary.
13:50Nice to meet you.
13:51Never had any experience with gaming before, and I think it's one of my fantasy, actually.
13:57I'm feeling very naughty, actually.
14:02That's a very good turn on.
14:04Another round of applause, guys.
14:06Woo!
14:07Oh, there's nice oranges.
14:11I thought, I didn't think we were going to be meeting people straight away.
14:16No, neither did I.
14:19It's important to know exactly who I am as a person, so that's why I'm here.
14:25First gay couple.
14:26First gay couple.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Two guys.
14:29The shock.
14:30Chris and Simon.
14:31Hello.
14:32Welcome, Effie.
14:33Hello.
14:34Nice to meet you.
14:35Come in.
14:37Jump on the couch, get comfy.
14:40Cozy?
14:41Yeah.
14:42Comfy, cozy.
14:43This is a lovely sofa.
14:44So, tell me what brings you here today.
14:47I guess, ultimately we're here because we both want to explore parts of our sexuality
14:54that we haven't really had the opportunity to explore before.
14:58Like, I don't want to ruin my, like, end my relationship with Chris to explore with women.
15:03It's just that it feels like now is a time in my life where, like, I want to explore.
15:10Since I came out as gay, I've put myself in a box and only really allowed myself to find men attractive.
15:17It's hard to explain, but it's just so much pressure that you're dealing with internally
15:24and you get externally as well every day of your life.
15:32And it sucks.
15:40What's happened is I've just not entertained those feelings towards women.
15:50So, I think it's there.
15:51Mm-hmm.
15:52I just haven't acted on it.
15:53Sure.
15:54Okay.
15:55Do you find women attractive?
15:56I do find women attractive, but I think I don't know what I find in the bedroom sexy about a woman.
16:03Okay.
16:04I understand that.
16:06I just feel like I need to be in a situation where, like, I'm allowing myself to feel aroused by being with a woman.
16:14Mm-hmm.
16:15Going to dig into that for sure.
16:17Sure.
16:18But I want to hear from Chris first.
16:21Do you find women attractive?
16:23Yeah, I think so.
16:24But it's just not something which I actively seek out.
16:27You're not seeking.
16:28Okay.
16:29Any concerns about the experience?
16:37Yeah, I'm just sort of coming here thinking, well, I'm not very sexually experienced.
16:42I consider myself particularly, like, social and outgoing.
16:46Okay.
16:47So, I'm really battling against my own demons in that sense.
16:49Any other concerns?
16:50Concerns about the relationship?
16:52If you're asking me what the worst case scenario would be, it would be reacting in a way which I'm not expecting.
16:58And, like, feeling jealous about someone opening up with women, which I guess is always the thing.
17:07You've not explored a female body.
17:09Hmm.
17:10Do you know what you're doing?
17:13I do not know what I'm doing.
17:14Okay.
17:15We don't know what we're doing.
17:16I didn't want to assume.
17:17No, no, no.
17:18We don't know what we're doing.
17:19Okay.
17:20It's very nerve-wracking.
17:21I'm huge on communication.
17:23And I just think, like, having it all out there in the open and just, like, this is what I said about, like...
17:26Learning on the job.
17:27Well, yeah, basically.
17:28It's just like learning a new skill, isn't it?
17:30You know, if I took up painting, I'm not going to be painting masterpieces straight away.
17:34Sure.
17:35So, tonight, there's a social.
17:38It's a black-tie soiree.
17:41And I think, Chris, my challenge for you is to kind of socialize solo for a little bit.
17:46Great.
17:47Yeah, yeah, all right.
17:48And then see where both your connections take you.
17:51Ultimately, you want it to get physical.
17:54But this will only happen if you are both relaxed and open.
17:59How does that feel?
18:00I'm excited.
18:01I'm excited for you.
18:02I'm nervous, but I'm excited.
18:03Yeah.
18:04Good.
18:05Good.
18:06Excellent.
18:07It's massive.
18:08I know.
18:09You can often get a couple where one party is super clear about what they want and the
18:11other party is going on for the ride.
18:13But if Simon and Chris react differently to opening up, this could cause a rift.
