💨 Abstract

The TV show "Virgin Island" on Channel 4 has sparked controversy for its exploration of intimate experiences, with critics arguing it is exploitative. The author, however, sees it as a safe space for participants to explore their sexuality and tackle trauma. Each participant is paired with a therapist to build confidence and address issues related to intimacy. The show emphasizes emotional development over physical exposure, using blurs and camera cuts during intimate moments. While some sessions are uncomfortable, they don't constitute exploitation.
