Channel 4’s groundbreaking series “Virgin Island” continues this Tuesday, following a group of twelve adult virgins as they take part in an intensive intimacy course at a luxury retreat. The program aims to help participants work through the fears and anxieties that have held them back from forming intimate connections.
Episode 2 introduces touch therapy, with the group participating in massage and an “animal game,” designed to encourage physical interaction and trust. For some, this is a liberating experience. For others, like Ben, who faces rejection, and Taylor, struggling with complicated emotions, the path to intimacy looks rocky. Jason, meanwhile, grapples with his reluctance to engage in something as seemingly simple as a hug. “Virgin Island” airs Tuesday, 13 May at 9:00 PM GMT on Channel 4.
