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.

This is how we do it: ‘I prefer sex with someone who has erectile dysfunction'
I respect Jeremy's opinion and life experience and he makes me feel cared for The fact that Jeremy is older is a turn-on for me. He's a similar age to my dad, my elder, and I respect his opinions and life experience. He makes me feel cared for and listened to. Sometimes he reads to me or shows me classic films that his parents introduced him to. He's my best friend, my lover and a father figure. We met on an online forum when I replied to his question asking if the British Wildlife Centre was a good date idea. We shared contact details, and I quickly opened up to him. I'd been in an abusive relationship in my late teens and hadn't had sex, or even dated, in the six years after that. The first time I went to his house, I was terrified but excited. Jeremy was adamant we weren't going to have sex, but I wanted to show him my body, so I stripped for him. It felt incredible to be touched after so long. We began meeting weekly to have sex when his partner was out. Jeremy made it clear from the beginning that he was in a polyamorous relationship; we can talk to each other about anything, and there's no judgment. My parents are conservative Muslims, so I've never been able to confide in them or ask them for advice. The emotional intimacy we lack, I quickly found with Jeremy. I call him my 'cool dad'. But, in the beginning, I felt a lot of guilt, as if I was doing something wrong. Jeremy doesn't need to come to experience pleasure, so there's more emphasis on more on how we connect emotionally Our relationship is open, and I've been seeing someone else for six months, but he doesn't know about Jeremy. I used to tell the people I was dating, but those relationships didn't last, and I found that being poly shrinks your dating pool. Sex with Jeremy is completely different to the sex I had before. It's gentle, loving and mutual. My ex was a porn addict, which shaped the sex we had, whereas Jeremy doesn't watch porn. To have good sex, I now think it needs to be with someone who doesn't watch porn and who has erectile dysfunction, which takes the pressure off penetration. Jeremy doesn't need to get hard or come to experience pleasure, so there's less emphasis on making either of us orgasm and more on how we connect emotionally. I also don't experience jealousy. But I can feel insecure. I worry about being left for a monogamous relationship Being polyamorous, I've been with about 40 people, but at the time I met Laila, I wasn't expecting to meet anyone new. She came out of the blue. The age gap means she doesn't really feel like my girlfriend. My primary partner, with whom I've lived for more than 13 years, is like my wife (though we're not married), whereas with Laila it's very different. One of the reasons I'm polyamorous is to have different dynamics with different people. For me, there would be no point in having the same feelings for another person that I already have for someone else. One of the reasons I'm polyamorous is to have different types of relationships, different dynamics with different people In the same way that parents can love their children equally, I don't have a limited supply for my romantic partners. I also don't experience jealousy. But I can feel insecure. I worry about being left for a monogamous relationship, which has happened previously. Last year, Laila was seeing a man she said was like me, which made me think she could get the same thing from someone better than me, younger than me. I'm slightly disabled – I have advanced arthritis and a long-term back injury – so we can only have sex with Laila on top. I have problems with impotence, but Laila likes it when I don't get fully hard. She also likes older, plump men (I have a 42in waist). Sex with Laila is magical, almost spiritual. There's a very intense emotional quality to the sex we have. Sometimes we take psychedelics or MDMA, which increases the intensity, physically and emotionally. We feel extraordinarily close and in love. Laila comes over about once a week. We spend hours in bed kissing. I lost my job a few years ago, so sometimes I go into town and meet Laila on her lunch break, and we'll just sit on a bench and kiss.

