00:00How are you feeling?
00:05Anxious. It's just the unknown, isn't it?
00:08Yes.
00:10En route to the unique retreat today are married couple Jamie and Charmaine from Essex.
00:16I do put you in some situations, don't I?
00:21Jamie is very laid back. That's like the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Jamie.
00:27I would describe myself as quiet, private.
00:31In the past I've spoke for you a lot haven't I?
00:34Yeah.
00:35I'm very chaotic.
00:37The couple have been together for eight years and have three children.
00:42Two from Charmaine's previous relationship and one together.
00:46Our lives are very mundane.
00:48Just a normal family, just trying to get by.
00:51Very unsuspecting to do something like this.
00:54Charmaine believes that opening up their relationship will make up for lost time.
01:01When I was 18 I was raising children so I never had that sort of rebellious teenage stage.
01:09You know, drinking, partying and neither of us have been with like lots of previous sexual partners even now.
01:18Me and Jamie we don't go out socialising loads.
01:21So the social aspect of opening up is just as appealing for us as like the sexual aspect.
01:27No going back now.
01:30If you're secure in your relationship that opening up can be a great thing.
01:36It has an element of honesty about what it is you desire.
01:39I just feel like we're not meant to be with one person our whole lives.
01:42I feel like why would we limit ourselves to one person if we can experience all of these different things together.
01:49How are you feeling?
01:51I'm nervous to meet new people but I think it will be a good thing for us.
01:57It's got to go with it.
01:59I am a little bit worried that this experience might cause a lot of conflict if it was to go wrong.
02:06You know, it's not just us to think about, it's all of the children.
02:11You're not riding on this then?
02:12Yeah, there is a lot.
02:14There's a lot at stake.
02:16It's not something we've taken lightly.
02:18I feel like we're walking into a lion's den to be honest.
02:22I'm anxious of the unknown and the fact that if we do end up opening up,
02:27I don't know how I'm going to feel in that moment.
02:30Sort of doing this is very out of character for me.
02:35This is it.
02:36What are we doing?
02:41Oh my God, they're so cute.
02:43Welcome!
02:44Hiya!
02:47I know couples coming to the retreat are going to be extremely nervous.
02:50What are we getting ourselves into?
02:52Are you okay?
02:53My advice is to rip that bandaid off and just do it.
02:57Hello guys.
02:58Hi, I'm Jen.
02:59How you doing?
03:00Welcome to the house.
03:01Can't wait to get to know them.
03:02Yeah, I think there's definitely an initial sexual attraction there for us.
03:06Yeah, for sure.
03:07Hello, gorgeous.
03:08Welcome.
03:09So, we're looking forward to seeing where we can take things.
03:12Lily.
03:13I'm Charmaine.
03:14Charmaine, nice to meet you.
03:15Charmaine and Jamie are super hot.
03:17They seem really friendly and nice.
03:18Excited to be here.
03:19I'm a bit nervous.
03:20We're nervous.
03:21We're definitely nervous, but we are excited.
03:23Everyone here is super lovely, so.
03:25Jamie did seem a little bit apprehensive.
03:27Maybe a little bit of nerves there.
03:29What do you think?
03:30Yeah.
03:31He's a bit of you, isn't he?
03:32Yeah, they're both really good.
03:33Everyone's like, oh.
03:35Book the order room for tonight, please.
03:38I don't think we expected to be greeted by so many people, but I think it was very daunting
03:43sort of walking into that situation, because it's the unknown, and everybody's so confident.
03:52God.
03:53I love you.
03:54I love you too.
03:59Are you okay?
04:00Sure.
04:01I can feel you.
04:02On hand to help Charmaine and Jamie navigate opening up their relationship is non-monogamy
04:13coach Effie Blue.
04:14Hello.
04:15Welcome.
04:16Welcome.
04:17I'm Effie.
04:18Nice to meet you.
04:19You too.
04:20Come in, come in.
04:25Take a seat on the couch.
04:26Make yourselves comfortable.
04:28What brings you here today?
04:32I think opening up has been something that we've spoken about for about five years maybe
04:37now.
04:38Four or five years at least.
04:40So is variety something that kind of excites you?
04:45Neither of us have had much, like many sexual partners in the past.
04:49I've only slept with three people.
04:52Okay.
04:53Whose idea was opening up?
04:55It was mine.
04:56Okay.
04:57I'm just the bad influence.
04:58Okay.
04:59How did you throw it on?
05:00I think that I said, like, I'd like to see him with another woman.
05:04Okay.
05:05At first I was a bit like, okay, I wasn't expecting this.
