"I never thought I'd be jealous of a man. But watching him look at Dave... that was a new fear." – Sarah. Episode 2: "The Virgin Swingers" Premise: This episode features Tom and Lisa , a nerdy, introverted couple in their late 20s. They have only been with each other since high school. They want to "open the cage" but are terrified of the flight.
Lisa is a size queen (interested in larger anatomy), while Tom has performance anxiety. The couple is mismatched with Ryan and Chloe , a hyper-fit gym couple who are loud and confident.
The episode abandons individual therapy for a social experiment. Can eight people (four couples) have a simultaneous orgy without drama?
This episode is somber. Maria feels she has "already cheated" because she had a boyfriend while Alex was deployed. Alex wants to swing to "even the score."
This episode sparked massive viewer mail. Critics called it "psychological torture," while fans called it "cathartic." Notably, Brad and Jenna broke up three months after filming, but Brad credited the episode for finally letting go of his rage. Episode 4: "The Power Dynamic" Premise: A lighter episode focused on BDSM and roleplay within swinging. Mark (40) and Chrissy (24) have a "Daddy Dom/Little Girl" dynamic. They are paired with Robert and Diane , a "Master/slave" couple in their 50s.
