Steve Carell as the 40-year old virgn

 

 

 

A new Channel 4 reality show will feature a real-life 40-year-old virgin - and audiences will see his introduction to the joys of sex.

Producers plan to film a retired vicar - who has not yet been named - being taught how to have sex and cameras will be there to capture the moment when he puts what he has practised into action.

Producers have sent him, along with 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 and the retired vicar has been dubbed by producers as "the real 40-year-old virgin" after the character played by Steve Carell in the hit movie.

An insider on the Zig Zag Productions' programme, titled Virgin School, said: "We will show as much as we're allowed."

According to The Sun, the producers are claiming that the show is designed to be educational. An insider told the paper: "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 developed glandular fever." The programme promises to be a real-life version of the film The 40 Year Old Virgin, which came out last year. In it, nerdy virgin Andy Stitzer, played by Steve Carell, finds the pressure mounting on him to have sex for the first time when he meets an attractive single mother.

The show is set to air in the New Year as part of a series of programmes exploring virginity. Channel 4 has recently caused controversy with plans for a week of programmes about masturbation. The centrepiece will be footage of hundreds of people pleasuring themselves in public.

Good lord.. Don't they have any GOOD ideas anymore? This is getting ridiculous.. Why does every little aspects of life have to be shown on TV? Next thing they do is a reality show about people pissing in the shower because they're scared of sitting down on a toilet seat full of bacteria.. Gosh..

 

And how can anyone PARTICIPATE in this? I can't imagine anything more embarrassing than being shown as a scared, old virgin having to be forced to have sex..

Channel 4 sparks outrage with The Virgin School

 

By PAUL REVOIR, TV Correspondent Last updated at 22:00pm on 1st December 2006

 

Channel 4 sparked outrage yesterday after it was revealed it is making a new show which will feature a male virgin being taught how to have sex.

The man, who is aged in his late 20s and has never slept with a woman, will visit a sex school in Amsterdam, where he will spend three months learning "the art of intimacy".

The new show will see the man lose his virginity to a sex therapist and producers of the show are claiming they could even show some footage of the man having sex.

The Virgin School, as it has been titled, is part of a series of programmes about virginity lined up for next year, which will also look at the different ways in which people lose their virginity.

A series of programmes about masturbation is also being lined up for next year.

News of the programme comes in the wake of claims by the man who launched Channel 4, that the broadcaster had become fixated with sex and "adolescent transgression".

Jeremy Isaacs, who was the broadcaster's first chief executive when it went on air in 1982, claimed the channel had dumbed down to chase ratings, abandoning much of the quality programming behind its success.

Now a media pressure group has branded plans for the show as "juvenile" and "offensive".

John Beyer, director of Mediawatch UK said: "It beggars belief. It's yet another example of them trying to attract viewers with a programme about sex. It is really time that Channel 4 grew up.

"They are so caught up in their own importance that they really can't see beyond their own quest for sensationalism and controversy."

Channel 4 has been criticised over plans to broadcast a mass public masturbation event as part of a special week of programming on the subject next year.

Former ITV chief executive Charles Allen earlier this year hit out C4's attempts to chase ratings with low-brow programming. He said it had become "risque" instead of "risky" and "brazen" instead of "bold".

It is also understood that there is unease among some Channel 4 board members about the plans for the week of programming around masturbation. The new virgin show could add to these fears.

Deputy chairman David Puttnam, who is being touted for the BBC chairman job, is understood to have concerns about the issue and chairman Luke Johnson has also reportedly been "uneasy" about it.

Aside from the programming around masturbation and virginity, Channel 4 has also come under fire for screening a show featuring pornographic images of nuns and also over a youth programme in which guests were shown a clip of a person and asked to guess which drug they had been taking.

A Channel 4 spokesman said: "Virgin School is a sensitive documentary that follows one young man's effort to overcome a major obstacle in his life.

"The programme focuses on his emotional journey and his growing confidence with women, not the final result. It will be scheduled appropriately in a late night slot"

Do you know somebody like that' date=' then??:stunned:[/quote']

 

Lol no, just had to think of that dude of American Pie who only pissed at home because he was scared of public toilets :P

 

What makes you think he's "scared"??:rolleyes:

 

Well, there can be many reasons why you don't have sex.. And your article mentioned this one man who kinda created a phobia after kissing a girl, so he might be scared to get intimate with someone (again)..