05:10And the more I thought about it, I sort of thought, perhaps if we are going to open up,
05:16the safest route would be to do it together.
05:18Okay.
05:19With another couple.
05:20Okay.
05:21What do you think is going to be the biggest hurdle for you?
05:24I think for me, maybe the fear of rejection a little bit.
05:30I have quite a few insecurities.
05:33I've had my children very young.
05:35So obviously, you know, my body has changed a lot.
05:38So, like, the idea of approaching people and being rejected, that makes me nervous.
05:45Everybody is afraid of being rejected, especially in the non-monogamy world.
05:49And more often than not, no one's really rejecting the person.
05:53It's just about what they want and what they're looking for doesn't align with what you're looking for.
05:59Does that make sense?
06:00Yeah, that makes sense.
06:02For you, Jamie?
06:03What do you think is going to be the biggest hurdle for you?
06:05I feel like the social aspect of it will be the biggest barrier.
06:09I feel like I can, you can probably see it now, I talk over Jamie a lot.
06:12I feel like I lead the conversations.
06:15Do you feel that?
06:16Do you have awareness of that?
06:18Yes, I'm aware.
06:19Sometimes I'm grateful for it as well though.
06:21Mm-hmm.
06:22Sometimes I think it takes the pressure off.
06:24Mm-hmm.
06:26I can sort of hide behind her, I guess.
06:29Yeah, yeah, for sure, yeah.
06:30Do you feel seen?
06:31I try and hide, I try to be unseen.
06:34Tell me why you want to be unseen.
06:36Um, I'm guessing, um, it feels, um, safer.
06:45Yeah.
06:46OK.
06:48I, um, I spend a lot of time questioning what people's intentions actually are.
07:00You can imagine that makes connecting really hard.
07:03It can do, yeah.
07:04Yeah.
07:08Why do you want to take this, like, massive leap into non-monogamy, which is going to challenge
07:15all these things that you're struggling with?
07:18We go backwards and forwards, don't we?
07:19Like, is it something we really, really want?
07:21Sure.
07:22It's a big decision.
07:23Or is it something that is just a fantasy?
07:26Mm-hmm.
07:27Tonight, there's going to be a social, because we like to party around here.
07:32I want to challenge you, because this is what this is about.
07:35When you meet somebody, when you're in a social circle, the whisper in the back of your head
07:39is saying, this person has the potential to hurt me.
07:42Can we change that whisper to, I want to get to know this person?
07:46What are they passionate about?
07:48Does that make sense?
07:49I feel like that's given me a lot to work with.
07:52Right.
07:53And then, hopefully, you would have connected with a couple that might join you this evening.
08:00No pressure.
08:01Okay.
08:03Thank you for sharing.
08:05Oh, wow.
08:10Oh, wow.
08:11Oh, my goodness.
08:13Oh, my goodness.
08:14Oh, my goodness.
08:15Oh, that's so pretty.
08:17Jamie has deep shyness and mistrust, and I am worried that that might get in the way of
08:22him making the connections.
08:24I'm hoping that he won't shut down.
08:26I thought you said they don't get emotional.
08:28You know me.
08:29I don't get emotional in front of people.
08:32Apart from you, who gets the absolute brunt of it.
08:35I do feel that because I was the one that sort of instigated the conversation about opening
08:42up with Jamie, I feel like I'm the more eager of the two.
08:47And I think I'm a little bit worried that Jamie's sort of confidence or insecurities,
08:55if you will, will sort of hold me back.
08:58I think the biggest hurdle for us will be...
09:02Me trusting people.
09:04..try not to analyse into how you're feeling too much.
09:09Obviously, I'm going to try and do that.
09:10Yeah.
09:11But this is a lifelong habit.
09:13I don't think it's going to come that easily.
09:14No.
09:15I don't think anything worth having comes easy.
09:21Previously on Open House...
09:24It's two guys!
09:25Woo!
09:26Back in the look.
09:28I have identified as gay since I came out when I was 18.
09:33Today, I don't know.
09:35Woo!
09:36I'm interested in being with a woman sexually.
09:40The worst case scenario would be reacting in a way which I'm not expecting.
09:44You've not explored a female body.
09:47Hmm.
09:48Do you know what you're doing?
09:49I do not know what I'm doing.
09:51No, no, no.
09:52We don't know what we're doing.
09:53Maybe go and have a chat with Naomi and Jen.
09:57I'm Jen.
09:58Yeah.
09:59Let's fucking do it.
10:00Ooh.
10:01Here comes some of the girls.
