On being asked by Arisce Wanzer about the wildest place the contestants have had s*x, Da’Vonne Rogers reveals that she had s*x only with her long-time partner and has never got “to experience having a wild side.”

David Bart revealed his ongoing journey around his sexuality and opened up about why he came on the show, saying he wants to get to know himself better and accept himself more through the show.

The successful steamy dating show was launched in 2018 and produces two seasons per year. Seasons 1 and 2 aired in 2018, whereas seasons 3 and 4 aired in 2019 with season 4 ending in February 2020.