18:21This is a situation where we have said that we wanted to come into this together, hand-in-hand,
18:26and walk out of this hand-in-hand.
18:28Did you see anyone that you liked that would come in?
18:31So, yeah, there were a couple of girls, for sure.
18:33But I could come out of this entire experience and realize that I actually really prefer to
18:39have sex with women.
18:45If anything were to ever jeopardize our relationship, that terrifies me.
18:51Lauren?
18:52Yeah.
18:53Very smart.
18:54Yeah?
18:55I like it.
18:56Yesterday, Lauren and Tom took their first step towards non-monogamy.
18:58This evening, they'll attempt to push things further by way of a couple swap.
19:12Oh, my God!
19:13That bruise is massive!
19:14It's because I've got a really bony knee and it was like a wooden floor.
19:18With husband and wife Gage and Olivia, who they met at last night's social.
19:23So, we're excited to spend some more time with them.
19:25Hopefully, have that little bit more of a flirt and see where things go.
19:29But are we having drinks with friends or drinks with friend friends?
19:34If tonight goes to plan, Lauren and Tom will experience having sex with other people separately
19:40for the first time.
19:42So, the idea of...
19:44It seems like more of a tease for me because I can't see you with this other woman.
19:49But I know that you're going to be with her.
19:51I don't know how to explain it.
19:53It just really makes me so horny.
19:55Are you nervous?
19:56Yeah.
19:57Yeah.
19:58Going in there together first.
19:59Yeah.
20:00But then literally only having a couple of drinks and then going to the bedroom.
20:05I've got loads of shit going from my head.
20:08If they do say yes, I'm not going to be in the room with Lauren.
20:11She's not going to be in the room with me.
20:13It's a big thing.
20:14If I can do this, I can do anything else.
20:16So, just again, I have to wait and see.
20:20I can't...
20:21Yeah.
20:22Other than that, I'm shitting it.
20:23Yeah.
20:24I'm nervous.
20:25Are you?
20:26Yeah.
20:28Because it's one on one, isn't it?
20:30I really want it to be a success today, but I'm really nervous.
20:34Yeah.
20:35The idea of being completely separate.
20:37There is a real worry, you know, if it doesn't go to plan.
20:42Going forward, looking at our future.
20:44I honestly don't know what we'll do.
20:46Thanks for inviting us.
20:47No, no, thank you.
20:48It was really nice that you actually are here now.
20:49Cheers!
20:50Yeah, definitely.
20:51Cheers.
20:52Thanks for joining us.
20:54You missed your wife.
20:55Tom was really nervous.
20:56I think the initial nerves and feeling like that, it's always going to be there because it
21:10is outside the box.
21:11It is unusual.
21:1212 years.
21:13I remember 12 years, right?
21:14I think I remember it.
21:15I'm not too sure.
21:16Yeah, we've been married.
21:1712 years.
21:18Wow.
21:19Yeah.
21:20And still strong?
21:21Yeah.
21:22If you would have met me eight years ago and you said swinging or non-monogamy, I'd have
21:29to Google it.
21:30But it's like, it's a bug that gets you.
21:34And once you kind of like taste that rainbow and get a feeling for it, you go, I get why
21:39people are non-monogamous.
21:41Down to the swinging side of it, obviously, like, every situation is completely different.
21:48Separate room stuff and you're always thinking, what's Gage doing?
21:52Like, you're always doing that.
21:53Yeah.
21:54And that's, yeah, well, like, we've never actually been apart.
22:01I'm really fucking nervous because I find it really intimidating.
22:08So I'm always, like, thinking.
22:09I overthink a lot of things and then it's in my head.
22:14This is literally out of my comfort zone.
22:17We'd love to know how different it feels to be separate.
22:20We play together and separately, but there's also a dynamic to it where, you know, they're
22:26only down the corridor and sometimes you can hear what they're saying and it, you know,
22:30fuels a bit more of that adrenaline and nervous energy.
22:33Just talk more and just see what happens, basically.
22:36Yeah.
22:37All that's in the back of my mind is the next step and I'm going.
22:42I'm a bit intimidated, but in a good way.
22:45I was actually going to ask you if it's okay if we can take this somewhere else.
22:59I'm happy.
