Sex Box

Alf Stewart.

So I was watching the telly the other evening with the other half, when this show came on called "Sex Box" on C4.

The gist of it being, a couple (could be mixed or same sex couples) basically enter a sound proofed box, have a root, then talk to the two tv presenters in front of a live tv Audience of what they got up to, how it felt etc etc etc.

Trailer here.

I noted with amusement the Irish guy on it on Monday evening who described himself as an "Irish Catholic" admitted to indulging in kinky sex with his Danish chick, including her taking a pee on him during a "golden shower" in a hotel in Paris. Good on ye Ciaran! (I'm guessing the Irish mammy was cringing though)

But the thing that takes the biscuit for me is how most of the couple's that emerge from the box, dressed in gowns and still sweaty from the shagathon sessions, kiss the tv presenters, on the cheeks, and/or the lips...... Then mid interview, usually admit to just having performed "oral sex" while in the box......

So...... The Welsh tv presenter (Steve Jones) just kissed some scantily clad bird, full on, on the lips, only for her to reveal that she's just been "chatting on the mic", or Goedele Liekens. (Belgian I think) getting a smacker from some bloke (or Sheila) only for the partner to exclaim they "had a magic tongue"

Mmmm. Fish and cheese.....

Not sure it'd be for me tbh.

Think I'll stick to the privacy of me own for walls.

Poll added.....

Would you shag in a box, in front of a live tv Audience? Yes or no?

If you were presenting the show, would you be kissing people who've just gave blowjobs, our had been eating sometime out??

Let's hear it.

It sounds grim beyond belief.

This is not like you Alf.

Mr.Crinklewood

Thought the same sex couples would avoid the box ( male ones anyway )

Thumbs down. Bring in the lions.

Is this instead of Big Brother or I'm a Celebrity?

I hope they don't take one of the cooking progs off.

Poor Steve Jones...

No I wouldn't. I'd be scarlet for myself. And besides, afterwards I'd just want to spoon and take a nap. No interview for me.
Though seriously. Even if me and the luckiest man stay in a hotel and are a bit eh, loud, I'm pure paranoid leaving the room the next morning incase we run into any room neighbours. Never mind going on tv and broadcasting the whole lot

Truly, we have reached the pinnacle of Reality Television.

Unless we go to dying "live" in front of a studio audience - not much of an aftershow though (allegedly).

Embarrassing bodies has got to be the absolute worst show for reality tv.
Oh look, I'm too embarrassed to go to a doctor in private but let's go on a tv show and see if I can cure blue waffle.
F'ing idiots

I'm disappointed with C4, this has far more of a Channel 5 bang off it.

Something like this was done before wasn't it?

I dont know if it was done before but there used to be a show on E4 years ago called "your face or mine". Jimmy Carr was one of the hosts.

Anyway a couple would come on and there would be guests which were their friends, family etc.

So if the woman's sister came on as a guest, the woman's bf would have to guess who he believed that the audience would say is better looking, the sister or his own gf. This would continue with the couple comparing each other to friends and family.

The last question was when they were asked to decide together which one of the couple was better looking according to the audience, the bf or gf. Often they felt that they were the better looking one opposed to their OH. It was pretty awkward and tacky but it did have some funny moments.

The pinnacle will be a glass box.

Can't see the point of it other than plain voyeurism.
How long before the "celebrity" version?

Wait til Keith Duffy is presenter.

Watched this last week for the first time. Found it incredibly dull and boring. Won't watch again.

Is the theme tune to this show Tom Jones singing "Sex Box, Sex Box, You're my Sex Box?"

If not then it should be.

Maybe I am getting to old, but this is just ridiculous, how much more lower do we go to try and bring entertainment into our homes, What ever you do in a private capacity is fine with me but this sort of ****e shouldent be on TV, IMO.

Gutter TV, the big brother moronic generation should love it .

I'll stick to watching David Attenborough docs and Better Call Saul ...

Sounds good. Disappointed I never saw it.

Ironically shows how conservative a society we have.

fatknacker

Smutty, tacky, British sh1te.

Who approves this garbage? People trying too hard to prove they're DEFINATELY NOT PRUDES. That's who.

So people fvck in a box then talk about it. Edgey

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I found a pair of knickers on the bus... I wouldn't say we were conservative

At this stage they may as well go full on close up sweaty porn with mickeys an fannies and be done with it. That's the ultimate payoff. Then again when that stuff is a click away on your computer or phone, there'd be little or no shock value anymore. Unless it was on the Antiques Roadshow or somesuch.

mansize

Yes. C4 did do it a few years back.

What? Gogglebox is one of the best and funniest shows on tv?

They actually watch 'Sex Box' on it last week and most of them thought it was rubbish.

Gogglebox is awful. Can't understand the appeal with it.

You get to know the characters on it and some of their comments are hilarious.

Do you see the lot , or is it just the top half you see ?

The people who take part in these shows are vain beyond belief. It's like the celebrity sex tape. When you hear that there is one on the go, you just know that the celebrity in question has a massive tool ! They're so proud of it that the film it and accidentally/on purpose let the tape leak for all to see e.g. Colin Farrell.

smurgen

You know I've noticed there's a correlation between boring people and sex.people who try to be sexy, like being seen as risqué, talk about it too much, they're normally have **** all else going on in their empty heads.

Yeah didn't Colin "Be Jaysus" Farrell upload the video himself and flood facebook and twitter with links to it ?

I'm more interested in what it represents than actually watching it.

There was time when nations only had a few channels and everyone talked about the same thing, "did ya see such and such last night on telly?".
Some ground breaking taboo would have been broken in some soap and from then on you could almost feel everyone at the same time getting it.

There was a sense a national observance that's completely dissipated since, everyone can now pursue their own current media consumption independent of schedules.

In a way gogglebox feels like a parting ode to a nation watching the same programmes at the same time. When people watching telly is telly then it's over and we can only watch with nostalgia for a time gone.

I got rid of TV over a decade ago and am only exposed to it again because I'm fixing up my mums old house. When we move on again telly will be gone from our lives again.

Actually I found an old eighties set in storage, took out the tube and wiring and am going to put a fishtank into the TV box. Says it all really.

My father said something very similar to this to me a while ago.

I remember dying to go into school on a Tuesday morning so we could all reminisce about the new Father Ted episode shown the night before. But also even just family jokes about characters that you all knew, things like that.

My oh watches Countryfile every Sunday. It was like a routine in his house growing up and he said Sunday just doesn't feel right without it.

This really is a new low. I've heard reality tv described as the modern equivalent of the Victorian freak shows, and this programme fits right in to that.

I corrected that for you.

Where does reality TV go from here.
We have had the sex guide programs, the embarrassing bodies program, the dating shows for disfigured people, the guy with the massive balls, etc.

It is akin to the old freakshows where people get to gawk at the risque, the helpless, the less fortunate.
All the better if it involves sex organs.

Oh wait haven't they already done a show about the current elephant man as he tried to get his tumors removed.
Granted that poor guy had an excuse as he was really poor and not from someplace with widely available free western healthcare.

Sad that this what TV has degenerated into.
