Naked Attraction: where are the pubes??

I know, I know, it's a dreadful programme, but it's hilarious. But none of the women have any pubic hair. Is this really the norm now? I find that really sad.

There are practical considerations though. Perhaps the filmakers don't want to watch a bunch of men constantly feeling themselves to keep things in the required state.

I’m 28 and bare. I find it much more comfortable and sex is better. going for a wax every 4 weeks doesn’t seem high maintenance to me? DP trims or shaves his depending how he feels.

annandale · 28/08/2018 07:41

More comfortabke how?

Maelstrop · 28/08/2018 08:45

Ugh, shaving rash and badly plucked chicken look on that programme.

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 09:51

OMG i watched this last night and I am so shocked. I shouted for DH to come in and he was the same. Now we are in our 40s but don't consider ourselves prudes but what the hell is this all about? Why are these people so relaxed? Where is their pubic hair? will they ever go back to their jobs and families? WHY??????

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 09:53

The presenter actually said "What do you think of her vulva?" while the camera zoomed in. So wrong. I really worry for young people.

cheshireagain · 29/08/2018 10:08

I feel really stupid for saying this... and don't know how to put it.

So when you're a little girl, all our bits look the same - or so I believe? As in tucked away nice and neat.

Some women's inner labia on this program (and I'm aware from other sources) come outside of their bits; what causes this? Does it happen during puberty?

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 10:11

Yes puberty i would think. It's just the lack of hair on this show that makes you notice different sizes and shapes of those parts. I'm all for hair on men and women, definitely looks better. Hate the last chicken in shop look!

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 10:13

Yes I'm aware it's personal choice and that's not what I find most shocking about this programme. I just don't get it. It's really crap tv and could be damaging to young people watching and taking part.

MarthasGinYard · 29/08/2018 10:13

Every time I see this thread pop up I get a blinking ear worm....Hmm

"Bring on the pubes, where are the pubes....don't bother ....they're here"

sazzle92 · 29/08/2018 10:15

25yo here, and prefer no hair/neatly trimmed at a maximum.
Waxed once and either had a very poor beautician experience or I'm a wuss..

To those who ask why I choose to.... because I prefer it. It is more comfortable and convenient for me to have little to no hair down below.

To those who then ask is my man doing the same... no. He isn't. Because that is his right as a human being to have his pubes how he wants them!

It's not a one-bald-both-bald kind of deal...
Obviously we take each other's preferences and likes into consideration, but not once has he asked me to shave, and he never will!
And i know that should i later in life for whatever reason choose to grow a full bush, ben he will support me as it will be my choice.

Contrary to a lot of what I read on MN, we have a brilliant relationship, supportive, and open in communication too...

Most tv is crap to be fair, but as a pp said it's actually quite a good programme for making people, especially young people, realise that all bodies are different and there is no "normal" and as for damaging the people taking part, all reality tv can do? which is why there's been previous contestants of programmes like love island who have committed suicide, but do we stop all reality tv because of it??

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 12:15

This is a different level of reality.

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 12:17

I personally would worry that my teen DDs will feel pressured to remove their pubic hair because nearly all of the women I saw last night had. Forget personal choice, there is peer and social pressure. lads standing there saying I don't like hair would make them feel ugly and unwanted for having such a natural thing.

murphys · 29/08/2018 12:23

I am not in the UK but need to know....

What is the point of this tv show?

CurlyhairedAssassin · 29/08/2018 12:43

“What is the point of this tv show?”

I’m guessing there are two points. The first is so that people can compare their own body against others’, or pure curiosity about other people’s naked bodies. Which is stupid because all this people on that show are presumably very relaxed and proud of the way their body looks. So no, it isn’t “real life” at all, just like all so-called reality TV shows.

Isn’t the second point obvious? Titillation? Contests are wank material.

Either way, it’s not what anyone on that programme should never proud of being a part of.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 29/08/2018 12:44

CurlyhairedAssassin · 29/08/2018 12:46

Argh, should have written “not what anyone on that programme should be proud of being a part of”

actualpuffins · 29/08/2018 12:49

It's surely ruder more exposing on TV if women don't have hair in their pubic region. Perhaps that's why they want them to remove the hair, so it titilates viewers to be able to see more? In which case that is pretty horrible.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 29/08/2018 12:52

I'm 36 and I've been having Hollywood waxes since I was 18. I've had requests from men to grow some back but I refuse to.

Orlandointhewilderness · 29/08/2018 12:52

i love the feeling of being hairless. however - i don't love the itchy regrowth or the horrible shaving rash so am tidied but certainly not bald!!

CurlyhairedAssassin · 29/08/2018 13:18

I don’t think it is the norm to have full bush anymore. I think that is a dying thing, in the same way that most women shave or wax their legs. I say this as a full bush person. I wax when I know I’m going to be wearing a swimming costume because I don’t like things poking out the sides and I’ve got PCOS so more hair than average.

Last year I was pre-holiday wax and had to had an ultrasound on my leg. I hadn’t realised they would have to do up to my groin and the look in the young medic’s face when she saw the side growth out my knickers! Grin. A very definite double take. I would have found at hugely embarrassing in the past but just thought her reaction was funny, and I wasn’t bothered at all.

I’m assuming she sees a lot of female groins and wasn’t expecting to see such a luxuriant one as mine!

ChortleFace88 · 31/08/2018 22:11

Week 2 - another 5 girls, only 1 with pubes. Man gets rid of the pube girl in round 1 as she’s not “tidy” Hmm

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 11:35

Oh FFS! What did Anna Richardson say to that? I hope she pulled him up on it!

annandale · 01/09/2018 11:38

What the hell was she going to say, given that she's hosting a show like that? 'You really shouldn't judge people on the appearance of their genitals'?
