How to Build a Sex Room (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Sexy Vegas Glam Suite - full transcript

[light music playing]

[man] We're in a polyamorous relationship.

We have what we call our poly family.

-Oh, there's more of you?
-[man] There is.

Yeah. So in our family,
there are seven of us.

-Seven?
-Yeah.

-What is polyamory?
-Poly--

Polyamory, to me, is the freedom
to love more than one person.

Your love is not this finite resource.

You know, there's so much of it,

and you can choose
to do whatever you want with it.



Okay, and so the others don't live here.

No, and I don't currently live here.

-Okay, so they pop around?
-They come out.

-We have family weekends together.
-Oh!

This is why we want the bigger space,
so it could fit all of us here.

Okay.

I've never designed
for a polyamorous family.

It's not your traditional couple
where I get two opinions.

Now I'm going to be dealing
with seven opinions.

Oh my God!

Les has a fantasy. He wants all of us
to have sex together in a room.

-Okay.
-[woman] But there's just no space.

-Not this room?
-Yeah, not this room.

-No, not right now.
-Yeah.



What do you see in this room?

[woman] Big old bed.

[Les] We want a big bed
so that everybody can be in here

and play, or cuddle,
or just, like, love on each other,

and spend time, like, really together
in this intimate space with each other.

So seven of you?

-[both] Yeah.
-On a bed?

[both] Yes.

What are your fantasies?

Um… [laughs]

I have some pretty wild ones.

-Okay, bring it on.
-[Soriya] Okay.

I love anything
that has to do with, like, CBT.

-It means "cock and ball torture."
-I know.

-[Soriya] And ball-busting.
-Yeah.

And I have this, like, bukkake fantasy.

Okay.

Bukkake.

Either you know what it is or not.

And if not, then google it.

Or maybe not.

I have this other fantasy
where I'm just laying on the ground,

and all my people are peeing on me.
It's like a golden shower.

[light string music playing]

Of course, now I'm deeply intrigued.

-We can't engage in that with carpeting.
-[Melanie] Of course.

You've got carpet.
That's a no-no, isn't it?

So you obviously have
an inordinate amount of sex toys.

-Yes.
-[Melanie] Okay.

-Can I have a look at them?
-Absolutely.

-Thank you.
-[Soriya chuckles]

-[Les clears throat] Let's see.
-[Melanie] Yep.

-[Soriya giggles] The glass one's fun.
-[Melanie] One of my favorites.

[Melanie] Yes.

-[Les hums]
-[Melanie] Oh my God. The rabbit.

-Oh my goodness.
-[Soriya] Collar.

-Your collar. I know.
-[Soriya giggles]

-[Melanie] Fluffy handcuffs.
-The cute ones.

-[Soriya] They're super cute.
-Yes.

I don't need to be
buying them butt plugs, dildos,

introducing them to cock rings and things
like that. They have all of that.

-[Les] To keep everybody quiet.
-[Soriya] Ball gag.

[Les] There's more.

Oh my goodness.

Oh, one of my favorites, yes.

Spanky. [giggles]

This family, I'm certainly not gonna
have to push their boundaries

because they already have
pushed their boundaries.

[Les] There's three more drawers.

At one point,
they were organized by type of toy.

And without using the pun word,
it means you are sort of anally retentive?

-Just…
-[Melanie] Just a tad.

[Melanie] What's in here?
Oh my God. Is that…

-[Les] We have a cage.
-[Melanie] Dog cage or an actual cage?

[Les] It's a… It's a person cage.

It's a person cage?

-Well, yeah--
-It's a dog cage--

-It's a dog cage but for humans.
-Holds a human. Of course.

[Melanie] This may sound odd,

but for some people, cage play is really
just another form of dom/sub sexual play.

[electronic music playing]

[Melanie] In this case,
the submissive is literally caged up,

which forces him or her
to relinquish control over their partner.

For me, it's an opportunity

to include a beautiful piece of furniture
in this room.

-[Melanie] Show me the space.
-Sure.

-Out here? Okay, thank you.
-[Soriya] Okay.

The bad news is
they're going to need a lot more space.

The good news is actually there's
three rooms to work with down here.

Two bedrooms and a bathroom.

-So this next room…
-Yes.

-…is the bathroom.
-Okay.

And I'm super excited about the bath.

I know it's so tiny.

[funky music playing]

I want enough space that we can have,
like, a big, comfortable shower.

Yeah, I love the idea of being able
to wash all my humans.

I think that's one of my kinks.

There's all kinds of fun things
that can happen in a shower.

-[Melanie] Can we go upstairs and talk?
-Yeah.

-Absolutely.
-Let's do it.

-Let's go. Lead the way.
-[Soriya] All righty.

It's exciting for me as a designer

because I'm not having
to test their boundaries

like I do with other clients,

so I don't have to hold back on anything.

