There’s few things as effective at numbing the brain and pushing away the pain than reality shows – especially ones featuring hot people getting borderline explicit. Case in point – Too Hot To Handle. I mean, the premise is basically putting a bunch of supermodels together and not letting them have sex. The horror! But if that’s the kind of drama you’re looking for (and who am I kidding, aren’t we all?), then here are some other shows you can watch to keep that flame burning.

1. Love Is Blind

A group of people communicate from separate rooms, trying to see if they connect without actually looking at each other. Heck, they even have to propose without looking at their partners, all to determine if love goes deeper than physical attraction.

2. Dating Around

One single person goes on 5 dates with 5 different people. The person then decides who out of the five they will go on a 2nd date with, while dumping the rest. Each episode features a different person going on the dates.

3. Love Island

Yet another show about super hot people swapping partners and choosing the love of their life on an island. This was the one to kind of jump-start the island villa trope though, so props to them!
