01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

We are completely in love but it
doesn't mean you can't screw around.

British couples are increasingly
questioning monogamy.

The biggest contraceptive known to
man is wedding cake.

But is it possible to open up your
relationship without harming it?

It's a complete mystery
the whole thing.

This is it. We don't know what
to expect.

These curious couples are about to
find out.

Oh, that is gorgeous.

They're travelling to
a unique retreat...

Hello, you all right?

Where, with the help of a
specialist relationship therapist...

Life is short.

Why limit sex to just one person?

And a group of single, available
and sexually-liberated residents...

It's just natural to have sex
with multiple people.

They're about to discover
if their sexual fantasies...

Oh, jeez!

Can become a reality.

We like the idea of group sex. Ah.

We just wondered if you'd like
to spend the night with us?

And whether or not they'll be able to
break one of society's greatest taboos...

Argh.

I should have been thinking about
the man that I love

and how he was feeling.

And have sex with other people.

Oh, my God!

WOMAN MOANS

Wow, I was not expecting that.

WOMAN SIGHS

This is the most out of
my comfort zone I've ever been.

Already staying at the retreat are
married couple Jasmine and Al from Surrey.

Wow. Get me my Hugh Hefner
red robe and a Cognac.

They were looking to open up
their relationship

to spice up their sex life.

What's the temperature like? Hot.

It'll be hotter when I get in
there.

But on their dates so far,

Jasmine's been a little less
comfortable with the idea of dating

other men...

What gets you going?
What makes you horny? Oh!

While Al's decided to get closer
to three other women.

That's dessert right there.

Good stuff, kids. Love it.

You like massages, so I can imagine
you like being kissed all over.

Jasmine and Al have been on separate
dates for the past hour.

I feel like I'm looking in from
the outside, my whole situation.

What does that look like?

This is the first time they've been
intimate with anyone else

since they met eight years ago.

All I know is that...
He needs more champagne.

Grace is here and Precious is here

and there's something else coming
up.

LAUGHTER

Self—confessed prude Jasmine is
finding it difficult to open up.

Do you like kissing down the neck?

Do you like the ear lobe bitten?

Yeah. All of those things very much
enjoy them, yes.

What if I carried on going down your
stomach?

Well... And I run my fingers down
there?

Yeah? OK. just... So that's what
turns you on.

I think we've discovered that.

It's a nice thought cos I'd f*cking
enjoy that. Jesus Christ.

Painting that picture, thinking
about that,

it was hard for me to be able to
detail that

and not actually throw this table
across the room

and just take action like that.

This is...

When you look as gorgeous as you,
how is that not possible?

Oh, goodness.

Oh.

It's all so new and weird this whole
thing.

That I really pushed my personal
boundaries.

I'm obviously quite prude
and British in my whole outlook.

So my nan originally lived in Buxton
and she moved down to Maidstone.

Over in Al's yurt...

My nan used to always come round,
bless her heart,

every Friday and give us sweets.
That was just her thing.

No matter how old we were, she used
to come round with sweets. Aw.

Things have taken an unexpected
turn.

So on my mum's side she, not exactly
exciting but my...

Do you know what, sorry, I need to
laugh.

This is a really nice chat and I love stories
like this, learning about people's family.

But we're all sat here in sexy
lingerie learning about your family!

Sorry!

No, I find it interesting though.

Al has Jasmine on his mind.

Being away, being apart from her
isn't good.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Even
now, I'm having a great time with you girls.

100%. But I miss my wife. Cheers.

She's your ride or die.
Absolutely. She's your bae.

She's your ride or die.
She's your bae.

She's your main, main girl. Yeah.

Both Al and Jasmine decide
to call it a night.

Aw, thank you. I had the best time.
Literally you just, you're lovely.

You are such a gentleman.

Thank you so much for the greatest
night.

As lovely as Josh is and everything,
just no-one compares to Al.

I just absolutely love him so much.
He's the best.

I've had a great night. I hope
the girls have had a great night.

But it's been a long day and it's
time to go back to my wife.

The next morning, Jasmine and Al are
due a session with Dr Lori.

Did you get any compliments about
how you looked?

"Cor, look at you. You're fit."

Some of them?
JASMINE LAUGHS

"You're old enough to be my mum but
I'd definitely do you a favour."

JASMINE LAUGHS

Last night was brilliant fun.

Nothing last night was seedy.

It didn't feel wrong because it was
done in good light-hearted fun.

No, it was good. We had a good time.

I don't want another wife,
I just want to go on a stag.