Let's go back just a little bit
to the polyamorous family.

I want to understand it more.

-Okay.
-Where does love play a part in this?

Does that mean you're in love
with multiple partners?

Love is love.

-There's so many different variants of it.
-[Melanie] Right. Of course.

[Les] I love Soriya the way I love Soriya.

I love my other partners
the way I love my other partners.

Right.

When we get together,
we do what every family does, pretty much.

We sit. We eat together.

We cook together.
We do yoga together in the morning.

We go on outings.
Like, we just went miniature golfing.

When does the sort of like
sexual activity happen?

-Whenever it feels natural.
-[Melanie] Whenever it feels natural?

Yeah.

So sometimes people
sort of wander off and disappear.

-We're like, "What's happening?"
-We sneak off to a bedroom.

Give me some idea
of some colors that you like

and, you know, what you see there.

We want to avoid the dungeon-y feel,

so we want, like, you know,
colors that are, like, sensual

and, like, kind of draw you in
but don't make it feel very bleak.

Maybe navy blues.

-That's my favorite color.
-[Melanie] Oh, it is your favorite color?

-Velvet.
-Ooh! I like that.

And then a big, fuck-off bed.

Or fuck-on bed.

[Melanie] Yeah, absolutely.

It's really fascinating,

and I'm really looking forward
to designing this room

and also meeting the other people as well.

[funky music playing]

This is gonna be a challenge for me,

but before I take on this design,

I'm going to need
to meet all the family members.

I think this is gonna be quite fun.

♪ Bring your friends… ♪

[funky music playing]

♪ Go on! Go on! ♪

♪ You're good with your friends
Your whole family ♪

♪ Distant relatives that only send you $5
At Christmas ♪

♪ It's cool, bring 'em on ♪

[music stops]

I trust Melanie.

I put all my trust in her
with this project.

We've never talked
about our sex life with anybody,

so the fact
that we opened up to a stranger,

you have to trust that person.

Our marriage is in her hand.

Yep.

-Oh my God. This is brilliant!
-Huh?

Oh my God!

[Mike] You ain't seen this yet, huh?
It's giant in here.

[Melanie] Look at this.
Now we've opened everything up.

Question. Do you have the tile
that's going to go in here?

Yes. Our accent tile?

Oh my God, yes.

-Oh, look at that!
-[Mike laughs]

-Oh my God!
-Isn't it gorgeous?

Makes me excited.

-[Mike] It's gonna look amazing.
-[Melanie] Gorgeous, yeah.

[Melanie] For Matthew and Shenika's
Vegas glamorous space,

brass inlaid tile will bring
a flashy opulence to the bathroom.

And the sexy, purple velveteen wallpaper
in the bedroom

perfectly delivers on the royal vibe.

[Spanish hip-hop music playing]

-Mel, where do you have us?
-[both chuckle]

[Melanie] I know. What do you think?

[hip-hop music continues]

-[Shenika] Oh, interesting.
-Fun world!

So the reason I brought you here today
is because,

Shenika, let's go back to that time
when I asked you outright

whether you'd had an orgasm.

Oh, I remember.

Yeah, and you said, "I think so."

But then I also found that book
about how to find your G-spot.

So this beautiful boutique store
has everything you will need…

[Shenika] Okay.

…to bring your desires together,

to help you get the climax,
and for you to find the G-spot.

-Nice.
-[Melanie] Yeah?

Yeah, I'm with it.

♪ I like it… ♪

[Melanie] Shenika and Matthew
are suffering

because they don't have sex that often,

but I think if Shenika
found sex more pleasurable,

they'd start to find the time.

♪ I like it… ♪

[Melanie] We are going to the area

which is all about clitoral
and vaginal stimulation.

Growing up in the South, you know,
we just never talked about sex in my home.

Did you talk about that growing up?

Talk about it? No.

-Just go out there and do it.
-[laughs]

♪ I like it ♪

[Melanie] So this is a little one.

So you would put this on your clitoris
or around the labia area.

-[vibrator buzzing]
-[laughing]

Darlings, there are
so many different vibrators out there

to enhance female pleasure.

This one is incredible.

First, you have
your classic massaging vibrator.

Okay, this is a low setting.

[jazzy music playing]

-Low?
-Yes! [laughs]

Oh! What is that?

Step two.

-She likes it.
-I might not need a husband.

Oh!

[laughs] I'm joking.

I'm gonna show you something
you could use with this as well.

-[Shenika] Okay.
-This will be for the both of you.

-[Melanie] All right?
-[Matthew] Mm-hmm.

-So you could put a sleeve on it here.
-[Shenika] Oh my God.

And you can use it together.

Okay. I'm trying to see
how this is gonna work.

-So the cock would go in here.
-[Shenika] Okay.

And then you would stimulate here.

Uh!

