Love Island USA lived as much as its title when bombshell Jen Terry offered surprising details about her sex life.
Throughout the Sunday, June 14, episode of the hit Peacock series, Jen was asked about probably the most surprising place where she had sex. She needed a moment to recollect but Jen ultimately selected “a ship in Miami” as her most memorable encounter.
Love Island USA viewers had a front row seat to the sexcapades that took place this 12 months in Fiji. While past seasons featured some couples finding ways to share an intimate moment or two, it felt like season 7 set some type of record with the quantity of sexual “journeys” happening within the communal bedroom.
“We did have a code word [for sex which was] ‘journey’ and it type of traumatizes me now. When any individual outside is like, ‘Oh, a journey?’ I’m like, ‘How dare you!’ I’m clutching my pearls,” Amaya “Papaya” Espinal joked on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in July 2025. “People were having journeys.”
Since there wasn’t room for much privacy, Amaya confirmed that it did get awkward at night, adding, ”I’m like, ‘Can I sleep?’ We already don’t get enough sleep around here and then you definately hear [sexual noises]. The earplugs [we got] weren’t plugging? Those were low quality earplugs because we were still in a position to hear things. Especially if there’s a pair right next to you.”
Amaya was also asked about her time in The Hideaway with fellow winner Bryan Arenales. (The pair have since split.)
“It was steamy, all right. We were hot and we were sweating. It really was an amazing feeling to simply have that personal and intimate moment,” she gushed. “We actually do wish to check with one another and we love being next to one another. The subsequent morning, we were just sitting and we were just quiet. It was beautiful and silent. I actually did feel like I discovered my best friend where I could yap away or have a quieter moment.”
When asked whether Bryan really did “eat that kitty in The Hideaway,” Amaya coyly replied, “Well he definitely took that advice. We had an amazing night.”
While Love Island USA viewers know that “journey” is a code word the Islanders use for sex, the term “folded” is one other one which has been brought up multiple times last season. Chris Seeley quietly revealed to Bryan that he “folded” the night prior with Huda Mustafa, adding, “I wasn’t going to inform anybody. [But] I couldn’t do it any more. I actually tried [to hold out]. I just didn’t wish to tell the opposite boys.”
In a confessional, Chris elaborated on how having sex has helped his reference to Huda evolve.
“I feel like that was just an amazing step into our physical connection that we probably don’t show in front of everyone else,” he noted. “It definitely made us feel stronger in our physical connection. That is de facto all I can say about that.”