We had a really fun time.

I definitely felt like I was
really having to force myself

to cover a lot of the topics that he
wanted to cover

cos I'd never naturally talk
to people about certain things.

So, yes, I was certainly pushing
my boundaries.

But I think that's part of
the experience and the journey.

It is just so wild for me.

My desire is driven solely by just
purely being a neanderthal.

Right, let's go.

After an eventful 24 hours
at the retreat,

Dr Lori is keen to have a debrief
with the couple.

Hi. Hiya. Hi, you all right?

Yeah. Make yourselves comfy. Thank
you.

Did you have fun last night?

Yeah, just had a laugh.

What did you do, Al?

Ended up going back to a yurt with
three of the ladies in...

With three of them? Not from
a sexual point of view

but from a easier point of view.

It was nice. It was more
a light-hearted, more fun.

So you had the three of them and you
were the centre of attention?

Yes.

Well, I think, that there was good
vibes between all of them to be honest.

Jas, what did you get up to?

So I chose Josh.

So we went in the tepee.

And we had some drinks

and a little bit of something to eat
and really just chatted.

What was it like having that kind of
time with somebody else?

Absolutely bizarre. I felt like
I was breaking the law.

I felt like a criminal.

You felt like a criminal.
So what came up?

Obviously the whole set up is around
kind of romance and lust

and all of that kind of thing.

And it's all just very, very alien
for me

and the fact I was sitting down in
this situation with someone

that wasn't Al was just
completely terrifying.

That's one thing I really learnt
about yesterday.

That if anything going forward with
this that it would be as a unit.

I want to hang out all together.

So you would love to have
a situation

where there was a threesome.

Where it was you and jas doing
something together.

That would be the only goal at this
current time that I would seek.

How would you feel about fulfilling
his fantasy?

I'm sure it's a very common fantasy.

So you have the opportunity
to fulfil it

in a controlled environment,
where you have more of a choice,

where it's safe versus
out in the wild.

Well, it's all very extreme.

Going from being very traditional

to actually being offered
the opportunity to road test

that kind of thing, it's like,
"Oh, my goodness."

So do you talk about your desires
with each other?

I mean, I'll always say things in
passing and joking about.

In terms of really, really improving
your relationship,

you can do an awful lot just talking
about the fantasies,

let alone acting on them.

Hmm.

Which means you've got to be able
to talk about sex without laughing.

JASMINE LAUGHS

She's laughing cos it's
uncomfortable.

A defence mechanism. It's... No,
it's a release of anxiety.

It's a very strange topic to be
talking about, for me.

Sex? Yes.

OK.

I think this whole thing has
just highlighted to me

how very prude and British I am.

OK, that would be a topic I would
expect married couples to talk about.

You need to learn how to talk about
sex with each other...

or you will have problems later.

All right, cheers. Cheers. See you
later. Bye.

The session was quite interesting.

The dangers of not talking about
sex,

especially when there's a difference
in libido,

is that somebody goes and acts on
their desires at some point.

You know, that is the recipe for
affairs.

So what would you like from me,
to enhance our love life?

I suppose it's like any couple,
isn't it?

Go back to what it was like at the
beginning.

JASMINE CHUCKLES

We did used to go out and come back
and want to be sexy

but now you probably just come back
and put on something

with a Care Bear on it or something.

That's a buzzkill. Yes. I need to up
my fashion game.

Do I need to get more bulky for you?

No. Do you want me to six-pack it
up? No.

I love you the way you are, darling.

Tonight, Jasmine and Al with have
the opportunity

to invite a potential sexual partner
for some private time, as a couple.

Even if we were to... Explore your
fantasy.

Explore my fantasy,

bringing in another female
for an evening, of your choice.

You actually have exquisite choice
in women.

Thank you. You really do.

For me, going on dates with other
men,

that just completely ruled it out
for me. There's just no way.

Obviously Al's a red-blooded male,

so other women are of great
interest.

But I still don't want to do anything
that you wouldn't be up for so...

Well, I think that we have
the opportunity

to take part in activities.

Just hang out with just one other
girl. Just see how it feels.

Just to see how it feels.

Be good to see how you react,

on a very, on a very... If that's
actually possible for me.

On a fun, light-hearted level.

We won't know until we dip our toe
in the water, so here we go.

How are you feeling? Erm, I'm
curious.

I'm just eagerly anticipated wait
to be honest.

The next couple due to check into
this unique retreat

are L'Oreal and Kalid from London.

I tell my friends everyone needs
a Kalid in their life.

He keeps me chill.

