EXCLUSIVE Bickering couple who clashed over group romps have PRICELESS reaction after they embark on shocking fivesome during latest Open House: The Great Sex Experiment
Open House: The Great Sex Experiment latest episode will see a couple completely U- turn on monogamy after they embark on a shocking fivesome. Last week Johnny, 43, and Sarah, 37, clashed about 'swapping partners' just moments before they both began smooching another woman in the jacuzzi But now the pair have definitely settled into the experiment, which sees pairs opening up their relationship, as they get up close and personal with three other residents during the latest episode (May 30). As viewers will remember, Johnny had to take a breather and confessed he was feeling 'anxious' after getting to know eight other people. In an exclusive sneak peek obtained by MailOnline, Sarah confesses: 'If we don't do it now, I don't think we are ever going to. 'He's naturally going to be a bit nervous but we need to crack on and get it done.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Johnny tells Sarah: 'It's a massive thing for me.' Sarah replies: 'Baby, don't worry I am so happy that you've put your mind to it.' Meanwhile in the teepee one of the residents says: 'I think the orgy thing might be too much for them. I feel like they might not get involved.' Speaking to the camera, Johnny says: 'There's definitely too many people in that room for me. It's a scary scenario for a man!' After doing the deed, the pair appear on cloud nine, with Johnny jumping back into bed with Sarah and he tells her: 'Wow that was crazy!' 'I don't know what to say,' Sarah to which Johnny replies: 'There is nothing I really can say to be honest.' 'Was that good for you?' she questions him 'It was good for me, was it good for you.' Johnny tells her: 'It was alright.' Later on while talking to the camera, Sarah shouts: 'We want more!' Johnny adds: 'This is just the first step. This is the first step. 'And what we needed to do because this is what we want to do. We want to enjoy each other. 'We want to share it. 'That's just an amazing experience!' Just before meeting another couple, Gem and Daz, the pair end up awkwardly butting heads. Sarah asked Johnny: 'Tell me what's going through your head.' Jonny told her: 'It's not catching my buttons if I'm honest, like.' Despite the frosty start, things seem to progress quite quickly later on as Sarah got close to resident Gem and they started kissing in front of Johnny. Gem asked Daz and Johnny: 'How was it for you guys?' After a bit of giggling, Gem asked Sarah: 'Would you like me to kiss Johhny?' and Johnny agrees with a big smile on his face. Sarah previously told viewers: 'We've been to sex party clubs and we've been adamant we're going to do something... As viewers will remember, Johnny had to take a breather and confessed he was feeling 'anxious' after getting to know eight other people 'And just not actually doing it. 'Then getting home and kicking ourselves.' Johnny added: 'The amount of times over the years we've tried to do this. 'We are here to push ourselves.' 'It's crunch time,' Sarah said. 'I think if we don't do it now, then I don't think that we are ever going to.'

The school run's so awkward now we're on a shocking TV experiment – maybe other parents just want to sleep with us too?
A COUPLE who are appearing on controversial TV show Open House have admitted it's become more than a little awkward doing the school run. Sarah and Jonny are one of the pairs taking part in the programme, which sees couples explore the idea of an open relationship, and admitted in a video on TikTok that they feel somewhat embarrassed knowing that other parents will have watched the episode. 7 7 7 7 "Well that was slightly awkward school run, wasn't it love?" Sarah asked her other half. To which Jonny, who was driving at the time, replied: "Well they're getting a bit more awkward aren't they? "A few more dodgy looks!" "I just drive and hide in the car and Johnny goes and takes the kids," Sarah added on their way back home. But the pair said that next week's response to the Channel 4 programme is likely to be even more noticeable. "Yeah, next week's going to be more interesting!" Sarah acknowledged with a giggle. In the last episode of Open House, Sarah and Jonny admitted they've been trying to open up their relationship for the past two years, but "keep bottling out at the last minute". "Will they be able to overcome their nerves and how will Jonny feel if he needs to share Sarah with another man?" a description of the episode in an online TV guide reads. As for what's happening in the next installment, the synopsis continued: "With a second night ahead, it remains to be seen whether they can yet partake in sex with their partners and other people". "Do you reckon they've seen us somewhere before?" Sarah and Jonny captioned the video while sharing it on TikTok. Taking lovers has improved our relationship but threesome on TV left me in tears - I couldn't warn my six kids And, predictably, the comments section was immediately filled with those debating whether or not the couple had anything to feel awkward about. "What do you expect?" one sighed, in a comment that's had 92 likes. "I found it awkward enough doing the school run after I'd been on Tipping Point, let alone this," another hilariously wrote. "Love your confidence and haven't seen the show, but please monitor how other kids will treat your kids," a third posted. "Aww hi you two!! It'll be more interesting after next week's episode!" someone else agreed. While another urged the couple to "embrace it". "Nothing to be embarrassed about!" they added. "They'll be asking you questions soon!" "You're here for a good time not a long time, they're probably jealous!" another wrote. "I'd be asking you all the questions!" "They're watching it though?" someone else pointed out. "Why else would they be watching if they weren't interested?" 7 7 7

