What are the Too Hot To Handle rules and how much money does sex cost the contestants?

TOO Hot To Handle season 3 has dropped on Netflix with a brand new batch of sexy singletons.

On the show the contestants aren't allowed to engage in sexual activity of any kind - but if you are lost already, don't worry, we have those pesky rules explained for you.

What are the rules for Too Hot To Handle?

Ten young, hot singletons from around the world come together in a tropical paradise for what they think will be the most exotic and erotic summer of their lives - but there’s a twist.

These commitment-phobes who love a casual hook-up, will have to give up all hanky-panky for the entire retreat if they want to win the $200,000 (£146,765) grand prize - each time they slip up, the prize money goes down.

The rules are controlled by an Alexa-style device called Lana - and here they are:

• No kissing.
• No heavy petting
• No sex
• No solo-self-gratification of any kind

There is a private suite that a few couples get to use.

In one of previous seasons, one couple spent the night there and lost the group $16,000, (£12.8K) but we were not given the specifics of what they did, only that they did not have intercourse.

Are there any loop holes for rules on Too Hot To handle?

There are a few loop holes.

Couples can hug, which means you can go in for a real snuggle that can boost those endorphins - but also other things.

They can also share a bed - but of course no funny business.

During the series the contestants are also given special watches.

If Lana thinks that a couple has gained a connection on a deeper level, then the watch flashes a colour meaning they can neck on as much as they want until the watch goes neutral again.
