00:00Heading to the retreat, our married couple, hairdresser Tanya and window cleaner Ashley from Leeds.
00:16I hope people come and talk to us and we're not just kind of left in a corner.
00:22Yeah, me too.
00:23When we first met each other, it was just literally in the street, outside.
00:29He had a puppy. You know, I'm an animal lover and I'm like, wow, perfect package, puppy and a man.
00:34And since that day, we just knew that we were meant to be together and then I moved in a couple of days later.
00:41And then found out puppy was never his. He tricked me.
00:46So luckily he's got his good looks and charisma of ours, yeah.
00:53So within 18 months, we'd met each other, moved in, got married, had a child, done all those things really fast.
01:01But a whirlwind romance of marriage and children wasn't enough for Tanya. She wanted more.
01:08Tanya brought up the idea of having an open relationship and letting other women join us, which was a bit of a shock at first.
01:15I didn't know if it was like a trap to see what I would say, but it wasn't a trap.
01:20Tanya and Ashley have been having sex with other people for five years.
01:26I think everyone always presumes that it's the male that wants to push it on the partner.
01:29But no, it was all me, much to the shock of my mum.
01:32She was like, oh, I bet it was Ashley. I was like, no, it was all me.
01:35All their sexual experiences with other people have been governed by one strict rule.
01:44We do everything together. We're always together. We've only ever played in the same room together.
01:49It's a nice honour, isn't it?
01:52But now they're coming to the retreat to push their boundaries even further.
01:59So we're coming in to venture off our own separate ways to have sex separately from each other.
02:06I'm hoping it will only strengthen further the bond that we already have.
02:11I'm hoping it goes that way.
02:14I'm more nervous with this than I've ever been with starting it from the beginning.
02:19Because we're both used to relying on each other.
02:23Playing separately is a huge risk because it could go wrong.
02:26And what if I do this? And then Ashley becomes jealous or he decides it's not for him.
02:31Oh, cute dress.
02:37Hey, mate. You okay?
02:39Hi, guys. Nice to meet you.
02:41Hi.
02:44Are you feeling okay?
02:45Good.
02:46Hi.
02:47Hello.
02:48We're both sides.
02:49Tanya definitely seems maybe a little bit more confident.
02:51There's definitely potential to play. I do like a blonde.
02:55What's your name?
02:56Ash.
02:57Ash, nice to meet you.
02:58Hi, Tanya.
02:59I thought you were probably going to get personal.
03:01I think I said it's more nerves from him than her.
03:04He looks quite innocent.
03:06She looks quite feisty.
03:08Hi.
03:09Hi.
03:10Nice to meet you.
03:11Hi.
03:12Hi.
03:13My first impression was more her come to my eyes.
03:16And she looks chic.
03:18But yeah, maybe I will discover something nice with him too.
03:22I think I'm the more anxious one in social situations.
03:25Whereas Tanya is a bit more relaxed.
03:28Emily.
03:29Emily.
03:30What's your name?
03:31Ash.
03:32Sorry.
03:33Ash.
03:34Ash.
03:35You too.
03:36The guy, I know he's nervous obviously.
03:37That's a given.
03:38Just wasn't really giving me the energy.
03:41All of the residents are gorgeous.
03:42The women are all beautiful.
03:44The guys obviously all look after themselves.
03:46So, yeah.
03:47Bit nervous now that we've actually met them.
03:50Yeah, my heart's resting a little bit.
03:53The decor is beautiful.
03:55Wow.
03:56Wow.
03:57To help the couple navigate their desire to have separate sexual experiences.
04:01Hi, I'm Effie.
04:02Come in.
04:03Non-monogamy coach Effie Blue.
04:05Make yourselves comfortable and so far.
04:07What?
04:08Will offer her insight.
04:13I'd love to start with what brings you here today.
04:16So, we're already in the lifestyle.
04:18But we would like to open it up a bit further and play separately.
04:21So, we're not in the same room as each other.
04:24So, we're going off completely separate.
04:26Okay.
04:27Okay.
04:28And whose idea was it to explore this world?
04:31I think it was Tanya's.
04:33Okay.
04:34Okay.
04:35So, tell me about this desire to separate.
04:37It's major.
04:38We've been talking about this for well over a year.
04:39So, it's been like a long time that we've sort of discussed and been like,
04:42Oh, what about this?
04:43Going for all scenarios and discussing it, but never actually.
04:47Mm-hmm.
04:48We're just not sure about how to do it properly.
04:50Okay.
04:51Without upsetting the other person.
04:52And I'm worried that she would meet with somebody and then he's disrespectful or...
04:56Okay.
04:57I can't, there's nothing I can do to stop it.
05:00So, why is it such a big deal for you to actually separate?
05:05We do spend a lot of time together.
05:07Ash is very, very affectionate.
05:10He's quite a clingy person.
05:12He does need to be touched, stroked and needs to be sat next to me all the time.
05:17When I'm at work, I have my earphones in and we just speak all the time.
