Channel 4's Virgin Island where people lose their virginity is described as 'new tv low'
Viewers tuning in to the show were left squirming in their seats. A new reality show that features 12 adults trying to lose their virginity has been described as 'excruciating' and 'a new low for television'. Channel 4 's controversial show Virgin Island aired for the first time on Monday and viewers have been squirming in their seats ever since. The series follows 12 adults who have never had sex before. They travel to a retreat in Croatia to complete a range of tasks in the hope of losing their virginity. The opening episode introduced virgins who have their various fears around intimacy, including a bisexual receptionist called Taylor, 29, who burst into tears while maintaining eye contact with another contestant. Zac, 28, is keen to have sex with his assigned surrogate partner in the first session. Fans were quick to share their disgust for the show, with one even branding it a 'new low' for television. While the show uses a range of methods, as well as guidance from sexologists and surrogate partner therapy, viewers were quick to share their views on the show. Posts on X included: 'In my opinion, this is a bit twisted, they need to work on themselves first, being a virgin is nothing to be embarrassed about #virginisland I think is bizarre. FFS get ready for my rants." Another said: 'This is so exploitative. I'm panicking myself and now I'm watching it at home!! I can't even imagine being one of them right now. This is awful.' A third posted: 'I'm finding this very creepy, I wouldn't like that and I'm not a virgin, the therapists are strange this is not right.' One said: 'Anyone else a bit creeped out by this show?; Didn't think TV would get any lower, then pops along #virginisland.' 'It feels wrong to be watching this. That was an absolutely excruciating watch - see you all tomorrow.' The new six-part series sees sexologists Dr Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman and their team, guide the group of virgins on a unique course. According to her website, Dr. Danielle is 'passionately committed to helping people grow, heal, and fully embrace the richness of their erotic and emotional lives.' She has a PHD in Human Sexuality, a Master's in Clinical Social Work, and a Bachelor's in Psychology and Educational Counselling. Celeste is trained in attachment psychology, sociology, gender studies, and body-based modalities. She has a Masters in Human Sexuality Studies from San Francisco State University and a BA in Women's Studies from UCSC. The contributors, all aged between 22 and 30 years old aim to overcome a range of emotional hurdles to take their first steps towards sex and intimacy. 'Sexological Bodyworkers' — Aisha, Thomas, and Joy — are brought in to guide the participants through erotic techniques. They're joined by two 'surrogate partners', Kat and Andre, who help the virgins build emotional and physical connection through direct experience. While some viewers have praised the show for breaking down sexual taboos, others have been left gobsmacked by how far it goes — with one calling it 'basically porn with coaching.' Ahead of the series' launch, co-founders of the Somatica Institute, Danielle and Celeste defended the use of 'surrogates' who are helping the 12 people lose their virginity on camera – as they branded sex on other TV shows 'harmful and unrealistic'. When asked if she felt there was too much sex on TV, Celeste said: 'I don't know if there's too much, but the quality of sex on television is abysmal. 'It's like three kisses up against the wall, pulling off the pants, sticking it in, and then it's over.' Celeste described the relationship between the client and surrogate as 'authentic' and shared how the dynamic can reflect what would happen in a 'real relationships', including the possibility of 'performance problems' from either the surrogate or client. 'It is really an authentic relationship,' she explained. 'So one thing that can happen in a relationship is that someone has performance problems, and so they would just communicate about it and say, oh, you know, something's not working here. Let's take a break. Let's try again.' The sexologist added: 'That authenticity is what actually prepares people to have real relationships out in the world. 'So it's not just like trying to force something and a lot of times surrogates do work with people who have pretty significant dysfunctions, and so they need to work with those kinds of things, both in their clients and if it comes up in themselves as well.'
