Watch awkward moment man stops orgy with three women after getting stage fright on Open House The Great Sex Experiment
AN awkward moment on Open House saw a man stop a wild orgy with three women after getting stage fright. The Channel 4 show sees monogamous couples move into a house alongside 'sexperts' and explore having an open relationship. 3 3 3 However, one participant, Simon, struggled as he put a stop to romping with three women. He entered the retreat alongside his fiancé Chris, to explore whether they're attracted to women. While Simon looked visibly flustered, one of the women gave him a drink of water. He said: "Might just be a bit of stage fright, part of it is also... there's a lot going on. "I'm just, like, processing everything at once. This is something very new for me." Viewers previously slammed a mum-of-six for "making a fool" of her husband. Amy attracted the ire of horrified fans for passionately kissing a woman in front of her hubby Claude in a hot tub. Amy had told the cameras how she previously enjoyed a polyamorous lifestyle and wanted to return to it despite hers and Claude's monogamous marriage. Claude admitted he had always stuck to one partner and was struggling with the idea of seeing his wife with someone else. But despite his obvious reservations, Amy wasted no time in snogging a woman called Georgie in front of him while sitting in a steamy hot tub. Awkward moment mum-of-six 'makes a fool out of husband' on Channel 4's The Open House in bid to SAVE their marriage A fan penned: "Amy, if you end up on your own with 6 kids I'll have no sympathy." Another commented: "Amy's mocking her husband." And a third said: "I think it's unfair that Amy entered into a monogamous marriage and now wants to change the rules AND for her husband to be happy with that, when he's clearly not." Someone else remarked: "Amy just wants a way out of the relationship, making a fool of her partner." Despite Claude's reluctance to get on board with the idea, Amy told the cameras that she believed he was only closed off to polygamy because it is "not what society dictates". But another viewer blasted: "No Amy he is not holding back cos society tells him it is not normal, he is holding back cos he doesn't want to do this!" things have become awkward during the school run.

Moment woman breaks down after begging boyfriend for an open relationship backfires
A WOMAN bursts into tears at a sexy party as the reality of an open relationship leaves her overwhelmed - despite begging her partner to explore it. In tomorrow night's episode of Channel 4 's Open House: The Great Sex Experiment, which sees couples take steps towards non-monogamy Essex girl Sharmayne's fantasy doesn't go to plan. 5 Surrounded by glamorously dressed couples and singletons, Sharmayne, 26, admits to her husband Jamie, 29, that it's all a bit too much. She tells him: "I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed." He responds: "Do you want to take a little break?" The pair head outside for some fresh air and Sharmayne immediately becomes tearful. She says: "I just feel overwhelmed. It's just a bit much for me, the whole situation." Showing compassion, Jamie reassures her: "We're not obligated to do anything. This is our journey." Sharmayne continues: "I'm just uncomfortable." Their Open House future is left hanging in the balance with Jamie asking: "Where do we go from here?" Confused Sharmayne says: "I don't know if I'm going to be able to hold myself together now. "I really don't want to do it. I just want to go home." Her reaction to the unconventional world of swinging isn't unusual on the show. Often one or both parties in a relationship are left grappling with their emotions as their significant other hooks up with third parties. Last week, non-monogamy expert Effy Blue suggested couple Tom and Lauren get intimate with other people. After returning to their room, Lauren told Tom: "Don't be nervous. "You absolutely got this." Lauren admitted it was her idea to take part on the show - saying she felt like they had been "thrown in at the deep end". She told the camera: "But to be able to have him to have the confidence that we can go off, have our fun, come back to each other at the end of the night and it's absolutely insane." Things got too intense for Tom, who retreated to the bathroom to be sick. The narrator then said: "But the thought of flying solo entirely naked isn't sitting well with Tom." 5 5 5 Tom could be heard vomiting in the toilet and looked distressed. He confessed: "This is going to be horrible,' to which Lauren replied: "I just want to cuddle you." Tom added: "I feel absolutely petrified and sick." The week before, there were more tears when couple Alana and Alex had a threesome with another woman called Georgie. After the deed was done, Alex struggled with how intense Georgie and Alana's connection had been. He could be seen silently crying in bed as his girlfriend fell asleep.

In an exclusive first look, obtained by MailOnline, the pair head to their first social event as a couple to see if they can find anyone suitable for them. After chatting to some of the residents as a couple, they separate and go off to chat to others as individuals. However it seems that Sharmayne isn't comfortable with her man talking to other women as her 'jealous' side comes out. While Jamie talks to another couple, Sharmayne grabs him and tells him: 'I want to step out.' She adds: 'I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.' He asks: 'Do you want to take a little break?' Sharmayne adds: '... of the situation, yeah.' The couple head outside and Sharmayne starts crying. She tells her husband: 'I just feel overwhelmed.' 'It's just a bit much for me, the whole situation.' He tells her: 'We're not obligated to do anything. This is our journey.' Sharmayne confesses: 'I'm just uncomfortable.' In an exclusive first look, obtained by MailOnline, the pair head to their first social event as a couple to see if they can find anyone suitable for them Jamie asks her: 'Where do we go from here?' to which Sharmayne tells him: 'I don't know.'