Feel it.

-Oh, wow.
-[Shenika gasps]

Is that something you would like to try?
How does it feel to you?

-New.
-[Melanie] New.

-Exciting.
-Yeah?

Yeah.

There are also suction vibrators.

I'm going to give this
and put it on your finger.

-I want you to feel how this works.
-[Shenika] Okay.

Now, these are little sucking devices
that you put over your clitoris.

-[Melanie] It's like a sucking machine.
-Okay. Yeah.

♪ 'Cause it sure feels good to me… ♪

And, of course, let's not forget
the most famous of all,

and that would be the rabbit.

So the thing is with this one…

[Shenika] Oh, wow.

…is it pulsates as well as vibrates.

Interesting.

♪ Sure feels good to me too… ♪

[Melanie] We've got
the vibrating rabbit ears,

and then you've got
the penetration as well.

Oh my goodness.

-I know. What do you think?
-[Shenika laughs]

This is amazing!

Two birds with one stone, you might say.

I'm trying to process
and take all of this in and normalize.

-And I'm like, "Look, this is normal."
-Totally normal.

[Shenika] This is
what we should be experiencing.

[Melanie] Absolutely.

There's a lot of belief
and thoughts and misnomer

about, you know, "I don't need sex toys."

But then there are some people
that they can't find that climax,

they can't find that orgasm,

and they need to bring in
some wellness toys to experience that.

I think that we've had a good time here.
I've given you a starting point, okay?

You can push it further, and you will know
once you've reached orgasm.

-No question.
-[Melanie] No question.

[pop music playing]

[song ends]

Polyamory is the idea and the lifestyle

that you can love more than one person.

[romantic music playing]

People assume
that when we get together as a family,

we're just having orgies all the time.

Yes, that can happen,
but that's not what poly's all about.

Throughout the family,
there's different levels of sexuality

and different types of sexuality.

There's gonna be some fuckery going on.

[man chuckles]

A lot of people have just sex,
but they're not intimate with each other.

We are, like, very intimate.

What sex is or isn't

can change in any individual connection
on any given day.

There's never any pressure for sex,
but it can happen at any given time.

Um… [laughs]

[all laughing]

Down, boy. Down.

No-a!

-[Arturo] It's right there.
-[Les] What's "no-a"?

-Hello!
-[Soriya] Hi!

Hey!

-[Soriya] Oh my God!
-You didn't tell me she has an accent!

Today, I've been invited
to Lester's house for a barbecue.

I'm finally gonna meet the entire family,
and I'm really looking forward to it.

-[Soriya] Do you want a drink?
-[Arturo] I have a water.

How did you all meet?

-Through Sori.
-Through Sori.

[all laugh]

-[Prince] I met Soriya…
-[Melanie] Do tell.

…in Vegas at a 2,000-couple swinger party.

Oh my God!

I met Soriya at a consent party,

and she dressed me in a nightgown,
and she kicked me in the balls.

-It was a crazy fucking…
-[Prince laughs]

I responded to a post
looking for a hiking buddy.

I knocked on the door,
and we never went for a hike.

She said, "I've had a really long day.
Can we go lay down and cuddle instead?"

-And so that's what we did.
-[all laugh]

[Melanie] Catherine, tell me your story.

So I met Les and Sori
when they were married, actually,

at a tantra speed-dating event.

I am sensing very much a theme here.
Yeah, absolutely.

I was like, "Are you sure it's okay
if I go on a date with your husband?"

Like, it was so confusing at first,

but I'm so, so happy
I went to that event and met them

because it's changed my life.

How do you spend your time together?

We like to have a lot of cuddle puddles.

-That's huge. I think all of us…
-Yes, I have heard about that.

…enjoy touch and intimacy like that.

We're just still looking for a place
where we can go

and, you know, relax and watch movies
and cuddle or anything else.

And what's your "anything else"?

[all laugh]

-I'm curious.
-Whatever mood strikes.

This family has
kind of redefined intimacy for me.

You know, growing up,

I thought intimacy meant sex
and that's it, you know,

and intimacy can look
a thousand different ways.

-Hey, you.
-[Prince] Melanie.

Hello, Prince.

-Finally.
-I know.

So, tell me, is Prince your real name?

It is, actually.

-Oh, it is?
-No one believes me, but it is.

Oh my God.

So what's your take
on what you would like down there,

just to have a tweak of an input from you.

At the end of the day,
as much as I love cuddling…

Yes?

-…I'm a kinky freak.
-You are? Okay.

-Oh my goodness, yes.
-Fine. Okay.

I grew up very sheltered.

-[Melanie] Okay, that's interesting.
-Very sheltered.

-[Melanie] Okay.
-Like half Amish, half Mennonite.

So I've come a little ways.

You've come…
Really, you've gone from there to there.

Yes. You know, I didn't truly
break out into my kinks until my 20s.

