Naked Attraction

Amazing how somebody can make themselves so instantly less attractive by going for poorly chosen and distastefully placed tattoos boggles the mind. Lots of that going on apparently. Similar for unattractive piercings. As far as cocks go, I have experienced many, many, many, and the assumption that you can predict the length and / or thickness is a fallacy. We are all each full of surprises. I really like this show.

It's a bit of innocent silliness, but I have a feeling that this show may help many people feel reassured that their bodies are "normal" too.

I salute the people who come onto this show - whatever their motives might be. They are my heroes.

The host becomes a bit cringe-inducing at times, as if she can't quite believe that she is saying what she does, but that's OK.

I do sometimes wish there could be more attractive people on the show; I think it is a bit skewed towards the lower 80 percent, but maybe that's just me.

The concept is novel: Normalize regular bodies and start with sexual attraction first. Unfortunately it is anything but. This is still a TV show, which means all the people featured had to have the desire to appear naked on the show, they had to audition for these parts, and then casting directors still hand selected each and every one of these people to ensure they were screen-ready candidates with the right personalities (and bodies). This is all pretty evident by the fact the average penis size of the men appearing in the show are above the national UK/US average penis size. This is also evident by the fact the average woman's BMI (body mass index) on this show is substantially lower than the UK/US national average BMI. There a few exceptions here or there, but let's be honest: if there were six naked, ugly, and morbidly obese people in every selection round, no one would watch this show. At best, this show is low brow fodder to make us not feel the same guilt as watching porn guised as normalizing that everyone of us has a different body.

I live in the states, and I applaud this show for being so open. When it comes to attractions for life partners or leisure encounters the majority of people first look at gender and then physical attraction. We can lie to ourselves and other people and say we look for personality, hair, teeth, etc... first, but the former is ALWAYS one of first 2 things we look for in a partner.

This show is the opposite of "The Dating Game" where contestants were questioned as they sat behind a curtain and then revealed at the end. If you remember that show (or YT it), you will see that most of those contestants where hand picked (for that era) before being presented. I'm sure we have some of that going on here, but there is much more diversity then usually allowed which is a good thing.

Another reviewer said their are too many tats and piercings to give this a good rating and while I somewhat disagree, it can be a little much in the sense that all contestants feel like they may have been pulled from the same district/burrough/providence based on appearance. I am not familiar with the different regions the contestants come from (based on the different accents), and although it is trendy for the younger generation to "bedazzle" their bodies it seams there is not a lot of diversity in that area. It could be that perhaps these type of people are more open towards nudity and that's why they don't mind showing their bodies off. Or it could just be that they want to be on tv... I don't claim to know.

If HBO wasn't trying to rid itself of the stigma "It's not porn, it's HBO", then perhaps we could get the series off the ground to other areas of the world. I don't usually write reviews, but I felt a little sad that this show only had 5 reviews and has gone on for 4 seasons which just shows that we still have a ways to go before being an open society. If I had any critique for the show, it would be to interview the contestants separately afterwards to find how the dates actually went, if there were any further dates, and give their perspective. It could even be a separate web based interview if it where to salacious for tv (like Big Brother etc...). Weather Hipster, Business Man, or Country Bumpkin, one thing stands true... I want a beer and see something naked.

Cheeky show... with an interesting premise.

Great that there is NO body shaming and it features real people with real naked bodies... Big, small, fat, thin, fit, hairy, scars and all.

Bravo for producing a program that doesn't pretend everyone has to look like Barbie or Ken to be deserving of attention and maybe love.

P.S. Love it when the so called hottest ones get rejected. And I also love it when the so called hottest ones get picked and the date is a disaster. Proving as we all know... looks can be deceiving.

Chill out people... the nude body is a beautiful thing and should be celebrated.
