[music]
[Jade] We're taking y'all to...
[Both] Colombia!
[Woman] Previously on Teen Mom Family Reunion.
[Chey] This time, it's all about couples, love--
-[Jade] Relationships. - [Chey] A little bit of drama.
It's time to party!
How's the wedding stuff?
We went over our budget, probably, like, $45,000.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Maci] Cory has a lot of energy, but a little over the top.
I'm not sure where this night's gonna go.
[Cory] You're gonna be mad at me?
I don't wanna talk about that right now.
-I wanna talk about it, though. -Because you are drunk!
Just calm the [bleep] down.
[door slams]
-Hey! -No!
[indistinct shouting]
[Jade] We have one more little surprise for you guys.
Jenelle, say hello. Come on!
It's your time to come out now!
[Man] ♪ Here we go ♪
[Woman] ♪ You show up, you show up, you show up ♪
♪ Everybody gonna have a good time ♪
♪ You show up, you show up, you show up ♪
♪ Everybody gonna have a good time ♪
What's that?
Who is coming in? Like, I'm kinda nervous.
Who the [bleep] is that?
-Hey, I know that guy! -I hear there's a party here.
Welcome, welcome!
♪ Hey, hey It's another day ♪
[Jade] Me and Cheyenne chose new coaches this season that
specialize in everything couples
because it is a couples retreat.
-Dr. Mike! -What's up, Tyler?
I cannot believe Dr. Mike is here.
Dr. Mike, I was with him for a while.
I know how good he is at what he does.
What is your adult self telling that little boy?
It's gonna be okay.
So that's makes me even more excited, not just for me,
but for all the other couples.
I know we're about to get in some deep work.
Cate and Ty, you guys obviously know me.
Ten years I've known you, right?
Yeah.
[Maci] I'm glad it's the coaches because I thought that it
might be Farrah, Ashley, or Jenelle coming in.
I feel like our group is good right now.
Any newcomers might change things.
I don't know the rest of you. None of you know Michaiah.
So let us just introduce ourselves.
We are your coaches. I'm Dr. Mike.
I specialize in couples and sex therapy.
-I'm Michaiah. -[Group] Hi, Michaiah!
I am a relationship expert.
I think Dr. Mike and Michaiah are gonna be really good for us.
I feel like they're gonna do some serious work
with me and Cory. God knows we need it.
My specialty is really helping y'all to dig deep,
whether it's childhood trauma, the past wounds
of your relationship.
I know that if we can heal the wounds underneath,
it's gonna to take all of your relationships to the next level.
I am the complement to Dr. Mike. While he does the trauma work,
childhood stuff, I meet you in the here and now
to see how those things are influencing you today.
Michaiah comes in with that positive vibe that automatically
makes you feel like you wanna tell her all your dirty secrets.
And the reason we're doing this in a group
is because the power of the group
can be so beneficial to that healing.
We want to be sure that you can leave here as masters
of your relationships.
♪ Don't say I love you ♪
[Jade] Dr. Mike and Michaiah are ideal for what this
Teen Mom Family Reunion is all about,
which is couples, love, intimacy,
communication, understanding.
And they are going to touch on all of those.
Guess what, y'all? The healing starts right now.
Now?
Hell, no.
-Follow us. Here we go. -Drinks down. Come with us.
[Dr. Mike] Your first exercise.
[Cory] We're just having a party.
Everyone's having fun.
And now we gotta go do a workshop.
Let's go.
[music]
We go outside and we see tiki torches.
We see these pink X's.
I'm thinking we're about to get eliminated.
I watch enough Survivor. I know how this goes.
The target's already on us. We've been arguing tonight.
I'm not trying to get voted off first.
All right, we talked about digging deep.
We don't yet know your level of commitment to yourselves,
to each other, to the group.
What you have to do first is, as a couple, go to the X,
which marks the spot. And you are going to dig deep
to find that proverbial buried treasure.
I'm really trying to be a team player, but it's like,
it's been a long day. I just got my nails done.
You dig in the dirt.
Then take that buried treasure and figure out as a group
how to put it together there in the center of this beach.
Wait, wait, question!
Is the buried treasure a metaphor, or is it physical?
-It is real. -Okay.
