In the six-part series, 12 virgins are guided through intimacy, body awareness, and touch under the leadership of sex therapist Dr. Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman. In the second episode aired on Tuesday night, the participants tried to get closer by giving each other massages in pairs. However, what happened between Jason and Charlotte caused a huge stir on social media.

"WHAT ARE THESE AWFUL STRETCH MARKS?"

During the massage, Charlotte pointed out the marks on her partner Jason's back, expressing her reaction by saying, "Why do you have these awful stretch marks?" Jason, surprised, replied, "I don't know. Did you really say 'awful'?" Charlotte continued, "It looks painful, like you've been scratched." Then, she said, "I'm done now," and stopped the massage to switch places.

INAPPROPRIATE JOKE ENDED THE SESSION

While starting to massage Charlotte's arm, Jason made an inappropriate joke to break the tension while responding to the guidance instructions: "It's like I'm doing something bad to your arm." Upon hearing this, Charlotte abruptly ended the session, saying, "I definitely want you to stop now." At the end of the episode, Jason, who shared his experiences with the other participants, summarized the events by saying, "It was a complete disaster." He added, "I even took off my shirt. Maybe I would have felt better if I hadn't been humiliated like this."

GREAT REACTION FROM THE AUDIENCE: "THE NEW BOTTOM OF TELEVISION"

The second episode of the program also received harsh criticism on the social media platform X. Many users described the program as "exploitative," "disturbing," and "humiliating," while some referred to Virgin Island as "the new bottom of television." Although Virgin Island uses sex therapist guidance and various methods, viewers described the series as "pure torture." On the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), viewers expressed their reactions:

• "I think this is a bit perverse. They need to take care of themselves first. Being a virgin is not something to be ashamed of. #virginisland seems strange to me. Get ready, I have more to say about this."
• "This is very exploitative. I panic even while watching at home. I can't even imagine being one of them. This is terrible."
• "This seems very disturbing to me; even if I weren't a virgin, I wouldn't like it. The therapists are weird; this isn't right."
• "Didn't this program scare you too?"
