Channel 4 pushes boundaries with its new reality series, “Virgin Island,” premiering this Monday. The show follows twelve adult virgins as they arrive at a luxurious island retreat to take part in a unique intimacy course. As they settle in, the group learns more about the hands-on therapy they’ll be receiving, designed to help them overcome intimacy anxiety and tune into their innermost sexual desires.
The experts waste no time getting to grips with the participants’ issues, beginning a process of exploration and growth. For many of the participants, coping with rejection is a major hurdle, and “Virgin Island” looks at this very personal challenge with sensitivity and candor. The series reflects a growing trend of individuals remaining virgins for longer periods and actively seeking support to deal with intimacy. “Virgin Island” premieres Monday, May 12th at 9:00 PM GMT on Channel 4.
