It is the question Chris and JoJo Pinto most dread.

"When we're asked what we do for a living, the first words out of my mouth are: 'well that's an interesting question,' JoJo laughs.

The Poole couple hit headlines after appearing on a controversial TV show where members of the public enter a box in the studio to have sex, before emerging to discuss it in front of an audience and thousands of people across the country.

Now they are responsible for bringing a famous sex party for the 'world's sexual elite' normally hosted in Los Angeles, London and Manchester to Dorset.

"The general reaction is 'that's really interesting, tell me more," said JoJo.

Last month Chris and JoJo hosted their first 'Killing Kittens' party in Westbourne and they are already planning their next event.

Chris, 34, said: "It's a big deal bringing these types of parties here. It's not like Bournemouth lacks the population of people that are doing all sorts but it is the openness. It's a very underground scene.

"We want to open up that discussion and want people to talk about sex without it being shameful.

"We want to get as many sex parties into Bournemouth and across the south west as possible."

Chris and JoJo, who appeared on Channel 4's Sex Box in April, began arranging the famous Killing Kittens parties after a chance meeting with founder, socialite Emma Sayle, who went to school with the Duchess of Cambridge.

The couple from Talbot Village, who have 36,400 online followers, attended a sex exhibition and were approached to front the private members' sex club parties for the south west of England.

Killing Kittens formed in London ten years ago for beautiful people to "explore their sexuality" and party members have to pass a strict vetting system including sending photographs before they will be admitted.

Tickets to the female dominated parties cost £100 for a couple and £30 for single women. Single men are barred.

Women wear cocktail dresses while men wear smart suits and all wear masks.

Last month's party at a secret cottage in Westbourne included guests aged 18 to 45 who work as schoolteachers, bankers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, actors, actresses, and models.

Chris dismissed suggestions the nights were immoral.

He said: "People chat and make friends. The only difference to a dinner club is that ultimately you know you might have sex.

"Everyone is really welcoming and there is no pressure on anyone to get involved.

"People have preconceptions but we aren't talking about anything seedy. They are stylish and sophisticated parties with oysters and Prosecco in beautiful places."

However, the couple, who live in Talbot Village, admit finding suitable locations in Dorset can be difficult.

Chris, said: "Finding the venue is the dark art. There is a bit of dark magic that goes on to secure venues. It's not easy to approach venues. We don't have a problem approaching, it's the reaction we get back.

"We don't necessarily say what we are using it because if we have the venue for a few days, nobody need to know any different.

"What people want to do behind closed doors is up to them as long as it is safe and consensual, I don't see what the issue is."

Chris and JoJo, who have both had sexual experiences with more than 30 people each since they met, are no strangers to the swinging scene.

The couple, who are arranging another party in July, met on Twitter three years ago and moved in together three months later.

JoJo, 39, said: "Neither of us intended to get into a relationship but we got on so well and were both really honest with each other.

Chris, added: "We are both very adventurous. We describe our relationship as emotionally exclusive and sexually open.

"People often ask whether we get jealous but the answer is absolutely not. Our relationship is centred as such that emotionally we remain monogamous. If there is emotional seepage from a third party, then things stop entirely. It involves a heap of trust and a lot of open communication, which in turn makes a stronger foundation."

Two years ago they started cataloguing their sexual adventures on a Twitter page named Quietly Kinky which led to hundreds of people asking for sex advice.

But it was only when Chris was made redundant from his job in IT, just over a year ago, the couple decided to base their career on their mutual love of sex.

Today as well as organising the sex parties, Chris and JoJo bill themselves as 'sex educators' and have seen hundreds of clients from their 20s to their 60s who have concerns in the bedroom - complete with demonstrations.

JoJo, who previously as a masseuse, said: "Someone may come to see us and ask for advice and we can help with technique with demonstrations if the client wants but can also help break down any feelings of shame and embarrassment.

"There's still so much shame associated with sex, which causes problems and we want to help break that down.

"People want to be able to talk about sex without being judged or ridiculed.

"We have clients of all ages and occupations - from a professor to a bus driver - couples and single men and women. They need help so we give it to them.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine we would be doing what we are doing and sex would turn into our day job.

"The thing is sex is fun and free. It would be a shame if people weren't enjoying it."