10:03This is definitely a very big moment in our relationship because this is a doorway towards something which could be like a huge change for us.
10:12Engaged couple, Kris and Simon, are at the retreat to discover if they have any attraction to women.
10:26Aw, you guys are so fun.
10:28To help find the answers, they have invited residents Jen and Naomi to the hot tub.
10:33me to the hot tub I just like didn't stop laughing with you we just had like
10:38such a fun like interaction my biggest turn on is someone playing with my feet
10:51I think I'd been in the hot tub for approximately 30 seconds before there was Simon sucked my toe
11:12I love that though I think that's amazing love it love a football I am very attracted to both of
11:20you girls and I would be definitely up for at least having a kiss I'm down for that so yeah
11:27so would you like a kiss
11:29seeing Simon kiss a woman in front of me was jaw-dropping he really went in for it
11:46Simon matched my kissing like straight away and that's rare like if someone can do that
11:53that was a great kiss I enjoyed that are you ready for a kiss
12:21I don't know I think I might be more attracted to Naomi okay
12:36um the tea Jennifer no problem
12:38come on get this I'm so ready for this I'm gonna just watch
12:45seeing Chris kiss Naomi was very hot absolutely loved it
12:56oh yeah I don't know what you said just asking if he's nice nice nice nice I thought he said
13:09that's something now and I was like what
13:11how are you feeling how are you feeling it's way popular bedtime
13:25right um I think probably gonna call it a night
13:31um just take your time to like go through because this is a huge thing for you guys to do
13:36I thought Simon seemed really keen and playful but I think maybe there was a difference of where
13:43they wanted it to go
13:47I feel like ending the night where we did was probably the right call
13:51because I wanted to progress but the fact that Chris rejected Jen did make me feel as though the night
14:02itself wasn't going to probably progress any further
14:06are you okay yeah good
14:10I'm going to the detail tomorrow but I don't want to talk to you about it
14:14yeah
14:32how did you sleep I woke up a few times engaged couple Chris and Simon have woken up to their
14:38second day at the retreat my brain was like so much had happened yesterday as people were not
14:44still thinking about everything
14:49you think maybe Chris was a little more reserved he was a bit more nervous yeah I think if Simon was
14:57on his own with us he would have taken it further last night yeah no I completely agree yeah
15:03how do you think they feel today hopefully they're both on the same page because it'd be really
15:07awkward if they weren't yeah
15:11you look ready for a round of golf
15:15ready for a hole or two
15:16I'm feeling mixed emotions about last night Chris didn't feel comfortable kissing Jen that was a
15:30bit like okay how are we going to navigate this they're moving forward how are we feeling
15:34um
15:38a bit deflated yeah what happened last night with the girls was really fun really exciting really
15:46enjoyed it but while I've been saying that there are like no expectations I probably did have
15:50expectations to be honest it it felt like even though it was just a kiss like that still felt rushed for
15:57me yeah like I am a real slow burner given that we had
16:04like the social mixer and then we had the hot tub experience
16:09and you still feel like that was rushed yeah yeah I don't think pushing that any further I think
16:14would have been a mistake I'm conscious that we're both here to do things together
16:18but maybe would need to go about it in slightly different ways
16:24I guess that's part of the whole thing with exploring non-monogamy is you do always in the back
16:29of your mind think about your partner but I think it's really important to understand my sexuality
16:34better because it's an integral part of who I am
16:39on hand to help Chris and Simon process the night before welcome welcome is non-monogamy coach Effie Blue
16:48how are we feeling
16:51I'm feeling a little bit disappointed I think okay that's probably how I'd put it okay do you tell
16:58so yeah last night things got quite playful with Jen Naomi and I started kissing okay which was really
17:09good fun really enjoyed it I was like ready to go oh yeah like this is let's take this further to the next step
17:16what was it like for you Chris so I only had a kiss with Naomi okay I was expecting there to be like
17:21a like a spark or something like that and I didn't particularly feel that okay what do you think got in
17:29the way for you I don't think I've ever met anyone and on the same night kissed them okay tell me about
17:37the disappointment and the deflation the hope was that I was going to come into this and leave feeling
17:44as though I did have that spark and arousal towards women and I feel like the experience that I had last
17:50night didn't prove that okay okay I understand that um do you think Chris being there had any impact on
17:57your experience at all I think I have found myself a bit worried about you not worried about you really
18:05that I have had a bit of like in the back of my head like is he okay are you doing okay
18:11so is there anything that we need to talk about here
18:17I just like having Simon around what sometimes happens is when the other person's been there for
18:21a while and you kind of both lean on each other we lose sight of our individual
18:25confidence and inner strength does that make sense absolutely okay beautiful I think I have
18:32a plan how to explore so would you be willing to have two separate experiences today
18:43yes okay we can certainly give it a try give it a try yeah I am feeling nervous about having to go
18:50into another social situation you'll be fine there were definitely points last night where I think