05:21So, even when we're not together, we're still pretty much on the phone together
05:24to sort of be around each other even when we're not.
05:26I do have a job, you know.
05:27I do have to work too.
05:28I have to remind him because he just wants to talk to me all the time.
05:31The thought of doing something else is quite a big thrill as well.
05:34There's like that element of excitement.
05:36Yeah, we really want to give it a go.
05:38Okay.
05:39Okay.
05:40What about if you get rejected?
05:42I hope that don't happen.
05:44Tell me about that.
05:45I would never get rejected when I go out because it's Tani that does the talking.
05:48I like a shield.
05:49A beautiful shield.
05:50Okay.
05:51I say you go over and I'll be over in five minutes.
05:53So, this is going to be a first for you?
05:55Yeah.
05:56I just don't know how to say to somebody, do you want to go?
06:01Okay.
06:02Yeah.
06:03It feels like there's a big challenge here, right?
06:07So, it's beyond just the separating and doing your own thing, but there's a lot of relational dynamics that you're kind of stirring up.
06:14Yeah.
06:15Right?
06:16Like, Ash, there's a protective aspect of you over Tania and you've never actually connected anybody, like, first off for yourself.
06:25No.
06:26I really want Ash to go and talk to people and kind of overcome that confidence barrier.
06:31The whole experience here is to challenge you, right?
06:34There's a party tonight.
06:36So, separate.
06:39Socialize and see if you can connect with somebody, right?
06:44Experience what you want to experience and get back together at the end of the evening and debrief and see what it feels like.
06:51Go out there.
06:52Have a great time.
06:54Take care.
06:58Yes.
06:59Oh, my God.
07:01Oh, my God.
07:02Look how pretty it is.
07:03No.
07:04It's got the bath that you like.
07:06Oh, wow.
07:08I think if I do pull someone and he doesn't, I think I will feel really guilty.
07:13I don't know where you're sleeping.
07:15This is mine.
07:16Are you sleeping in the bathroom, then?
07:19I think it's going to be a bit hard just letting her do her own thing, but I hope that tonight that I won't be thinking, oh, I wonder if she's with someone I don't like.
07:26I think that you're in some situations, I don't know.
07:33Hello.
07:34Welcome.
07:35Already staying at the retreat, our married couple, Charmaine and Jamie.
07:41Neither of us have been with like lots of previous sexual partners, so we want to explore that together.
07:48I feel like the social aspect of it will be the biggest barrier.
07:52I'm a bit worried because I feel like my self-confidence can sort of hold Charmaine back.
08:01Hi.
08:02How are you feeling?
08:05I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
08:07This whole experience is obviously completely alien to us.
08:10It's just a bit much for me.
08:12I just don't want to go back in.
08:14I just wish they weren't so nervous.
08:15Yeah.
08:16I'm glad you feel a little more of this now.
08:17I was wondering if you'd like to spend a little more time in the hot tub.
08:18I definitely would, yeah.
08:19Would you?
08:20I would like to spend a little more time in the hot tub.
08:21Thanks.
08:22Ready?
08:23Yeah.
08:24After nearly walking out of this evening's social, Charmaine and Jamie are hoping that a date in the hot tub with Jen and Mark will be more successful.
08:45The idea of opening up, it just seemed like the right sort of thing for us.
08:49But my main concern is that will we enjoy the reality of it?
08:53Or is it something that should have stayed a fantasy?
08:58I'm curious about having sex with other people.
09:01But I have worries that I hope it might affect me and Charmaine.
09:08Woo!
09:09It's a bit of a dip.
09:10I felt like I was going to sink in the sack.
09:13So I was a little surprised when they asked us to go hang in the hot tub with them.
09:18The way we're going to approach this is we should be affectionate with each other and show them that it is okay.
09:25And see if that helps them relax a little more.
09:29See if it gets them in the mood.
09:32Oh!
09:33How we doing?
09:34You look cosy there.
09:35I know, yeah.
09:36He looks moulded into it, don't he?
09:38Right.
09:39Cheers, guys.
09:40Yeah, cheers.
09:41Cheers.
09:42Right, I'm going to give you a question now.
09:44I'm going to give you some spicy questions.
09:45See how you handle it.
09:47Let's spice it up.
09:48Let's spice it up.
09:49What's like your wildest fantasies?
09:52You can take loads of these.
09:54Next one's yours then.
09:56I like to be dominated.
09:58Oh yes.
09:59Bit of powerplay.
10:00Bit of powerplay.
10:01I think that's probably because I'm so bossy outside of the bedroom.
10:04Yeah.
10:05Yeah.
10:06So it's kind of nice to let that go a little bit in the bedroom.
10:09Sorry, I was playing footsie with you.
10:14I'm not really sure how it's going.
10:16We're just trying to gauge where they're at.
10:18Yeah.
10:19What are you feeling this evening then?
10:21Do we want to...
10:22Are we happy how things are?
10:24Chatting?
10:25Do we want to...
10:31I know that's a really hard session.
10:32It's a hard session.
10:33Yeah, I don't know.
