Louis Theroux’s new documentary aired and people could only talk about one thing

Paul Moore

Louis Theroux Altered States

Poor Jerry.

Like a box of horny rabbits that are in heat, every single person in Louis Theroux’s latest documentary seemed like they were having more sexy time than Hugh Hefner in his pomp.

In Love Without Limits, Louis traveled to Portland, Oregon, to examine the topic of polyamory and in doing so, he spent time with a group of people who are looking to rewrite the rulebook on how couples conduct intimate relationships and experience family life.

During the course of the documentary, Louis embedded himself with families who have made the bold decision to open up their relationships in a number of different ways, whether inviting others into existing relationships or allowing partners to seek romance elsewhere.

Given the fact that there were so many different couples and relationships on show, viewers would be forgiven if they forgot who was hooking up with who, but one relationship took the majority of attention, Heidi and Jerry.

After Jerry’s own wife described him as being lonely, enigmatic, isolated and inscrutable, it was clear that Jerry wasn’t into this polyamorous lifestyle as much as his wife.

To compound matters, he even missed out on some pancakes and a potential threesome.

Plenty of viewers felt for Jerry and his predicament, especially as the documentary fell on their 16th anniversary.