It comes after a man was sick after being told he has to let partner sleep with another man during last week's episode. One couple who appear on the instalment, Tom and Lauren, were keen to spice things up a bit in the bedroom.

Tom (pictured) is heard being sick in the toilet after he is told that he has to have a separate experience away from Lauren Effy told viewers: 'Today is about challenging Tom to be independent.

'You absolutely got this.' Lauren told the camera: 'It was my idea. It was my idea from the start. 'Yes it's throwing me and Tom in the deep end... 'But to be able to have him to have the confidence that we can go off, have our fun, come back to each other at the end of the night and it's absolutely insane.' The voiceover said: 'But the thought of flying solo entirely naked isn't sitting well with Tom.' Tom can then be heard being sick in the toilet and Lauren runs to him with some water. 'This is going to be horrible,' Tom confessed and Lauren replied: 'I just want to cuddle you.' Tom said: 'I feel absolutely petrified and sick.'

I want to watch my girl flirt with another man as it really turns me on but I worry she's too shy
DEAR DEIDRE: The idea of watching my girlfriend flirt with another man really turns me on – but I think she's too shy to do it. She has promised she'll give it a go for me. But it's been months since I asked, and it still hasn't happened. She says she hasn't had the opportunity yet. We've been in a relationship for a year. We're both in our late 20s. She didn't have many relationships before me, and is a very quiet, sweet person. To begin with, she was into vanilla sex and wasn't very experienced. That didn't bother me as it made me feel special. And over the course of our relationship, she's really become much more adventurous. We play sex games and have enjoyed role playing. She will dress up in school uniform, and I'll pretend to be the teacher. I find her incredibly sexy, and I know lots of other men must envy me for being with such a gorgeous girl. What I'd really like is to see other guys chat her up and watch her flirt back, knowing that it's me she's coming home to bed with. Then, as we have sex, she'd tell me every detail of the encounter. She'd describe what it would be like to have sex with them too. I can't stop myself from fantasising about this. When I asked her to do it, she seemed surprised, and yet she agreed. Dear Deidre After Dark- Understanding open relationships But we go out and she won't leave my side. And when she's out with her friends she comes back and says nobody chatted her up — which I find hard to believe. Is she telling the truth or does she not want to do it? Am I wrong to ask? DEIDRE SAYS: Wanting to watch or hear about your girlfriend flirting with other guys is a type of cuckolding. It's possible she hasn't done it because she's shy. Or maybe it simply makes her feel uncomfortable – like she's being disloyal to you. She might worry you'll feel jealous or stop trusting her. Remember, this is your sexual fantasy, not hers. It may simply not turn her on. She said yes to please you, but carrying it out is a completely different matter. If you care about her, you won't want to make her do anything that she doesn't enjoy. Perhaps, instead, you could talk about this fantasy in bed in an imaginary way. Ask her to invent scenarios and men. You might find this is just as much a turn-on – and it's risk-free. See my support pack, Sexual Fantasies And You, for more advice. THANK YOU FOR... HELPING DAUGHTER STOP SELF-HARMING DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN I discovered my 11-year-old daughter was self-harming, I was so anxious. I already knew she was neurodiverse and had problems expressing her emotions, but realising she was cutting herself – and at such a young age – was terrifying. I was scared she didn't understand the seriousness of what she was doing, and that she could really hurt herself. And I realised I had no idea how to help her – and that made me feel like a failure as a mother. Desperate, I reached out to you. You were so understanding, explaining that often people self-harm as a way of relieving internal pain they cannot communicate. I appreciated your advice to give her lots of reassurance and hugs, so she knew she was safe and loved. We've since been in contact with the mental health charity for children, Young Minds ( who are also talking to her school. She seems happier and has not self-harmed recently. Thank you, Deidre, for your kindness and for taking the time to listen and advise. DEIDRE SAYS: Young Minds is a great charity, which can help you access trained therapists and psychiatrists. I really hope things continue to improve for your daughter. TEENAGE TROUBLES DEAR DEIDRE: I AM heartbroken because my ex-boyfriend didn't even care when I was in hospital. I thought he loved me but it seems what he said was a lie, and I feel like I've wasted years on him for nothing. We're both 18 and met at school. We were together for two years. He wouldn't let me be friends with other boys, and when I did well in my exams, he wasn't happy for me. I had a car accident and he didn't even come to see me. I've now broken up with him, but I can't get over him. DEIDRE SAYS: First love is so intense, but I promise in time you will feel happier. This guy sounds controlling and selfish, and you deserve so much better. Be kind to yourself and try not to contact him, so you have time to heal. My support pack, Mending A Broken Heart, will help. CONTROLLING HUSBAND WON'T LET ME LEAVE HIM DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER years in an unhappy marriage, I've realised my husband is a narcissist and our relationship is toxic. I've asked him for a divorce and he can't accept it. He is love bombing me like he did at the start – sending apologetic messages and saying how good we are together. But I know none of it is true. We've been together for 20 years and have two children. I'm 46 and he's 48. Over the years, he's become increasingly nasty when he doesn't get his way. He's controlling and puts me down. He made me believe my friends and family didn't care about me, and one by one I've lost nearly all of them. I believe he likes seeing me lonely and depressed. My eyes have been opened. I can see our marriage wasn't built on love, but on fear, and I've had to change myself so much that I now feel completely empty. He's made me so dependent on him that I was afraid he'd leave me. So if I stood up to him, he'd threaten divorce. Last time he did it, I called his bluff and said divorce was what I wanted. Now he says he can't live without me, and it's not fair to the kids if we break up. Can you help? DEIDRE SAYS: It's natural to feel scared and sad. You're grieving the marriage you wished you'd had, and your husband has destroyed your self-esteem to the point that you no longer believe you can manage without him. But you can build yourself back up. Talking to a counsellor or a trusted loved one will help you maintain the confidence to consider and even move forward with leaving him. Getting away from this toxicity would certainly help you and your children thrive. You need support. Don't be afraid to reach out to your estranged friends and family who probably miss you and worry. My support pack, Abusive Partner, has details of organisations who can help you. MEDS DESTROYED MY LIBIDO DEAR DEIDRE: PRESCRIPTION medication has really helped my mental health, but it has destroyed my libido. As a result, I haven't had a sex life for several years, and I don't even masturbate any more. I'm a 30-year-old guy. My last relationship was when I was 24. I've suffered from depression on and off since I was a teenager. Luckily, I found a really good doctor who put me on antidepressants and anti- anxiety drugs that allowed me to function normally again. I've got a good job and social life, and feel pretty stable. The only thing missing is a relationship. I'd really like to meet someone again, but I don't know how I could. What woman would be interested in me, if I have no desire to have sex with her? Should I stop taking the drugs for a while and see what happens? DEIDRE SAYS: Some antidepressants, such as SSRIs, are known to affect libido and sexual function. But it's never a good idea to stop taking your medication without a doctor's advice, as you might have unpleasant or dangerous side effects. See your GP – there may be a different medication that won't affect your sex drive. Or you could be ready to be weaned off altogether. In the meantime, when it comes to meeting someone, remember the best relationships develop from friendships. Take time getting to know women as friends so that when you're ready for sex, you're with someone understanding, who likes you for yourself.