Are you ready? Set. Go!
Go, babe!
You got it?
[Maci] I know this isn't a competition,
but we want to get whatever the hell this is
out of the sand first.
Right here. Right here. Oh, hey. Got it?
I'm H-B-I-C, head bitch in charge.
I handle a lot of stuff at home.
I want him sometimes to just jump in.
This is our opportunity to work on that
and for him to step up.
Dig parallel with me.
Get it, babe! Get it, babe!
-My nails are gonna break. -If you love me, you'll get it!
It's so funny to watch everybody in their different dynamics.
Get in there, babe!
[Chey] We co-parent with Cory and Taylor.
I see their dynamic all the time.
It's a lot of, like, Cory coaching Taylor.
He's like, "Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah!"
Like he's a coach!
Cheyenne and Zach may be the first couple.
-Oh, no, no, no. -Oh, oh, oh!
Cate and Ty for the win!
[Taylor] Of course, the couple that's been together the longest
gets it out first, Cate and Ty.
The least competitive couple.
What the hell is this?
[Cate] We're literally killing this [bleep].
We're the first ones to get all the stuff out.
I don't know if this means we're the best communicators
in the group, but we're kicking butt.
[Dr. Mike] And now, working together as a group
to figure this all out.
It's like putting together furniture!
So we pull out this bag.
It's got all these wooden pieces in it.
So I'm like, "What the hell are we supposed to do with
this wooden [bleep]?"
I was ordering [bleep] around.
Yo.
Oh, it's a puzzle.
We have to clear the sand off of this.
-What is this damn thing? -It's a heart, it's a heart.
Oh, it's a heart!
All right, now I got it.
Mine's a corner piece, guys.
Yellow and pink are on the bottom.
That's it. Color code it. Pink's at the bottom.
Yellow, pink, baby blue, green, dark blue, light blue.
The most competitive is Maci.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
She's screaming at everyone. It took her two seconds.
She's, "Hey!"
I don't like to yell, but we gotta work as a team.
Let's find all the curved pieces and work the outside,
and then put the middle in.
-Nice strategy, Maci. -[Michaiah] There it is.
[Dr. Mike] Nice strategy.
I like the fact we're all working together
and not breaking off individually into couples
'cause we're all here together. We're all family.
This one goes right there. Look.
Making some progress.
Down at the bottom looks kind of wonky.
There we go. This is it.
The bottom is done!
[Tyler] I think there's a line in the middle.
[Sean] Yeah. Boom, right there.
Oh, yeah, yeah. You're right. You're right.
Good job. Good job.
[Michaiah] Just a few more pieces left.
All right! Oh!
[clapping]
Oh, my God. Whoa!
We all gotta go this way and take a look.
-Let's take a look at it. -You guys did it.
[Michaiah] Okay. Let's take a look at your work.
From start to finish, we really killed the task, I think.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
[Michaiah] You really dug in immediately.
You heard the challenge, you addressed the task.
You did it together.
So I thank you for that enthusiasm
and your willingness to really be committed to this process.
The power of the group, that's what this exercise
and these next two weeks are all about.
Really great work today.
Yeah, I feel the strength in this circle.
All right.
This give me that soul! We can conquer anything!
I'm yelling about the power of the group,
but my mind isn't there.
Me and Taylor, we just got into an argument.
I just hope that after this workshop,
we can get a one-on-one session with the coaches.
The first day was not a good representation
of our relationship.
And I'm just a little nervous about what's in store for us.
-Good night! -Great night. Great night.
The first day was awesome. We partied. We ate.
We did a workshop.
Now, the real work is about to start.
But that's what this reunion is all about.
-Say "Love!" -[All] Love!

First morning in Colombia. I'm not used to this freedom.
I have all these kids.
I'm the one that gets up with them every morning,
gets them to school, bus stop, all that stuff.
No one's around. No one's bothering me.
No one's talking. It's just me and my head.
We're in Colombia. I need to learn Spanish,
so I'm trying to, like, do a word a day,
to kind of build up my Spanish vocabulary.
Levantate!
I'm gonna go practice my levantate word
and get Cate up.
♪ Let's wake up the world ♪
[whispers] Babe...