And she keeps me looking fly.

They've been in a loving, monogamous
relationship for two years.

My favourite thing about Kalid is
his face.

Like I love grabbing his face.
I love looking at him.

Like, he's got good looks.

And their sights are firmly set on
the long term.

I see me and Kalid together forever,
yeah, like, this is endgame.

Our relationship in 50 years' time,
well she's gonna be a granny,

I'm gonna be a grandad!

This could potentially
strengthen our relationship.

This is mad.

L'Oreal and Khalid work hard to keep
things fresh in the bedroom.

When it comes to being the kinkiest

and like bringing that freak side
out of me, Khalid has done that.

Yeah.

Sometimes, you know,
when they doubt the plus-size guys,

but we can come through, you know!

We can actually come through.

But they want to find out
if opening their relationship

and having sex with other people...

Smooth.

Will improve their chances
of staying together for life.

Hey. Hi.

Nice to meet you. I am gonna give
you a hug. Yes.

It's only been two years with us,
so we're still in the early stages.

Are you excited?

Smooth, yeah, can't wait.
Curious.

I feel like it will spice
it up 100%.

Here to welcome them
are host couple Thom and Jess,

both veterans of open relationships.

I think the first time that you
imagine your partner with

somebody else, that's tough, right?

Yep.

Hey, what's up, man?

What you saying?
You all right?

Nice to meet you, man.

There's so much work to get there,
but once you're there, it is

so much fun.
I would never go back to monogamy.

Me neither.
No, no.

Good, I'm glad we agree on that!

Hi. Girl, you look so good. Nice to
meet you.

Nice to meet you.

As we've come in, I felt
like, a bit of nerves

and then as soon as I started
speaking to everyone,

just, I was like I am actually
looking forward to this.

I can't wait. Excited.

I am loving this.
Yes!

Chain or no chain?

No chain.

Married couple Jasmine and Al are
getting ready for a special date.

I'm getting really hot again.

I think it's the anxiety.

They are going to explore Al's
fantasy of a threesome.

We are going on a date
with another lady.

A first for us.

It's to explore, get better, grow.
We're looking forward to it.

It's gonna be a new adventure
and let's see how it rolls.

Jasmine has been more
reserved at the retreat so far,

but is starting to warm to the idea
of experimenting with another woman.

I am very intrigued to try
something completely new.

I think, fundamentally, variety
is the spice of life

and introducing new factors
like this can be really helpful

and beneficial to both parties.

So, just embracing it.

The couple have invited one
of the women Al dated last night,

resident Grace,
to spend some time alone with them.

I'm very excited they picked me.

I can definitely bring
a lot to the party.

I'm a natural helper.

People probably do look at me
and think she's really experienced.

I just wanna have a party
and I wanna have fun.

Hey-Hi, guYs-

How are you? I'm good. How are you?

Come in, come in.

Look at you.
You look amazing.

Hi. Night number two. How you doing?

Not night number two. I'm good.

Boom.
There you go.

First pop of the night.
Wahey.

Your body looks insane.
Thank you.

Have you ever been with
another woman?

No, never.

No? No.

Thanks for inviting me in.

Al wastes no time in pulling
out the erotic games.

Come on, ladies.

Come and join me
for some naughty dice.

This is your crash course, darling.
OK, darling.

Lick lips.

So are we all gonna end up
with your red lipstick on our face.

I am really sorry.
Sounds a bit like that.

Inviting another woman in sexually,
is a first for Jasmine and Al.

So, who's licking whose lips first?

Grace, you sound very experienced,
and like you've done this before.

You do this to me first,
and then I'll know what to do.

OK, cool.

Grace is really cool and fun
and she's very beautiful,

so, nervous excitement
and apprehension.

Married couple Jasmine and Al
are sexually experimenting with

a woman for the very first time.

Lick the bottom lip.

You can choose upper lip
or bottom lip!

And now you've got to do it to me.

It is quite nice, actually.

Al's fantasy of a threesome seems to
be turning into reality.

Lick nipple.
Lick nipple.

Lick whipped cream off each
other's n*pples.

Done.
I'm the chef, ladies.

Oh, yes!

Wahey!

It's a lot of cream!

Was that fun, being dessert?
It's your turn now.

Mmmm.

Definite action!

You have very nice n*pples.
Oh, thank you.

Literally, honestly, I kid you
not...

You have perfect t*ts.
The most amazing you have ever seen.

Perfect t*ts. Thank you.

Jasmine seems to be letting
go of her inhibitions...

See what happens.

