Can't sleep. Got up, put the washing on, made coffee and flicked through the tv, only to come across ch4 Naked Attraction ShockShock

Wtf? A fully dressed male choosing a date from 6 naked females - who in the world thought that was a good idea for a game show? And why would anyone want to do it?

I'm no prude but really?

Yep weird. Watched one episode ages ago, haven't watched another. Feels like some sort of dirty voyeurism. How embarrassing for their parents!

It's a bloody awful idea for a programme and I am disappointed that Anna Ryder Richardson would stoop so low as to host such a lot of trash.

The one (and only) episode I saw was of a lesbian woman picking from a group of naked women. I can't imagine seeing one of the episodes where they pick from a group of guys and we have to hear to inevitable observations about knob size. Hmm

The whole concept makes me shudder and shake my head like a bewildered old gimmer who just doesn't understand how we got here. Grin

Oh that is awful. Makes you think Mary Whitehouse got it right.
You probably don't know who she was Google her.

Oh God. WTF has happened to the world when stuff like this is being made? I don't fit into this world anymore. I don't understand it, or even want to try to. I bet in 20 years, Running Man will be a real game show.

I'm not sure I think it has some merits to it:

-Somewhat normal bodies being shown
-Not seen in a sexual light
-In an ever increasing world of people being precise on exactly what they are looking for, it has some merits that you won't get into dating someone and then go eww ( it's not nice but does happen)


Obviously the taking one part at a time isn't a great format, as well as other changes I'd make to the show, but I do find it interesting that people are aghast now at seeing normal naked bodies on TV

They DO look and judge mens bodies. The one I saw was a women picking from men.
The show is not sexist just distasteful and weird.

After embarrassing bodies and other programmes of their ilk, nothing they put on there surprises me anymore. Well weird, nothing says great long term prospects like some firm boobs or a big wang Hmm

I saw this last week, except it was a woman picking from naked blokes (much discussion around size etc). Tbh just thought it slightly weird. I did, however, see Gordie Shore recently. That was an OMG 😱 Moment!!

I'm not aghast at seeing naked bodies - I'm incredulous that anyone would think it's a good format for a game show!

And even more Shock that enough people for a whole series would want to take part!

I caught an episode of this.

Very odd program. And yes, they have women picking naked men too, not just men picking naked women.
