Plot Synopsis

Couples in crisis attempt to heal their sexual and emotional issues in an unconventional way, with help and frank advice from three experts: Dr. Yvonne Capehart, Pastor and Couples Counselor; Dr. Chris Donaghue, Sexologist and Clinical Psychotherapist; and Dr. Fran Walfish, Relationship Psychotherapist. The experts are joined by Danielle Stewart, who provides commentary and on-the-street interviews. In the first 15 minutes after intimacy, the body is flooded with oxytocins and endorphins enabling people to really open up and reveal the root of their problems. After receiving initial advice, the couples have sex on stage in front of live studio audience in a specially designed chamber called the Sex Box. The Sex Box is private, camera free and sound proof; it allows couples to focus on one another and their needs with no outside distractions. And when they emerge, the truth is shared. Each week three couples from a wide variety of backgrounds bring their pressing concerns to the show, and speak candidly with the panel of sexperts for the chance to reignite their connection. Couples seeking help from the experts include: high school sweethearts whose passion has flamed out after 14 years of marriage and four kids; a couple whose trust issues from a previous relationship have a negative impact on their intimacy; an open relationship with one partner wanting to make their sex life even racier, including S&M; a married couple whose preoccupation with baby making has changed their sex life for the worse; and a couple who actually has too much sex.
