Naked Attraction - I'm beyond shocked.

I was flicking through channels looking for something to watch and this came on. I had no idea it's title meant they were actually naked! What possesses anyone, man or woman to go on television completely stark naked? Is is just me who's being an old fuddy duddy to be horrified at this? The words embarrassed and cringemaking don't begin to cover it IMO.

not only that, but the 'choosing' contestant tonight was a transwoman, who at the end kept on talking about their 'fanny'

NeutralJanet · 18/09/2019 22:34

I've watched it once out of curiosity and its not really my thing, I agree about it being cringeworthy. Presumably the participants are there of their own free will though, so meh, to each their own. Plenty of other channels to watch.

I just can't believe they then have to return to work,knowing that potentially everyone they know has seen their bits!!
And what must their mums/grandmas think?!

StillWeRise · 18/09/2019 22:36

there is something strangely dispassionate about it though

StillWeRise I didn't know that - didn't have the slightest interest in watching more than the minute I sat here with my mouth dropped open. Presumably they also have women being chosen by men too?

velocitygirl7 OMG yes, going into work the next day - even worse if you have meetings with clients/customers - can you imagine. I'm trying to visualise my parent's reaction if I had done this when I was young and completely failing. Mum wouldn't have been impressed to say the least but my dear old Dad would have been mortified.

DH and I used to sometimes watch it as background noise while we did other stuff. I put it on the other night while DS and I were packing for holiday and he was fascinated but shocked at watching it. It can be quite good though in showing different body types and what is attractive to one person might not be to others. I do worry I've mentally scarred DS though!

trilbydoll · 18/09/2019 22:53

We always end up watching the whole episode to see who they choose. It's such a waste of our lives but we are hooked Grin

Fuma · 18/09/2019 22:55

It's a very weird programme; especially given the amount of tits and cocks on it, it's probably the least erotic thing I've ever seen. Just people standing around awkwardly not really knowing what to say, some of whom don't have any clothes on. So in a sense absolutely British I guess. 🤣

fergusthefrog · 18/09/2019 22:57

If you think regular naked attraction is mad check out Judith who was on there recently.....she was something else HmmShock

Aaarrgghhh · 18/09/2019 22:57

I couldn’t do it. I actually recognised someone off the show once (I was also flicking through and had to stop when I seen her) it was so cringe and the guy she ended up with looked like a total thumb. I didn’t expect I’d see what her vulva looked like but there you go, thankfully I don’t live even remotely close so no chance of bumping into her lol

zeezee3 · 18/09/2019 23:14

@SilverySurfer YANBU. It's pigging awful.

I cannot IMAGINE what would possess someone to go on this Godawful show. Imagine seeing your neighbour or work colleague on there? You would not be able to look 'em in the eye!

That said, I think it's people searching for fame who go on there. Not 'ordinary' folk...

One woman on there (several weeks ago,) said she wants a man with a massive cock, as she has had 3 kids and has a fanny like a jam-jar! Shock

disclaimer

ladies bits (inside) do NOT end up like a fecking jam jar after 3 kids.... something must have gone wrong OR she was exaggerating/attention seeking/taking the piss.

DamonSalvatoresDinner · 18/09/2019 23:16

I'm sorry but if one of my employees appeared on that show they'd be looking for a new job. I would not want someone with such poor judgement representing my company. There is no POINT to that show. It only exists to allow weirdos to show their private parts off to the world. No one chooses their partner on what their penis looks like so it's not a dating show. All penises are bloody ugly no matter what.

ReanimatedSGB · 18/09/2019 23:16

I was once on TV with no clothes on (No, it has mercifully never shown up on Youtube). It was cold.

zeezee3 · 18/09/2019 23:17

@Aaarrgghhh OMG, I remember the guy who looked like a thumb!

Was it THIS guy?

It was within the last year I think...

Where are the pubes? No one seems to have any anymore.

I'm really glad it's not just me - I'm in my 70s and I never know if it's just me being an out of touch oldie.

HollowTalk · 18/09/2019 23:21

I think that about family, friends, neighbours and colleagues, too! I just can't imagine why anyone would do this. And you know damn well that word would get around and every single person, whether you like them or loathe them, would see you naked - and given there's a huge chance you'll be dumped based on what you look like, you have the humiliation of that on top!

PickAChew · 18/09/2019 23:23

Naked in the title, but no idea it meant naked?

Grow up. It's a human body and life isn't a Jane Austen novel.

IDontDrinkTea · 18/09/2019 23:23

There’s an episode recently where the woman choosing makes all the naked men dance to the Lords my shepherd. I wish I was joking, this actually happened

timshelthechoice · 18/09/2019 23:24

No pubes, loads of piercings and tattoos, it's cringe.

Leflic · 18/09/2019 23:25

I am at a loss with this show too.

If you’re judging by looks why can’t you see their face from the off? Surely that’s a better indication of chemistry than if they can swing their cock in time to music.

How does looking at a penis or vulva tell you anything about how good they are in bed if sex that you want? Aside from the fact they like to be an exhibitionist,

I wouldn’t mind a nudist dating show really. Your bits and bobs are the least important things to them I guess.

Etino · 18/09/2019 23:25

You’ve made me catch up on +1
I find it fascinating. And as pp
said quite dispassionate.

PickAChew · 18/09/2019 23:26

Aaarrgghhh I recognized someone on how clean is your house, once. Their house was fucking minging!

Melroses · 18/09/2019 23:27

Wow - didn't expect 'the guy who looked like a thumb' to actually look like a thumb - thought it was some sort of slang Grin

BishBashBoshy · 18/09/2019 23:28

@AnneLovesGilbert I was going to say exactly that! Everybody shaves. There was a woman on there who made a point about her having hairy legs and hairy underarms but then when she came out naked she was hairy everywhere apart from her privates which were completely bald.

Now, your body hair, do what you like with it but I refuse to believe that the amount of waxed female and male bits on that show is representative of the population. And when men go on about liking it "clean" and hair being dirty it irritates me no end.

Oh, and the amount of people (normally men) who don't cut their toenails is horrible.
