Channel 4’s “Open House: The Great Sex Experiment” continues to push boundaries. This week’s episode focuses on the emotional rollercoaster experienced by the couples as they explore the concept of open relationships.
For Welsh couple Jonny and Sarah, the experiment presents ongoing difficulties as they struggle to overcome their nervousness about opening up their relationship. The tension from last week’s episode spills over into this week as Tanith and Paul process the fact that their partners engaged in sexual activity with multiple people on their very first night at the retreat.
Can these couples handle the emotional challenges inherent in non-monogamy? Will the experiment help them grow closer, or drive them further apart? It’s a bold exploration of love, intimacy, and the search for connection in the 21st century.
“Open House: The Great Sex Experiment” airs this Friday, 16 May at 10:00 PM GMT on Channel 4.