18:55because looking for Chris so while I love you it will be quite nice to maybe not have Chris around
19:02tonight go forth and have fun because I really don't feel like I can progress in my sexual relationships
19:14as long as I am still unsure in exactly what it is that I am attracted to
19:21let's split this up
19:28I'm not sure whether to wear these together or these together
19:33those look very compatible does this look sexy though listen I don't know if speedos are very sexy
19:41right Chris and Simon are getting ready for their separate socials there's always a risk that exploring
19:48non-monogamy might jeopardize our relationship but I think it's important to know exactly who I am as a
19:56person so that's why I'm here and that's why I'm doing is because I feel like this is
19:59important for me to get more clarity on the question marks that I have in my head I think that's going to be fine good
20:14Simon will be attending an all-girls pool party with residents jen georgie holly and gracie
20:21in the bedroom i'm pretty much love anything like i'm happy to explore anything like i'm always like a
20:27don't knock it till you try it type person scream if you want to go to an orgy i love exploring i love
20:35trying new tricks a gay couple it's like every woman's dream though i'm not gonna lie yeah
20:44oh lord but up in the bedroom simon is starting to have some doubts
20:50i just feel pressure to take it to the bedroom and do something there's no there's no need to do
20:58that i'm anxious because i feel like i'm in the perfect scenario to explore oh hell
21:10and that's essentially why i'm here is to discover my sexuality
21:14so there is pressure with that obviously i don't know yeah i don't know i think i'm definitely in
21:22my head at the minute
21:22i think just being alone with women pushes me outside my comfort zone
21:47i just don't think i'd be able to relax and be me in that moment meanwhile chris is waiting to be
21:55collected for his afternoon social an all-girls pajama party with residents emily kirsty and mandy
22:04i'm feeling dreadfully nervous because i don't know who's going to be there but i do know that
22:09simon isn't going to be there like simon is sort of like a comfort blanket naomi who he kissed last
22:17night in the hot tub is picking him up hello do you want to come and try to party uh yeah let's let's
22:26do it oh yeah oh yeah don't be nervous it'll be so good there you go hello hello hello i feel so
22:37overdressed in my pink dressing going oh dashing just step into the room and see uh three other
22:43girls in there as well was uh quite intimidating you go into the pink room and take it straight
22:48i know what's your plan for me then ladies what's going on we wanted to pamper you please do you like
23:01having a bath a bath is that a step too far i don't know i might go in in my pants i don't know
23:10if i'm brave enough why don't we run above a bath and then if you want to dip your feet in you can
23:14yeah all right all right we'll do a bath bloody hell oh my god i think for me personally with him
23:23he's just a little bit too nervous for me you know what sometimes people can grow on me so you never
23:28know true down by the pool simon and the ladies are playing a game of truth or dare what do you want
23:41to do right now maybe all five of us stand up and all kiss each other at the same time
23:58my hands are wandering sorry guys
24:08jingled jaffrey come wet
24:11good your lips are so soft and like plump you're such a riot you're just
24:17slug i know i know i know you put right in there does anyone want to move this upstairs we can keep
24:26playing the game
24:30i think let's go for it and just yeah give it a go yeah let's go
24:44retreat newcomers charmaine and jamie are getting ready for tonight's under the sea themed social
24:51do you think that's okay like that yeah it's fine charmaine is hoping to meet a couple to open up
24:57their relationship with but jamie will have to overcome his confidence issues
25:03how are you feeling yeah i'm excited i'm a little bit apprehensive of the social part and how you're
25:12going to be how you're going to do right now for anxious you are pacing nervous extremely i'm hoping
25:22that we go into this evening together and that jamie will feel confident enough to sort of go off
25:27separately and i really hope that it brings him out of himself a little bit more i think it's going to
25:34do both of us the world of good but i think especially it's gonna do you good i'm a bit
25:41worried because i feel like my self-confidence can sort of hold charmaine back it puts a bit of a
25:47burden on her in our social situations you ready for this love you down at the social the residents
26:02are already turning up the heat this whole experience is obviously completely new to us
26:13alien to us and i think it's a very vulnerable situation to put yourself in
26:20this is a big step i don't feel like your relationship is ever going to be the same once
26:24you've opened up potentially that could damage our marriage
26:31of course i have worries about how it might affect me because it's not something you can undo
26:37once it's done it's done
26:43how are you feeling are you okay i'm like i've got butterflies i'm feeling a bit like giddy
26:57it's just excitement oh my goodness the green is gorgeous
27:02simon and the girls have moved the party up to the bedroom in the hope that it may lead to simon
27:07having his first sexual experience with a woman how do you feel about making the lighting a little
27:13bit more whatever you feel i have never had sex with a woman i don't know what i'm doing
27:24what's your buttons i think i tend to feel most comfortable probably like
27:28laying back and letting stuff happen can i request for you to like lie down then
27:37like
27:50Right now, I'm feeling terrified because I don't know what I'm doing.
