Couples are to have sex in front of a studio audience for the first time in a new Channel 4 programme called Sex Box.
The couples will be shielded from view in an opaque, sound-proof room attached to a studio, and will emerge to discuss their experiences immediately afterwards with a panel of sex experts
The aim of the show is to promote honest and open discussion around “real sex” in light of the explosion of online porn.
The volunteers include a gay couple in their 30s who hope to shatter myths about gay sex, and a heterosexual couple in their early 20s who think people do not talk openly enough about sex.
After their time in the sex box, the couples will talk to agony aunt Mariella Frostrup, psychotherapist Phillip Hodson, sex and relationship expert Tracey Cox and US sex columnist Dan Savage.
The programme will form part of Channel 4’s Campaign for Real Sex Season, The Independent informs.
