Yes, this is real. People have sex in a box and then experts sit with them and discuss their issues. The first of which, I'd assume, is that they think having sex in a box on a nationally televised reality show can somehow help their relationship.
If you thought Naked and Afraid was too hot for TV, how about couples having sex in a box? That’s right — a box! WEtv has ordered a one-hour pilot of Sex Box, an adaption of the hit U.K. show of the same name.
The series is pretty much what its name suggests: It invites real couples having relationship problems to enter a soundproof box to have sex. Immediately after, they address their issues with a panel of experts. According to the cable net’s description, “This ‘in the moment’ approach fosters conversations about intimacy that are completely filterless and emotionally honest.”
“Sex Box is an intriguing and original concept from a top production partner and we’re very excited about its potential, which has already been clearly demonstrated overseas — where it’s a hit,” said WE tv President Marc Juris. Watch a full episode of the U.K. version on YouTube. (It probably goes without saying, but the video is NSFW.) Deadline first reported the news.