- Levantate. -What?
Levantate.
-It means time to get up. -Just leave me alone!
I don't think I pronounced it right
'cause Cate did not respond.
Levantate!
[Cate] I'm finally away from the kids,
trying to just have a good vacation.
But here comes my husband
screaming random Spanish words at me.
[Tyler] Levantate!
Like, how do you say "annoying" in Spanish?
[music]
I brought you some breakfast in bed.
-Leave me alone. -[laughs]
I'm probably gonna jump in the ocean.
I ain't gonna lie. It's hot.
Legs is dripping.
Is that what you're doing, running?
-Yeah. -No.
I'm curious to know, what do you hope to be able
to do or get out of this?
I don't know if there's anything I hope to get out of it
other than we're getting some, like--
One-on-one time without kids? Yeah.
What Taylor and I need to work on the most would be
prioritizing each other.
I feel like Colombia is gonna be kind of like a restart button.
I'm super excited to get to know everybody more.
They're a blast. And they're easy.
It's a great group.
Everyone wants everyone to have a purpose
and, like, feel the purpose for being here.
To be given this opportunity around other couples
that are going through the same things
we're going through,
it'll be a huge growth for us. It will give us time to reflect.
We think it'll make us better parents and better partners.
-I'm happy that you're here. -It's wild.
♪ Takin' time for me ♪
-What's up, Cory? -Good mornin'.
Where do I get an old-school cup of joe?
Right there.
Taylor needs her coffee or it's gonna to be a long day.
So, how's Taylor doing today?
She seemed like she was anxious yesterday.
I don't know what was going on between y'all.
She doesn't like doing this type of stuff.
I drag her in here and I'm like, a big personality.
That's just not her, so, like, it's been a struggle.
Yeah.
She just misses the girls a lot.
I get it. We miss our kids and this [bleep] is hard,
but sometimes it's good to just get away.
I definitely relate to Taylor's anxiety
and how being away from the kids can trigger that.
I hope, for Taylor's sake, that she just realizes that
we are here to support her, and to be friends to her.
You already have an identity as a mother, but now it's time to,
who is Taylor now, right?
Because you lose that self-identity when you
-become a parent. -[Cate] You really will.
You could drown in the parent role.
Cory and Taylor have jumped into
that whole parenting role super fast.
They started dating already when Cory found out
he was a dad to Ryder.
They didn't really get a chance to, like,
date and just be themselves.
So I feel like they could spend a lot of time just figuring out
who each other are outside of being parents.
It's gonna be great.
Two weeks just for us to sit, talk.
Yeah, use whatever the coaches have got to give us.
And hopefully the couples sessions
should be helpful.
I really want this experience to be positive.
And I think it will be.
On the first day, Taylor got upset
and I got upset.
It's not always gonna be rainbows and sunshine.
And we got a lot to work on. And that's why we're here.
We're gonna have a better day than we did yesterday.
It's her coffee that's cold now, so I'm gonna bring it up to her,
since we have a session with Michaiah soon.
♪ I gotta know ♪
I'm so damn hot.
[music]
That's it. Our own private room.
-Hello, hello. -[Both] Hi.
Here we are.
Me and Taylor came down here knowing we wanted to work
on some things.
And after last night,
I need to be the first one pulled
because it is obvious that we have our issues.
-How are you today? -Good.
I am super nervous to meet with Michaiah
just because everything that happened last night.
And I honestly have a lot to get off my chest
about our relationship.
I really do wanna get into what was going on last night.
I heard it was a little emotional.
I want you to share and really lean into your own experience.
So let's start, Taylor, with you.
I have a lot of anxiety just in general.
And coming here gives me a lot of anxiety.
Us starting to argue came from him just getting mad.
And when he drinks, he just keeps going.
And then I tried to calm him down.
And he doesn't like to hear that.
Nobody likes to hear that when they're mad.
So I would imagine for you
that that could sometimes feel like...
walking through a landmine.
[Cory] I have anger issues.
You know, I like to bottle up my emotions.
And then it just triggers and you're like,
"Why the hell are you getting this upset
over something like that?"
And that just goes back to, like,
a lot of, like, my childhood and how I was raised.
My dad was in jail my whole life.
