Is Naked Attraction suitable for kids?

[insomniasucks]

My friend told me recently that she lets her 11 year old girl and 10 year old boy watch Naked Attraction with her and her partner. She said it was educational and that she didn't want them growing up being ashamed of their bodies. AIBU to be shocked by this or am I being a prude? I have children of a similar age and would never allow them to watch something so graphic.

God no! Although I do watch it sometimes with DH for a laugh. I love it how everyone says they're shy, whilst getting their knob or vag out on TV! Imagine going to work the next day 🥺

Sorry, but that's grim. There are other less weird ways for them to find out about different body types. That is the MOST shallow show, they always seem surprised when the 'date' goes horribly wrong and the man/woman turns out to be incompatible almost immediately.

WTF? No.

Not to mention, most of them are stripped of all body hair and lots are smattered with tats... that's not what a usual naked human looks like.

I'd be tempted to report to SS

YANBU

When your friend’s poor kids develop and grow pubic hair they will think that something is wrong with themselves because i haven’t see one natural bush on that programme.

Most people in that show are totally hair free downstairs and when someone does dare to show SOME pubic hair it is clearly trimmed and waxed into “shape” and is something of a feature “oooo look, someone sports pubic hair”.

I watched this for the first time last week....not purposefully but it came on and I couldn't turn away....To very loosely paraphrase Marlene Dietrich, WHERE HAS ALL THE PUBIC HAIR GONE?

One young woman had the tiniest amount left which was as trimmed and manicured as the lawns of Buckingham palace but the young man turned her down straight away as he 'has to eat off there'

I had to turn off when it came to the breasts (weirdest sentence I've ever written) as it was so depressing. Like a sort of ancient Roman slave market.

Oh, YANBU

It's not even suitable for adults - its' absolute shote!

And it may stop them being "ashamed of their bodies" (though there's no reason why they should be unless she keeps telling them there's something wrong with them) but it will teach them that people are purely judged on appearance alone, and if your naked body (whether your's proud of it or not) doesn't fit someone's ideal, you're rubbish.

That was EXACTLY what I thought - I saw the first and last ten minutes once, and there wasn't a hairy fanny among them - and even the bloke had apparently had a full back, sack and crack job.

It was creeeeeeepy . . . . .

Thank God! I thought there was something wrong with me for not wanting to watch it.

I was forced to watch it once with friends. Never again. I thought it just another reality series featuring some pretty sad people absolutely desperate for their five minutes of questionable fame.

*shite, not shote

The auto carrot strikes again

Yanbu, it's an awful programme full-stop but especially for children. However I wouldn't have challenged her on it.

ok. Full frontal nudity alone- wouldn’t bother me.

But the stuff they talk about on there, like rimming etc.
No, not suitable.

Oh god, that show is fucking grim. Why does she want her kids to hear people judge people on how their body looks.

Contestants get rejected for having too much hair, too much labia, odd looking penis.

Nooo way. Aside from the very obvious reasons already stated but surely it’s also on way too late for that age group!

No, I don't have an older child but my concern wouldn't be just because of the nudity but because of how people treat each other on that show!

Some of the couples go out afterwards and they show them actually going into hotel rooms with each other to have sex and meeting up (or not) 3 weeks later, slagging each other off for not contacting them back after the sex!

Oh god, I was scrolling through a few weeks ago and saw this - it's such a mad idea. Equally mental is called (I think ) Sex Tape - I had been innocently watching Channel 4 news live, when I closed my lap top with the tab still open. Opened it a few hours later, the page refreshed - what the actual?! Film yourself and your partner having sex, and then chat about it with some strangers (who you'll have also watched having sex), who'll give feedback or something. It all brings out my Mary Whitehouse (not a euphemism...).

Body positive?!

I've not seen a single pube on it, ever.

So her dd will shave her pubes the second they grow, and both will be completely paranoid about the shape/size/flabbiness of their genitals. Great...

No and I don't think it's body positive at all, quite the opposite

I don't think it's the nudity that makes inappropriate, after all it's just human bodies. But I don't think the conversation and commenting on the naked bodies is good for kids.

I'm all for body confidence but watching Naked Attraction will have the opposite effect.

It’s not even the nudity that’s the main issue, it’s what they talk about! I’m quite easy going with what my children watch, but this would be an absolute no no no for me.

Hell to the no! It's also on at 10pm so why are they staying up so late?

I used to watch distraction (Jimmy Carr) and anatomy for beginners (Gunther van Hagen) when I was 12.

😅 - not with my parents I must add.