23:01That's only if you're okay with it.
23:02Yeah.
23:03Let's do it.
23:04Here we go.
23:05What's most important for me tonight would be that we ended up in separate rooms with
23:14separate people and we're comfortable and we're happy.
23:18We're literally kind of a few doors down from each other.
23:21So this is our room.
23:25Stop thinking about everything else and go from there.
23:31You've got to take charge this time and no blindfolds.
23:35Yeah, I didn't really think of that, but yeah.
23:40Of course.
23:41Of course.
23:42I can tell by just the way he looks at me if he's feeling uncomfortable.
23:45I'm really scared that tonight he is not going to be able to perform and he's going to
23:52really beat himself up about it and therefore be put off completely from opening up properly.
23:58You're nervous now, aren't you?
24:00Oh, frickin' it.
24:10Mother.
24:11Last one.
24:12Are you nervous now?
24:13I'm absolutely shitting it.
24:14Are you all right?
24:15Why are you shitting it?
24:16I don't know.
24:17It's because you're attractive and I'm like, wow.
24:20Lauren and Tom are one step closer to their dream of a fully open relationship.
24:26Tom and me have not been apart.
24:29But having now parted ways for a separate couple swap, Tom is wavering.
24:34In my head, it's like, I know what I want to do.
24:37Yeah.
24:38And it's just, it's like the start of what to do.
24:41Like if you have a negative first experience, it could then change their whole opinion about it.
24:47This is, this is our first.
24:49You are our first.
24:50Oh, shit!
24:51Well done.
24:54I'm just sort of like tiptoeing around.
24:56I'm trying to find conversation.
24:58I'm trying to, cause it's, it's going in my head now.
25:01Like, you know, we're in the room together and it's just me and Olivia and Lauren's not here.
25:07What do you prefer then?
25:08Do you prefer like this or do you prefer it in the dark?
25:13Um, this is very bright.
25:23What about now?
25:24Hmm.
25:25Is that better?
25:26Hmm.
25:27I know it sounds like strong, but I feel petrified.
25:33Yeah, I'm happy with that.
25:34Are you sure?
25:35Are you a good kisser?
25:36I don't know.
25:37I've been told I am.
25:38I'll tell you the truth right now.
25:39Okay.
25:40Go then.
25:41I like to say I'm here for a good time, not a long time.
25:44When it comes to sex life, anything that kind of really gets my heart rate going, I love.
25:51Definitely happy?
25:52Yeah, not, not quite.
25:53And kissing wise, is it okay to kiss?
25:54Okay to kiss.
25:55My head's a bit scrambled.
25:56My head, it goes, am I doing it the right way?
25:58Is she enjoying it?
25:59Is she not enjoying it?
26:00It's like timidated.
26:01I feel shit.
26:02I'm gonna be shit in bed.
26:25I feel like she's not enjoying it, no.
26:28Gage was amazing, was mad.
26:31It was it was really, really good.
26:45I'm not getting naked until you're naked.
26:47Oh fuck you have to make me do that, aren't you?
26:49Yeah.
26:50Really?
26:51Yeah, we're getting there.
26:54I don't usually do this.
27:02I want to do it for Lauren and for me.
27:04Really, I should do it for me.
27:06But yeah, doing it takes a lot of balls.
27:10Stop getting in your head.
27:14The only way I feel like to get over that hurdle is to jump in the deep end.
27:24I think you're in my head right now.
27:33You're making me hard already.
27:54The clothes came off, they went flying.
27:59Pillows went flying.
28:01I was making a move with her.
28:02I was being the one in control.
28:04It's got even stronger and it was amazing.
28:06You okay?
28:07Feel comfortable?
28:08I feel amazing.
28:09Good.
28:10It's actually great.
28:16Hello.
28:18You okay? Feel comfortable?
28:20I think I did.
28:21Good!
28:22You're actually great.
28:28Hello?
28:32Hello, gorgeous!
28:34Oh my god!
28:36Do you hear us?
28:37Yes, and that's when I was like,
28:38I've had an amazing time, it sounds like you just did too.
28:41I've got my top off!
28:47Nice swap!
28:50As you can tell, the smile on my face, yeah, it was a happy ending.