28:08I know that I want to have fun, and I know that I want it to be a positive experience,
28:14but I am anxious.
28:20Oh, fuck.
28:29Just want a little drink of water?
28:31Yeah, just a minute.
28:33But things aren't going quite as planned.
28:36What I'm going to think, I'm just going to say, like, I'm conscious that I'm not hard.
28:42I should be a bit of stage fright.
28:44Part of it's also, like, there's a lot going on.
28:47I'm just, like, processing, like, everything at once, so I'm just like, this is something very new for me.
28:58When am I going to get my nails, sir?
29:00This is good nail polish. It's dry really quick.
29:02Just down the hall, Chris is fully immersed in his all-girl experience, but his cautious approach is hindering things from progressing to the physical.
29:12Best-case scenario would be to just, like, maybe have some fun in the bedroom.
29:18Are you going to get in your bubble bath?
29:19I'm going to have to pluck up the courage at some point.
29:21But, like, Simon's always been more sexually confident.
29:25When are my nails and my face mask? How about that? What do we do with that?
29:28Take it off?
29:28Oh, you look like a new man.
29:31Blimey.
29:32Right.
29:33Don't worry, we're going to be there to help you.
29:37Are you hanging up your clothes?
29:40No.
29:42It's a new shirt.
29:44Oh, how's that?
29:45These toys.
29:47Whoa.
29:48Is it nice?
29:49Oh, it's lovely.
29:50This is a lovely temperature.
29:51It felt nice being in the bath with Naomi.
29:53It was more intimate, certainly, than the hot tub.
29:56So, we are going to have an early night.
29:59Chris is definitely very cute, but just wasn't really giving me the energy.
30:07I know he's nervous, obviously, that's a given.
30:10We'll miss you.
30:11So, me and the girls thought it would be a nice idea to leave Naomi and Chris.
30:18I mean, I think there's definitely some sort of spark between them.
30:23It was nice having the other girls here, but I think, like, it's...
30:26I felt like I was, like, constantly looking around the room.
30:28Like, trying to make sure I'm, like, giving everyone equal attention.
30:31It's a lot to manage, yeah.
30:33I think Chris is a wonderful, wonderful man.
30:36And he's just someone that really intrigues me to get to know him a bit deeper.
30:40How are you finding this?
30:42Are you more relaxed now?
30:43You look very relaxed.
30:44I feel, I mean, I'm in a lovely bath with a lovely lady.
30:48Naomi's a really interesting person, and she's very attractive as well.
30:53Yeah, I'd like to kiss Naomi.
30:54It's just nice, like, having just one person to focus on.
30:59Is it?
30:59Yeah.
30:59That's good.
31:03Oh, God.
31:05Is there anything more particular in your life?
31:08Meanwhile, Simon and the girls' afternoon is progressing,
31:12despite his slight technical glitch.
31:14I think anything on my face would be great.
31:16Oh, my God.
31:17Having fun with a woman's vagina is very different to anything that I've experienced before.
31:27I don't exactly know what I'm doing, and that terrifies me.
31:33Oh, my God.
31:38I didn't really focus too much on, like, I was having issues with, like, getting an erection.
31:43I think I got a lot more pleasure out of making the other girls feel pleasure.
31:52Oh, my God.
31:53Fuck.
31:54I was actually very surprised that when Simon gave me oral, he was exceptional.
32:00Yes.
32:03He was exceptional.
32:04Yeah.
32:10Apparently, I can pleasure a woman.
32:11Jen gave me all of the signs that I definitely made her feel a certain kind of way.
32:17Fuck, I just came to hold in your tongue.
32:20That's impressive.
32:22Wow.
32:23I was having so much fun, and the connection was so good,
32:26so I hadn't thought about what Chris might be up to.
32:29You're so funny.
32:34Grab this.
32:35Yeah.
32:35Your rabbit's going to go up the hole.
