Channel 4 is looking for new participants in its show Open House: The Great Sex Experiment . The broadcaster describes it as a social experiment television series where committed couples come to a luxury retreat to test whether opening up their relationships and having sex with other people will strengthen their bond.

Whilst at a luxury location, which MailOnline reports is a country house in Herefordshire, couples get the opportunity to meet and date the retreat's residents as well as get advice and information about non-monogamy from an expert team, Channel 4 adds. So far, there have been two series of the show .

The first had six episodes, the second eight . One of the stars of the programme, Precious Muir, is from London.

She revealed to the Daily Star last year that she forgets about the cameras when she is having liaisons with people on the show. Precious said: "Because I'm quite open sexually, I'm bisexual, I tend to not put myself in a box so for me it's more about having fun in the moment and seeing where it goes.

"I've had a little few escapades on the show, threesomes, and in the recent season there was a group session." At the time of the interview, August 2023, Channel 4 had not confirmed a third series of the show.

"If [there were another series] definitely I'll be on it," Precious said. She added: "I think the third season will be probably be less focused on anything other than having a good time."

Now, it looks like Channel 4 is planning another run. It has asked potential participants: "Do you question monogamy? Would you like the opportunity to explore opening up your relationship?"

Other prominent residents in the show include Grace Florence, a pole dancer who's also hooked up with participants on more than one occasion. She told The Sun in an interview that one guest who entered the house ended up in a fracas with security off camera over them refusing to give him any more booze.

Open House: The Great Sex Experiment: How does the new Channel 4 show work?

You’d be mistaken to think Channel 4 couldn’t add any more wow factor after shows like First Dates and Naked Attraction.

But this time, they’ve gone a step further with Open House: The Great Sex Experiment .

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, OnlyFans stars, and even ex-Apprentice contestant Lewis Ellis , the cast could give Love Island contestants a run for their money as they take part in saucy sex-games.

Channel 4 describes the social experiment as a ‘bold concept’ where ‘committed couples come to a luxury retreat to test whether opening up their relationships and having sex with other people will strengthen their bond.’

The six-part series may be a bold experiment, and a shocking show, but it also provides a safe and healthy way for poly-curious couples to explore their fantasies.

What is Open House: The Great Sex Experiment about?

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.

At the same time, intimacy therapist Dr Lori Beth is on-hand to provide support and advice, ensuring relationships are kept safe and healthy.

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.

Where is it filmed?

The location of the ‘unique retreat’ where Open House: The Great Sex Experiment hasn’t been disclosed by Channel 4, but the series takes place in a luxury villa-style mansion.

Each couple has their own lavish room to which they can invite a singleton to at night, if they choose to take that next step.
