Naked Attraction and messages about women's bodies

[JenniferYellowHat1980]

I've never seen it before. So far the male 'picker' wants someone who has 'neat' labia and is slim. All the fanjos are bald. I dread DD seeing this shit when she's older. AIBU to think this has to be dire for girls' body confidence? (Don't know how the men will be presented yet, of course).

If you don't like the message they are sending, send you own message back by not watching it.
I've never seen it, don't intend to watch it, and would doubt the intelligence of anyone that does watch it.

Girls will be watching it though. I have no intention of doing so again.

It does reverse and they have all men to pick from and sometimes gay picks etc.

Personally I just think it's a bit of fun. It just proves the point we all like different types and different people.

All you need to do is say, "DD, there are some right tossers in the world. Just avoid as many as you can and remember you'll never be happy in a relationship with a misogynist."

It's always the bloke with the biggest cock who gets chosen, so it works both ways.

The show is dire. Fuck knows why I watched it more than once.

I saw it once, it utterly depressed me.

Wtf?! Is this a show on regular tv? People showing their private parts?! The world is getting worse by the day..

It's true about the men too though...if you believe that's all 'normal' then we all have an issue

Naked attraction might be gratuitous rubbish, but it isn't misogynist.

They have women picking men, men picking women, women picking women & men picking men. No other species involved, yet.

Someone pansexual on now, picking from a mixture of men and women naked, all different types of bodies etc. Trans people etc.

It's not everyone's cup of tea but it's not misogynistic. And not every body they have on there is hair free (if that's an issue, I think it's a personal choice) and / or "perfect" in the media sense.

It is what it is really. We have lots of channels...!

Seriously the bloke with the biggest penis always gets chosen

I'm really surprised at that - what if he's a grower and not a show-er? Shouldn't they be focusing on the arms or other parts they're attracted to

Has series 2 started again?
I hated series 1 and can't believe they have made another.

It's making me feel sick, because I just don't want to see someone else's genitals. I'd turn it off but I'm doing work and the remote is AWOL.

I didn't like the zooming in on the bald labia in the first half, ive never seen my own in that much detail. It's just too graphic. I dread to think what my children would make of this if it was still on in 10 years time. Gross.

You can pretty much guarantee it'll be worse in 10yrs time!

I watched it once out of curiosity and it was all a bit yuck. Especially all the bald fanjos.

That they also have women picking men on superficial criteria doesn't make the men's superficial (and much more harmful) criteria any less misogynist.

Even it was misandrist, too, that wouldn't make it less misogynist.

Men cannot, and do not do harm to their own bodies in order to get a bigger penis.

Women can and do get breast implants and have their labia cut off.

There's a difference there.

I'm really surprised at that - what if he's a grower and not a show-er? Shouldn't they be focusing on the arms or other parts they're attracted to

It's probably all faked.

Most women have other things they're attracted to than big penises. Arms. Hands. Nice face. Hair, et cetera.

If all women on the show consistently choose the biggest penis... definitely scripted, they're told what to choose.

(I suspect that's the case with most reality TV)

I watched this a couple of time the first series, it's not my cup of tea.
However the episodes I watched it was a fair cross section of bodies.
The biggest penis certainly didn't get chosen and I was surprised, if that's the right word, at some of the people who did get picked.

It's not about picking the 'best' bodies as such, more people picking their preferred attributes.
not many people wanted the typically attractive ones.

Well I've just forced myself to watch one from the first series, the whole time I was thinking I was watching Black Mirror

Naked attraction is clearly the worst programme ever made and also weirdly the most British. I have never imagined people could be so totally polite about someone's body when they're clearly lying and aren't attracted to it.

Instead of saying 'that persons penis has disappeared because it's chilly' they muttered something about body hair.

Utterly peculiarly British.

Erm, VestalVirgin men can and do get surgery to get bigger penises. Phalloplasty is a thing. As is having liposuction around the base of the penis to make it appear bigger. There's also circumcision for cosmetic reasons, and what amounts to a facelift for your balls.
