Naked Attraction

I think that this show, although probably originally intended to be purely exploitative, has accidentally served as a healthy antidote to the unrealistic bodily expectations fostered by Hollywood and the fashion industry. There is indeed 'someone for everyone'. But there is one irritating factual error which is made in every show. The presenter repeatedly asks what a contestant 'thinks of the vagina'. That question cannot be answered unless that contestant has access to stirrups and a speculum! All that can be seen are the vulva.

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.

Its a show where a contestant gets to see naked parts of other people, and slowly eliminates those he or she does not feel attracted to, hoping to end with someone he feels totally attracted to, naked.

First! Can you IMAGINE the COURAGE it takes to appear on national TV nude!!! I have nothing but RESPECT for the people taking part in this show. I could NOT do it, because I am too shy, and self conscious.

Secondly, it is incredibly educational, so people can see how others are nude. Something not all of us have the privilege to do without all sorts of costs and complications. Anyone who has dated, knows that... but imagine being able to SEE the body of the person before you commit. That is a bonus many of us would love to have.

The only negative thing I feel about this show, hence "only" 7/10 from me... is that understandably the people taking part... are not the most "beautiful" out there, but then again, THOSE people would not want you to see them naked on national TV, unless they were acting, and the role required nudity. Of course in movies, there are ways around it, like Angie Dickinson, who had a body double, in a shower scene, or CGI, as in "the shaming" in "Game of Thrones". So there are solutions.

But this show has real people, with real bodies, and could be very interesting to those who do not know what NORMAL people's bodies look like. NOT all people have gym hard bodies. So maybe this really deserves at least an 8. So be it.

PS. My GUESS of why the low reviews: ENVY. That someone else gets to do a show they would love to be on. Hah.

I can't resist a joke to end... Its hilarious every time the guys refer to the decision they say: "Its SOOO hard!" ... *ahem* Its doesn't look very hard! :-D Sorry! Sorry! I HAD to. (Just watching one of the shows, right now. Great stuff.)

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.

Living in Europe, in East Germany, I have no moral qualms about full nudity. I go FKK all the way! I am sex-positive, and I have no problem with gendered or agendered sexed beings giving each other joy with their bodies in between. But this is different! A lookist 'meat market' of vulnerable human flesh sold on air for sex?! Really This is degrading to all humanity and all forms of life! This is what Confederate and Nazi and Apartheid dreams are made of!
