Dating Naked

Let's see we've had "Naked and Afraid", "naked and Afraid -UNCENSORED!", "Buying Naked" (supposedly buying a home for nudists). Now we have "Naked Dating". The problem is NONE of them are Naked or Nude. These poor saps are conned into appearing on a show naked , but what actually happens is that these shows generate a new career for someone. The blur artist. These is no more nudity involved than many shows that do not feature the word "nude" or "naked" in the title. Just bare butts and a lot of blurring of boobs, cocks, vagina's -even long distance shots of gays balls-from behind are blurred. So the obvious hook is to appeal to the voyeur in all of us. But if I am going to be tempted to watch a show which features the word "nude" or "naked' then I expect to see things that are not normally on display, otherwise what's the point? The TV show crew obviously get o see all the "naughty bits". And I guess the show's casts are too some degree exhibitionists. But the cast of "Naked and Afraid" could be in Speedos and bikinis-why make them go nude? They'll be just as cold and wet in minimum gear. Likewise the stupid reals estate show-"Buying naked" -this one is really pathetic, the cast are shown with table lamps clutching folders, behind candles etc. it disrespects the nudists it's supposed to represent. Can you imagine the direction? "OK, we want you naked, but we DO NOT want to see your cock or your pussy, you MUST always have something in front of them, Er hows that angle Bob, can you see cock?" and then the dating show? Surely if you are going to hook up with a potential mate, then an erection or two is going to happen? Obviously this will not be shown, but again, it's all so deceitful. I posted comments on one site about the "Naked and Afraid" show and got attacked for being a voyeur and somehow being a pervert, but honestly if you're not in some shape form or sense a voyeur why on earth would you tune in to a show promising nudity?

Initially, I was embarrassed to admit that I enjoyed watching the few episodes that I saw, but why should I be? Although it's not award winning TV, this show has some positive things going for it. Number one, it's entertaining. The situations are funny. In one episode, a young lady gets cold feet about dating in the buff, puts on her clothes, and declares that she's leaving the island. The contestants are wacky. One scatter-brained woman couldn't stop giggling and was wondering why she couldn't hold on to any guys for very long. And then there are the joys of seeing a shapely butt, as that is the most you're going to see as there is no full frontal nudity. I'm sure some people think this show is stupid but there are dumber reality shows on TV viz., Big Brother and The Kardashians, which I refuse to watch. Even The Bachelor has less entertainment value, in my opinion. See? I can be a snob too!

If you are going to blur all the nudity, may as well call it Dating Blurred Naked! We can have blood, shooting, murder, stabbing, drugs... But show part of the human anatomy? No Way! Not sure why Americans, meaning USA, are so ashamed of the body, apart from another Religion who have their women covered up, they would have to be the most prudish on Earth!

Not there are no other US productions of movies which show a lot more or actual sexual positions, and those movies are distributed, but in this show it's mostly shown as "innocent" nudity. The kind of nudity young kids were used to before they were told the body is taboo, must be covered, sex is a sin...

I didn't really watched the whole 2 shows I bothered with, just zipped thru, but the producers may get a bigger audience, more voyeurs if they didn't blur it all. I personally not that keen on a lot of "reality" shows, they are really staged reality and usually pretty boring.

If I could give it a zero I would. Horribly offensive, stupid, and fake. Turned it right off it was so bad. If the tone was more like Naked and Afraid I might have watched. Lap dances? Gross. It's like a bachelor party gone bad. Isn't there enough junk on TV? It will be canceled, mark my words. The producers and/or production teams should be embarrassed to say the least. I would never want my reputation ruined in this way. They better have a better show coming down the pike or their reputation WILL be in jeopardy. Some production teams and or exec producers have redeemed themselves in the past but not sure this company can produce good quality TV. Time will tell. Don't give up yet though, do something in better taste and you might be successful yet. Good luck to one and all.

If we all could set aside our body shaming learned behavior (from young ages), and think objectively about human biology/anatomy would such an objective mind so remove the scales from our eyes that we could see the absurdity of a 'naked themed show' having to blur out its thematic element? While I agree with keeping tv adult topics & sexual behaviors away from youngsters, who convinced us that plain ole bare biology (minus sexuality) should be automatically sexual? DOES THIS SHOW GET INTO ADULT THEMES? YES. However, with the objective mind, I could see that even if this was just tarsan in the jungle nudity, or naturists on a beach, the bare bodies would still be blurred, as if seeing such, or human participation (even in a safe/loving environment) could corrupt, or endanger in and of/OR BY their own biological skin.

Puritan roots run deep among all English/nations (who came out of Puritan England). Violence was always a family event (such as burning accused witches), but a bare breast was an unspeakable evil. I PRAY many (through shows like this) may begin to see the same. We truly need a change of mindset, imo.

If the nudity wasn't blurred, I could give this show a 10. Any show that expands the narrow scope of tolerability concerning something so natural as bare biology deserves my support. Final insight (eye opener) I derived (through watching and 'after show' contemplation) was how hypocritical we are by body shaming;. I realized the face is the first/foremost sexual attractor, yet no laws force kiddos to wear Halloween masks on all their socials.
