Channel 4 looking for adult virgins to star in next series of Virgin Island

The hunt for virgins begins

The show, which has proven to be a smash hit, sees 12 virgins receive expert coaching from both therapists and intimacy experts in an aim to gain sexual relationships.

Virgin Island is designed to help young people who haven't had sex overcome their insecurities and fears when it comes to intimacy.

In a new casting call for the show's second series, Channel 4 have said they are looking for people who "need help and guidance with your fears and insecurities around intimacy and sex."

"Double Act Productions is casting adults for a potential second series of Virgin Island."

To take part, you have to be aged 21 or older, and you can apply here.

The cast spend time on a retreat in the Mediterranean, and this year's series saw only one virgin going all the way by the series end.

In the series finale, the 24-year-old accountant became the first and only contestant to lose his virginity as he entered the island’s ‘zen den’ with sex surrogate Kat.

The pair became intimate, with viewers left to hear what was going on as the camera cut away to picturesque shots of the island.

Viewers had a mixed reaction to the show, but the makers of the show recently defended its aim.

Speaking to the MailOnline, makers of the show explained that it gives viewers a realistic idea of what intimacy is.

Sexologist Celeste Hirschman described the relationship between the client and the surrogate as ‘authentic’.

“So one thing that can happen in a relationship is that someone has performance problems, and so they would just communicate about it and say, oh, you know, something’s not working here. Let’s take a break. Let’s try again.

“That authenticity is what actually prepares people to have real relationships out in the world,” she added.

She continued: “So it’s not just like trying to force something, and a lot of times surrogates do work with people who have pretty significant dysfunctions, and so they need to work with those kinds of things, both in their clients and if it comes up in themselves as well.”