-[Melanie] Okay.
-But rope was the beginning.

And rope has always been my favorite.

[gasps] Ah!

I really love bondage.

So hard points around the room
for, like, suspension,

like hanging someone from the ceiling,
tied up.

-[Melanie] Yeah.
-♪ Talk to me good ♪

[funky music playing]

♪ I wanna know who you love… ♪

-Oh my God. This smells delicious.
-[Nathan] Yeah, cooking ribs.

What are your thoughts
of what you would like to see in there?

For me, the thing
that would probably be the most exciting

is, um, just a giant cuddle space.

-Okay.
-[Nathan] Really just to pile in.

You know, maybe watch a movie. Um…

Yeah, just really good,
all nice, cuddly and cozy.

[Melanie] Okay.

[Melanie] Okay, my darling.

Tell me a little bit
about what you want for the room,

what you see in the room.

Well, one of the things
that I really, really like

is, um, to shoot some videos.

Okay.

Like, I love, like,
shooting myself with my partners

and sometimes shooting other people.

Okay.

So, Arturo, he's almost like a voyeur.

Maybe being a voyeur, do you like
to hide yourself behind something

and maybe just have the element
of being able to view what's going on?

That would be amazing.

If I could just be in the background
and just, like, be shooting it. Exactly.

My mind's percolating. Yes.

-[Arturo] Yes.
-I've got it.

Yay!

There is a space in the room that I think
that I'm going to make it Arturo's,

where he can have a little peephole.

[funky music playing]

Thank you very much for all--

entertaining me, first of all,
for a barbecue.

And thank you very much
for feeding me lots of food.

[Soriya] You're welcome.

And also for letting me have a little time
with each of you individually.

There's lots
of different types of personalities

that I'm going to be working with
to bring the room together for you all.

-[Soriya] Hmm.
-I think you're up to it.

Oh, I think I'm very much up to it.
Yes, absolutely.

I think I'll have such fun doing this.

God, it's going to be an amazing sex room.

♪ Wild, and I can't be touched ♪

♪ So vile, and I can't be brave ♪

♪ Hot like a volcano ♪

♪ I'm about to erupt ♪

♪ Time, like I changed the game ♪

♪ Fly when you say my name ♪

♪ Hot like a volcano ♪

♪ I'm about to erupt ♪

[song ends]

[Melanie] Oh my God!

[Mike chuckles]

[sultry music playing]

Why am I always surprised when I see
my design work, and I'm like, "Shit!"

It's real life now.

-Have you felt this?
-[Mike] Yeah, it is gorgeous.

[Melanie] I love it.

[song ends]

This is perfect.

-Perfect.
-Do you want me to test this?

Yes, but be careful.

If you hear any cracking,

hit the deck, barrel roll out the way,
like, army style.

[funky music playing]

Remember, it's not… Oh! Ah!

Now you try.

Okay.

[Mike] It's a dance pole.

-I know. That's…
-[Mike] Have to get on it.

Put your butt cheeks, and rub.

[Mike hums]

Get your ones out, girl,
'cause it's about to get real.

♪ Pay me my money… ♪

[Melanie] Yum!

[Mike] Yum!

-Oh, yes!
-♪ Pay me my money… ♪

-Kind of like…
-Hello.

Ooh!

-[Mike] Make it rain up in here.
-Oh, yeah.

♪ So pay me my money ♪

When Matthew and Shenika
reached out to me,

their marriage was really at a crossroads.

The love was there,

but their intimacy
and connection just wasn't.

♪ Baby, when you're close to me… ♪

[Melanie] So this room
is not just about sex for them.

It's about slowing down
and disconnecting from the outside world.

I want them to rediscover each other,
both emotionally and sexually.

Hey. How are you?

-Hey.
-Hey. We're good.

So are you ready?

-We are ready.
-Okay. Let's go.

[Melanie] This will be
very, very exciting.

-All right. Let's go.
-[Shenika] Let's go.

If there's clothes and clutter, it just…

it kind of clogs your entire marriage,

and so we're hoping
that it's unclogged with this new room.

I'm excited to see
what Ms. Melanie put together for us.

-Okay, after you.
-[Shenika giggles]

[Shenika] Okay.

[slow pop music playing]

-[Matthew] Wow! This is…
-[laughs]

Oh my God! [laughs]

♪ Oh, darling ♪

♪ Ooh, yeah ♪

-♪ Tonight is all about you… ♪
-[Shenika shrieks] Oh my goodness!

Oh my God! I feel like
picking you up and kissing you!

♪ …for you, baby… ♪

[Shenika] Are you kidding me?

No, I'm not kidding. This is all yours.
Every single bit of this is yours.

This is freaking beautiful.

[Melanie] This room was full
of bulky furniture and mounds of laundry.

