COMMENT ON THIS STORY
A NEW Channel 4 reality show will feature a 40-year-old retired vicar being taught how to have sex . . . and enjoying his first romp.
Producers have sent him and three other virgins to an Amsterdam sex school.
The four novices will spend two months learning “the art of intimacy” in the sin city. They will be coached by a series of sex therapists who, at the end of the teaching period, will deflower the foursome.
Cameras will follow the entire process — including filming the final act.
The contestants are aged from 20 upwards.
The retired vicar — who has not yet been named — has been dubbed by producers as “the real 40-year-old virgin” — after the character played by Steve Carell in the hit movie.
The show is to be called Virgin School. An insider on the Zig Zag Productions programme said: “We will show as much as we’re allowed.”
He added: “There is nothing wrong with these guys — but they just can’t seem to get laid.
“One of them has just developed a phobia of female intimacy after he kissed a girl when he was young and got glandular fever.”
The source added that the show aimed to be educational. It is set to air in the New Year as part of a series of programmes exploring virginity.
Another show, called Losing It, looks at the different ways people use to lose their virginity including finding partners online.
C4 has already caused controversy with plans for a week of programmes on pleasuring oneself. The centrepiece will be footage of a sponsored event featuring hundreds of people publicly performing solo sex acts.