32:38Yes, yes, yes.
32:39I love that.
32:40You're right.
32:41You've got it.
32:42I'm so proud of you.
32:44Yeah, it's a safe one.
32:45Handcuff knot.
32:46That's fantastic.
32:47That's your introduction to knots and bondage.
32:50I'm sure your old start-lead will be very good.
32:54My relationship with Chris is definitely somewhere between romantic and friendship.
32:58Because we shared a kiss, I think naturally it had more of that romantic element to it, despite
33:05not going there today.
33:07This has been wonderful.
33:08This has been so nice.
33:09I think I would have kissed Naomi, but I think what I've found is that I just do need a bit
33:13more time to do those sorts of things.
33:15I hope you have a lovely, lovely evening, and I'll see you at some other point.
33:18Thank you so much.
33:19All right.
33:19It's all right.
33:19It's all right.
33:19It's all right.
33:20It's all right.
33:20It's all right.
33:21Like, I don't feel like I made much more significant progress in my own story.
33:26He's not here.
33:33Once I came out to the room and found he wasn't there, I was thinking about where he may be.
33:39I feel jealous that he's probably doing something sexual, and I would like to be there to see
33:44it.
33:52Charmaine and Jamie have just arrived at their first social.
33:56in the hope that they will find a couple to join them in the bedroom.
34:00Hello.
34:01How are you doing?
34:04To kick-start their evening, they make a beeline for engaged couple Lily and Joe.
34:09How's it been settling in?
34:11I imagine it's been quite intense.
34:13It's been intense.
34:14Yeah.
34:14It's very good.
34:15Yeah, you both look great.
34:16Your dress as well is stunning.
34:18The velvet suit.
34:19I've got velvet trousers on.
34:21Oh, yeah.
34:22I'm feeling a little bit overdressed.
34:23Oh, no.
34:24It's super smart.
34:25It was very clear that they were nervous.
34:28The nerves really shone through.
34:31And what do you do for work?
34:32I'm just at home with the kids.
34:34We've got three boys.
34:36Oh, really?
34:37Handful.
34:38So what do you do for work, Jamie?
34:39I do scaffolding.
34:40I don't know if it's better to tell you.
34:41No way.
34:42I also scaffold.
34:44Oh, really?
34:44Scaffolding in Cambridgeshire, yeah.
34:46Oh, okay.
34:46Are you enjoying it?
34:47Yeah, I love it.
34:48Give it to our news, you'll hurt it.
34:50Yeah, that's what everyone says.
34:52We're both scaffolders, so we're both in the same industry.
34:54So we definitely have some things in common, which is nice.
34:58It'd be good to spend some more time from, I think.
34:59Yeah, we'd definitely see them again if they wanted to see us.
35:02Enjoy the rest of your evening.
35:05How are you feeling?
35:06Yeah, I feel good.
35:09Do you feel ready to separate and speak to people, yeah?
35:14Yeah, I think so.
35:15Yeah, I think I'm more nervous than you now.
35:16Okay, love you.
35:17Yeah, I think I'm just going to jump in
35:22and allow myself to be surprised.
35:25Hiya.
35:26Good morning.
35:26I'm Jen.
35:27Hiya, I'm Shah.
35:28Nice to meet you.
35:29Shah?
35:29Shah?
35:30Yeah, Shah main.
35:30Shah?
35:31Oh, okay, Shah.
35:32How are you feeling?
35:34I'm nervous.
35:35I think for both of us,
35:36it's a big thing to sort of separate from each other.
35:39I think we sort of lean on each other quite a lot for confidence.
35:42It's, yeah, going to be a bit of a challenge for us.
35:45Yeah.
35:45Hi.
35:47I'm Jamie.
35:48How are you feeling, my darling?
35:49I'm good.
35:49We're not as scary as we look, I promise.
35:51I'm loving this velvet jacket, by the way.
35:53It's fabulous.
35:54It's a bit of an in-spoi pic thing.
35:56It's like, I'll order that.
35:57Yeah?
35:57Yeah.
35:58Jamie's nerves didn't necessarily put me off, to be honest.
36:02It's going to be a nerve-wracking situation
36:03for anybody to walk into,
36:05so I can completely understand that.
36:06Your partner looks absolutely beautiful tonight.
36:09I love the fact that you're matching in green.
36:11Yeah.
36:11It just looks really good.
36:14Monsieur, s'il vous plaît.
36:15I've definitely got a jealous streak to me,
36:23seeing Jamie flirting with somebody else.
36:26It's not something I've ever seen before.
