A couple who took part in a 'sex experiment' tried their first threesome, but it ended in tears and almost caused them to split, they say. The pair took part in new Channel 4 show Open House: The Great Sex Experiment but it almost caused them to split, which gives couples the chance to open up their relationships to new sexual experiences and see if their relationship can survive while being sexually involved with other people.
Nathan and Mady from Swansea entered the experiment to have their first threesome and see if they could open up their relationship to involve a third sexual partner, reports WalesOnline. Originally it was Mady who was most worried that her jealousy would ruin the threesome experience, however it ended up being Nathan who felt left out.
After meeting Precious at a social at the luxury retreat where the experiment is taking place, they invited her to stay the night in their bedroom. Nathan had high hopes, saying: "It's going to be so good, more women, more pleasure." But he did not enjoy the experience.
He felt left out and like a "spare part" and when Nathan did not want to get involved, Mady said to Precious: "It is a shame we can't go off and leave him to sleep."
Nathan told Mady: "You've made my first experience a bad one. You purposely made me feel like a spare part. Your biggest fear about being the odd one out, you've put that on to me." causing Mady to leave the bedroom crying. The next morning things were still very tense between the couple leaving Mady in tears again as Nathan told her he didn't know if the relationship was right for him anymore.
After speaking to Dr Lori, the relationships expert at the experiment, both agreed to talk more openly about their feelings and make sure that everyone feels involved. Mady said: "I feel so bad, we were so focussed on my jealousy, how I was going to think, we didn't really take the time to think about how you would feel."
They decided to give trying having a threesome another go and invited another girl Grace to join them for the night. This time with more communication the threesome was a success and Nathan and Mady left the resort feeling ready to open up their relationship.
Since the show Nathan and Mady have joined an online dating app and continued having threesomes, saying they are "stronger than ever". Open House: The Great Sex Experiment airs on Channel 4 on Friday, April, 1 at 10pm.
