In each episode, we follow one person who has agreed to go 40 days without having sex. The rules are strict: petting, oral and manual gratification are all forbidden. Kissing is allowed, but watch out…
Celibacy begins the moment the participant comes into his own bedroom, which the host and the participant’s best friend have emptied of everything associated with sex. During this room-raid, condoms, lubricant, dildos, porn magazines, racy lingerie, and address books all disappear into a special box. Once the participant has recovered from the initial shock, it is up to him to decide if all this stuff can stay or if it should be removed from the house as a precaution. The 40 days have begun.
We are also treated to a portrait of the participant, which is interspersed with the room-raid. This expose consists of photos, home video footage, and quotes from friends and the participant himself. Together with the stuff uncovered during the room-raid, this provides a juicy summary of the participant’s sex life up until now.
Once the host is gone, the challenge begins. We follow the participant in his everyday life, starting with his first night out on the town. Will he succeed in resisting temptation? How much fun is a night out without sex? And what happens when the cameras are gone? |