Utterly devoid
of comfort, luxury, and joy.

So I focused on rich textures,
sensual colors…

♪ Baby, baby, baby, baby… ♪

…and a fur-covered bed
that beckons to slow down,

crawl in, and let go.

♪ Sensual, sensual ♪

Oh my God!

[Matthew] Yeah, I'm crying inside.

Oh my God!

[slower pop music playing]

[Shenika] It is royal. It is purple.

[Matthew] Look up.

Oh my goodness.

[Shenika] Seeing that mirror
above our bed,

it definitely felt empowering.

I'm ready to get naked and look up.

This is sexy.

This is sexy.

-This is sexy.
-We are never leaving this room.

[Matthew] You know?

[Shenika] This is amazing!
Look at the decor, the freaking lamp,

the chandelier, the bling.

Yes, I'm in the mood!

Yes!

[song continues]

You know, it gets me in the mood.

I feel just a sense of,

I don't know, like a new woman.

I feel like a new woman.

Wow.

Take it in.

-Now, you'll see this here, okay.
-Wow.

Oh my… I didn't even… Oh my God!

-I didn't even know that was a pole!
-Wow.

[Shenika shrieks and laughs]

♪ Brazilian ♪

♪ Sure, you've got it
Lookin' like a million… ♪

I have a pole in the middle of my bedroom.

-That's going to be getting used, right?
-Definitely.

You cannot have a pole in the middle
of your bedroom and not use it.

Okay, so come over here.
I want you to see this part as well.

-[Melanie] You have your soaking tub.
-Oh!

[Shenika] Oh my goodness!

♪ Can't nobody do it like this

-This puts me in the mood.

Okay, that romance,
that connecting together.

[Shenika] This wallpaper.

-[Matthew] Oh my.
-[Shenika] Nice.

[Matthew] I love the gold.

And then look at your shower.

Oh my goodness!

♪ Let's go across ♪

♪ If I want it, I'mma throw it… ♪

Some days I'll be over here,
but if she's here, I'll be there with her.

Wow, look. This is crazy.

[Shenika] I do. Fun.

This is amazing.

And then just on the off chance
you wanted to try a little tie-up,

right behind you
is what we call a hard point

with some cord.

♪ Yeah, I love myself… ♪

[Melanie] Just bring your hands up here,
and pull them up there.

I'm gonna have fun with this.

-You are?
-Heck yeah.

I can definitely foresee doing that again.

Hmm. That's what I like to hear.

I don't even remember my old room.

I want no parts of that old room,

'cause that's old sex.

-[laughing]
-Old s-- No sex.

No sex.

-[Shenika] This room is bigger.
-♪ I see it in your eyes ♪

♪ You're preoccupied… ♪

[Shenika] Wiser, sexier.

You're an angel.

[Matthew] You are.

I don't know what else to say,
but that is what comes…

You are our angel for our marriage.

Thank you.

You are welcome, sweetheart.

I want to say to Ms. Melanie
thank you so much for coming to our lives.

And for saving our sex life, our marriage.

[song ends]

We live life in a very unconventional way,

and we have been forced
for a really long time now

to fit that unconventional way of life

into a very conventional space,
and they just don't always line up.

-Down here in the basement…
-[Mike] Yeah.

…are the three rooms we're doing.

-Three rooms?
-[Melanie] Yeah.

Okay. So here's our favorite.

-[Mike] This is the room of action.
-[Melanie] The room of action, absolutely.

These three small rooms
will never work for family gatherings,

so the first order of business
is to knock down the three walls

to create one large space
with plenty of room for group play.

-This whole wall's coming out?
-And this whole wall is coming out.

This is gonna be so sweet.

Here, they want a cuddle puddle.

[Melanie] The focal point of this room
will be the big bed I'm bringing in,

and when I say "big"…

No, no.

I mean really big.

Nine foot six.

-Nine foot six.
-Then it's coming out.

-I don't think you got nine foot six here.
-I have nine foot six. I have.

[Mike] Hmm.

-[Mike] What did you do to my tape?
-I didn't!

You touch it, it goes limp.

[playful music]

-Oh my.
-Give me.

Well, hang on a second. Hang on.

What do you think?

Golly, nine foot six. Look at you.

-Nice job.
-[Melanie] Yeah!

-So--
-Thought it would be in centimeters.

-Oh, Jesus.
-[laughs]

We'll have to put the bed on a platform,
but I want some pull-out drawers,

and I want to have a door here,

and then that's where
I'm going to put all the sex toys.

-Oh, nice.
-They have a lot of toys already. Um…

So they need a big place for--

They need a big place,
and it has to be organized.

Okay?

So this is the second room here.

[Mike] Okay.

They, uh, like golden showers,

so there's
a lot of bodily fluids involved.

-We need a drain in here so they--
-Hold--

Can I register that for a minute?