10:34Sorry.
10:38I'm feeling anxious.
10:39Slightly vulnerable.
10:40But I tend to sort of like hide behind trauma.
10:43How are your feelings for what's mine?
10:46Yeah.
10:47Be the boss.
10:49Yeah, I know.
10:50No pressure.
10:54I think deep down the worry is there.
10:56That obviously doing this is a big step.
10:58Like I don't feel like your relationship is ever going to be the same once you've opened up.
11:03Yeah, I don't know.
11:04I don't know how I'm feeling.
11:05I think I'm just very overwhelmed from the whole day.
11:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:08We couldn't work out whether they wanted to take it further or not.
11:13We certainly would have.
11:16Well, listen, we're around tomorrow.
11:18We're available.
11:22See you later.
11:26See ya.
11:31I feel like the longer we leave it, the more difficult it is to sort of, you know, take that leap.
11:37It's something that we want.
11:39But I think it took me by surprise this evening, like how I sort of reacted.
11:45That definitely held us back.
11:46We are the worst flares ever.
11:47Jamie.
11:48Yeah.
11:49If you don't give a flying fuck, goodness me.
11:52That's fine.
11:53I think that's what I find so intimidating.
11:57Yeah?
11:58If you don't give a flying fuck, goodness me.
12:12I think that's what I find so intimidating.
12:18Like, everybody's so sure of themselves and we're just, like, floating around.
12:23Yeah.
12:24Charmaine is hoping that opening up her relationship with Jamie will spice up their sex life.
12:33I'd love to get to a point where we can be that free.
12:37Is that the goal for you?
12:39Yeah.
12:40But first they have to get over the confidence barrier.
12:44Both Char and Jamie are definitely introverts.
12:49I think that makes it harder.
12:51What, opening up?
12:53Yeah.
12:54Like, in our situation, you're definitely an introvert.
12:57But I'm an extrovert, so that I help.
13:00Do you know what I mean?
13:02They don't have that.
13:03If it was two me's, nothing would ever happen.
13:06We were technically still dating when we decided to try our first swinger club or sex party.
13:14We had our first experience on the Friday night, which was the threesome.
13:17The following day, we had a married person orgy.
13:19And I think from there, we kind of realised that we really enjoy an orgy.
13:25Lots of people at the same time.
13:27I would have liked to have kissed them both.
13:29Would you?
13:30Yeah.
13:34Before Charmaine and Jamie attempt to mingle with the residents again, they check in with Effie for some advice.
13:41Sit down, get comfy.
13:44How did it go?
13:46I struggled interacting with people.
13:49Yeah.
13:50Which I didn't think I would struggle as much.
13:51But maybe I obviously rely on Jamie a lot more than I thought.
13:54You're able to maybe speak and connect more because you're doing for him a lot of the time.
13:59Yeah.
14:00And when you had to do it for yourself, it was a little bit more difficult.
14:03Yeah.
14:04Yeah, I think so.
14:05I think I'm worrying about what the end goal will be.
14:07So, like, how I'm going to take it from just a conversation to that step further.
14:13Uh-huh.
14:14Okay.
14:15Sliding from, like, social into sensual and potentially to sexual.
14:18Yeah.
14:19Is that what...
14:20Okay.
14:21I think that's what it is for both of us, to be honest.
14:22You decided on a couple that you're both connected with.
14:25Like, did you want to kiss them?
14:26Yeah.
14:27I can say confidently that, yeah, I did.
14:29What would it take for you to kiss them last night?
14:32Mm-hmm.
14:33For me to know that neither one of us are doing something that we're not sure about.
14:38Mm-hmm.
14:39Whether Charmaine's comfortable with this, that holds me back.
14:43Okay.
14:45And for you as well?
14:46Yeah, I think we're definitely in our heads a little bit with that.
14:50Mm-hmm.
14:51Okay.
14:52Okay.
14:53So, um, first of all, this is very normal.
14:57You don't know because you haven't done it before.
14:59Yeah.
15:00Until you take those steps, you're just not going to know how the other person feels.
15:03Because the other person doesn't know how they feel.
15:06Yeah.
15:07Does that make sense?
15:08That makes a lot of sense.
15:09Yeah.
15:10I want to move you guys from the social to the sensual to the sexual, if it makes sense.
15:17Yeah.
15:18Right?
15:19I want to start with the social.
15:20Hanging out by the swimming pool.
15:21Water is always fun.
15:23Connect with some couples.
15:25And then from there, you can...
15:27Can I kiss you?
15:28Does this feel good?
15:29Yeah.
15:30I feel like it'll be challenging, but...
15:31Will you ever move forward if you don't challenge yourself?
15:33Exactly.
15:34Obviously.
15:35All we can do is try.
15:36Got steps to move forward with now.
15:37Have fun.
15:39You're welcome.
15:42You've got to stop worrying about how I'm feeling because I will make it known if I'm not feeling a certain way.
15:53I feel like everything is put on me.
15:57Everything's...
15:58I'll do what Sha wants.