I was raised by my mom.
She was in a messed-up relationship.
Whew. I get emotional about it.
Whew.
If you have different understandings of what
respect means, that could also have impacts
on your relationship.
I think that's where we're different,
is I had a really great childhood.
My parents have been together since they were 15.
I've seen them in love my whole life.
Very different upbringings, different understanding
of what love and what the world looks like.
I mean, I came down here with a purpose.
And I want to give everything I have
towards this relationship.
There's a lot to learn from one another
about how to create your own relationship dynamic.
And you get to decide by your own rules
of what worked and didn't work.
I mean, it brings us up to your story now.
-Yeah. -Okay.
-You met on a show. -Yeah.
That's not the typical setup.
I knew she was mine before we even got there.
-Hi, Cory. -What's up?
I already knew.
And I was starstruck by, like, how beautiful she is.
Like, I was all about you.
How was life off camera?
We were up and down at the beginning.
We were breaking up, getting back together.
What was it that always had you breaking up?
Him wanting to be single.
-Okay. -[Cory] Yeah, commitment.
I've never been great with commitment--
[Taylor] And I'm very committed.
Like, when I'm with somebody, I'm with somebody.
That's what I love about her, too.
It's like, I don't have to worry about her messing
-with somebody behind my back. -[Taylor] 'Cause I wouldn't.
And do you ever worry about him?
Yes.
Because of that make-up/breakup past?
-Or is there something-- -It's because of the past.
I've been cheated on in every relationship.
In this one?
[music]
I've been cheated on in every relationship.
In this one?
[music]
Yeah.
-How far in the past was that? -Six years ago.
Was this before or after the kids?
Before.
So there hasn't been nothing after?
-Mm-mm. -Okay.
And I can see that it takes a toll on her.
That needs some attention.
[Taylor] I don't trust him when he drinks.
I don't trust the way he acts when he drinks.
Um, I don't trust his friends. They have some strippers around.
They're cool. They're just in the streets.
They're in the streets, but you are not.
You are in a relationship.
But I never do anything, though.
You're doing what she says hurts.
-I always come home to you... -No, no.
But listen,
you are [bleep] belligerent every time.
And that's what scares me,
is you being in that state of mind
where you're barely coherent, and then you doing something.
[Cory] I wanna be the best man I can be,
but at the same time,
I wanna hang out with my friends and I like to have some drinks.
So then when she says, "It hurts me that you go out,
and that you get super drunk 'cause I don't know
what you're capable of doing in that state,"
and you choose to do that exact same thing,
is what's sending the message that you don't care.
[Cory] I know I'm selfish,
but I don't know how to change that.
Oh, you took it! I didn't even have to say it.
-Okay. -No. Yeah.
-He knows. -[Michaiah] You own that.
I know, but I don't know how to change that 'cause it's not me.
By making a decision to be different.
Well, I can see that you don't want to lose parts of yourself.
No. I feel like I always have to keep my wings down
when I'm with you. I'm like a damn butterfly.
I just see it so, like, different being a mom.
-That's, like, my world. -She is an amazing mother.
I want her to find herself. Listen, if you wanna be great,
if you wanna be exceptional, then you need to do
exceptional things and great things.
So what about motherhood is not exceptional?
The both of you are doing exceptional work,
but when there's verbiage like that,
how it sounds is, you're not [bleep] doing enough.
And you're just a mom.
-How does that feel? -It hurts.
And I'm sorry. I'm sorry that it does hurt.
I'm gonna work on it.
I'm really happy to see your level of commitment
to each other.
I'm happy to see that you're willing.
Yeah.
I felt really good after the session
because I felt like there was somebody hearing me
and understanding my relationship with Cory.
And I think this is a really good start
to figuring out what our problems are.
But there is more we need to work on.
-Thank you, guys. -Thank you.
[Cory] Yes, thank you.
The number one takeaway from this session was
I need to have a better understanding for the value
of my relationship.
When I messed up a couple of years ago,
I could see the pain on how she still holds that against me.
When I go out with my friends, I could definitely change
a little bit.
First one down! Good luck, everybody else!
[music]
"I need your signature in the next 30 minutes
or the offer is gonna expire."