My boyfriend wants to film himself having sex with my best mate & for me to watch it – our non-monogamy has gone too far
1 DEAR DEIDRE: OPENING up our relationship has been thrilling and better than I expected, until my boyfriend's latest suggestion - that he sleeps with my childhood best friend. Non-monogamy made our sex life far more exciting as we shared our adventures with each other. I've had three different partners, he's had two and we always talk about our experiences after. It's such a thrill. But now he's been making a move on a friend of mine and it feels too close to home. And instead of just talking about their adventures after, he wants to record it and 'enjoy the footage together'. His request feels like he's overstepping the mark. I almost thought we didn't need to say it but surely we shouldn't be bringing in people we know already - let alone people we are close to. And it's one thing talking about our escapades and another thing being confronted with the evidence. My boyfriend and I met three years ago in London, after I moved from the south coast. I'm 27 and he's 28. Dear Deidre After Dark- Understanding open relationships We've been living together for just over two years and everything has been great. It was my suggestion to try polyamory. Although at first he was cautious, after we both researched how to open up your relationship, he agreed to give it a go. We've been non-monagamous for over a year now and make sure that we keep checking in with each other. Our rules are simple, that we tell each other who we are seeing, and that we let the other person know our relationship status. People warned me it would wreck our relationship but I'd say it's done the opposite - up until now anyway. Our sex life is so much better and we talk about our sexual exploits with others which is so erotic. I look at friends in long term relationships and can see they are getting bored staying in together night after night. There is always so much going on in London, and I've loved exploring all the different areas when I've been on different dates. I've seen three different guys regularly and my boyfriend has two regular women he hooks up with. I've never felt a twinge of jealousy before, but I could tell when he came back to my home town with me at Christmas he'd taken a shine to my friend. Not long after we returned he told me he's started messaging her and was going to ask her out. He seemed surprised when I got upset. He'd be making a big effort to see her as he'd have to travel over an hour and a half to get there. Am I being over sensitive or does he want to go too far? The Different Types of Non-monogamy There are many types of non-monogamous relationships. All of them allow sex with more than one person but the expectations for things like emotions, priority and lifestyles are very different. Open Relationship/Monogamish A committed couple that allows each other to have sex with other people. Polyamory Multiple emotional and sexual relationships at the same time, with the consent of everyone involved. Hierarchical polyamory A 'primary' couple prioritise each other, but each has multiple romantic, sexual relationships too. Non-Hierarchical Polyamory Individuals engage in multiple romantic, sexual relationships without assigning priority. Polyfidelity (also known as Triads, Couples or Quads) Three or more people involved in an exclusive relationship. Solo Poly Having multiple intimate relationships with people while otherwise living a single lifestyle. Swinging A couple who have sex with other people, usually simultaneously. Casual sex, casual dating, friends with benefits Dating or having sex with multiple people, while remaining uncommitted to anyone. Relationship Anarchy Doing away with some or all of the traditional 'rules' applied to romantic relationships. Polygamy Polygamy is being married to more than one spouse. Polygamy isn't legal in the UK. DEIDRE SAYS: You've researched how to make non-monogamy work so will know the first rule is that you both have to be 100% happy with the arrangement. The moment one of you feels unhappy or even unsure is the time to pause and reevaluate. Talk to your boyfriend about your reservations. He won't appreciate your position unless you explain. This potential liaison isn't solely about your boyfriend and his extra partner, it's also about a pre-existing relationship between you and your childhood friend. While you are totally at ease with your open relationship in London, bringing it closer to home, where you grew up and your family is, understandably feels different. And as you say, your boyfriend would have to make a big effort to meet your friend, which could mean he's getting emotionally involved. Opening up your relationship for sexual relationships is one thing, but multiple romantic relationships can be much harder to navigate. Again you both need to be clear about what you want from non-monogamy - is this about multiple sexual partners, or are extra emotional relationships okay? My support pack Non-Monogamy explains more.

