People have had a lot to say about Channel 4's shocking new reality TV series Open House: The Great Sex Experiment, which saw sexy singletons and committed couples come together to open up their relationships and test out polyamory.
While Channel 4's bold programming isn't new (see: Naked Attraction), viewers were shocked when the explicit show aired after Gogglebox on Friday.

The six-episode series produced by Firecracker films aims to promote sex positivity and eliminate the taboos associated with sex and polyamory.

In episode one, viewers watched as couple Jess, 24, and Thom, 33, welcomed contestants to their unique retreat.
Curious couple Nathan, 25, and Mady, 19, and married couple John, 35, and Danielle, 35 arrived in the hopes of trying out an open relationship. Joining them were singletons Lewis and Grace.
Relationship therapist Dr Lori Beth Bisbey was also on hand to guide the couples along on their journey.
People who found themselves tuned in to the new series quickly took to Twitter to discuss what exactly they were watching.
