You’d be mistaken to think Channel 4 couldn’t add any more wow factor after shows like and n**ed.n**ed Attraction.
But this time, they’ve gone a step further with .
The series, which aired its first episode on Friday night, advocates sex-positivity and steps away from the taboos around sex and polyamory.
However, viewers were shocked by just how open contestants on the show were willing to be on camera.
From sweethearts looking for a throuple, On***ans stars, and even , the cast could give Love Island contestants a run for their money as they take part in saucy sex-games.

Open House: The Great Sex Experiment invites poly-curious couples to a luxury retreat full of sexy singles and gives them the chance to explore their sexual fantasies and desires.

The committed couples that enter the show put their monogamous relationships to the test, to see if they’re ready for ethical non-monogamy, while their journey is broadcast on national TV.
Last night, viewers saw couple Nathan and Mady try a steamy three-way, but after it didn’t quite go the way Nathan expected, leaving him feeling like a ‘spare part’, it nearly tore them apart.
After speaking to Dr Lori, the couple agreed to talk openly about their feelings and work harder to make everyone feel involved.
They then decided to give having a threesome another go, which turned out to be a success, leaving them ready to leave the resort and open up their relationship.