Boob massage.

Christ.

Do you wanna do it
both at the same time?

I think so. Do you want to do one
boob each? I think so. Right.

Off you go.
He is like a kid in a sweet shop.

And Al soon has his hands full.

How's your boob massage?
Lovely boob massage.

Yeah, it's really enjoyable. Very
relaxing. Great t*ts.

Both of you. Thanks.
Thank you, darlings.

Thank you for the boob massage.

It was lovely.

That was good.

This is all so wild.

Getting a flavour of non-monogamy.

Butt massage.
I do enjoy a butt massage.

Really?
I've never had one.

Oh, it's lovely.

It is very close to other things.

What's great about you both is you
both are fantastic

in different ways.

Really nice.

I am very glad to hear that.
Thank you.

Variety is the spice of life.
Exactly.

It was amazing, thank you.

I feel reenergised.
It was lovely.

Lovely! It's a first for me.

Having a taster of it with Grace
actually made me

think maybe it is something
we could have fun with.

You're a dark horse,
that's what I think.

Slow burner.
I can see it in you.

Like, she's so fun, and I can tell.

Aw, thanks, Grace. So are you. I
feel like you're a wild card.

It's just waiting for her
cherry to pop.

It's already popped.
For the second time.

Also hoping to make their first
foray into opening

up their relationship are L'Oreal
and Khafid.

Hey.
Hi. Come on in.

And Dr Lori is keen to make
sure their experience here is

a positive one.

How have you settled in? Good.

Everyone has been so lovely,
so nice and welcoming.

So what is it you would like to get
out of this experience?

Being in a non-monogamous
relationship, I think that's

something that me
and Khalid both haven't done before

so we're going into this being
very open-minded about this.

It will be good to try out new
things with new people.

Kinky activities.

Putting, like, blindfolds and just
equipment and the props and stuff.

So, kink and BDSM,
that's an area of interest for you?

Yeah. Yeah, definitely. OK.

And so would you be looking for a
partner who had more experience, to

show you the ropes or explain things
or possibly do things with you?

Yeah, I feel like, cos we're
both in that sense, inexperienced

I feel like if there was someone
that had a bit more experience with

that, I think that would help
lead the way for us a bit, yeah,

100%. OK.

How jealous are you guys?

In the first six months,

I think that was a real big
challenge for me.

But I feel like as time
went on, trust is a lot more solid.

I can get pretty jealous,
yeah, no, 100%.

But I think that's just a previous
history of my trust with

other people.

Do you have specific past traumas?

Before Khalid, I just felt like I
was giving

and not, like, receiving, the
same.

It did make me think...

Is it something to do with me, kind
of thing. And...

So that's where you went,
"Is this something to do with me?"

Yeah.
"Am I not good enough?"

That's really hard.

But that's where we usually go
with these things.

It's emotional isn't it?

Yeah. Aw.

You're OK, L'Oreal.
Yeah?

It's a scary feeling
and a scary thought,

when you're not feeling completely
confident in yourself.

You're special, man.
She's amazing.

And it's just you for the world.
Love you.

When you were growing up, did you
get told that you were pretty?

That you were intelligent?

That you were good enough?

That you were loved?

It probably did start off in school.

People did the names and stuff
and it's like about my lips

and my appearances
and stuff like that.

And I feel like that
definitely held with me.

Yeah.

For so many years, I've been holding
that in and I just let it all out.

Me going back into school
and how I felt then and then

so much things that I didn't know
that was there on the surface,

that I just wanted to let out.

You need to be able to
look in the mirror

and to love your features the way
they are. Yeah.

I often see couples wanting to open
up their relationship

and have sex with lots of people
as a means of validating themselves

or feeling good enough, where they
haven't felt good enough before.

This isn't necessarily the best
starting-off point

for consensual non-monogamy.

And in these cases, you have to
tread very carefully.

So the work that you have to do now
is in building yourself up.

You are beautiful.

And if you are gonna do this you
really have to start believing that.

Dr Lori has come up with
a bespoke plan to ease

the couple into their sexual
adventure.

So you are actually gonna
go on a social together,

so that you have each other's
support.

Cos I think that will make
it a bit easier.

Then you will go on dates
separately. OK.

Do as much or as little as you
want to do.

Consent is the key to
consensual non-monogamy.

How are you guys feeling now? Yeah,
I feel good. Good.

It was nice that she opened up
and...

I feel like a weight has been
lifted off my shoulder.

Brilliant.

This is your room.

I know, right?

This is amazing.
Wow.