28:56Don't know what happened, it just felt right.
28:59Now we are definitely going to be open to a couple swaps.
29:04It has always been my dream.
29:06Yeah, I think I've nailed it, to be fair, yeah.
29:09You did?
29:10Yeah, that was great.
29:11Cheers!
29:12Cheers!
29:13Hey guys!
29:21I really enjoyed myself.
29:22You were really good.
29:27Stood on the balcony, naked, and it was just a moment,
29:30and you're kind of like, this is it.
29:32This is what the lifestyle is about.
29:34Guys, I love you all to bits, but I am fucking freezing.
29:36It's cold, it's cold.
29:37It's cold.
29:38I'm built for cold, I'm not screaming.
29:46I'm a new person.
29:49I'm sleeping naked tonight.
29:51Do it!
29:52Honestly, like, the changes in you in the last 12 hours have been nuts.
29:57I just, I love sex.
30:12Are you horny, Dad?
30:14I am so horny.
30:16Buzzing.
30:17Buzzing.
30:18Giddy.
30:19When you couple swap, it's the after-effect, it's the love that it brings you closer, and that's what I love.
30:33It gets me horny, man.
30:34Yeah, we literally, we haven't been able to keep our hands off each other since last night.
30:41Happy that we're here.
30:42Happy that we're here.
30:43Don't want to go home.
30:44Don't want to go home.
30:46Best experience ever.
30:49And to be fair, for me, it's helped massively.
30:52I'm on the right track to be in what I want in life.
30:57My room.
30:59I'm gonna miss this place.
31:03Good morning.
31:04Good morning.
31:05How are you?
31:06Co-ordinating in your case.
31:08How are you?
31:09How are you doing?
31:10You all right?
31:11How are you doing?
31:12I had such a blast.
31:13We were buzzing last night, wasn't we?
31:14Yeah.
31:15We literally had sex straight after.
31:16It's like, wow.
31:17We did it.
31:18We, I think...
31:19It was basically magical.
31:20It was to the point where I'm hoping, on the outside of this, we can have that connection
31:25with them too.
31:26So you're on the outside all right?
31:27Definitely.
31:28Yeah, make sure you look safe.
31:29Thank you very much.
31:30Another cuddle.
31:32We met our people.
31:35You all right?
31:36Again, everyone, it's been amazing.
31:39We're now excited about leaving here and continuing with the non-monogamy.
31:43Yeah, definitely.
31:44Thank you very much, everyone.
31:45Take care.
31:46Thanks, guys.
31:47Lovely to be cool.
31:48Thank you again.
31:49Take care.
31:50It's been amazing, isn't it?
31:51Yes.
31:52We're now excited more than ever about the wedding.
31:55And of course, knowing both of us, it's going to be a huge party.
31:58Yeah.
31:59And the after-after party might be quite naughty.
32:01It'll be different, yeah.
32:05One of the best experiences I've ever had in my life, but it's because of you.
32:09What a handsome man.
32:10What a handsome man.
32:11Newcomers, Simon and Chris, are about to make their debut at a black tie social on the
32:34terrace, where they hope to find a female resident to explore their sexuality with.
32:42I don't know how to flirt with a girl.
32:45Flirting is with men.
32:47Always has been with men.
32:51I don't know how to flirt with women.
32:53I don't think I know how to flirt with men, though.
32:55So hopefully that goes well.
33:00Let's do it.
33:04I've definitely come here looking for answers.
33:11I'm hoping that tonight helps me find those answers.
33:16But I think Chris might struggle.
33:19But sometimes I end up panicking in social situations.
33:22I feel nervous.
33:23I'm suddenly getting a big rush of butterflies in my stomach.
33:28I've questioned the decision to do this.
33:30I think this could open doors for us.
33:32Or close them.
33:33Have fun.
33:34You too.
33:35See you later.
33:37Hello.
33:38Evening.
33:39Good evening.
33:40Wasting no time, Simon makes a beeline for seasoned resident Jen.
33:44Simon and Mark.
33:45Hello, Mark.
33:46Hello, Mark.
33:47How are you?
33:48Who's at the retreat with her partner, Mark.
33:49It's one of her big fantasies is having sex with my guys.