15:59I'll do what Sha wants.
16:00It's sort of my day follow, isn't it?
16:02It's sort of like blending.
16:03It's going to be...
16:04Yeah.
16:05Years of self conditioning that I'm going to have to break through.
16:08Yeah, no, I think so.
16:09It's crazy.
16:10Down on the terrace, the residents are kicking off a masquerade ball in anticipation of the new arrivals.
16:25Ooh la la!
16:26Married couple Tanya and Ashley from Leeds.
16:30Are you completely done?
16:31I've got 15 minutes to finish getting ready.
16:33Do my hair and finish my make-up.
16:35You need to calm down.
16:38It's only about two minutes to get ready.
16:39Awesome.
16:40How's it look?
16:41Not really good.
16:46Are you scared now?
16:47No, I just wish that I would have had like an extra 20 minutes to get ready.
16:52Erm...
16:56The couple are no strangers to non-monogamy, but tonight they're going to do something very different.
17:03I'm scared.
17:04You're all scared?
17:05Yeah.
17:06They will attempt to have separate sexual experiences, choosing their own partners without the other's approval.
17:13Trying something totally separate is overracking because we can't see what's the other person doing when the other person's not there.
17:19And I'm not there to make sure she's okay.
17:22Yes!
17:24As ready as I'm going to be.
17:28I'm really excited to meet the other residents, see whether we click, who we vibe with.
17:33Yeah, absolutely can't wait.
17:39Obviously there's always a worry about rejection, but I'm hoping that that doesn't actually happen.
17:43Oh, Tanya finds someone, she sort of goes off and I just sit in her room, clock watching, waiting to come back.
17:48It'll be pretty horrible.
17:50Yeah.
17:51Horrible.
18:12How are you going?
18:14Have fun.
18:15See you soon.
18:16And with the pep talk out of the way, Tanya and Ashley are flying solo for the first time.
18:22Shall we grab a seat?
18:23Sure.
18:24But Tanya's not alone for long.
18:28What would be your one thing that you would do? Maybe two?
18:31Yeah, just to make sure that there's a good amount of foreplay and a good amount of people, yeah, before you kind of have sex.
18:38So for me, I'd really like to be able to see someone's face, hear their breathing, kind of see what, if I'm doing something right.
18:43And then vice versa if they're obviously playing with me.
18:45Yeah.
18:46Sounds like we like similar things.
18:47Yeah.
18:48But there's a good amount of hours on the terrace, quick to spot Ashley's nerves, Rochelle comes to the rescue.
19:05I like your little dimples, very cute.
19:06I've only got one.
19:07Yeah, I know, I noticed.
19:08The one's hidden.
19:09What do you do for a living?
19:10Window cleaner.
19:10Oh, yeah, vision technician, I like that.
19:14I think I'm the funniest person in the world,
19:15and sometimes I'm not.
19:20He seemed a little bit shy,
19:21but I think once he's done a little bit more,
19:22he'll probably be a bit more confident.
19:24I bet you see all sorts, you see all sorts.
19:26I don't use the ladders, I've got, like, a pole system.
19:27Oh, yeah, of course, I do.
19:29But still.
19:29I'm hoping Ash has a good evening.
19:35Hopefully whoever he's picked
19:38just pulls him out of his shell a little bit.
19:40Windy.
19:44OK.
19:46Never have I ever had sex in a public place.
19:53I mean...
19:54Maybe I've had sex in a public place.
19:56Yeah, like, yeah, a lot of times we ended up
19:58with, like, a police marker on the car.
20:00We got caught.
20:03So it taps on the window, and I wound it down,
20:05and it's like, you all right?
20:06I'm like, yeah.
20:06And then I realised it was police,
20:08and they're like, are you having a good time?
20:09I went, well, I was.
20:10So...
20:12And they're like, you need to leave.
20:13I'm like, oh, OK.
20:15Everyone's really, really welcoming
20:16and really, really friendly.
20:17It's hot.
20:21How do I choose?
20:24What do you do for fun?
20:26What do I do?
20:27I'm a yoga teacher, and I'm vegan as well.
20:30Classic.
20:31Oh, really?
20:31I was vegan for about...
20:32Oh, really?
20:33...nine months, yeah.
20:34Oh, wow, OK.
20:35It didn't really work out for me, so...
20:36Well, at least you tried it.
20:38Shall I let you go, and you can, like,
20:40mingle with my lady?
20:41Yeah, sorry, yeah.
20:43Because I've never really done this before on my own,
20:44it's been very much more of a struggle.
20:47How are you?
20:47I'm good, a bit nervous.
20:50I'm Olivia, it's lovely to meet you.
20:52Is Tanya, like, your comfort blanket?
20:54Yep.
20:55Yeah.
20:56My husband, too, he's in there, and I'm like, where is he?
20:59I've been more nervous about coming out
21:01and just talking to people on my own.
21:03It's a social aspect, isn't it, is there?
21:05Yeah.
21:06Ash is so quiet and reserved and not confident about himself.