EXCLUSIVE First look at shock threesome scenes on Channel 4's racy dating show Open House: Great Sex Experiment as childhood sweethearts push the boundaries on their relationship
Childhood sweethearts have admitted it's like they have 'opened up a new world' after having their first ever threesome on Friday's instalment of Open House: Great Sex Experiment. A third series of the Channel 4 show, which sees monogamous couples explore welcoming other people into their relationships, returned to screens earlier this month. Married couple Chloe and Paul - who have been together since they were teenagers - joined the social experiment to allow Chloe to explore her sexuality, after she revealed she has also been attracted to women in the past. The first episode saw her get intimate with two other women and Friday night's episode will see them take it to the next level together. In an exclusive first look obtained by MailOnline, Paul asks Chloe: 'You ready then?' to which Chloe nods and he says: 'Sound' as they walk out of their room. The couple return to their room with resident Grace and she's very impressed with what she sees. 'How aren't you lucky!' she points out as she looks around the room. Paul says: 'Sound in here isn't it?' The voice over tells viewers: 'Tonight, Chloe and Paul hope to finally open up together with resident Grace.' Grace tells the camera: 'With threesomes, you have to be so verbal with each other because it is so easy for the other person to get left out.' Paul adds: 'I need to be like super comfortable and relaxed in order to perform.' After their night with Grace, Chloe says: 'It's a nice experience. It's something new. Like I think it's just contentment.' Paul adds: 'It's exciting because it's like we've opened up a new world. I feel reborn, I'm just missing the cigar!' In episode one, Chloe and Paul opened up to Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey about what they wanted to explore. Paul explained: 'Over the last two years, our sex life improved, it's come to a point where like Chloe started opening up about being bi-curious.' Chloe explained that she's felt like it since she was younger, and speaking to the camera she admitted: 'I think about it all the time. 'Growing up it was said all the time, "Girls who are bisexual are greedy". 'Some family members I've spoken to, they are really supportive. But a few of them, I've tried speaking to them and they just blow it off. 'I think if I hadn't have met Paul, I wouldn't be as open about it. Now I just need to try it and I'll know who I am as a person.' Open House hit screens in 2022 and over the past three years there have been three seasons of couples exploring involving other people in their sex lives. Channel 4's official press release of the brand new series reads: 'Open House explores whether monogamy is an outdated concept in modern relationships, following previously monogamous couples as they experiment in open sexual relationships for the very first time. 'To match up with the show's provocative and unpredictable nature, the 4creative team knew they had to think outside of the box.' Executive Creative Director of 4creative, David Wigglesworth, said: 'Open House is an utterly bonkers show that more people need to be watching. 'So we set out to reflect its wild, anything-goes spirit with a campaign that's just as strange, funny and thought-provoking. 'By taking picture-perfect couples and throwing a third person into the mix, we wanted to show — quite literally — how weird things can get when you open up your relationship.' The result is bold, visually bonkers, and just a little bit messy. Much like the show itself.'