-You just throw these things out at me.
-I know.

You're like, "Take it all in.
No big deal. Make it happen."

-[Melanie] Yeah.
-I need a second.

All right.

-Okay.
-Are you sure now?

-Yeah.
-You got that?

-Yeah. Got it.
-Okay. All right.

Drainage for cleanup.

Drainage for cleanup, and that's why
I'll have tile on this floor.

Okay.

[Melanie] Here is the bathroom.

The idea in this room
is to rip everything out, okay?

-Okay. Big shower room--
-Like one big shower room, yes.

Multiple people showering
at the same time.

-Yep.
-You wanna wall this off?

Wall this off completely, yes.

Get rid of this door completely
so it's all closed in.

And then this is all glass,

so you will be able to see whatever's
going on in here from the next room.

-All the way through. Got it.
-We need to gut the whole thing.

-Well, that was easy.
-Oh my God!

♪ I unleash the beast… ♪

[laughing] Yes!

-Can we go to the next room?
-Let's go.

♪ This is why you don't mess with me
See, I'm technically best there ever be… ♪

-[Mike] Oh shit.
-[Melanie] Oh my God!

Oh my God! What have you hit?
We've hit the water?

We may have broke a toilet.

Glad we're not saving that.

It actually is opening up as we speak.
It's feeling much, much bigger.

Yeah, you can already see
all the way through.

Wah! Yes!

♪ We can do this all night ♪

♪ We can do this every day ♪

♪ Let the rhythm overflow
And when it's over, hit replay ♪

[chain rattling]

-[man] You pull on one end to raise it.
-[Melanie] Yeah.

Oh, I like that.

-I could use it in a dungeon, couldn't I?
-Could you now?

[Melanie]
God, I could put some restraints in here.

-Hold 'em up, then hoist 'em up.
-You could probably use it for that.

-[Melanie] I'm designing a sex room.
-Oh, really?

-A sex dungeon, yes.
-[man laughs] Wow!

-[Melanie] Yeah.
-Okay.

[Melanie] I need some chain.
I'm gonna be suspending some people.

Okay. Very good.

[playful music]

[Melanie] Look at this!

It already has hooks attached to it
because it's used for tying down.

Tying down?

[man laughs]

[Melanie] Prince tells me
he gets off on bondage most of all,

and there are a lot of ways
to bring bondage into a room.

So one thing I want to bring in
is a heavy-duty suspension system

which Prince could lord over.

-So do you think I can suspend a person?
-With that chain, no.

-Really?
-I don't think so.

We'd have to check
the load ratings on these.

Then I don't wanna risk it. I don't wanna
have somebody suspended up there--

[man] Don't wanna mess around with that.

There's this chain here.

-Ooh!
-[man] It is a bit darker.

-[Melanie] I love that rustic look.
-[man] It's a little darker. Yeah.

Could you hold it while I wrap it
around me? Would you mind helping me?

-Okay.
-Okay.

[Melanie] Hang on.

-Yeah, I think this is great.
-[laughing]

Yeah. I think ten feet of this
would be fabulous.

[man] All right.

♪ Ooh, I'm gonna love you like ♪

♪ Ooh, I'm gonna love you like ♪

♪ Ooh-ooh
I'm gonna love you like never before ♪

♪ You give me somethin' good ♪

♪ I can't ignore ♪

♪ Ooh, I'm gonna love you

[Melanie] Hi, guys.

I love this.

-[Mike] Right?
-[Melanie] It's gorgeous, yeah.

-I love how it looks.
-[Mike] Awesome.

-It's gonna be sexy.
-[Melanie] It's very sexy.

There is so much room.

You can get,
like, three times as many of us in here.

I know. Look, we could get one…
You go in front of me.

-Yeah.
-That will be… That's three.

-Here.
-That's three.

-And then I could do four.
-Yeah.

-Maybe one here.
-Then we can do five.

-Yeah.
-It's gonna be the best room in the house.

Yeah, by far.

There's the drain!

-This is fabulous. This is gorgeous.
-This room feels so different.

[Melanie] It does, yeah.

-I've got a Sybian going over there.
-What's a Sybian?

A Sybian… Think of it
like a saddle or like a half of a barrel.

-Okay.
-Then it has a dildo on top, penis shape.

-Oh.
-And so it does all the mechanics for you.

-And you've got a little--
-Adam, do you own a Sybian?

No, not yet.

[both laugh]

[Melanie] So a Sybian saddle.

I guess the best way to explain it,

imagine it's like
one of those mechanical bulls,

except this one has interchangeable dildos
that you can ride on.

Giddyap.

The things I learn
when I'm working with you.

I feel like I'm a closed, sheltered man,
but now I'm not.

I'm a free bird.

