Open house - the great sex experiment

[allthewoes]

I have no problem with people doing what they want with who they want, as long as it's consensual.

But for the love of god, why would you want to parade it on the telly, where your whole family/school parents/teachers could watch you taking part in a bloody orgy? Are people that desperate for five minutes of fame?

If the cameras weren’t there I doubt half of the stuff would happen.

Hahahaha at the couple being rejected by all the hot single women and being all shocked 😆 Obviously nobody should go into anything sexual that they don't want but the husband doesn't want to swing he wants another woman to make him feel like the big I Am. Single bisexual women on the scene aren't called unicorns for nothing and they get the absolute pick - a couple like that where the man is all about himself and the woman is just going along with it are hardly top choice for a woman who could be enjoying herself with any combination of people who will prioritise her enjoyment above their own...
couples do much better with other couples. Plenty of couples are straight swap only (no bi play) and if you're too insecure to have another man in the picture...swinging isn't for you!

I watch this show while feeling a pit of revulsion and a mix of complete fascination, probably because I am one of the few people who have never seen porn.

I can hardly get over the people crying about not being open enough to want to see their partner with someone else - as if they have a problem. No, that is a very normal reaction.

If I am going to get all deep with it - at least two of the women had been cheated on and it seemed that they were subconsciously trying to recreate the situation so that they could feel a sense of control, rather than the reasons they were giving.

To me, most of the participants look so damaged and vulnerable - I could not find that more sexually unappealing.

@Cherryana i think we’re on very similar pages!

@GeneJeanie 👍

I am with you all , I am watching it and wo during why I.am watching it. One person I saw I am pretty sure had some sort of attention seeking personality disorder, won't say who as it is not fair. As for the therapist, I just keep thinking that she is some creepy perv enjoying what they tell her, she has the same leather skirt on every week.

She is so weird and I think she gives the absolute worst advice.

I quite like her personality, but I get the feeling she's more about getting content for the programme than therapising the participants.

My husband and I watched the first series together and it opened a lot of conversations between us. About fantasies, jealousy, boundries, and about social norms/conditioning and ethical non monogomy. Found out we are both very much on the same page. But life got in the way and our sex life continued as it was (infrequent). We binge watched the second series, which reignited the conversations. Made our sex life go through the roof going even more into depth of our desires. And after a lot of talking, went on to have our first threesome. Neither of us felt a single bit of jealousy, as we both feel secure in ourselves, and our relationship. We had fun, and would be open to doing it again. But not a chance in hell we'd do it on tv. I'd say if the opportunity is there between three consenting adults, go for it

Awesome!! Congratulations 😄
If I were to consider opening up based on the examples on this show I'd run a mile. Almost every couple who came on to try it was dysfunctional in some major way!

the Portsmouth couple had the most vile way of talking about sex I've ever heard...getting 'chewed' 🤮 how could that give anyone the 'fanny flutters' 🫤😆

Almost every couple who came on to try it was dysfunctional in some major way!

That was clearly part of the criteria for being selected.

I guess for C4 a couple who turned up with well discussed and set up boundaries, enjoyed themselves, had no dramas because of aforementioned well discussed stuff, wouldn't be seen as entertainment.

No that's true!
it's a weird set up. The house residents were a little bit like residents in a brothel!! I know they had a choice obviously but it was so odd. A genuine documentary exploring open relationships would be very interesting. This was just titivation really.

The residents were also always the ones making suggestions or pushing the boundaries that the couples had set.

I’m also convinced it’s no coincidence that the couple whose big fear was rejection were the ones turned down by multiple people.

It seemed very scripted in parts.

One of the residents was someone from a school I worked at …so I had to fast forward all to those bits.

I did finish the series so I couldn’t have disliked it that much!!

The goings on looked like the biggest turn off ever.

I found this more interesting about the relationships than the sex. Some of them gave me really uncomfortable vibes. Others seemed very loving and I felt fond of them! A lot of the residents seemed warm, decent people and treated everyone with respect but I agree there was some subtle boundary-pushing. definitely more about titivation than psychology though.

There were a couple of real concerning moments; the woman who spoke about a 5some when she was SEVENTEEN really unnerved me.

This unnerved me too. I'm a Liberal and liberated person but doing this at 17 is hard to really consent to in a meaningful way

The sex people are back