36:29Personally, I think if it wasn't for Jen,
36:32I would be lost in the social aspect.
36:34I'm the mouth.
36:35I think Jamie says the exact same.
36:37Are you the mouth?
36:38Yeah.
36:38You can think that now.
36:39I'd just like to finish your sentences.
36:41What can I say?
36:42She's too impatient.
36:43I am impatient.
36:44I'll start saying something, she'll be like...
36:46I think I can put on a confident act,
36:52but deep down I'm quite nervous in a social situation.
36:57Right now I'm feeling quite apprehensive.
37:01Also very aware of how Jamie might be feeling.
37:05It's lovely to speak to you.
37:06I'm going to go and see how Jamie's doing.
37:10Speak to you soon.
37:12So we've been trying to open up for about five years now.
37:16Okay.
37:17It's probably my confidence has held us back.
37:19Yeah.
37:20You seem pretty confident.
37:21Yeah, I was going to say.
37:23I think I needed to hear that.
37:24You're holding your own?
37:25Yeah, you're doing fine.
37:27You okay?
37:27Hiya.
37:28Jamie, do you want to go for it?
37:35I want to step out.
37:36Sorry?
37:37I say I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
37:39It's like a little broke.
37:40There's a situation here.
37:42I just feel overwhelmed.
37:51It's just a bit much for me, like, the whole situation.
37:55We're not obligated to anything.
37:56This is our journey.
37:57I'm just uncomfortable.
38:01Where do we go from here?
38:02I don't know.
38:05Decision's yours from now.
38:06I don't know if I'm going to be able to hold myself together now.
38:10I really don't want to do it.
38:12I just want to go home.
38:12After having very different sexual experiences, Simon is waiting for Chris in the cocktail bar.
38:30I'm feeling a little bit apprehensive about telling Chris about what's happened because I didn't expect it to go this far.
38:37And it's such a big step in our relationship, opening up with women as well.
38:45Let's do it.
38:51There he is.
38:54As soon as he walked in, I was like, we've had very different days.
38:57You okay?
38:58You look so cute.
38:59Oh, it's really good to see you.
39:05You okay?
39:06Yeah, good.
39:09You've been gone for so long.
39:10He went before me.
39:11What have you been doing?
39:13So, go on.
39:15I went down to the red room.
39:18It was really hot.
39:19I was very much just, like, enjoying myself.
39:23Jen was like, do you want to eat my pussy?
39:26Wow.
39:27Just right out there.
39:28It was getting you going?
39:29Well, so this is the thing is, I don't know if it was because of, like, a bit of stage fright.
39:35Yeah.
39:36But I didn't get hard and I didn't come.
39:38But, like, in the moment I was like, I loved that.
39:41Like, you can feel you enjoy that up here.
39:43It doesn't matter how you feel down there.
39:44That.
39:45Yeah.
39:46The exploration is why I came here and, like, the sexual exploration I had today is exactly what I was looking for.
39:53I just don't care that I struggled with getting an erection.
39:57So, how are you feeling?
39:58I am jealous that I wasn't there to see it.
40:02The way I frame the jealous, like, a part of me wants to have been there to, like, to have seen it happen.
40:08It's like missing a big event.
40:11That's the only sort of jealousy I feel.
40:13Are you doing okay?
40:13Yeah.
40:15You've overcome some pretty big, like, steps today.
40:19Yeah.
40:19So, nice to, like, hear you gushing about it and...
40:24Oh, that's disgusting.
40:26It would have been nice for me to be able to have my own sexual experience, but I know that I'm not the type of person who would have been able to do what Simon did.
40:36So, how on earth are you?
40:40So, I've had a little pamper day.
40:42You had a little pamper day.
40:43So, they gave me a face mask.
40:46Your skin is glowing.
40:47I am.
40:48I'm radiant.
40:48You are.
40:49And then I hopped in the bath.
40:51Oh.
40:51And then Naomi jumped in the bath with me as well.
40:55And that was basically it.
40:56Nothing really progressed from there.
40:58I'm just obviously happy that, like, at the end of the day, still you and me.
41:03Yeah.
41:04Shall we go to the room?
41:05Come on, let's do it.
41:09I feel fantastic after telling Chris about my day because it just reaffirms everything that I already feel fantastic about in my relationship with Chris.
41:17Oh.
41:19Well, well.
41:19We have amazing communication, we're super honest with each other, and that's the foundation of our relationship, and it will always be that way.
41:27Do you think you feel, like, more sure in your mind about how you feel about women?
41:31I feel more sure.
41:33Mm-hmm.