While I was in treatment two and a half years ago,
Jade bought a house.
[Jade] Your new house!
-Are you excited to show me? -Look at the house!
[Jade] Wow!
We just recently bought another house,
so we put our old house on the market.
Sign that [bleep].
Can you get on your laptop?
It's been on the market for about three months now,
but we just got a word that we got an offer on the house.
Yeah. Okay. So they agreed at my counter.
A lot of what I've invested my money in
is tied up in this property.
[Sean] You think you're gonna be able to sign it in time?
And we're over budget on the wedding, like, 40, 45,000.
And I feel like that profit from selling
will pay off the wedding.
Okay, I just heard back. Let me know if that looks good.
It's contingent on them signing this
by the end of the night.
But it sounds like they're going to.
I think so.
It feels so good to get the house sold.
I feel like that was my first baby.
I'm so excited!
I just want my money.
It was the first house I ever owned.
It was my first project. Sean was in rehab.
I completely did this solo.
[Sean] Guess what? They accepted the counter offer!
-Well, congratulations. -Yes!

-Oh, my God! -Hey, hey!
Is that us?
We're all hanging out outside, drinking some drinks.
Out of nowhere, this thing pulls up.
Looks like a bus, playing loud music.
And we're like, "What the hell is going on?"
Whoo!
I'm so excited. So now we got a Chiva bus.
This is like a party bus, like Colombian vibes.
Our bus is here!
Dude, this is about to be lit!
Yay!
Chiva!
[Cory] Let's go!
Whoo!
[Chey] We got a Chiva bus.
And this is like a party bus, like Colombian vibes.
So I'm ready to turn up.
Chiva!
I hope you guys have fun tonight. I'm excited.
The bus is fully loaded.
We got little shot glasses hanging up.
We have confetti shooters. We got the drinks.
And we're about to turn this whole bus up
and have a good-ass time.
Chiva!

[music]
It feels really good to just be out and about.
It's like our own little bubble of fun
and we're ready to party.
We're about to pull up to our destination.
I don't actually know what the coaches have planned.
They just said to come.
[Tyler] Bro, we're here.
Are you ready for this?
Woo-oo-oo.
-Welcome! -Welcome!
Come on in. Come around.
[bleep] A, bro.
All of us are turned up to the max.
We've had a good-ass time.
We're thinking we're walking right into a club, a banger.
I'm about to do the cha-cha. No.
-Every couple find a pillow. -Come on in.
What?
We walk in this place after getting off this bus,
we've been drinking and there's pillows all around in a circle.
It looks very like, kumbaya. Are we doing yoga?
What is this?
I'm here to have a good time with my lady,
but we wanna work on all these deep-rooted issues,
so I'm glad the coaches are here.
So strap in and get ready. Here we go.
Can we take our shoes off?
You can absolutely take your shoes off.
I'm not taking off my shoes.
[Michaiah] Welcome to this workshop tonight.
You're going to be hot.
You may be uncomfortable.
But this evening, Dr. Mike and I are going to make you moan.
-What? -[Michaiah] Moan.
Moan?
Okay.
I'm gonna need more. Tell me more.
Physiologically, through the lifespan, sex drive changes.
When you fall in love, and none of you are
in this stage anymore, you feel excited.
You wanna have sex all night, right?
All the time.
-All the time. -Yeah.
But then later in life, it is impossible for your body
to get grounded and have that sex drive in the phase of life
that you guys are in.
So I'm gonna teach you tonight how to breathe, how to moan,
to help you improve the intimacy in your relationships.
You hear that?
You're gonna teach us how to moan?
Absolutely.
This sounds [bleep] stupid.
I don't wanna hear it.
Oh, yeah.
This workshop is about getting your moan out
and how to improve your sex life.
And I'm glad that we're doing this.
'Cause it's something we need to work on.
I don't know if I want to moan with them!
[laughs] Oh, but we will.
This is [bleep] stupid.
I was keeping an open mind.
Sean was like, "Uh-uh. This [bleep] is weird."
My mom is about to be watching this [bleep], bro.
I could feel his uncomfortable energy.
I just feel like it was worded weird.
You know what I mean? We're gonna to make y'all moan.
Like what?
Sean is definitely not happy about this.
