Cape Town - A new "sex first" dating reality show is raising eyebrows.
The show is being offered to interested broadcaster's at this year's MIPCOM, the world's biggest annual TV market currently taking place in Cannes on the French Riviera.
According to reports the new show Making Love from French producers WeMake is eliciting gasps from MIPCOM attendees. During the show reality cameras follow contestants having sex first and – maybe – getting to know each other later.
Making Love (WeMake) follows six singles as they try finding love by first making love… in a sex hotel. This will make for fun morning-after hijinks#FreshTV #MIPCOM

After Dating in the Dark, Naked Attraction and then Sex Box – a British series that started in 2013 in which couples climbed into a box on stage to have sex while an audience watched and waited for them to emerge and talk about their sexual intercourse – Making Love is now taking things even further.
With the tagline "Could making love make you fall in love?" the show will film everything that happens behind closed doors as strangers immediately have sex, and then emerge to either decide if they want to start a relationship and perhaps go on a second date, or never see each other again.
After sex the contestants go to the bathroom to tell the camera how their partner performed.