33:50Bye guys.
33:51Bye guys.
33:52Be bye.
33:53Yeah.
33:54Every morning I wake up and she's looking at me like.
33:55I wish you were bye.
33:56Give us a little bit like.
33:57Give us a little bit of this.
33:58Bit of that.
33:59makes a beeline for seasoned resident, Jen.
34:04Simon, I'm Mark.
34:05Hello, Mark, how are you?
34:06Who's at the retreat with her partner, Mark.
34:09It's one of her big fantasies is having sex with my guys.
34:14Be bi?
34:15Yeah.
34:16Every morning I wake up and she's looking at me like,
34:19I wish you were bi.
34:23Give us a little bit of this, a bit of that.
34:25James Bond.
34:26Yeah, get one of those out.
34:27Tell us your story.
34:30We've heard that you may be looking at exploring bi with a girl.
34:35Correct.
34:35Okay.
34:36Hot.
34:37Yeah.
34:38The thing is like, I'm a very confident person.
34:42I'm not the kind of person to really give a fuck what people think about me.
34:45I'm like very like, this is me, thank you.
34:48I care about that opinion.
34:49Jen instantly made me laugh.
34:52She put me at ease.
34:54Jen's gorgeous.
34:57Simon seemed forwardly flirty.
35:00Yes.
35:01I also noticed Simon's eyes, very, very intense, very amazing.
35:05Lovely chatting with you.
35:06Cool.
35:07We'll see you later on.
35:08As Simon works the room.
35:09How are you?
35:10Very good.
35:11Fantastic.
35:12Yeah.
35:13Good.
35:15It's lovely to meet you.
35:16Chris homes in on residents Georgie and Emily.
35:18How are you guys?
35:19Yeah.
35:20Good.
35:21Full moon.
35:22Have you seen the day?
35:23Mmm.
35:24It is beautiful.
35:25So what's your goals for this evening?
35:29Um, I don't know.
35:30Try and talk to people.
35:31Yeah.
35:32Try and talk to people.
35:33I'm nervous about being on my own.
35:34Yeah.
35:35It's new.
35:36It's not like my strength.
35:37I don't know.
35:38The reason we're here is we're interested in experimenting with women.
35:42So what brings you guys here?
35:43We love to play.
35:44Yeah.
35:45We to play.
35:46Yeah.
35:47So how do you think the night rule turned out?
35:48Just one girl or are you playing together with one girl, two girls?
35:49I'm a really picky person.
35:50Oh, okay.
35:51When it comes to, like, guys and girls, I'm like, I just, I don't know.
35:54I have to, like, get to know people before I'm able to be attracted to them.
35:57Yeah.
35:58I'm a really picky person.
35:59Yeah.
36:00Oh, okay.
36:01When it comes to, like, guys and girls, I'm like, I just, I don't know.
36:03I have to, like, get to know people before I'm able to be attracted to them.
36:08Yeah.
36:09Yeah.
36:10I was thinking if it was, like, one girl or maybe two or three.
36:13Oh, yeah.
36:14That's the question, wasn't it?
36:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:16I think, like, it depends who we're attracted to.
36:17Okay.
36:18We'd happily do something just, like, the two of us, like, with one girl or two or three
36:23and we'd just keep chucking them in the pile.
36:24Yeah.
36:25My biggest fear is just, like, not having enough to say, running out of conversation topics,
36:36repeating myself.
36:37I feel very awkward.
36:38I feel awkward right now.
36:39I'm struggling for conversation.
36:41The worst thing is, like, if I don't vibe with anyone.
36:44I think when people are nervous, I'm not super, like, pushy and, like, you know, I'm not
36:52going to take someone into a situation they don't want to be in.
36:56I mean, we feel like we shouldn't take too much of your time.
36:59Yeah, we don't have a seat.
37:00I'm going to go and grab him with a drink.
37:01Yes.
37:02We'll have a little seat.
37:03A red flag that I see when couples are trying to open up is when one is really into it.
37:08I've got the connection and I can see naughty eyes.
37:12One's just going along with it.
37:13This is mortifying.
37:14I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Simon, so this is out of my comfort area for sure.
