Reality TV fans were left cringing after watching a couple try and 'fail' to have a threesome on an X-rated TV show that aired in the UK.
As if reality TV shows like Love Island and Married At First Sight weren't juicy enough, the UK stepped things up a notch with its show titled Open House: The Great Sex Experiment.
With a title like that, viewers were naturally curious to learn more and so were introduced to a couple named Nathan and Mady, who wanted to see what it would be like to have a threesome.

During the show, viewers watched as the couple invited a woman by the name of Precious into their bedroom to put their curiosities to the test.
Ahead of their encounter, Nathan made his excitement clear as he said: "It's going to be so good, more women, more pleasure."
Cut to the event itself, and Nathan seemed much less enthusiastic.
While Mady and Precious seemed getting on like a house on fire, Nathan ended up feeling left out.
At one point, Mady was even heard saying: "It is a shame we can't go off and leave him to sleep."
It clearly was not the pleasurable night Nathan had been expecting and the whole experience caused huge issues in the relationship, with Nathan saying he was unsure whether he and Mady were right for each other.
"You've made my first experience a bad one," Nathan said. "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."
Though clearly unable to switch off the show, viewers took to X to reveal that they weren't exactly comfortable watching the failed threesome unfold, either.
In a post on X, one person said: "This is the most uncomfortable I've been
watching a TV show."
"I actually have secondhand embarrassment watching this basic threesome play out," added another.
A third commented: "Damn I feel bad for Nathan. Same thing happened to Ross Geller when Carol and Susan had a ‘threesome’ in the what if episode."
However, while it seemed like Nathan would be put off threesomes for good, he did manage to get back in the sack when he and Mady patched things up and tried another threesome with another woman, named Grace.
Thankfully, this time they had a much more successful experience. Second time's the charm, I guess!
