Man vomits before his girlfriend sleeps with another man in bizarre experiment
A Channel 4 sex experiment show has left viewers shocked as committed couples agree to have sex with other people to see if they are willing to have a polyamorous relationship
A Channel 4 reality show has left viewers stunned - and some reaching to turn off the TV - after a contestant vomited while participating in a bizarre sex experiment that saw his girlfriend sleeping with other men.
In the latest explosive episode of Open House: The Great Sex Experiment, Tom and his girlfriend Lauren signed up to explore non-monogamy in an attempt to reignite their relationship - but the reality proved too much for Tom to stomach, quite literally.
The controversial show, which airs on Channel 4, invites committed couples to a luxurious countryside retreat to test the boundaries of their relationships by experimenting with open sex - all under the watchful eyes of cameras and sex therapists.

Touted by the show as a bold dive into 'one of society's greatest taboos' - monogamy - Open House has become one of the broadcaster's most talked-about series, following in the footsteps of the equally provocative Virgin Island, which was slammed by some viewers as 'creepy' and 'uncomfortable'.
In one episode, Tom and Lauren were advised by non-monogamy coach Effy Blue to try spending time independently to see how it would impact their bond. But things quickly turned from awkward to distressing.
Despite Lauren's pep talk - 'Don't be nervous. You absolutely got this' - Tom looked pale and anxious as she reassured him about the day ahead. Moments later, he was seen rushing off camera to vomit in the bathroom.
'This is going to be horrible,' he admitted. 'I feel absolutely petrified and sick.'
Lauren, hugging him from behind, gently urged: 'All that anyone can ask is that you just try, okay?'
Lauren had been the one to suggest they experiment with other people from the outset. Speaking to the camera, she said: 'Yes, it's throwing me and Tom in the deep end... but for him to have the confidence that we can go off, have our fun, and come back to each other at the end of the night - it's insane.'
But viewers weren't convinced - many taking to social media to question both the format and the wellbeing of those taking part.
'I'm no prude, but this is unnecessarily graphic and getting away with it by being 'educational',' posted one user on X. 'Grow up, Channel 4. Full of exhibitionists.'
Another wrote: 'Tom needs help and support - he shouldn't be anywhere near this show. #OpenHouse.'
'Honestly feel bad for Tom,' added one viewer. 'He needs counselling, not cameras in his face.'
A fourth branded the episode 'so awkward to watch,' while others said Channel 4 was simply pushing boundaries for shock value.
Tom had opened up about bedroom issues in the episode, explaining he struggled 'to get it up' due to performance anxiety. But later on, his worries passed as both he and Lauren had sex with different people in separate rooms at the same time.
Open House: The Great Sex Experiment is available to stream now on Channel 4.

Big Brother star ordained as a deacon after turning to the church – 20 years on from finishing runner-up on reality show
A BIG Brother legend has finally been ordained as a deacon after swapping fame for the church. Series seven runner-up Glyn Wise, 37, has been working towards this moment for five years after time spent in China made him reconsider his life. 4 Big Brother's Glyn Wise has formally recognised as a deacon Credit: Twitter 4 Glyn's ordination ceremony was inside St Asaph Cathedral Credit: Glyn Wise 4 Glyn found fame on the reality show back in 2006 Credit: Channel 4 Last month he graduated from Bible College where he spent three years studying for a theology degree. Five weeks later, he is officially a vicar. Today, he confirmed the news, writing on Instagram: "This is Rev Glyn - I'm coming to get you! "Day 1 as an official Rev! Hard work, praying & studying has paid off - 'With God all things are possible' Math 19: 26. "Looking forward to follow in the footsteps of the disciples in the book of Acts, spreading the good word across the nations!" Glyn shared a video from his ordination ceremony inside St Asaph Cathedral, North Wales, as he was made a member of the clergy. The work of a deacon focuses on spreading and serving the Church in poor and marginalised communities. Glyn's next stage of training to become a priest will see him based in the Aled Mission Area around Old Colwyn and Betws yn Rhos, according to the diocese of St Asaph. He has already completed a 770km pilgrimage to the iconic Santiago de Compostela in Spain, believed to be the burial site of the apostle St James, as part of his faith journey. DIVINE INTERVENTION Religion has always played a big part in Glyn's life and previously told how he "prayed my way onto Big Brother". Speaking on This Morning in 2022, he said: 'I grew up in a religious family and I prayed my way onto Big Brother. Pete, Glyn and Victor appear on Big Brother 5 as they reunite 17 years after show "I was asking God can you please just get me into Big Brother. 'I was 16 thinking there must be so much more to life, life is so predestined, school then university and I wanted something so different for me. 'Big Brother was what I wanted and it changed everything.' Previously, he told how he counts Hollywood actor and Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds as one of the congregation at his local church in North Wales. After dropping out of the limelight, Glyn went on to have a normal life, heading to university two years and becoming a teacher. He then decided to go travelling and ended up working in Shanghai, China, where he 'got rid of the Glyn from Big Brother tag'. With Christianity growing at a massive scale across Asia, Glyn embraced his faith and decided to train as a vicar once he got home in 2020. He previously opened up on what his course entailed and said: 'I'm learning theology, going into depth about the Bible and learning how to cope with people, because you're not only the vicar, you're someone to listen, you're a psychiatrist, you have to help sort people's lives out and spread the good word. 'So there's a concoction of stuff that you need to learn before you become a vicar.' Despite sporting a very different look now, Glyn says he still gets Big Brother fans coming up to him in church — and he will often weave his past into his sermons. He said: 'I've got a beard now, I've shaved my head, I'm a man not a boy, but yeah, there's conversations about Big Brother that still come up. People come to church and are like, 'I really loved you when you cooked that egg'. 'And I'm like, 'Can we talk about Jesus Christ now, the Saviour?'. 'But I feel like when you've lived a good life, you've got a lot to talk about when you're up in the pulpit doing a sermon.'