♪ Come on, when we ride, we ride ♪

♪ Push 'em up
Let me see you move side to side ♪

♪ Get up, get up
'Cause we're ridin' high ♪

♪ Took your time, never asked me why ♪

[song ends]

From our past relationships,

we know more now

that you don't reach a point
and then just coast on, you know, fumes.

You have to, you know,
nurse your relationship

if you want it to last
and if you want it to be healthy.

We all know what the divorce rate is.
We're two statistics right there.

-We've already been divorced.
-Hundred percent.

-It's not 50.
-Yeah.

[lively, upbeat music playing]

[doorbell rings]

-Hello!
-Hi!

-[Melanie] Hello! How are you?
-Hi! How are you?

Such a beautiful couple.

-[Meaghan] Oh, thank you.
-Oh my God.

-Oh my goodness, what a lovely place.
-Thank you so much.

We moved in here about a year ago,

so we're still in the midst
of remodeling a bunch of other things,

but it's starting to become ours.

[Dave] The whole house
is dedicated to the kids.

How many kids do you have?

-[both] Three.
-So we're a blended family.

I have two from my previous marriage,
and he has one from his previous marriage.

-You're sort of like figuring stuff out.
-[Meaghan] Yes.

How long have you been married?
How long have you been together?

We're not married.

You're not married.
That's fine. My mistake, sorry.

-[Meaghan] It's all right. Not yet.
-Two years in October, it'll be.

-Two years.
-[Melanie] Oh my goodness. How fabulous.

I was seeking, after my last relationship,

well, for starters,
definitely honesty and trust,

and it was really hard
for me to trust anybody,

but he just genuinely
made me feel very confident.

So you want a sex room.

Do you want to tell me why?

-Well, why not, first of all.
-[Melanie] Good to hear. That's great.

Why not? Absolutely.

We just want a space
that's not kid-related.

Our whole lives
revolve around our children,

so we would like a space
that's just for us.

-Would you like to show me this room?
-Absolutely.

-Please follow us.
-Let's go.

[Dave] The current space
is in the basement.

With three kids in the house,
our sex life is still good,

but it has to be just toned down
just a little bit.

[Meaghan] What's great about this

is that this is two floors away
from where all the bedrooms are.

It's basically soundproof
from where they are.

-Then it's the neighbors' problem.
-[both chuckle]

[Meaghan] So come on in.

-This is the space.
-This is our room.

This is pretty much how it was
when we moved in.

[mysterious music playing]

[Melanie] Oh gosh.
This is quite small, isn't it?

-[Meaghan] Yes.
-It's… cozy.

-It could be. It's not yet. [laughs]
-Sensual.

Yeah, so this really is
a sort of like blank canvas.

I mean, what do you feel
that you would like in this room?

What would your dreams be?

I'm sure you get people saying,
"I want a sex room,"

like they want walls of chains and dildos
and all that other stuff.

That is not at all what we're looking for.

[Melanie] I fully understand.

We're not turning this
into a dungeon. Okay.

-Don't worry.
-Exactly.

-[Dave] Is "spa-like" the wrong word?
-Yeah, spa-like would be, like, great.

[romantic music playing]

All right. So talk to me more
about textures and things like that.

-What do you love to feel? What do--
-Ooh.

[Melanie] What speaks to you
as being cozy and things like that?

I really wanna touch
those fuzzy balls on your shoes.

-You can touch my fuzzy balls.
-[Meaghan] Those are incredible. Yep.

-[Melanie] Do you want to touch them?
-[Dave] Yes, I do. Oh, that's fantastic.

I'm such a touchy person,

so I have probably 50 blankets
in this house,

and they're all different textures,
all super soft.

And what do you like?

We're very active.

We go hiking all the time.

Yeah, we camp, we hike,
we just go on adventures

and always try
to find something new to do.

-Sneak in a little one behind the rocks.
-Mm-hmm.

Yep.

[both giggle]

So you wanna
bring that outdoors into here.

-Lovely candles.
-We could do that.

-Yes.
-[Melanie] Sheepskin rugs.

-[Meaghan] Absolutely.
-Beautiful fireplace. That type of thing.

-I'm loving all that.
-Yep, yep.

It's, "Check, check, check."
That's all she's hearing.

♪ Touch me here, touch me there ♪

♪ Touch me everywhere, oh there ♪

All right. Let's talk a little bit
about the space out here.

[upbeat music playing]

Come on out.

[Dave] It's a big backyard,

but we don't really take advantage
of this "in and out" sort of dynamic.

[Meaghan] It's wasted
'cause we're never down here.

So I'm sort of like percolating in my mind
about things that I would like to do,

and to help bring the outdoors in,

and maybe incorporating
something onto the patio.

-Sure.
-I would like to talk to you individually.

-[Melanie] If that's okay with you.
-Sure.

Sometimes when I get my clients together,

they're embarrassed
to talk about their fantasies

or what they truly desire,
so I need to separate them.