[Sean] I know I need to step out of my comfort zone,
but I don't feel open talking about my sex life.
I promise you, you're gonna take something away.
Just keep an open mind, you know...
I'm trying to, but this just sounds like a bunch of mumbo
goddamn jumbo to me.
[music]
We're gonna make y'all moan. Like what?
This sounds [bleep] stupid.
Sean is extremely uncomfortable during this workshop.
I feel like he's just gonna walk out at any time.
I hope that he realizes that this is all supposed to help us
and our relationships.
I feel like he's getting to the point where he's,
-like, defensive. -[Sean] No. I'm ready to bounce.
Like, I just wanna walk away.
I'm not open minded. And I don't want to be here.
Like, my mom is about to be watching this [bleep], bro.
You know what I mean?
So let's start from the baseline.
This workshop is set up to take us phase by phase.
You can lean into the power of the group,
have us all feel comfortable. Is that fair?
[Sean] I don't feel like myself.
Moaning is not very ideal for me in a group setting.
I can see how upset Jade is.
She was getting uncomfortable because I'm mad.
She just thought it was making us look bad.
So I'm gonna try to stay and participate.
-I'll give it a shot. -[Michaiah] Okay.
Face back-to-back with your partner.
-Back-to-back. -Just don't fart.
I would like to go front-to-front.
[laughing]
Reach your hands out.
Try to caress your partner while being back-to-back.
How does that work?
[Dr. Mike] Your partner's sharing that same space,
but when you're minding the kids and you don't make the time
for each other, you feel each other's back,
but you don't have that affection.
-I like what you did there. -I really do.
That went full circle.
[Tyler] I'm trying to do it. It feels weird.
I want to turn around because this is stupid,
but I get the message.
They're trying to say that when you're back-to-back
and not facing each other, it's hard to connect.
Turn around and face your partner.
So this is the phase where you get to actually
look at one another,
to value one another,
to see one another, to validate--
Me and Sean, we're not seeing eye-to-eye about the activity.
Look each other in the eye.
I just don't see the point yet.
He's annoying me a little bit.
I want you to get out of your comfort zone.
Even if it's not something ideal,
it's like, do it with me.
We're here right before our wedding,
and I feel like this is our opportunity to work on us.
All I can think about is how hot I am,
and I just wanna leave.
[Dr. Mike] Just imagine that you're having a staring contest.
I can definitely tell that Jade is a little upset
that Sean's upset. Hopefully, Sean can come around.
Honestly, we are all very uncomfortable right now.
Sixty seconds of gazing.
This is a challenge for some of you.
That's weird to me.
I don't think me and Sean had a talk about
this slowing down of sex,
but he's made comments, and it was rude.
I'm happy he's participating, not happy he is just exploding
with rude remarks.
I've been uncomfortable since we walked in the [bleep] door.
You live life together.
But when is the last time you looked at your partner?
Okay, tell me how that felt.
That was a long time.
How was that for you guys?
All I was receiving from the gaze was,
"Chill the [bleep] out."
Oh. Whoa. [laughing]
Damn.
What were you getting from him?
Like, we're not, but it's hurtful.
That, to me, was like, so mean. It like, hurt my feelings.
It made me like, pissed off. It made me sad.
I had to jump out of my head to even participate.
And now she's mad.
I feel like that's a bridge that everyone
in a committed relationship, you will cross that probably
more than once. You have to talk about it.
Outside, it seems like all you guys are so great,
and so happy. And we're over here like,
we're the ones about to get married
and ours isn't perfect right now, so I feel like--
It's making us insecure and, like,
are we making the right choice?
Ain't nobody's [bleep] perfect.
It's like this. You just gotta do it together.
I see where the coaches are coming from about power
within the group, because when you have issues,
it's good to be able to talk to other people
and know that other people relate.
And you're not alone with any of your problems.
[Michaiah] This is where the moaning comes into play.
Ladies, straddle your partner.
Hell, yes.
Whoo!
Baby, I'm a cowboy. I'm ready to be ridden.
Come on.
Ride me, girl, how you want me.
I cannot believe I'm straddling Taylor right now
in front of everyone.
It's very uncomfortable, but I look around and notice
that everyone else is doing it, too.