21:09I definitely feel like there's some nervousness around there,
21:12like, the first time that they're separating.
21:15I'd rather have sex with someone than have to talk to them.
21:18LAUGHTER
21:20Is that enough?
21:21The whole night has been, like, yeah, really nerve-wracking.
21:23It just feels awkward.
21:24What are you most nervous about?
21:27Erm...
21:29Possibly that Ash doesn't interact with everyone
21:32and doesn't end up asking someone, I think.
21:34I don't think he'd be out there on his own in a corner, will he?
21:36Surely not.
21:37I don't think these trousers are going to go.
21:51No, I will.
21:53Charmaine and Jamie are getting ready
21:55for their afternoon social at the pool.
21:57I just don't feel comfortable in this.
22:03I'm kind of running out of options at this point.
22:07I won't be in support if you're comfortable in.
22:09I'm not comfortable in anything.
22:10I'm not comfortable going down there.
22:12This is the issue.
22:17I'm just not comfortable in my body at the minute.
22:20And that's really a barrier for me.
22:23I get that.
22:24I really, like...
22:26I can't tell you.
22:26I don't want to go in the pool.
22:27I don't want to be in the pool.
22:28I feel like Charmaine might be questioning what we're doing,
22:37um, why we're here.
22:39Despite her wobble, Charmaine has decided to persevere
22:48with opening up their relationship.
22:52I think anybody that knows us would never imagine
22:55that we would do anything like this.
22:57How are you feeling about Jen and Mark today?
23:04I think Jen and Mark are a lovely couple.
23:06It would be nice to get to know them a bit more.
23:08My only fear is that we've sort of friend-zoned them
23:11because, you know, we didn't take that next step.
23:14So, obviously, it would be nice to see how they feel
23:16and what they want to do as well.
23:19How's your morning been? What have you been up to?
23:22I've just been very up and down, I'm going to be honest, hasn't it?
23:24I did? Oh, OK.
23:25Yeah, it's both a bit emotional today.
23:27You've struggled a lot with the social aspect of it
23:29more than anything.
23:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:32I sort of try and blend in and sort of hide in the corner.
23:34Probably not giving the right sit-ups, like, saying, yeah, I want to open up.
23:39I think, actually, your quietness
23:42and your sort of shine is actually really endearing.
23:45Oh, thank you.
23:46I know it is quite hard, like, trying to see
23:49to step things forward.
23:50What do you feel about, like, playing games and stuff like that?
23:52Yeah, no, I'm not opposed to it.
23:53I'll bring this all to me.
23:54Yeah? Give us a good spin.
23:56Hey!
23:58Jamie?
23:59I think you should snog Lily, my fiancée.
24:05It was my idea to open up our relationship
24:09and Jamie was sort of very apprehensive, but very quickly.
24:14Curiosity took over.
24:17Is that all right?
24:18Yeah, I'm looking at it.
24:19Yeah, I'm looking at it.
24:20I need to see this.
24:21I need a good view, guys.
24:35Yay!
24:36Yay!
24:37That was a good one, guys.
24:39I think that was the sort of icebreaker that we needed
24:42to sort of throw us in a little bit more.
24:44Me and Shabalai, this is...
24:45With Jamie taking the first step,
24:48the residents are keen to turn up the heat.
24:51Does anyone want to get in the pool?
24:52I'm ready to go.
24:53Let's get in.
24:54It's actually lovely and warm.
24:55I'm starting to feel a bit more confident and sure of myself.
25:05I feel good.
25:07All right, beach ball keep you up again.
25:13You snogged the last person that touched it before you.
25:16That's one of you two.
25:21Oh, man.
25:22Sickie, sickie, kitty.
25:23Oh, you're all right.
25:24Seeing Shabalai with another man, it's quite uncomfortable for me.
25:25But I do want us to share the same experiences.
25:26Just got rid of the robes and now we're excited.
25:27Incoming.
25:28Oh!
25:29Oh!
25:30Oh!
25:31Maybe I did on-
25:44Oh, okay.
25:48Why is it sexy when you're in pool?
25:49Kissing the other one was good.
25:52It was good to come away from that feeling good about myself.
25:55Jamie and Sharmaine are hissing gamers.
26:01Yeah she was a great kisser. I think at the end we had a little circle where it was kiss somebody that you hadn't kissed.
26:12I think that went better than I expected. I think Jamie and Char really opened up a little.
26:20Yeah they really came out of the shell a bit more today didn't they?
26:23They're both really good kisses.
26:24Yeah I mean I didn't kiss Jamie but she...
26:27She has beautiful lips.
26:29Char's a great kisser yeah.
26:31We had a great time in the pool. I'm proud that we managed to get past the many blips that we have had so far in the retreat.
26:42Yeah we thought we finally broke that barrier of touching. It was a really positive experience for us.
26:48Yeah.
26:49The couple have agreed to meet Jen and Mark in a more intimate setting later this evening as they look to build on their experience in the pool.
26:58We were both interested in a date. It was good to get a bit back and I think that's what we needed from them really.