37:27How are you?
37:28Good, how are you?
37:29Lovely to see you.
37:30Naomi.
37:31Yeah.
37:32Lovely.
37:33How are you?
37:34Good, how are you?
37:35Lovely to see you.
37:36Naomi.
37:37Yeah.
37:38Lovely.
37:39How did she remember that?
37:40Simon and his fiancée, Chris, are one hour into their first social, where they hope
37:55to find a woman to open up with.
37:58Before anything, you look absolutely stunning.
38:00Your hair is gorgeous and your eyes are absolutely beautiful.
38:04Hands down.
38:05I'm actually blushing.
38:06While Simon has quickly found chemistry with the female residents, flirting with the opposite
38:12sex hasn't come as naturally to Chris.
38:15I take a while to come out of my shell, so I'm someone who holds myself back.
38:19Fantastic.
38:20I feel the same way.
38:21I'm going to hide around in this table.
38:24Yeah.
38:25We'll just look at each other sort of indirectly.
38:27Yeah.
38:28Come back and step in here.
38:29We can get close.
38:30I'll help you.
38:31With Chris, I could definitely sense nerves.
38:33He's a little bit goofy, but I love that, because I can get a bit like that as well.
38:37A bit more of a reactive conversation.
38:39I'm not, like, I'm terrible.
38:41That's why I sort of hang on with Simon.
38:42Conversation starter's terrible.
38:43Me as well.
38:44Yes.
38:45I would say I'm attracted to Grace.
38:47She seems like me in the sense that, like, she's a bit more reserved.
38:50Yeah, you're me.
38:51You're me.
38:52Okay.
38:53That's good though.
38:54Good luck.
38:55Chris has found a kindred spirit in Grace, and Simon's connection with resident Naomi
39:01is growing ever stronger.
39:02I'm going to put that there.
39:03I should just keep playing with it.
39:05Hands, Simon.
39:06Hands.
39:07It's okay.
39:08You can play with, like, my coat.
39:09I mean, yeah, I'm just going to, like, I'll just, yeah, leave my hand here.
39:11Did you pick that one as well, so you could get stroked?
39:14Yeah.
39:15If I did, is that a problem?
39:17No, never, never.
39:18Do you want to stroke my arm?
39:20I'm, like, a text person.
39:21Go on, that's fine.
39:22I'm such a text person, and I can't keep my hands still.
39:25You can absolutely keep your hands on my arm if you would like, so that's completely
39:27okay with me.
39:29Please tell me about anything about you.
39:32I know that I can love more than one, and I want to fill my life with love, but society
39:37tells me I have to choose, right?
39:39So then it was...
39:40You are, yep.
39:41Yeah, you get it.
39:42Keep going, I am with you.
39:43You're on it.
39:44I'm on it, yeah.
39:45I'd say I'm attracted to Naomi, her hair, her eyes, she's just a beautiful girl.
39:49Honestly, like, I would love to chat with you more.
39:50Yeah, that would be funny.
39:51Naomi, well.
40:01With the night drawing on...
40:03Are you over here?
40:04..it's time for Simon and Chris to decide if they're ready to take things further with
40:09any of the women.
40:11How's it going?
40:12So, what are your thoughts?
40:18I don't know.
40:19If you are not open to, like, doing, like, larger group stuff, as in, like, an orgy, for
40:25example...
40:26Yeah.
40:27So, if we went to two girls, how do we feel about that?
40:32I don't know.
40:33I don't know.
40:34I guess it depends, like...
40:38Doing it is what I need to do to get more clarity on the question marks that I have in my head.
40:44Well, we do need to make a choice.
40:45Make a decision.
40:46Um...
40:59I don't know.
41:00I don't know.
41:01I think there's nothing wrong with extending an invitation to a hot tub.
41:02Cool.
41:03Okay.
41:04See who's your fancy.
41:05I had such an amazing connection with Naomi.
41:06She is, like, a front runner for me.
41:07I was talking to Grace.
41:08She's quite a shy person.
41:09Yes.
41:10And I was like, well, I'm also quite a shy person.
41:11Yeah.
41:12But, yeah, she was very nice.
41:13What about Jen?
41:14She was really funny.
