Couple to Throuple

-If you were given the chance at non-monogamy in paradise,

what would you do?

I'm Scott Evans, and I will be your guide on a journey for love

unlike you've ever seen before.

For the next month, four curious couples

will be given the unique opportunity

to turn that fantasy into a reality.

-I've never been on a date with three people.

- You know what I'm saying? - Me either.

-I'm bisexual, and he's more of a

"don't knock it till you try"-sexual.

Yeah.

-It's kind of like our first time dating as a couple.

- We make a good team. Let's go. - Check.

-Every few days, they'll invite one of 14 open-minded

singles to throuple up with them in the resort...

We would like to invite...

Wah-wah.

-...with a bed big enough for three.

Y'all alright in there?

They'll be helped along the way by an expert...

-I'm gonna test your threshold in watching your partner

get intimate with your chosen third

-...to get their poly on. -Whoo!

-Man, I keep having these uncontrollable boners.

-Can he say that? Like, can -- -Yes, I can.

-Can we get some lube, lube, lube?

Can you use your mouth?

That is an order.

Last night was a workout.

-Last night was the fucking workout, girl.

-Will they commit to life as a three?

Will you be my girlfriend?

I just got chills.

-The compatibility is off the charts so far.

-Or will this experience reveal that the throuple life

is not for them?

-At the moment, I don't see how sex works.

-Jealousy relates to a person detecting a threat.

-I'll see you two bonding without me,

and it's like, "Ohh."

-Tension -- you can cut it with a fucking knife.

Shit's about to get real.

-Have you done something alone with him?

-What I'm saying is that, why wasn't it a group decision?

-I felt a connection, but, you know, it was more

towards me, not you.

I'm tapped out.

-Last night was just, like, a shitshow.

Whoa!

**

**

Check it out.

Can you believe this? -No. This is so cool!

-Unbelievable. -Oh, my gosh, this is beautiful.

-My name is Dylan. -I'm Lauren.

And we're Dylan and Lauren.

-Mmm! -Mmm! So excited.

We've been together now for seven --

Seven total years.

Yeah, we've been married for two years,

just had our anniversary here recently, so --

What a great way to celebrate.

Yay.

One year into our marriage,

we had our first threesome experience,

and it brought us that much closer together.

-Yeah. -So that was the main reason

why we want to see if the polyamory world is for us.

-Are you ready? -Yeah. Are you ready?

Let's go. -This is lit.

**

-* Whew, looking so good * -This is amazing.

-Hey. -Hello.

-What's up, you guys? -Whoa!

-Sean and I have been together for going on four years.

-Well, yeah. You might as well just say four.

-Yeah. Going on four years is the same thing as four.

-Alright. -How'd you guys meet?

-Uh, how everybody else meets -- club.

I thought he was cute,

but I didn't really pay too much into it.

-First thing I noticed was, "Shit, she got a fat ass."

And now we're here.

Can he say that? Like, can --

-Yes, I can. -Okay.

-* Taste the spice dripping off your lips *

-What got you interested in doing it?

Um...

-We always get random people approach us like,

"Hey, I think you guys are, like, hot.

I would love to hang out with you."

And, you know, at first, I was like, "Wait, what?"

As far as poly, it's more so we need someone to help

bring out that emotional aspect that we lack.

But this is a serious thing. This is not a game.

This is four years of our relationship that,

in a sense, is on the line.

**

There's people already here.

-Hi! -Hey!

Oh, hello!

-Hey. Dylan. -Dylan. Rehman.

-Nice to meet you. -Yes.

-Dylan. -Ashmal. Nice to meet you.

I'm Ashmal. -Uh, and my name is Rehman.

So, we met maybe a couple months prior to COVID.

So we got to do, like, a few cute dates out and about

and then we quarantined together

and we luckily survived that. -Oh, dope.

-So, here we are. -Brought you guys closer.

-I like to describe our relationship

as a couple as being the Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

He is Ryan Reynolds,

the handsome, comedic one of the relationship.

And then I'm just the beautiful one.

-Like, we've leaned into every experience.

-Yeah. -And, like, moving together

all these things, I was like, "This is the perfect next step."

-Yeah. And if there's anyone that I feel comfortable with,

like, taking risks, especially in a relationship,

it's this guy because we are so confident in our relationship.

I think it's gonna be hard for us to find somebody

that can enter this relationship.

I would actually like somebody

who can kind of just take control for both of us.

It would make me feel a lot more comfortable

that they're gonna be open to entering

our relationship as a third.

-See, I'm kind of the opposite. I kind of do want someone

who's figuring it out with us, you know?

-Oh, my God. -Like, I don't want to play

by their rules 'cause obviously

whatever they were doing didn't work, now they're here.

So, you know, like -- Right? -Obviously what we were doing

didn't work, either, or why else are we here?

Oh, whoa!

-I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

Bada-bing, bada-boom, baby.

**

Ahh! Hello!

-Howdy. -Hi!

-From the day we met, it was just uncontrollable desire.

How did we meet, babe?

-It was in college. We were at a party,

and I was trying to make somebody else jealous.

And he was there.

Got her number and a kiss.

Our anniversary's tomorrow.

-How many years? -Nine years.

-Damn. -Nine years.

Wow!

-Yeah. We're not married or anything.

-You're not married? -No.

We're just riding this wave,

and we're going to see what happens.

-Hell yeah. -Yeah.

**

-Aw, shoot. What is up, everybody?

Yeah. How you doing? How you doing?

I'm Scott Evans. I will be your host,

your guide through this experience.

Look at everybody looking all good.

Wow. Welcome to paradise.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-This is a place where anything can happen.

Mm.

-And the stakes couldn't be higher

because you've all been asking yourselves the question,

"Has monogamy been holding us back?"

Maybe even, "Are we better as a throuple?"

-Maybe. -But then there's also

the real possibility that this lifestyle

isn't necessarily for you.

Are you better as a couple,

or you discover the person standing next to you

doesn't have desires that align with your own

and that maybe you go your separate ways?

**

Right? This is a safe place

for you to dive into that question headfirst.

Cheers to headfirst.

-Now, I'm here because I've had my own experiences

with ethical non-monogamy.

Right? But it's not just me.

I've got one of the best people in the business here with me.

Shamyra Howard is a love and relationship expert.

She's a therapist.

She is ready to help you dig in to this journey.

-How's it going? -We're doing good. How are you?

-I'm doing well. Thanks for asking.

Thank you, Scott! Oh, my goodness.

-We've definitely needed an expert for a very long time,

so I feel like we're in good hands.

If anybody can make it work,

it's probably gonna be an expert at this point.

-Has any one of you -- individually, as a couple --

dabbled in polyamory or had any polyamory experiences?

-Corey and Wilder? -Like a pinch.