27:03Yeah.
27:04Last night I made sure I reserved some of my energy back. Yeah.
27:08Yeah.
27:09We could maybe relax a little bit and just be ourselves a little more because yeah they've kind of softened now aren't they?
27:13At the Masquerade Social Tanya is going down well with the residents.
27:26Yeah.
27:27What would be the ideal scenario?
27:29Probably like everyone or just sit in the middle.
27:32So an orgy then.
27:35But Gage is keen to secure top spot.
27:39Hi.
27:40Hey.
27:41I bet it's been an absolute whirlwind from walking down when we first saw you.
27:44Yeah.
27:45And he's not the only one.
27:48Can I just try something?
27:49What would you like?
27:50I'm like your little moan.
28:02Now you know how to give a French kiss.
28:04Yeah that's my first French kiss.
28:06Awesome.
28:07Yeah.
28:08Yeah.
28:09Do you feel confident you kind of got your hand on somebody or?
28:13There's a few.
28:14Narrowed it down to like six.
28:16Six.
28:21Do you feel like confident that you can just go in and go I'm ready for this or do you need someone that's like done it before?
28:30I don't want someone who's not done this before.
28:32Yeah.
28:33Because obviously I do want some guidance.
28:34I feel like you're going to like my comfort blanket now.
28:39Is this you asking me back is it?
28:41Potentially.
28:42I'm interested.
28:43I'm definitely interested.
28:44Yeah I'm definitely interested.
28:45You're not going to reject.
28:46I'm not going to reject you no.
28:47Because if you do honestly I'll hunt you down.
28:48No no no.
28:53No but I am.
28:54I am interested yeah.
28:55Okay.
28:57When you make that initial attraction with somebody you can make the eye contact and you get the vibe and I feel like we both definitely have that.
29:12I think it was a good kiss as well so.
29:13I feel like I'm having the most successful night out of me and Ash but I've not spoke to him.
29:29You down for it?
29:30Yeah.
29:31Yeah me too.
29:32There we go.
29:33I don't want these to go gross.
29:34Just colour it.
29:35No no no.
29:36You colour it?
29:37No.
29:39Hi.
29:40Hello.
29:41Nice to meet you.
29:42Nice to meet you.
29:43Am I okay to borrow time?
29:44No absolutely yeah.
29:45Yes I'll see you soon.
29:47Any good time?
29:48Yeah.
29:49I was so nervous when I first came in but.
29:51Not as bad as me.
29:52Now I feel okay.
29:53I think I spoke to every single one here now but yeah it was pretty hard but.
29:57You clicked with anyone?
29:58No.
30:00I really struggle to narrow it down.
30:01I've narrowed it down now.
30:02Who?
30:03Gage.
30:04We clicked together so well.
30:06Okay.
30:07How do you feel?
30:08I feel a bit more nervous now knowing that you're going to be going off without me there.
30:14Bit scared.
30:16Not going to see you pretty much after this conversation.
30:18I felt just like a bit more thrown off that Tanya's gone and asked somebody first.
30:24Would you ask anybody?
30:25Have you had that discussion?
30:26No no.
30:27No?
30:28No.
30:29I believe that having found out that I have actually yes I've clicked and I've chosen someone
30:33I think that was maybe like a kick up the bum like oh I've actually got to ask a woman now.
30:39You need to do this by yourself.
30:41Right.
30:43A little part of me is thinking you know if Tanya enjoys this that might be what she wants to do more and more often.
30:47Yeah.
30:48But it might not be my thing.
30:50So that might throw our relationship a bit.
30:52Do you think?
30:53Yeah it's just a bit scary what might happen next.
31:04Should I put your heels on?
31:06I should shouldn't I?
31:08This evening Charmaine and Jamie have invited Jen and Mark for a second date.
31:13You have to get on the floor.
31:15Yeah.
31:16But after a few hurdles will the couple embrace the full opening up experience?
31:21I feel like we've already broken past quite a few mental barriers now and hopefully this evening we can break past a few more.
31:28Ready?
31:29I feel excited about this evening so I think it's a good way to sort of experiment going a little bit further.
31:41Perhaps, maybe.
31:43I'll have the margarita.
31:46Margarita?
31:47Yeah.
31:48Now you've got to re-rim the girl.
31:51Don't spill it.
31:57To help Charmaine and Jamie progress from social to sexual, the couple start up a game of truth or dare.
32:04Who wants to roll first?
32:05I quite like it.
32:06Yeah.
32:07Truth.
32:08Go on.
32:09Was you always okay?
32:10Introducing another guy?
32:11We only kind of got into this because I was interested in seeing Jen with another guy.
32:17It was never the other way around.
32:19Jamie, you're not necessarily turned on by the idea of me with another man.
32:24I thought you liked the idea of you enjoying yourself.
32:25Yeah.
32:26Yeah, that's what I'm like.
32:27It's still like that now.
32:29But also, like, how many times are you going to be watching?
32:33Notch.
32:34You're going to be busy.
