MAFS fans lose it over raunchy 'genital cupping' challenge
Say what you will about Married at First Australia, but they sure can pull a brand new trick out of the bag every single episode and Tuesday evening's was no exception.
We've seen everything from toaster pizza, to finger sucking on the show, and now we are apparently driving headfirst into an intimacy practice known as genital cupping.
The challenge is fairly self-explanatory and was put to couple Jason and Alana by the show's new sexologist Alessandra Rampolla as part of the show's infamous 'intimacy week'.

MAFS fans stunned following Alana Lister's X-rated confession
The pair were instructed to stand face to face, and lightly cup the other's genitals while gazing into their eyes in a bid to become more vulnerable with the other.
Meanwhile, Alessandra watched on from a chair.
The duo of course awkwardly tried to keep straight faces during the baffling exercise, but ultimately both teared up, overwhelmed by the experience.
It's safe to say they weren't the only ones.
Fans gobsmacked over genital cupping
Many fans took to social media after the episode with baffled reactions to the exercise which for many, was simply a bridge too far.
"Cupping genitals?" one fan wrote. "Yeah, I'm out."
"Alessandra deserves an Oscar for being able to tell them to touch genitals while keeping a straight face," another pointed out.
Others felt very strongly about the whacky experience.
"Yeah no f*** intimacy week," one fan wrote. "I would rather remain happily single than hold someone’s genitals while looking at them in the eye. That’s just creepy and invasive as f*** to me."
Another could only restate how utterly bizarre the challenge sounded spoken out loud.
"Here’s a challenge, hold each other’s genitals and gaze into each other’s eyes while laughing," they wrote.
"Wtf?" another wrote. "Let’s cup genitals!! Why the hell not!!! Not awkward with an audience..."
It comes after a very raunchy episode on Monday had fans feeling hot under the collar, after popular couple Brett and Booka were given a box of toys to encourage them to be playful with one another.
When they opened the box, it wasn't building blocks and Uno that they discovered, rather a very adult array that pushed the 7:30 pm air time almost to breaking point.
To kick off the steamy interaction Brett opted for the game, with Booka's first 'dare' leading to some very... hands-on interactions.