So I'm trying my hardest to be a team player right now.
[laughing]
We're gonna take that belly breathing
and breathe into a moan.
One, two, three and release.
[moaning]
That was some held-back moaning, you all!
That was a D minus.
[Michaiah] That was restricted.
I thought our moans were good. I was hearing the group.
I thought we were doing pretty good.
It was very organic.
[Dr. Mike] Listen up, y'all. Only from the belly.
[moaning loudly]
[laughing]
Dr. Mike felt that.
Did somebody just shoot a deer? Like, what is that?
[moaning loudly] [laughing]
Don't do that, please.
It was like, a damn herder call for cattle.
I didn't hear you at all.
He said he was moaning from his stomach,
but it sounded like he was moaning from his balls.
He kind of was a little more powerful than me.
I get what you want now.
But what you did not hear was...
[high-pitched moaning]
That's all head. That's all a performance.
You don't want your partner to perform.
You want your partner to experience you.
-Are you ready? -Yes.
-Inhale. -Let me hear y'all.
[moaning]
I've had sex on camera.
I've been naked a whole bunch of times.
I'm not self-conscious on moaning.
[moaning]
[laughing]
I think that I have a pretty good moan.
I haven't had any complaints about it.
Thank you so much.
[Sean] Though I was mad,
staring into Jade's eyes alleviated my mindset.
How could I be mad when I'm staring into
such a beautiful woman's eyes?
When we're talking about sexual intimacy,
if we can move from the chest breathing to the belly,
then we actually can lean into the pleasure.
[Dr. Mike] How often would you like to be having sex?
-Almost every day? -Yeah.
That is the high side. You guys are way above average.
That's what I want.
I'm a very sexually driven person.
Maci has been very open about her high sex drive.
I never would have thought that.
At least a couple times a week would be perfectly fulfilling.
-Where you at now? -Not that.
-Taylor, where are you? -Few times a week.
That'd be great.
Me and Maci are definitely happier when we're having
a healthy sexual relationship, so we have to make more time
for that.
[Dr. Mike] How about you guys?
We probably have sex probably twice to three times a week.
And then when we do, it's very rushed.
It's not like we get a whole night to ourselves.
It's like, damn, we got five minutes
before these kids act up.
We don't ever get to be intimate.
If we want to get married,
it is now time for us to focus on us.
And that's something that we wanna work on
and find more time where it's just me and you.
It's nice to hear that Cory is excited to work on things
in our relationship.
We need to spend more quality time together.
[Cory] Her whole identity has been being a mom.
There can't be two kids in bed with us.
And I also have a feeling that for the two of you,
the frequency is not where you want it to be.
Is that right?
To be honest, sex to me means reproduction in my head,
lately, that I'm, like, terrified of it.
I'm scared of getting pregnant again
because I'm not ready.
I'm shocked that Jade is saying she doesn't want another baby.
I think she means that she doesn't want one right now.
If could just make a confession, for like, the last six months,
I've really been, like, holding out on him.
[gasps]
[music]
Whoa.
[Jade] If could just make a confession,
for like, the last six months,
I've really been, like, holding out on him.
[gasps]
Whoa.
I'm scared of getting pregnant again
because I'm not ready.
My pregnancy, my labor was traumatic.
[crying]
I'm in so much pain. I'm shaking.
I worked so hard to get to
where I want to be, like, physically.
We have our wedding, we have our honeymoon.
We have all this stuff going on where I'm like,
"Do you wanna be pregnant doing that?"
Listening to Jade talk about her fears of being pregnant,
that's a hard place to be.
So I feel for her right now. And Sean, honestly.
Hearing that makes me understand so much more.
You just gave him something great by being honest.
I'm sorry for being selfish all the time.
That made me feel really bad, but I understand it.
And I'm not mad at her. I'm ready whenever she's ready.
[Jade] I feel like there's a lot of pressure on me,
and that takes the sexiness away.
I associate pregnancy with feeling sad,
insecure and lonely.
When I was pregnant,
Sean was having a lot of problems.
And then also, after having Chloe, I didn't feel sexy.
I didn't recognize my body.
And I feel like I've done a lot of work in the last year,
and I'm not ready just yet.