32:35Yeah, you're going to be busy as well.
32:37Well, I mean, that's to start with, eventually.
32:40I'd like to give Charmaine that fantasy of, like, introducing other guys.
32:46You choose.
32:47You choose.
32:48Are you picking your own dare?
32:51Lick a neck.
32:53Lick a neck.
32:54Lick a neck.
32:55Lick a neck.
32:58Feelable for that naked.
33:01Goosebumps.
33:04Ooh.
33:05Okay.
33:06Guys.
33:07I've been so horny all day.
33:08This is a killing video.
33:15You choose.
33:16Okay, let's go dare.
33:17Okay.
33:18Kiss.
33:19Kiss what?
33:20Who?
33:21Char, I guess.
33:22Not me.
33:23I'm sure I might look like she was enjoying herself.
33:35That's the goal.
33:36If she's enjoying herself, then I'm okay with it.
33:38and I'm okay with it.
33:45It's nice.
33:48With the game nearing its end,
33:50there is one final question.
33:53Putting Charmaine and Jamie on the spot once and for all.
34:00Say what you want for tonight.
34:03That's a difficult one.
34:04That is tough, guys. That is tough.
34:06That is tough. We can shut our eyes if you want.
34:07No pressure. No pressure.
34:10Do you know what, though?
34:10We came into this evening with no real expectations.
34:13We've said that all along, haven't we?
34:15We just wanted to see how, obviously, things went.
34:17That's a really boring answer.
34:19But, yeah.
34:20What about you?
34:22Again, no expectations. I mean, I'm liking the vibe.
34:25Yeah?
34:26Yeah, I just...
34:28But what...
34:30Not talking expectations, what do you want to happen?
34:33Do you want to take a minute to check in with each other?
34:41Yeah.
34:41Take a minute.
34:43Again, faced with the ultimate question,
34:46can the pair take the leap and have sex with another couple?
34:50Obviously, I really like Jen and Mark.
34:53I will be somewhat disappointed if we don't.
34:56Yeah.
34:59But...
35:00I certainly...
35:02Charmaine and Jamie are considering whether or not
35:23to open up their relationship with Jen and Mark.
35:26How do you feel?
35:30I...
35:31will not get into it.
35:34I mean, you don't feel confident.
35:38I'll be a pro.
35:43Are you OK?
35:46Yeah, no, we've had a discussion.
35:49And, obviously, we both think that you are...
35:52We're both attracted to both of you, basically.
35:56I feel like it's my own confidence still holding me back.
36:00OK.
36:00Yeah.
36:02Yeah.
36:03Oh, OK.
36:03Oh, babes, you're gorgeous.
36:06I just wanted to make sure it was on the table if you wanted it.
36:09Yeah, no, of course.
36:09Because I know that's...
36:10It's helpful to know, isn't it?
36:12So.
36:13It is a lot.
36:16Shall we go to the room?
36:17Yeah, it was nice to meet you.
36:18Yeah, it was nice to meet you, guys.
36:20See you later.
36:21See you, guys.
36:22See you later.
36:23Bye.
36:23Bye.
36:26I don't know what's going on in Jamie and Char's head.
36:30They seem to want to take that next step.
36:33Just something's holding them back.
36:35And it's hard to say what it is.
36:38I don't think they're ready to open their relationship.
36:42No, not right now.
36:45I'd like them to be.
36:46But they're not, I don't think.
36:48I really can't do this.
37:03I think this whole experience has been an emotional roller coaster.
37:09However, I'm glad that we've done it because I think we've got a lot to take away from
37:18the retreat.
37:18Tanya has left tonight's social with her date for the evening, leaving husband Ashley to
37:39find his own partner for the night.
37:41I'm more nervous now without having Tanya there to sort of help me out.
37:45And whilst Gage tends to Tanya's needs, his wife Olivia is also left alone on the terrace.
37:54You all right?
37:54Yeah, I'm good.
37:55How are you?
37:56I'm good.
37:57It's got all really quiet.
37:58I know.
38:01This Prosecco's nice.
38:03Yeah.
38:03On the Prosecco or the Prosecco?
38:05No, it's the Prosecco, yeah.
38:07Which one do you want?
38:07Are you had yours?
38:08I've had mine, yeah.
38:09Okay, good.
38:12Yeah.
38:12I wonder if you wanted to go spend a bit more time together.
38:15Yeah, I would like to get to know you more.
38:19Yeah, that's good to hear.
38:20Yeah?
38:20Yeah.
38:21Do you want to sit down?
38:21Yeah, I'll sit down, yeah.
38:22Oh, God, I lost my shoe.
38:26What do you do for work?
38:27I'm with cabin crew.
38:28Oh, really?
38:29Fly around.
38:30Fly around.
38:31Oh, my God, my worst nightmare.
38:32Why is it your worst nightmare?
38:33I travel sick.
38:35Like, really bad.
38:37Taking my shoes off.
38:38Yeah, take your shoes off.
38:39Let's get comfortable.
38:40Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Tanya's all for reaching new heights.