Watch the moment overwhelmed husband wipes away tears after partner romps with another woman in Open House threesome
AN OVERWHELMED husband wiped away his tears after his partner romped with another woman in an Open House threesome. Alana and Alex are one of the pairs taking part in the programme, which sees couples explore the idea of an open relationship. 6 6 6 Last night on the show, the couple were in their bedroom preparing to be visited by a female resident, Georgie. The couple hoped that they could take the next step towards their ultimate dream of a couple swap by having a threesome first. Alana confessed: "I don't know how this is going to go seeing Alex with another woman." But she said although it was a huge step for her - it was for him too because he might be with another woman. Alex then opened up to the camera and said he was worried about how Alana might feel to see him with someone else. However, he hoped that they had an amazing experience. While Alana stated that it would be devastating if anything went wrong with the threesome. Once, Georgie arrived the three started to fondle each other and Alex appeared to be have joined in. But it wasn't long before Alex felt excluded by the intensity between the two women. And as the lovemaking between the two women escalated, Alex retreated to the side line. Opening up our relationship saved it, now I don't have to worry about my man cheating on me Alex explained: "I think i felt overwhelmed because it went from a zero to a hundred. "And it caught me off guard really. "I can't quite match that just now." Later, after Georgie left, his wife said that she had loved every single minute. What is an open relationship? An open relationship means having more than one sexual partner at the same time. Both parties in the relationship agree to be non-exclusive and one or both parties engages in sexual activities outside the relationship. If one or both parties engage in sexual relationships without an agreement, this would be classed as cheating. Other names for an open relationship are polyamory and consensual non-monogamy. She then asked Alex if he enjoyed it to which he replied: "I loved seeing you enjoy it." After his wife then snuggled up under the duvets to go to sleep, Alex was left musing. And as he sat up in bed tears fell from his eyes as he admitted he was unsure if an open relationship was what he wanted. 6 6 6
