Naked Bodies on TV!

Is the "p" silent in you name, or can't you spell?

Just what I was thinking, travelsafar.

Couldn't resist adding my two-pennorth here, in support of OP annep.

Having said that, I would add that I don't usually comments on posts on the Gransnet forum (even though I quite enjoy reading posts in my GN emails) because I've noticed a bit of uncalled-for sniping and barely-disguised bullying towards some posters, whose posts are never challenging in the least. Not my cuppa at all.

Came across this for the first time only this week. Could not believe it. Those folk must be paid a fair amount to take part. Has anyone ever made a decision on who to go out with on a date by say meeting in a pub or restaurant and then telling them to take their clothes/trousers off before they will sit and chat or eat. It's yet another of societies demeaning perceptions of what is important.

I love a daft show. First Dates etc. But Naked Atrraction is full-on yuck. Whole point of flirting killed by genitals. Less is more guys.

Well grumppa there is art, health, drama.. all might be a legit reason for a person to be naked on TV but close ups of genitalia to see if it's the 'preferred one' is just crass.

i laugh.... and the word is PENIS

Willow 500 I think this program put the knobbly knees contests right in the shade :-)

I only saw about 3 mins of it because my sister and I sat down to watch something she'd recorded but she'd got the wrong night or channel and our jaws just dropped.

Sis said "Well I am NOT watching that trash" and I was so relieved as she had the TV control :-)

I didn't find genitalia particularly attractive even when I was madly in lust with someone so this programme certainly isn't titillating in anyway at all to me. I far prefer men with their clothes on. I've also decided I couldn't ever be bi-sexual as I think women's genitalia is even more revolting. I thought Blind Date was irritating but Naked Attraction is just blurgh!

What other purpose would be appropriate, PECS?

I stumbled across the programme while channel hopping the other evening, and all things consideted thought I stood up quite well in comparison.

I saw the programme once and couldn't believe my eyes! The last show apparently had a local boy/man on it. I don't know he can go shopping in Tesco, or to work, after everyone he knows seeing his bits.

I cannot imagine what goes on in the mind of any person whowants their sexual organs to be displayed on TV for the only purpose of possibly winning a shag!

I watched it a few times but then found it boring. I agree with Phoenix about using better terms than 'vagina', it is either labia or pudenda? and it was strange that they were all shaved in the programmes I watched. It amazed me that it was allowed on the tv in the first place!

I watch this with fascination and horror. Very few of the bodies haven't been 'modified' in some way which is in itself rather sad. There are two things which are obviously 'wrong' about it.
1, it encourages people to put the cart before the horse iyswim - instead of forming a relationship first and then going on to the next stage. I know that this is the point of the programme but it's still wrong-headed.
2, many of the men are just looking for a 'roll in the hay' (though they don't admit it) and then they move on.
I don't think anyone involved has actually found Mr or Miss Right and I don't think they're likely to.
Harmless 'entertainment'? Or are people actually getting hurt? It's a bit like 'car crash' television.

Gabriella Or not pants!

Don't watch it again

Seen the programme once, it's pants.
I wouldn't waste my time watching it. Seen one you've seen 'em all.

I find it weirdly compelling. They have all sorts of people on, all shapes and sizes and gender combinations. And I do think the facts they give on human sexuality etc in cartoon form are informative.
The trouble is, it very rarely seems to work out between the contestant and the one chosen. But I don't think many people here have watched to the end :-)

Ive seen a few minutes of it and switched over.
That presenter has been on other similar programmes but at least they did have some educational value. The one I'm thinking of was advising teenagers on STIs and contraception as far as I remember. The teens were remarkably ignorant although enjoying a frequent and varied sex life.
She ( the presenter) has built a career on programmes about sex. Got a vague memory that she might be medically qualified.

Thanks MissA.

Call a spade a spade, having been a nurse for fifty years, the medical terms come naturally, and as far as body exposure Ive seen it all!

Maybe I am in a minority but I have never found men's flaccid genitalia remotely attractive.

Might be different if they were not flaccid, but I won't go out of my way to see the programme to find out!

Haha! using the word penis reminds me of the time DD1, aged about 3 on the beach at Mudeford, found a pebble and held it aloft and said in the shrill voce of a pre-schooler 'It looks like a penis' and it did! A lot of sunglasses slid down noses!
Re the penis competition programme it is just low quality reality TV. I am not a fan of reality stuff like Big Brother etc. and this programme seems to be really scraping the sludge ant the bottom of the barrel! I am not a prude but if I am watching TV I want the programme makers to think I have some intelligence!

I have heard of this programme, and my buttocks clench just at the thought of it!

MissA and Phoenix, you cracked me up
