Open House - The Great Sex Experiment

Anyone else watching? As always my jaw is on the floor. The first couple - he is a prolific cheat, she is ten years younger and seems quite upset by the previous infidelity yet here they are…at a glorified orgy. Why?!

I really like Gage. He seems very sweet(or is it just me?)

Bleugh

Of course he's sweet he'll shag anyone and anything.

Every single couple in this programme just consists of one partner who wants to shag other people and another that doesn’t, and is just pretending/going along for the ride for fear of being dumped.
Compulsive viewing but a relationship car crash.

I’m intrigued it’s all the women (although they call them girls and call themselves girls..)
are saying they are bi and all the men are straight…

Johnny was such a typical male. He wants to shag another woman. He wants his partner to shag another woman for his titillation, but his head was nearly exploding whenever she was within 10 metres of another man. 🥱 He is absolutely repulsive. When he was violently chewing that gum with his mouth wide open and all the veins in his head popping, he was just a shaking mass of anabolic steroids who looked like he was on the verge of going postal and committing a mass murder. It’s no wonder they got knocked back by the French woman; she was probably in fear for her life.

Amy was disgraceful. Poor, poor Claude. He adored her and she very obviously didn’t give a shit about him.

I agree with everything you say!!

I hate that big, gym-bunny, burly, thick-set look too. Horrible. And these men always have dark beards and bald heads, and a shirt that's too tight! 😆

He (Johnny?) was definitely not wanting a man anywhere near. He just wanted a woman with him and his missus. Because he is an 'alpha male' and she's 'his wumman' and all that shite. 🙄

I'm actually quite pleased I've avoided this bar the 1st episode.

Remembering Charlie Brooker once describing all this sort of stuff as"like watching an animated butchers shop"

Aquarius1234 · 25/05/2025 11:33

Johnny is so unattractive. Not surprised the French woman wasn't interested.

He also has a weird way of nodding his head. Anxiety thing maybe. Like when someone tells you your blinking a lot or winking. Nervous tick. His eyes kept moving too.
I think he must do this a lot as his wife kept noticing.

I think lt really upset him when the French lady rejected him . But if the attraction is not there and she’s not obligated to put out .

Claude is proof that not all men want to cheat

I think he is up for it but not for all to see on TV . I think he was intimidated by being on the show once he got there .

By the way, whilst I'm not watching this telly prog, I'm Hella Prurient and thought I'd ask is there anywhere on this site where ppl can tut regularly at the Grauniads Sexxytime column. This weekends is... Um, special

Those make me laugh when I read them.

So very worthy and so much more sophisicated than the rest of us who just enjoy sex in all it's sticky glory. It's sort of the other side of the same coin as Open House.

I agree. I actually find him quite repugnant. Nothing appealing about him at all. (Physically or any other way.) And I agree with the poster who said he is so typical of many men. Wants to shag other women, and wants to see his woman shagging other women, but nearly lost his shit when his woman was within a stone's throw of another man and he thought she was going to kiss him/snog him. He gives strong incel vibes. (Even though he is very likely not a virgin.)

Surely this is merely the latest in a long and proud line of pornography dressed up as science and/or education . Just put the word "research" or "study" or "guide" in the title and you're good to go.

I only came he to see if the latest series of The Horne Section was up for comment. I guess there is some synergy 😂

SarBet · 26/05/2025 20:05

It's utter trash TV, but I can't tear my eyes away 😂 But I really don't like the new house they're using in series 3. The one they were using in the first two series was beautiful.

Shadesofscarlett · 30/05/2025 22:24

so now she is jealous about Claude by the looks of it

Lyannaa · 30/05/2025 22:34

I don’t get it - why was Amy upset?

Borris · 30/05/2025 22:37

Yawn …. Another bisexual women

Tedious now isn't it? As has been said, it's all men shagging women, and women shagging women. and couples where one wants it (the 'swinging,) and the other one doesn't. 😴

I don’t think they had the connection she wanted with Georgie. She genuinely seems to want the commune lifestyle, not just sex but full on relationships with other people.

Alex and Alana—FFS. He wants on open relationship and she clearly does not. She’s giving I’m just going along because if I don’t, he’ll cheat. She keeps using vocab that isn’t great… “threatening”, for example.

It’s the ‘therapist’ that gets right up my nose. It’s blatantly obvious that there’s a person in most of these couples who is being coerced. She’s complicit in the abuse. She’s vile.