What are your sort of like sexual desires
or your fantasies, as it were?

You know, nothing too extreme.
We're very, you know, more subtle.

I'll be the first to say,
"No, I'm not doing that."

You will never be pressured into anything.

[slow music playing]

[Melanie] With Meghan and Dave
not having distinct kinks,

this is going to be a challenge.

[Meaghan] Good luck.

[both chuckle]

It's very much easier for me as a designer

to design a room with clients
that have specific kinks or fetishes.

What am I gonna do?

So tell me what it is about this room
that would make it really special to you.

Well, I'm glad also
that we're talking privately

because one of my big plans,
with your help, is

I would like to propose to her.

Yeah.

So, yeah. So this has been
in the works for a year.

Oh my God!

I'm sitting on a ring,
just waiting to pull the trigger.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

It's not just, you know,
the interior space and the outdoor space.

I now need to add another layer
of dressing and detailing on this

to make it
as romantic a proposal as possible.

So let me ask you a few other things.

Who do you think
has the bigger sex drive here?

Uh… [laughs]

-Probably, yeah.
-Probably her.

She seems to wear the pants in the family,
so I'm getting an idea--

-She takes the pants off in the family.
-Yes.

-[Melanie] Oh my God. Oh my God.
-For sure.

Have you always had that sex drive,

or is it more
since Dave has come into your life?

When I was with my ex-husband,
I mean, sex was such a chore.

I was so beaten down,
and, you know, he really thrived on that.

Making me small made him feel bigger.

A big thing for me that I didn't realize

was that I had honestly
never, like, truly made love before.

And so I didn't realize that until we did,

and I was like, "Oh my gosh.
This is what it's supposed to be like."

When we're together and connect,
it's like I love myself,

but then he, you know, nurtures that.

I mean, I can be all dolled up,

or I can be at home,
and I can also be completely bare,

which is also something
that I don't think that we told you about.

But, yes, I have alopecia.

-Gosh, she looks really sexy.
-[Dave] Right!

Uh-huh. Bald is still sexy.

Alopecia is an autoimmune disease
that attacks your hair follicles,

so I don't have a single hair
on my entire body,

which isn't a terrible thing to have.
[laughs]

-Game ready, all the time.
-[laughs]

Whether she has a wig on or not,
she's still Meaghan.

She still is everything that I love,
and so…

Aw! So nice!

-Settle down.
-[both giggle]

-[Meaghan] I've got nine of these.
-Oh my God.

We were talking about
maybe we could do different wigs

and do different, you know, types of…

-You could do role-play.
-[Meaghan] Yeah.

You can help me practice
my accents and stuff.

I can practice. "Darling, fuck me."

[both laugh]

[sultry music playing]

Having relationships like we've had,

it's one of those things where,
if you don't keep putting in the effort,

things will just start falling off
along the way.

This room would help avoid that.

-Mm-hmm. I agree.
-Good. Love you. [chuckles]

I love you too.

Oh my God. I wish I could kiss you both.

-[both laugh]
-I'm just like, "Oh my God!"

♪ Come and get it ♪

♪ My back is up against the wall ♪

♪ I'm waitin', waitin' for your call ♪

♪ You say, you say you wanna go ♪

♪ Yeah, come and get it ♪

♪ You know you want it ♪

-[Mike] That's the Sybian--
-Yes, she's here! [chuckles]

[Melanie] Oh my God. Okay.
Come on, let's get her out.

For most of my career,
I've been looking for a client

who would really appreciate
a Sybian chair.

I think the family
might just be that client.

Plug and play.

Oh, hello!

-But I haven't got my flaps on.
-[Mike] Hold on!

Turn it off.
I haven't got my flaps on properly.

[machine continues whirring]

[Mike laughs]

-[machine whirs]
-Don't you--

[both laugh]

-These are attachments.
-[Mike] Attachments?

[Melanie] Yes.

-Okay, leave it there. Hold on!
-Now try it. Okay.

[vibrating]

[Mike laughs]

[Melanie] The family's snuggle sanctuary

is finally rounding the corner.

-Isn't this gorgeous?
-Oh!

They didn't want a typical dungeon space.

Oh my God! Perfect.

So I designed something very, very elegant

so that all seven of them
can get off on their fantasies.

This… is a fucking beauty.

That is hot-rod red right there. Whoo!

However, there was one dungeon toy
they really wanted.

-That freaking color is fantastic.
-Isn't it?

-[Melanie] Just lift it up.
-Can you get in there?

Absolutely. Are you kidding?

-[Mike] Shag your ass on in there.
-[Melanie] I am.

I got them a custom bondage table
where they can enjoy cage play.

[Mike] Yep. Yeah.

All right. See ya!

-[Melanie] Don't do that!
-[Mike] Good luck!

Darling, I need your help!