Are you doing anything to prevent the pregnancy then?
Just birth control, but look what happened.
I know that you're terrified, but there are other ways
to experience pleasure that don't include intercourse.
Also, think about scheduling sex, not as a task,
but as this is our time. Make the time.
Each workshop I've done, I've learned a little bit more
about my partner, and that's what this trip is all about.
So I'm glad that we got the moaning and the intimacy
talk done.
I feel like I'm ready to hit the room, baby.
It's time.
You guys opened up today.
You guys took a risk today.
It is a struggle to make sure that the intimacy stays alive,
so I'm really trying to take in the tools
that they're giving us about keeping the spark alive.
I wanna give huge props to you, Sean.
And isn't it so interesting
that the person who didn't want to be here,
I think, got the most out of this workshop?
[Sean] I'll tell you what I got out of it, communication.
Yeah.
[Sean] Though, I was uncomfortable,
though, I didn't want to be there,
it was for an opportunity to open up to each other.
And I think that's the key to a successful relationship.
[Jade] At the end of the night, Sean opened up,
which I'm happy about.
But I do feel like his emotions came out in a way
that I didn't like, and I wasn't happy with.
So I feel like there's still some things that I wanna discuss
that are on my mind for sure.
[bottle pops] [cheering]
[Cory] Workshop's complete, baby!
Everybody have explosive sex tonight! Whoo!
♪ Ooh, she's so fancy and beautiful ♪
♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
Can I get a, "Oh, yeah?"
Oh, yeah, big boy.
I'm immature as hell. I couldn't stop laughing.
[neighing]
It's time!
[neighing]
[laughing]
[music]
During the workshop, Taylor and I discussed certain things
that we need from each other.
Is that door locked?
And it's time to put it into action and practice.
What?
-Give them a good night. -Goodnight.
We're gonna do moaning exercises.
[laughs]
[phone dings]
[Jade] [bleep]
[Sean] What?
[Jade] He doesn't wanna go with the deal.
My first house has been hanging over my head.
We got an offer, so we're thinking,
"This is done. We're gonna close."
And boom, the buyer's not good with this offer.
We were this [bleep] close.
It'll sell when it's meant to sell.
Do you know what I mean?
I feel like you just don't understand, like,
how stressful all these responsibilities
that I have are.
[Sean] No, no. I understand.
[Jade] I feel like it's always on my plate
because I'm the one dealing with it.
I want to have a partnership, but I feel like
we haven't had that for years.
It was like me doing everything and him just, like, you know,
just trucking along behind me.
I want him to help in the areas that are
really stressing me out. And I'm really frustrated.
I have so much [bleep] going on.
It's just, like, today, I feel like...
I'm just not happy about it.
[Sean] I'm sorry that you're still upset.
I'm in my [bleep] head about it too.
[Jade] See? You're still negative.
[Sean] I'm not trying to be negative.
At this point, I'm just not happy with, like,
your whole demeanor.
I'm not happy with your attitude.
Like, I'm just not happy.
[Sean] I just wanna go to bed. I just want this day over with.
Now I'm mad 'cause Cheyenne told me
that you said at the little group thing
that we haven't had sex in six months.
-You said that, not me. -No, I didn't.
-You said six months. -No, I didn't. She goes--
-[Jade] I said--I was like-- -[Sean] When did I say?
We're all in one house. We're all on one floor.
And the walls are a little thin.
She was like, I could have sworn--
You were literally the one that said that.
Probably the last six months, I've really been, like,
holding out on him.
No, I didn't. It hasn't been six months!
[Sean] You said, "Starting, like, six months ago."
And everybody else assumed it was six months, too.
You said it.
You said six months and I said, "What?"
You said six months.
I didn't say anything about six months.
[bleep] this.
[music]
[Sean] What the [bleep] just happened?
We are getting sexy tonight!
What would you need to feel comfortable
getting pregnant again?
[Jade] Um...
Well, I think this also goes hand-in-hand
with your commitment issue.
I mean, the only progression from here is, like, marriage.
Right.
[Woman] I just heard from Mackenzie.
And she is coming.
[Woman] Her and her new black boyfriend.
-Hi! -What's going on?
[music]
