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.

Also 95% of women have barbie vaginas... which only 10% of women have. So that's why they're confident to go on to. Not a range of bodies imo.

It can be a bit overly woke, though.

On a recent episode, a 30-something man was looking for a woman and said he was keen to settle down and have a family. He rejected a transgender person* who was born a man and obviously wouldn’t be able to have children with him but he rejected her on the basis that he wanted someone closer to his own age Hmm

*Lauren Harries AKA child antique prodigy James Harries who was actually really abusive towards him. Horrible person.

I just don't get how everyone seems to be bald downstairs. Surely if you're gonna be naked on telly you at least leave some pubes to hide your fud. Feels like a conspiracy lol.

LemonPrism · 19/09/2019 00:10

Of the women on there*

InglouriousBasterd · 19/09/2019 00:15

I watched one a while back where the female ‘picker’ didn’t shave and was proud of it. She chose the guy who was ‘amazed’ by the sight of actual body hair and by the catch up, she had shaved it all as he didn’t like it. Depressing.

Judith was hysterical and horrifying in equal measure Grin

Pinkbonbon · 19/09/2019 00:19

I remember that episode, totally deflating when she decided to shave it for him - and I don't think he stayed with her anyway?

Wonder if the show encourages them all to wax first or something...

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.

As someone has pointed out the Naked Chef wasn't naked so I don't feel as stupid as you obviously think I am. As for 'grow up' how old do you want me to be before I'm allowed to comment? 100? Finally I'm very pleased life isn't a Jane Austen novel, I'm not a fan of her writing.

Sorry to show my ignorance again but can I ask BeachComber1 to explain what 'a bit overly woke' means?

I didn't stay tuned in long enough to notice if the men were bald - I agree, If the women are always bald it really wouldn't reflect the percentage of the general population.

Judith. Oh dear God she shocked me. I wondered if something had gone wrong in her brain and she had a new wild personality.

The thumb guy is a famous moron aound Hull

DoctorTwo · 19/09/2019 01:35

@Patroclus as the mighty Deece sang Hull ain't a bad place to be. Or maybe they were on The Highway To Hull...

Jux · 19/09/2019 01:46

DD made me watch it with her once; in return, I made her promise never to go on it.

WatchingTheMoon · 19/09/2019 01:51

It's so weird to me that the British are too shy to get changed in a changing room without doing some mad towel dance, or to go topless on a beach, but getting naked on national TV is somehow OK.

NB not all British

BadLad · 19/09/2019 01:54

Finally I'm very pleased life isn't a Jane Austen novel, I'm not a fan of her writing.

Missing the point, but being a fan has nothing to do with wanting life to be like that.

I'm like Kurt Vonnegut's writing very much, but would hate to live in one.

I don’t have synasthesia but it’s the only programme I can “smell”

SilverySurfer · 19/09/2019 01:59

But I don't want life to be like that, nor do I want to see naked bodies on my tv screen. Call me old fashioned, I don't care.

Surely if the contestants are to judge men's penises they need to be erected?

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 19/09/2019 07:16

I watched it when it first was on

I too can’t get over how desperate people are for their 5 minutes of fame what do they tell their families

One guy after being introduced to the women he choose and they had a very awkward shaking of hands/embrace was obviously getting a hard on it was so awkward he was covering himself presenter (Anna) was pretending she hadn’t noticed and women he choose dare not look down

I guess the shock and entertainment value keeps viewers watching

Ooh maybe he's actually Yoni Brian??

BringMeTea · 19/09/2019 08:28

Funny thread. Thanks OP. Total cringefest of a show. Why are some people so desperate?

Longlongsummer · 19/09/2019 08:38

I’m not sure we should be too harsh on the people who go on the show. It is kind of brave and it’s not like they are doing anyone any harm.

Still weird as hell though! Grin

Imagine turning it on and there was our nephew, or postman in the buff.

Elmo311 · 19/09/2019 08:47

I watched it last night too (was feeding my 5 month old and the remote was too far away!) the woman in the 'pink' box did have amazing breasts though!

Ponoka7 · 19/09/2019 08:52

"Wonder if the show encourages them all to wax first or something..."

It doesn't.

Unfortunately one night my DD was watching it and i was in the room. Her 20 year old friend was on it. Sje also likes 'party' holiday destinations and goes on boat parties were they are practically nude.

I've known two other people who've been on it. Both with good jobs, one not looking for fame.

It's like a bucket list thing for some. It's a risky step up from the 90's shows, the Word/Girlie show. Also Euro trash, who liked to show the German, Swedish naked game shows and adverts.

Witchofzog · 19/09/2019 08:53

Do 10 percent of women have "barbie fannies" though. Where are the stats for this?

I cant get worked up any programme. For decades tv has tried to be shocking. Does anyone remember The Word and the Young Hopefuls in the 90's. If it offends switch off. I find it quite interesting from a woman's body perspective just to see how different we all are. Though the lack of body hair for the majority is a bit sad.

RuffleCrow · 19/09/2019 08:58

It's a weird concept. I don't think many women are particularly aroused by an array of ownerless flaccid penises. Attraction is about the whole person, surely?

Then again i've had my far share of disappointing sex with people i found attractive clothed. Maybe a 'how do you like to have sex?' Quiz would be better. Like blind date for the youporn generation? Hmm

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 19/09/2019 08:58

I don't think there is an odd amount of no pubes, if I'm honest... there was a stat on Twitter about this and I think it said something like 68% of the women who'd appeared had pubic hair. I wonder if it's just something Mumsnet/women with pubic hair notice more, as they are aware of it, which introduces a bias?

I haven't watched last nights; but there's usually a blend of men/women with different hair/body shapes/etc. It's quite nice for that.

Judith was hilarious and awful. Her next door neighbour live tweeted that episode on Twitter Grin
