Show 3 : Rea and Gary
Rea, 21, an aspiring model and bar-tender Gary, 26, have been together for two years. Right from the start of their relationship they have been a sexually experimental couple but recently things have started to go wrong.
They've spent hundreds of pounds on bondage gear and sex toys, but for Rea, the experimentation has grown stale. She feels Gary has become fixated on the sex accessories and they've lost their romantic and emotional connection. She also complains that Gary doesn't make her feel sexy and she'd like to feel special again. Having only had one previous girlfriend, Gary is much less experienced than the more dominant Rea, so he's keen to become more sexually confident. He'd like to improve his staying power and to know how to really turn Rea on again.

Tracey and Michael immediately enforce a complete ban on all toys, props and costumes. They're all for experimentation, but feel this couple needs to strip sex right back to the essentials and rediscover the intimacy they seem to have lost. Then to help Gary delay ejaculation, Michael shows him how to give his pelvic floor muscles a work-out and get his penis literally, lifting weights. He also teaches him 'The Lovers' Steeple', a pre-sex ritual he can practice with Rea to strengthen their emotional bond. Having observed their rather disengaged love-making on the CCTV footage, Tracey gets the couple practising some face-to-face sexual positions that allow for more eye contact and intimacy and with the help of a slinky, Michael shows Rea how to stroke Gary's prostate.

All toys and props packed away, Tracey and Michael leave the couple to it. The couple certainly seem more emotionally connected, but Rea's not taking to the pre-sex bonding rituals. While perfectly at home in head-to-toe bondage gear, being naked and looking in her lover's eyes is making her feel anxious and awkward. But there are positives...diligent Gary is progressing well with his internal work-outs, tension is dissipating and the couple are laughing more. Crucially, Rea managed to orgasm for the first time in six months, using just a bit of tenderness and the plain old missionary position.