I was wrong to think opening my marriage would help… now my wife and her lesbian lover got matching tattoos
DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER my wife and her lesbian lover got matching tattoos, I now fear my marriage is over. When I agreed to an open relationship, I believed it would keep us together, but it's all gone horribly wrong. I'm a man of 42 and my wife is aged 40. We had been very happily married for 13 years, until this. I've always known that my wife is bisexual and had slept with women before she met me. It didn't bother me. But a few years ago, she asked if she could have sex with other women occasionally, for fun. She made it clear she wouldn't have an affair behind my back, or get emotionally involved with anyone. She didn't want to cheat. She simply craved lesbian sex — which obviously I couldn't give her — and thought that by making our marriage open, she could satisfy her needs without hurting me. I agreed to an open marriage, even though I had no intention of sleeping with anyone else myself. I loved her so much, I couldn't risk losing her. And, at first, it was fine. She had a few one-night stands. But last year, she met a woman at work. At first, I didn't think anything of it. But soon she started to become secretive with her phone. It didn't feel any more like she was just having fun. It felt like an affair. She began to lie to me about her whereabouts — and we also started to argue. Then she came home with a new tattoo, of a bird, on her shoulder. Dear Deidre: Cheating and can you get over it She admitted her 'friend' had got one, too, and then confessed she'd fallen in love with her. We've agreed to a trial separation, and I'm moving out to stay with my brother for a while. She says she loves me and will end her affair. She wants to make our marriage work. But I'm not sure if we can get past this. What should I do? But you'll need to work hard to rebuild the trust. And that means she needs to accept that having an open relationship doesn't work. Being bisexual is not an excuse for cheating. Couple counselling would really help you. Read my support pack, Counselling, and set up an appointment through You should also both read my support pack Cheating, Can You Get Over It? DISABLED AND MY HUSBAND IS BULLY DEAR DEIDRE: I'M so upset because my husband doesn't want me to enjoy a boozy lunch with an old friend and won't drive me to meet her. I'm disabled and no longer independent, and it feels like he's controlling my life. Until I was forced to medically retire last year, owing to my multiple sclerosis, I was a career woman with a busy social life. I'm 60 and my husband, who is 64, has become my carer. He looks after me well but does like to play the martyr, which always makes me feel bad. Now he's said he doesn't think I should meet my friend because she's a bad influence. I do tend to get a bit tipsy when I see her. But I am so looking forward to getting out of the house, and don't want to lose the friendship. She doesn't drive, so can't pick me up. My husband has told me to cancel. DEIDRE SAYS: Maybe he is worried about the effect of alcohol on your health, or resents caring for you. But he has no right to dictate who you see. Ask him what's worrying him. Explain to him how important it is for you to maintain some independence, and friendships. My support pack, Standing Up For Yourself, should help you to have this conversation. If he's finding caring difficult, suggest he read my Help For Carers pack. Perhaps you could get a taxi to your friend's place. I DREAD 20TH ANNIVERSARY AT JOB I JUST CANNOT BEAR DEAR DEIDRE: THE prospect of a celebration meal to mark 20 years in a job I hate is filling me with dread. I've wanted to leave for years and can't face a night out with bosses who have treated me appallingly. I'm in my late forties and have wanted to quit my job, at an engineering firm, virtually since the day I started there. But it was never the right time to go. Then, when I did make the decision to quit, I was persuaded to stay, with a pay rise and promotion. Now the company has told me they plan to organise a long-service dinner in my honour. There used to be a monetary alternative but that wasn't mentioned. The thought of smiling and making small talk with people I despise is making me sick with anxiety. But if I say no, I know it will count against me. What should I do? DEIDRE SAYS: This celebration meal has hammered home how much you hate your job, and your regret over staying in it. You could ask if the cash alternative is available. But if you're sure that saying something will count against you, making going to work even more unpleasant, it might not be worth it. After all, you've got through 20 years. One more evening of smiling through the pain is nothing in comparison. See this as the push you need to finally leave, and find a job you enjoy. You're clearly a valued employee who has a lot to offer. MUM IGNORES MY RULES FOR KIDS DEAR DEIDRE: MY mother undermines my parenting by contradicting everything I say to my children. She'll give them ice creams when I say they should have fruit as snacks, and buys them plastic swords when I've said no to toy weapons. The kids are getting so many mixed messages that they're confused. I'm 36 and a mum to a young son and daughter. My mother is 64. She picks them up from school twice a week because she wants to spend time with them. I'm happy about that – but not that she goes directly against my wishes. Once, my son was crying and she told him to stop because boys shouldn't cry. That made me really angry as I believe it's sexist and will teach him to keep his emotions inside. These are only the things I know about because my children tell me. I dread to think what else she's saying or doing. When I said something to her, she denied doing anything wrong. I know grandmas and mums have different roles but surely she shouldn't be going against my decisions. I have no idea how to deal with this. Please help. Perhaps your mother disapproves of your parenting style. And as her child, it's very possible you may have issues with her parenting style, given that you experienced it yourself and are probably now reacting against it. You need to make it clear that you appreciate her support but there are certain boundaries she shouldn't cross. My Standing Up For Yourself support pack may help you to get the message across without making her defensive. For parenting advice, you can contact (0808 800 2222).
