90 Day Fiance: Intimate Scenes Leave Viewers Feeling Uncomfortable

90 Day Fiance has always pushed the boundaries of storytelling in the reality TV world. But this season, several couples have been shown in explicit or compromising situations. Especially, almost immediately after they first see each other for the first time. During this season, Rick traveled to Madagascar to meet his girlfriend, Trisha. During one of their segments, Rick revealed he brought a plastic splash mat to protect hotel bedding when they get intimate. This became quite a talking point among fans and was even discussed by fellow cast members on Pillow Talk. Another storyline focused on Forrest and his mother, Molly.

Molly went with Forrest to a sex toy shop and helped him pick lingerie for his partner, Sheena. Things became more uncomfortable when Molly discussed her own sex life on camera. She even told Forrest she planned to have sex with his stepfather on the airplane. Forrest got embarrassed and admitted he did not want to hear those details. Lisa’s storyline with Daniel also made fans feel a certain way. Cameras followed the couple into their bedroom after Daniel proposed. But Daniel refused to get intimate, and Lisa spiraled into panic attacks. She started questioning her attractiveness while the cameras continued rolling.

90 Day Fiance: Fans Say The Reality TV Show Has Lost Its Way

One fan commented that the series shifted from “relatively benign info about couples” to disturbing portrayals of non-American cast members. Others criticized the network for showing exploitative behavior that they encouraged. Another fan felt there was an increase in sexual conversations, calling it strange and unnecessary.

Others said they miss earlier seasons, when cameras respected boundaries and didn’t show intimate moments. For the latest 90 Day Fiance tea, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