Anything that you need from us,
so if you have any questions or

any emotions that pop up,
just give us a call.

I'm looking forward to going in,
speaking to people,

seeing how it's gonna make me
feeL

like, actually getting into it.

Make yourselves at home.
— Thank you.

Thank you.
I am so excited for you both.

I will give you a hug, before...

As long as we know we trust
each other, we have belief in what

we actually want to do
with each other, I think

things like this will be
a good experiment.

Do you know what this feels like?
Romeo and Juliet.

This is nice, right?

That's a very good vibe.

Very, very, very good vibes!

L'Oreal and Khalid are getting
ready for a social, where they'll

meet the retreat's
sexually open residents.

You know, your bum's just
jiggling in that.

"P? 90""?! jiggle, jiggle.
Jiggle, Jiggle, jiggle.

Dr Lori wants them
to agree a set of ground rules...

OK, so let's go over
the boundaries again.

To side—step any potential
problems further down the line.

When we go out there, you've got to
get to know someone, have a

good bond first, before even
thinking of trying out sex.

Exactly.

Touching and stuff of guys, from
your side, I wouldn't mind too much.

Yeah, with the kissing as well.

I know I was a bit crazy
but then again I wouldn't mind.

It's a kiss, yeah,

As much as we both
say, like, we could go in

and things could be
completely different.

Yeah.

One thing I do feel is sexy...

The couple will arrive together but
will both be aiming to make enough

of a connection to invite a resident
on a separate romantic date.

Hey, you're looking clapper.

Yeah, I am excited for tonight.

We're going into a party
full of hot singles.

There is people out
there that will

appreciate your looks,
your personality.

Come on, then, let's go.

Gonna just bring the vibe,
if the vibe's not already there.

Yeah.

We're the vibes!
Yeah, we're the vibes!

This is a gathering
unlike any other.

Hey.

Yeah, man.

Yeah, man.
Yeah, man.

Each one of tonight's sexually
liberated guests is

keen to find out what the newcomers
can bring to the party.

Yous look really good.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

You are in an environment where you
can speak about anything. Anything. Yeah.

You guys look lovely, though.
You look really nice.

I like your shoes. You look cute.
Thank you. Thank you.

You know, I try, we're trying.

Ice broken, L'Oreal and Khalid
split.

Hey, gorgeous, I am gonna take you
somewhere else. This way. Yeah.

All right. Cool. Nice. See you
later. Bye.

They'll socialise with
the residents separately, to see

if they can establish any
connections.

Hi, guys you all right? Hi.

Please take care of her very well
OK? Will do.

L'Oreal's my favourite already. Nice
to meet you. I'm Lewis. Pleasure.

Nice to meet you. L'Oreal. Sorry,
say... Is it L'Oreal?

L'Oreal, yeah,
Like the brand, shampoo.

For L'Oreal, that means having
the confidence to open up.

Is there things you haven't done
before, that you really wanna do?

I really,
I haven't used toys before.

You've never used toys?
I've never used toys.

Oh, my goodness.

Speaking about sex and things that
I like and what's my turn-ons,

and fantasies,
that I wouldn't do back home.

So it's learning, you know, that
it's OK to speak about sex

and things you like.

I don't know if people find this
weird, like, the chat

during sex like,
"Mmm, spank me, Daddy."

All of that. Spank me, Daddy? Yeah,
like. Is that what you say?

Say it for us. Give us a quick line.
Go on. Spank me, Daddy.

Can you whisper
that in my ear, quickly?!

Just come out.
Just come out on its own.

WHISPERS: "Spank me, Daddy."

I can get on board with that.
Yeah.

I think L'Oreal seems very
confident.

She seems like a cool girl.

I'd like to get to know
her a bit more.

L'Oreal isn't the only one enjoying
the sexual chat with the residents.

What's your favourite position?

I think you
and Loreena should demonstrate.

LAUGHTER

Reverse cowgirl, 100%.
Yeah.

Leg upon shoulder.
Yeah.

Leg upon shoulder is a great
one, isn't it?

Are you that flexible?
Yeah.

You know what, you just put it
back, you know!

Back. I used to dance.

Yeah, you will find out, then.
You will just know, then.

While Khalid has never
been in an open relationship,

he has had sex with more
than one person.

This is separate to L'Oreal.
This is way before.

So you've had threesomes before?
We had vibes and like, yeah.

What, like, two guys and one girl?
No, two girls.

Two, yeah. Yes, man. He likes his
p*ssy. Yes, man.

It's a vibe, man!

It's a vibe!