41:15Superhelps.
41:16Yeah.
41:17I think there's nothing wrong with extending an invitation.
41:18To a hot tub.
41:19Cool.
41:20Okay.
41:21See who's your fancy.
41:22I had such an amazing connection with Naomi.
41:23She is, like, a front runner for me.
41:27I was talking to Grace.
41:29She's quite a shy person.
41:30Yes.
41:31And I was like, well, I'm also quite a shy person.
41:33Yeah.
41:34But, yeah, she was very nice.
41:35What about Jen?
41:36She was really funny.
41:37How about we maybe go and have a chat with Naomi, Grace and Jen?
41:46Yeah.
41:47Let's fucking do it.
41:48Cool.
41:51We've got something to say.
41:53Ladies.
41:54First to get an invite is Grace.
41:57Oh, this is terrifying, isn't it?
41:59Hello.
42:00Who is Grace?
42:01Er, Grace.
42:02Yes, darling.
42:03Simon and I were wondering if you'd like to draw us in the hot tub.
42:06Do you know what?
42:07I would absolutely love to because you two are, like, my type of guys.
42:12I think you would be absolutely great, like, for what you're looking for.
42:15I don't think I'm the right person.
42:16That's okay.
42:17I don't even talk to me about this.
42:20It makes me so sad that I said no.
42:23I turned them down because they, like, are not people that I would see sexually.
42:27So I knew I wouldn't be the right person.
42:30I don't know what to do now.
42:33What do you say?
42:34Erm, yeah.
42:35She doesn't think that what we're looking for is what she can provide.
42:39It's cool.
42:40That's absolutely fine.
42:42Oh, darling.
42:43Hello, ladies.
42:44How are we?
42:45Hello.
42:46I was just going to ask, um, Jen, if you would like to spend some more time with us this
42:49evening?
42:50We were planning on going to the hot tub and then see how things go.
42:53I'm a yes.
42:54Check in.
42:55Cool.
42:56All right.
42:57We'll catch up with you in a bit.
42:58Yeah, Chris and I were both wondering if you would like to spend some more time with
43:01us this evening.
43:02We were going to go and hang out in the hot tub for a bit and then just see how the evening
43:05goes.
43:06Yeah.
43:07That sound good?
43:08That would be lovely.
43:09Cool.
43:10Fantastic.
43:11I'm looking forward to developing more of a connection, but yeah, if I feel it, I'll
43:14definitely lean into it and see where it goes.
43:16Are you happy with that?
43:17Yeah.
43:18We'll take the two wins.
43:19Yes.
43:22Right.
43:23What else do we need?
43:25It's, it's a big deal in the fact that it's definitely a step further towards figuring
43:32out what exactly what I came here to figure out.
43:35You're with me.
43:36I am with you.
43:38But I'm nervous because I have never had sex with a woman.
43:43I don't know what I'm doing.
43:45I have no idea what to do with one woman, let alone what to do with two women.
43:53Oh, hell yeah.
43:54Is it good?
43:55It's just so much more than anything else.
43:58I guess it's new.
43:59This is a new experience for us.
44:01I hadn't put any thought into the seduction side of it.
44:04What are you feeling?
44:05I'm definitely interested in taking things a little bit further, but we'll see.
44:19The worst thing that I can think of is just one of us, like, reacting badly to something
44:25that happens.
44:26But, you know, here we are.
44:29Yeah.
44:30Uh, well, here comes some of the girls.
44:38This is definitely a very big moment in our relationship because this is a doorway towards something
44:45which could be, like, a huge change for us.
44:51Next time on Open House.
44:54Would you be willing to have two separate experiences?
45:00I just like having Simon around.
45:03Hi.
45:04Hello.
45:05Got butterflies.
45:06I'm feeling a bit, like, giddy.
45:08Oh.
45:09Yeah.
45:10He's not here.
45:11I feel like we're walking into a lion's den, to be honest.
45:20Oh, my God.
45:21They're so cute.
45:22Neither of us have had, like, many sexual partners in the past.
45:25How are you feeling?
45:27This whole experience is obviously completely alien to us.
45:31It's just a bit much for me.
45:33Like, I just don't want to go back in.
