A man who has gone viral for vomiting after being told to let his partner sleep with another lad had spoken out about the huge change he experienced in the bedroom.

The couple in question, Tom and Lauren, appeared on Channel 4’s controversial dating show Open House: The Great Sex Experiment.

For those unaware of it, the show involves monogamous couples finally taking the plunge to try an open relationship. They do this by entering a house full of sexually liberated polyamorous people and oftentimes sleeping with them, shown in graphic detail on the show.

Tom vomited after being told by a non-monogamy expert that, after his orgy on the first night, the best next step for their relationship was for them to engage in a couple swap, and both sleep with the other members of a couple.

Speaking to The Sun however, Tom has lauded the positive effects his experience on Open House had on him in the bedroom.

Prior to the show Tom and Lauren had tried opening up their relationship, however were met with one major issue.

The 32-year-old man wasn’t able to perform in the bedroom when they tried to bring someone else in.

They’d tried multiple times, leading Lauren to say of the failed attempts: “Tom just didn’t feel comfortable naked. While the couples were amazing and I was a lot more open, Tom just wasn’t.”

Despite a hard adjustment to the show that saw him throwing up at the idea of swapping partners with another man, it led him to be able to overcome the erectile dysfunction issues the pair said were holding back their relationship.

He said in his chat with The Sun that speaking to the show’s non-monogamy relationship expert Effy Blue in part helped him overcome this, helping him open up to swinging with Lauren.

He said: “Once I was in my head about not being able to perform, that’s where it would all go wrong, and then it would become difficult to do what I wanted to do.”

The pair on the first night brought five women back to their bedroom and Tom was able to overcome his erectile dysfunction.

The following night, despite his initial worries about it, he was able to overcome his bedroom anxieties and engage in a couple swap.

Speaking about the effect of the show, the pair have continued swinging and attended multiple parties, with Tom saying: “The show has opened my eyes and it’s helped me massively to have the motivation to make changes.”

Tom went on to add: “Lauren told me afterwards that she thought that the show was going to break our relationship.

“Instead, it’s made me realise that I do really want this type of lifestyle. I like the after effects like cuddle and the stories.

“Plus, it’s a way for me to learn new things to bring back to our bed.

“Our sex life now is so good. I didn’t imagine this would happen…. It’s brought us closer together. It’s really given us our spark back.”