38:45This is, like, immense.
38:47So I'm going to go and I'm going to sleep with someone and Ash is not going to be there.
38:51Now I'm going to do this on my own.
38:53It's crazy.
38:54Yeah.
38:55I'm hoping that everything goes OK with Ash and that this doesn't cause any issues in
39:08our relationship.
39:16What do you want to do now, then?
39:17Do you want to have chats?
39:20Do you want to...
39:21Do you want to have fun?
39:21We can go to the URT if the URT's available.
39:25Let's go.
39:29Olivia's really outgoing and confident, whereas I'm a bit more reserved and shy, so I don't
39:35know.
39:36See how it goes.
39:40Oh, it's nice.
39:43Oh, it looks so big.
39:49You awkward?
39:50Yep.
39:50It's our very first time being separate from each other, so I'm trying to put out my mind
39:56what Tanya's doing right now.
39:57Ash was still on my mind.
40:02Ash was still on my mind, but I was still able to kind of switch off and stay in the moment.
40:08Ash was still on my mind, but I was still able to kind of switch off and stay in the moment.
40:29Having sex with somebody else without my partner being there was intense, but it was exciting as well.
40:49Do you have pineapple pizza?
40:57No, no pineapple pizza.
40:59Do you have pineapple on your pizza?
41:01Pineapple and jalapeno.
41:02Do you?
41:03Yeah.
41:04Like the two opposites.
41:06What's the best pizza?
41:08Pineapple jalapeno.
41:09Try it.
41:10I don't like jalapenos.
41:12It's too spicy for me.
41:13The pineapple fixes it.
41:14Oh, okay, next time I'll try it.
41:18Just try it.
41:21Oh!
41:22Oh!
41:23Oh!
41:25Oh!
41:30Oh!
41:30Oh!
41:32Oh!
41:32It went really, really well.
41:38I would say tonight it was like losing my dignity, because it was so much so new, so much so different, the complete unknown.
41:47Are you good?
41:48Yeah, I'm great.
41:49It went well.
41:50I'm great, yeah.
41:55I think still in the back of my mind, I'm like, oh, Ash is doing under, it's okay.
41:59Yeah.
41:59But if I get back, it's like, oh, I'm just going to be confused, and he goes, oh, I'll change my mind, I'll get back.
42:08Right, shall we get this awkwardness out of the way, because this is making me cringey!
42:14Definitely think Tanya's going to be in my head.
42:16If it goes wrong, it might put us off forever.
42:19These buttons are really hard.
42:20Look at the tiniest buttons ever.
42:23But I often try to concentrate on myself.
42:26Just take it off.
42:29Have a stick.
42:30Have it.
42:30Ooh, okay.
42:37Better do it, I'm not.
42:49I'll see you later.
42:50Good time.
42:50Good luck.
42:53See you all.
42:53See you soon.
42:54Bye-bye.
42:54I feel pretty good, but my instant thought is, I want to find Ash.
42:58I want to find him.
42:59I want to speak to him.
43:03Playing solo, it's still very, very hard to kind of switch off from thinking about your partner
43:08and what's your partner doing it.
43:09Are they okay?
43:09There's always a possibility that maybe he is having a better time.
43:27Maybe he's enjoying it more with somebody else than what he is with me.
43:30Maybe he's going completely wild because I'm not there.
43:33Are you happy now?
43:44Yeah.
43:44Yeah.
43:45Did you enjoy yourself?
43:46Yeah.
43:46How's the nerves now?
43:48Yeah, it's felt good.
43:50Yeah, it's felt good.
43:51I felt like I was going to feel like I'm doing something wrong, but yeah, I'm not.
43:55Being solo has been really fun, exciting, something totally new.
44:00It was, like, just as exciting as I imagined it would be.
44:07I know if Ash was to not come back to me, that would be crossing a hard boundary.
44:13That's crossing over from sex to, like, lovey-dovey.
44:16Hello.
44:31Hello.
44:32All right?
44:33Did you have a good time then?
44:34Yeah.
44:35Did you have a good time?
44:36Yeah, I did.
44:37Oh, you're scared?
44:38At first, yeah.
44:39And then it was felt, like, really natural.
44:42Normal.
44:43When Ash came back with a big smile on his face, it was like, relief, he's had such a
44:47good time as well.
44:48So it just made me feel happy.
44:50I worried you were going to be mad when I got back?
44:52I had, why?
44:53Don't know.
44:54I was thinking worst case stuff.
44:56A nice guy?
44:57Yeah.
44:58Yeah, it was good.
44:59Kept checking in.
45:01Yeah, like, used, like, the tickle thing, like, interchanged it, like, the kissing and
45:05the touching and it was quite good.
45:07We've finally been able to separate and, you know, fulfill a fantasy that we've had
45:14for a long time.
45:16Breakfast.
45:17We don't have to rely on Tanya anymore.
45:20And we can be our own people and do our own thing.
45:25Guess what?

45:29Really?
45:29Yeah.
45:30Oh, no.
45:31I'm fine.
