‘Like a job interview’: MAFS virgin roasted

Just when you thought things couldn’t get more awkward for the former virgin, this scene happened — and viewers could barely watch.

Just when thing couldn’t get any more awkward for 29-year-old Matthew, there was this scene.

During Monday night’s episode of Married At First Sight, Matthew, who lost his virginity during his honeymoon, decided to try and spice things up between him and Lauren by asking her a few questions about herself.

But the makeup artist grew frustrated that the questions amounted to nothing more than what her favourite colour was.

Lauren was less than impressed by Matthew's bland questions

“This is Matt’s chance to take control and be spontaneous, this is what I want,” Lauren told producers. “I guess I was expecting for him to ask something interesting.”

But things did get interesting when Matthew asked Lauren to reveal “something about you that most people find surprising?”

“Um, I used to be a lesbian,” Lauren replied.

“OK,” Matthew replied, blushing and squirming in his seat. “ … I don’t know what to ask now, I really don’t.”

But Matthew’s response left Lauren even more frustrated and she complained to producers that she was “not impressed” and that their questions “should just flow”.

“He just won’t talk, he shuts down,” she said.

However Matthew wasn’t fazed by his own response, as he admitted later to struggling with “asking questions”.

“I find asking questions really difficult so for me the obvious solution was say nothing,” he told producers.

Unfortunately for Matthew viewers found it really difficult to watch his question and answer session with Lauren:

That escalated from favourite colour quickly #mafs

But other viewers took issue with the words Lauren used to break her sexual past to Matthew:

"I used to be a lesbian." Ummm I didn't think that sort of thing was a lifestyle choice? #MAFS #MAFSAU

Why would Lauren say she used to be a lesbian...why not just say it like it is...you’re bisexual #MAFS pic.twitter.com/yc0w4OAwV9

Don't like people trying to police how Loz refers to her own sexuality. If she feels she used to be lesbian and now her feelings are entirely heterosexual she is entitled to that. #MAFS #MAFSAU

‘Used to be a lesbian’, so you’re bisexual? #mafs
