Other elements are inspired by game shows such as Takashi's Castle, Survivor, American Gladiators, and a few other Japanese sex game shows that I don't even know the names of but found on the internet.

CHAPTER 1: Introductions and the First Event
"Welcome everybody to the exciting new game show; Sexual Gladiators! I'm your host; Ray Gunn," the dashing looking man with a microphone in his hand says to the camera. After showing his good looks and roguish smile that could've come off of a romance novel cover, the camera then pans to the interior of a stadium in which various obstacles are suspended over bodies of water, stretching out nearly the whole length of the expansive interior, cumulating in a large maze with six different corridors and a series of six trenches of exercise mats that have poles planted in the center. "Thanks to censorship now being abolished in North America, we are now free to bring you, the viewing audience at home, what you truly want and deserve: full contact sports combined with gratuitous nudity and lots of sex without the underground internet connections. Our contestants today, six couples from around the continent, will compete in front of our live audience in six stages for the grand prize in which the winners will leave here with half a million dollars and the losers will be going home with a baby in the belly."
Gunn appears as he's walking across a stage now that angles to show six couples, all Caucasian, in a line; the men standing beside their bound, spread eagled women on an upright X cross. "So let's meet our contestants," he says, walking up to a man and a woman wearing blue. The average built man has nothing on but a sparring helmet and speedo shorts. The woman, a slim and trim blonde, is wearing a tight blue vest and blue speedo shorts, looking apprehensive. "Here's our Blue Team; Jon and Jen. You two have been married for three years now?"
"Uhh yeah..." Jon, a businessman according to the stats that flash on the side of the screen. "We're here today to hopefully get out from under our student loan debt."
"Excellent!" Gunn gushes as he moves next to Jen. "And how are you holding up, my dear?"
"O-Okay so far... just hoping my husband does well in this competition," she stammers out. Jen looks up and tugs at her leather cuffs keeping her wrists bound above her head. "Are these really necessary?"
"Well, we don't want you getting cold feet and running off on us now, do we? Besides, you signed a contract," Gunn flashes her a smile. "So now we'll see gladiator that your husband will be going up against is..." Gunn takes out a card from his suit pocket and looks at it. "THE BULL!" he says with a flourish. A tall, muscle ripped black man with a million dollar smile behind a black goatee smiles as his curtain nearby is ripped away and he's illuminated in a spotlight. He's standing with his large arms crossed wearing a black speedo with an impressive bulge in it. Gunn continues on in his explanations as ladies in the audience cheer and swoon at his handsomeness. "Bull is a former NFL Linebacker who dabbled in minor circuit wrestling and as you can see, ladies, he's happy to be here and ready for our debut games." As Gunn talks, Bull silently flirts with the ladies in the stands before walking over to stand next to the Blue Team.
"Moving on, we have our Red Team: Andrew and Leah," Gunn says, walking to the next couple wearing the same thing as the Blue Team, just in their own announced colors. "Says here that you two are devoutly Christian from the heart of Texas and have been married faithfully for five years now." He looks them over. "What the hell are you two doing here?"
"We need the money to pay bills," Andrew says, looking a bit on the scrawny side compared to Jon. His stats show him as a church office worker. "I've done well in High School sports and when we heard of this competition we thought; hey, easy money."
"Andrew holds a black belt in a couple of different styles," Leah, a mousy brunette, says from where she's shackled to her cross with a confident smile. Her stats list her as a housewife. "I've watched him spar with men twice his size and win."
"Well, let's see how you do with someone your own size then as you're matched against, Hung Lo!" Gunn announces when he pulls the next card out. A fit Asian man is revealed at the opposite end of the stage with short, jet black hair, wearing a black speedo like his fellow gladiator, Bull. Hung puts a fist into an open palm for a short bow and then walks across the stage to them. Gunn talks as Hung Lo walks over. "Hung Lo hails from the MMA circuit in Japan where he's already competed as a gladiator with our Asian affiliates in which this show is based off of. In three years of competition he has already racked up an overall 30 and 3 win/loss record in which 22 of those wins have been confirmed pregnancies."
When Hung takes his place alongside a now nervous looking Andrew and Leah, Gunn walks to the next couple in line on the stage. "Our Yellow Team is a newly engaged couple from Florida; Wes and Traci. So what would you do with the money if you win?"
Wes, a buff looking construction worker, leans down for the microphone. "We're planning on going from a simple wedding to a dream wedding in Aruba, Ray," he said with a slightly humbled and subdued tone.
"And you have no problem if your bride-to-be goes to the altar, deflowered?" Gunn asks.
"Well... considering he's already deflowered me..." Traci, a dark brunette with curves in the right places giggles. "We want a large family so we decided that we don't mind if our first one is his or one of the gladiators."
"Well then, with that in mind let me introduce you to your gladiator; Quiver!" Gunn says with a sweep of his hand back to the right side of the stage. The curtain pulls back and spotlights shine on a man who is tall, slightly buff, with long brown hair with a matching goatee. He looks like he should be on the beach surfing as he gives a roguish smile and a wink that makes the girls in the audience gush and swoon.
"Quiver?" Wes and Traci ask at the same time.
"That's right, he's a retiring minor porn star who has a reputation with the ladies that makes them quiver with pleasure just by looking at them," Gunn explains as he walks by them. "I'll leave you two to him as we move on to our Green Team: Cory and Kate! Now Cory, it says here that you're an illustrator for a comic book company and that you and Kate are recently married?"
"That's right," Cory, a tall man with a slight belly, confirms. "We just got married at the last comic book convention in Vegas after dating for a year."
"It was so sweet how he proposed to me at the top of the Stratosphere," Kate gushes from her cross, rolling her head and batting her green doe eyes at Cory. "It was so romantic."
"We'll see if that'll last as we have Doctor Climax for you," Gunn says, nodding to the stage left curtain. A tall man, slightly willowy, but with well defined arms stood. "The Doc here is a former special forces medic and was nicknamed the Benedict Cumberbatch of the Marines for... well... obvious reasons..." Doc smiles at that as he runs his hand back over his well cut black hair before walking out onto the stage to stand by them. He gives Cory a cordial nod and Kate a polite kiss on the cheek, making her blush.
"Now on to our Purple Team; Rob and Caitlyn, or just Cait to her friends." Gunn stops and looks up at Rob whose a barrel chested man standing a good head taller than him. "Damn... how did you miss our gladiator tryouts?" he wondered.
"Got me," Rob shrugged his broad shoulders.
"Says here that you two have been married for ten years, you have two kids, and you're swingers?" Gunn asks.
"That's right. So we figured why not kill two birds with one stone; get fucked and get paid for it. The kids could use a college fund."
"Well we got a man who's going to try to deny you that and give you another kid while he's doing it. From Canada, we have Hugh Johnson!" Gunn points to the stage right curtain where a 6'6", flowing red hair, bushy goatee, massive lumberjack of a man is standing there with crossed arms looking impressive.
"OOO! Honey!" Cait, a petite dirty blonde woman squeals with glee. "Can we take him home with us?"
"Unfortunately its just money and/or his semen that you're taking home today," Gunn laughs as he walks by. "And finally; our Orange Team; Mike and Abby," he says to two scrawny looking people who seem to epitomize the term 'Geek'. "You two are grad students from UCLA?"