41:33I feel absolutely sure that I can have sexual experiences with women and for it to be fun and pleasurable and enjoyable.
41:42Excellent.
41:43I feel absolutely great.
41:45Yeah.
41:45Yeah.
41:48I would love to come.
41:49I just don't want to do it.
42:08Charmaine may have been the one who wanted to open up, but now she's struggling, leaving husband Jamie unsure of what to do next.
42:17What are you going to do?
42:18I don't want to do it.
42:21I feel uncomfortable.
42:22I just feel awkward looking back in now.
42:24It's fine.
42:27I'll support an incident, you know.
42:28I think that was a lot harder than I sort of anticipated.
42:39Yeah, I think I just got a little bit overwhelmed.
42:41I noticed that Char and Jamie had gone outside and they were gone for quite a while, so I popped out to check out who were.
42:48I'm going to cry again.
42:49Don't cry, don't cry.
42:50Sorry.
42:50Deep breaths.
42:51You're doing great.
42:52You're doing great.
42:53Everyone thinks you're amazing.
42:54Deep breaths.
42:56Oh, it's just overwhelming.
43:00You're okay now?
43:01Yeah.
43:01We would love to chat to you, though, so if you feel like you can come back in, just remember why you came here and what you wanted to achieve out of tonight.
43:09I think we will come back here. I just need to get myself together.
43:12Yeah?
43:12Jen came out and sort of had a word with us and reassured us, and, yeah, I think that was a big help for me to sort of snap out of it a little bit and get out of my head.
43:23Shall we go with him?
43:23Yeah.
43:24Come on, then.
43:25Come with me.
43:27Oh, my God, it's so warm in here now.
43:29Lovely.
43:30This is Jen's don't tell you.
43:32This is Jamie.
43:33How are you doing?
43:33This is my partner, Mark.
43:34Yeah.
43:35Well, thank you for putting us at ease a little bit.
43:38Oh, God, I'm glad you feel a little more at ease now.
43:40I think at one point I was ready to do a run-out.
43:43Yeah.
43:43But I feel like you're here for a reason.
43:45You're here for a reason.
43:46I would have been disappointed if we were...
43:47Yeah, you'd regret it, for sure.
43:51I don't know if there is any vibes from them because I'm not feeling it.
43:56I'm not feeling them being flirty with me, but I think they're gorgeous.
43:59And you're both hot as fuck as well.
44:01Like, you have nothing to be, like, conscious about.
44:04Own it.
44:06What do you like to talk about, then?
44:08Is there anything you're really passionate about?
44:10It's like they're with our books.
44:11So, like, that's how boring we feel.
44:12Oh, I love that you both read.
44:14That's why...
44:15I'm a married couple.
44:16Are you not like me, though?
44:18When I'm reading, like, a spicy book, I text him and I'm like,
44:20listen, you're going to have to go because...
44:22I am suffering it.
44:24Yeah, I'm like, you need to re-enact the scene right now.
44:26Yes!
44:27Oh, my God, that is super hard.
44:29I think the vibe we got of them was very chilled out and relaxed,
44:33and I think that's what we need this evening.
44:36Yeah, hopefully we've read that right.
44:38We really appreciate your appearance at ease.
44:39Oh.
44:40And I was wondering if you'd like to spend a bit more time in the hot tub.
44:42No pressure whatsoever.
44:45Would you like to spend some time in the hot tub?
44:47I definitely would, yeah.
44:47Would you?
44:48I would like to spend some time in the hot tub.
44:50We both definitely fancy Jamie and Charmaine, yeah.
44:53I don't think they realise they're a hot couple.
44:56Let's go get in the hot tub and get these bloody heels off, shall we?
44:58Let's go.
45:01I think Jamie and Charmaine might be potentially the most nervous couple
45:08we've connected with in this way.
45:10I want them to have a really good experience,
45:12but I wish they weren't so nervous.
45:14Yeah.
45:26Next time on Open House...
45:29My main concern is,
45:30is it something that should have stayed a fantasy?
45:33What are you feeling this evening, then?
45:34Do we want to...
45:36How are your feelings?
45:38What, tonight?
45:39Yeah.
45:39You're the boss.
45:40No pressure.
45:42I don't feel like your relationship is ever going to be the same
45:45once you've opened up.
45:47So we're coming in to have sex separately from each other.
45:51I'm scared.
45:52I'm interested.
45:53I'm definitely interested.
45:54Yeah, I'm interested, yeah.
45:54See you soon.
45:56If it goes wrong, it might put us off forever.
45:59Yeah, it's just a bit scary what might happen.
