Moment second Virgin Island participant who had 'never gone beyond kissing’ loses virginity to her therapist
Virgin Island season two ends this evening and will already exceed the first season of the show, as a second participant is set to lose their virginity in tonight’s episode.
In season one of the Channel 4 show, just Dave lost his virginity during the filming of the series, with Tegan becoming the first in season two to have sex for the first time.
For those living under a rock who’ve never heard of Virgin Island, it’s a reality series where a group of virgins are given literal hands-on therapy to try and overcome their sexual issues, by being intimate with their therapists.
In an exclusive clip provided to LADbible, we can confirm that a second participant on the TV show loses their virginity in episode seven, and it’s a virgin who has never so much as kissed someone before appearing on the show.
Advert
Spoiler warning for Virgin Island season two, episode seven, airing tonight.
The second member of this season to lose her virginity is Ellen, a childcare practitioner from Haywards Heath.
At 35 years old, Ellen is the oldest virgin on the show, and watching last year’s series, she realised she needed help.
Speaking exclusively to LADbible earlier this month, Ellen stated that she hadn’t realised that therapy existed for sexual issues until she watched Virgin Island.
She said: “I saw the therapy side of things and I thought, ‘Wow, I didn't even know that existed’, and I just wanted to sort of put myself out there.”
Prior to appearing on the show, she had ‘never gotten beyond kissing’, having been consumed by anxiety around intimacy.
After previous sessions with surrogate partner Kat Slade where she escalated their intimacy, even having her first ever orgasm by herself in one solo session, she felt ready to lose her virginity to Kat, saying it gave her ‘confidence’.
Defining losing her virginity as ‘orgasming at the hands of someone else’, she manages this in a one-to-one session with Kat, which you can see in the clip below.
Warning: The following clip contains graphic content.
Kat tells Ellen she wants the encounter to be 'pretty organic', asking Ellen to 'really direct me towards what feels good'.
As the session progresses, she advises Ellen to 'just relax and let your body be'.
Ellen is left in tears after their session, thanking Kat for helping her lose her virginity.
The strict rules Virgin Island cast members must follow
No contact with the therapists after the show
Dave, the only cast member on season one to lose his virginity, told the Daily Mail he was banned from contacting sex therapist Kat Slade again.
He said: “It was explained very clearly to us that you don’t stay in touch after – it’s sort of two weeks, and that’s it and then you move on.
“It’s not easy to just detach from feelings, but I think it’s an important lesson of it to like have those feelings and then let go of them.”
Do not enter other participants’ rooms
Cast members have to stay out of each other’s living quarters, but Ed, 27, from this season said it was ‘easy enough to follow’ since the cast spent 15 hours every day filming together.
One phone call per week
The cast members’ phones were confiscated when they arrived at the Obonjan Island Resort in Croatia, where they stayed for three and a half weeks.
However, they were allowed to nominate one family member or loved one to have a weekly phone call with while filming.
Ed told Wales Online: “We nominated a person who we'd want to talk to - I said my mum - and when we had a down day we'd get the opportunity to speak to them.
"It was really nice, but I think because everyone was so nice and I felt comfortable with everyone, I didn't feel like I needed that phone call because I felt I had a support group with me.
The final two episodes of season two of Virgin Island, episodes 7 and 8, will air back-to-back at 9pm and 10pm tonight (18 May) on Channel 4.
