Open house the great sex experiment ch4 anyone watching?

[Itsmyturn2222]

Anyone watching it?
What do you make of it? Could you do it?
I am finding it really interesting the outcomes of the couples who tried threesomes, its opened my eyes to the different emotions and situations involved in having one (this has been a fantasy of mine) it seems very complicated and rarely a positive outcome for everyone involved in reality

I'm just sick of all these programmes only choosing extremely young (some are only 19) people, all of whom look like Love Island contestants. It would be much more interesting if they had your averaged, middle aged Jo Bloggs !

There was the couple in their mid 30s who has affairs that were interesting.
I know what you mean though more variety would be good of your average couple.

I think it’s really irresponsible broadcasting. I worry about the capacity of a 19yo to see beyond the weekend and the ramifications in the future.

The subject could be tackled without it being to appear staged.(too many very young people with little experience of being in a long term relationship). Some clearly not at a stage in the relationship of being ready to even contemplate inviting others into the sexual side of their relationship. My wife wasn’t bothered about watching it, caught part of it while I was watching it, now she finds it interesting and has provoked us into discussing how like a lot of things in life, it’s right for some and definitely not for others. Depends on a lot of factors. The lady expert is a good aspect of the program, in my opinion.

I watched some of one episode. A couple brought in another woman but she was more interested in the other woman leaving the man feeling like a spare prick at a wedding. It certainly wouldn't be for me watching another bloke go through my partner. I don't get it but each to their own.

I agree that the fact they are all very gorgeous and it's a bit glam is annoying.

I think it is really interesting though - it really does show how important communication is, trust, and how the reality may not measure up to the fantasy.

These programmes are good though for taking some of the shame and stigma away from open relationships. Monogamy isn't for everyone, but many take a dim view of this, often as its misused or one sided.

I really recognise a man on this! Was he in something else? He wasn't a major part but he ended up snogging the blonde lady who came in with her husband but they went on separate events and then made a joke about having an erection. Anyone else recognise him? Was he in Love Island or something?

That was worded terribly, I hope some of it made sense...

I think he was on the Apprentice!

Is that the show with the bloke dressed as a zebra?

That's it!!

Never seems to end well, there’s always one of them not as keen. Sometimes who is into it more changes as it goes on.

what seems sad is most of them have only been together 5 minutes and they need to ‘spice things up’. They’re never going to last if they need that level of variety already.

I think it’s quite often too cool for school to be ‘open’ to others in the relationship and in reality the expected emotions kick in.

My ex was on it. So weird to watch.

My wife and I thought the same. So many couples seem to be wanting this is early in their relationships. I suppose it’s the “I want it and I want it now!” generation.

But isn't the point that they are rejecting the concept of monogamy from the outset. Although obviously there were cases on the show of people looking to open up as a way to improve their sex lives, the younger couples and the singles see this as their normal.

I think it's really interesting though, to see how this evolves. Perhaps traditional monogamy isn't working for a larger percentage of the population than we care to admit, and maybe we'll see more of this in time and it'll be less taboo. And that's okay for those people who like it and those who prefer monogamy, they are happy and not threatened by this.