‘Bi-curious, cuck': Ex's brutal view of Diddy
An ex girlfriend of Sean 'Diddy' Combs has told a New York jury the star described himself as polyamorous and into 'voyeurism' as he liked to watch his partner sleep with other men. But she thought of the star more as a 'cuck' and someone potentially with repressed bisexual leanings. Giving testimony anonymously in Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial on Tuesday, US time, 'Jane' also said that she loved the music mogul but he did at times beat her. Also on Tuesday his legal team scored a victory with a possible witness now not allowed to take the stand. Combs has denied all the charges against him. Jane, who dated Combs up until his 2024 arrest is the second witness at the musician's trial to give evidence while keeping their identity secret. This is usually because of the sensitivity and personal nature of the evidence they are giving. Earlier, his ex-staff member 'Mia' also gave evidence alleging Combs raped and physically abused her. ' I would use the word cuck' Jane told the jury on Tuesday that Combs had told her he was into 'voyeurism' to explain why he enjoyed watching his female partner sleeping with male sex workers, reported the New York Post. But 'I would use the word cuck for him, more so,' she said. Jane explained that she had looked into the term, derived from 'cuckold,' which means a man who has an unfaithful wife. 'I was just trying to deep-dive all the reasons why [cucks] derived so much pleasure watching their woman be with other men'. She added that cucks 'could also have a lot of bi-curiosity that they're too ashamed to experience themselves, so they use the woman to venture out in this curiosity instead of actually doing the act themselves'. Polyamory Combs' lawyer Teny Geragos asked Jane 'What term did he use?' to describe his sexual proclivities. 'Polyamorous,' Jane responded. At first she said, she didn't mind as she assumed polyamory would mean all his partners would be treated 'evenly'. But Combs began to frustrate her when appeared to favour one woman and that 'looked like a monogamous relationship', she said. Another ex, Cassie Ventura, had earlier said at the trial that drug-fuelled sex sessions where she would have sex with male escorts were called 'freak offs'. But by the time Jane took part in them they were called 'hotel nights'. Teny Geragos, a lawyer for Combs asked Jane if she tried to be sexy for the Bad Boy Records founder during their 'hotel nights'. 'I don't think I tried, I think I did, and I was,' Jane responded. 'Because you're a beautiful woman,' Mr Geragos said. 'Thank you,' Jane replied. 'Do you love him?' Jane was also asked by the defence if 'you love him currently' referring to Combs. 'Yes,' said Jane. Previously, Jane had said Combs choked, kicked and punched her and then expected her to have sex with a male escort the same night. Before the forced sex-session, the mogul pressured Jane to take an ecstasy pill, saying, 'take this f***ing pill, you're not gonna ruin my f***ing night' and then told her to start having sex with the sex worker, despite her objections. The alleged incident was claimed to have taken place on June 18, 2024. That was a few months after Combs' homes were raided by federal officers in March and a few months before he was ultimately arrested in September for allegedly coercing women to have sex with male sex workers. On Tuesday, Combs' defence team scored a small legal victory when the judge overseeing the trial said prosecutors could not call a psychologist back to the stand. Dr Dawn Hughes testified earlier in the trial for the government. The defence team had hoped to bring back Dr Hughes to explain why domestic violence victims stay with their abusers. She could have helped blunt the defence argument that many of Combs' accusers could not have been fearful of the star because they remained either in a romantic or work relationship with him after his alleged attacks.

Why don't my wife's affairs bother me?
Q. After more than 20 years of marriage, my wife had a brief sexual dalliance with a family friend. Since then I've been shocked to discover that I find the idea of her with another man both excruciatingly painful and extremely arousing, and she has had a few liaisons with other men, each of which I have known about. Is it perfectly healthy to accept that I find other men desiring my wife very erotic and she loves the validation of being desired? Or is this the beginning of the end for our marriage? A. This is a really complex question that on the surface challenges the concept of marriage being synonymous with fidelity. Dig a bit deeper, though, and it is really about why you choose to tolerate a situation that a majority of other people would find completely intolerable. Yes, it is true that a growing number of couples seem to be embracing polyamory and open relationships, but the story you tell does not fit that narrative. Your wife made a unilateral decision to have sex with a family friend and, when you found out about her betrayal, you were hurt — but you were also turned on. What happened next made things even more confusing. Because you didn't at any point hold your wife to account and seemed, in one sense at least, to enjoy the experience, she has felt at liberty to repeat her behaviour several times. What strikes me is how emotionally distant you are from what is happening. In my experience, most men would feel deeply humiliated in your situation. Perhaps you are in all other respects a very alpha person and your response to your wife's behaviour is an inversion of who you really are — it may be a clichéd sexual trope but there have been numerous exposures of very powerful men who enjoy being humiliated during sex. You ask whether it is healthy to accept that you find other men desiring your wife very erotic but that question is in itself a distortion. Yes, lots of men enjoy the envious glances they get when they are out in public with a desirable partner, but only because they know that their partner is not going home with any of them. Anything that is taboo can heighten sexual arousal — it's how and why porn is so successful — but within the confines of a marriage it could make for a pretty exhausting and risky relationship. You wonder whether tolerating this situation might be a way of licensing yourself to explore other sexual relationships in future. In all honesty, unless you and your wife come to some sort of agreement about what this is really all about, I doubt you will have a future together. If you want one, you need to figure out how you got to where you are now. That requires you both to be honest about what your relationship was like before your wife's extramarital sexual activity. Did you love each other? Did you like each other? Did you feel emotionally connected? Did you have regular sex with each other? And what changed after 20 years? Could her behaviour be a bid for recognition, an attempt to get some sort of response from a man who no longer 'saw' her? Are these flings really her way of trying to find a new partner to move on with? Are you both actually considering an exit strategy? These are difficult questions and it will be much easier for you to find the answers if you have the support of a good couples therapist. This may be the beginning of the end for your marriage but, whatever happens, it is a turning point. Send your queries to
