Lifetime said today it will premiere its new reality series 7 Days Of Sex on April 26 at 10 PM, to be followed by the debut of the network’s new celebrity interview show The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet, hosted by UK TV personality and photographer Amanda de Cadenet. In Sex, produced by Shed Media US, couples are challenged to have sex for one week straight in the hope of saving their marriage, with the goal to reconnect emotionally and remember why they originally fell in love.

Here’s hoping they really won’t be asked to have sex “for one week straight.” I can tell you from personal experience that that would lead to discomfort. And it would make family dinners awkward.
I can say from my personal experience that a week straight does not lead to discomfort….if you have pain I would say to see your OB/GYN there might be something wrong….our sex life is wonderful,been busy lately but will go back to everyday very soon…but it’s not just intercourse I think they are talking about,it’s foreplay,kissing,touching,all sorts of things that can give you sexual satisfaction,pleasure and happiness.
Everyone has a different experience. You can’t say it does or does not lead to discomfort. In my case it does get awkward following weeks, though, we took a night off. Lastly, yes it is about a week long marathon of sex to strengthen their relationship not kissing or touching or any high school stuff. TV has gone down a grade.
Y’all missed the point…The joke was “one week straight.” As in sex for 168 straight hours…
Glad to see Lifetime continuing to produce such admirable and quality shows.
Between their movies, series and reality shows, this Network should just change their name to “Slimetime.”
Right on lol
“Marriage is like a hurricane. It’s starts with a lot of blowing and when it’s over you’ve lost your house.”
This is pretty stupid if they think Sex is the answer to all problems.
No, sex is not the answer to everything, but it has been found that men often show connectedness through intimacy, and it is the same when the husband doens’t want to talk to his wife- like ever. She can’t feel connected to him, so they stop having sex which makes him feel disconnected. It’s a vicious cycle.
Besides, man on top girl on bottom is not the only form of sex. Oral sex, hand jobs, seductive play, there are lots of other kinds of sex that create intimacy and connectedness. And when the he’s helping do the dishes and putting the kids to bed after being their soccer coach all evening, that’s sexy! When i get help, I have more energy for “our time” together, but he’ll never feel like helping if he doens’t feel connected to me.
A marriage without sex is annoying roommate who thinks you should do their laundry.
Way to go Iger and Disney…allowing your Lifetime crackheads
to add more sleaze to TV. And congrats on your oh-so-clever strategy for Easter Sunday TV entertainment!!! Very smart to premiere a series about a mom who enjoys being a prostitute on the
holiest day of the Christian year.
Interesting how we are all about sex outside of marriage and the lowering of our moral standards, but when it comes to making an attempt to save marriages we want to down it. Sex isn’t the solution, it is the commitment to reconnect that it can create. It can produce an atmosphere that can get couples to talking, rather than ignorning one another – causing yet another failed relationship. I applaud Lifetime for doing what it can to at least put in the effort.
I am actually on the show and believe me, I was a little skeptical about the whole thing. You are right that sex does not save a marriage, but as you go through the daily hum drum and have kids and work and etc. etc. you lose sight of what you once had with your mate and eventually, the sex goes. Doing the show with my husband made us deal with just each other for 7 days and it enhanced our relationship immensely. Not only did we find ourselves having sex, but we found ourselves actually communicating and talking about our issues. We made vows to each other at the end of the week, and we hung them in our bedroom. Since the show, when we find our vows taking a backseat, we make a point to look at them again and remember. The show definitely helped us more than some overpaid marriage psychologist could have. It will be interesting to see how they portray our 7 days on tv, but it doesn’t matter, we know that it helped us and that is what’s important.
Oh my God, married people having sex. I cant believe it. I’m going to put on 16 and pregnant.
Whaa…and the prudes cry about a show that talks about MARRIED couples having sex. Its 2012, and if you dont like it, DONT WATCH IT! Santorum USA here we come…bleh!
@Lizbeth…holiest day…seriously?? Pssssh! Lol
I am interested in seeing how this show plays out.And i don’t think the network is trying to “slime” or “sleeze” up anything.I think they are trying to bring awareness to the couples and to people in general that sometimes we need a change of pace to make things work.I have been married for twenty years and my marriage is better today then ever.But we had good and bad years.And during our worst times it was when we had gotten comfortable and work and kids and lifes issues took the back seat to love.We only have a today we dont know what we will have tomorrow we should grasp it.I don’t think they are saying sex for 7 days solves a marriage they are saying that an effort to reconnect emotionally and physically can make all the difference when you are having issues.
Glad to hear that it helped your marriage. Being married is a job harder then any other it takes alot of work from both.
That is awesome!! More people need to talk about it and do it!! If people want to be critical they shouldn’t watch. Thanks for helping create this discussion for others (who need to try it!)
Ignorance is just laziness. The series is based on a sermon a few years ago. The preacher told the married couples to have sex everyday for 7 days. The point was to say that God created sex to strengthen the bond between man and woman. It actually proved to help them and create a more healthy and stronger relationships. So before people go and talk trash about a network and show, please do your homework and research the facts. I hate stupid people and you wouldn’t be if you learned something.
Are you serious?!? God intended for married people to have sex! Get your head out of the sand. I think it is wonderful that Lifetime is bringing a show about making love between two people that love and respect each other. Jeeezzzz….
