I think that perhaps I'm out of touch or old fashioned ,but I find Naked Atractuon revolting and disgusting .

I've tried desensitising myself by watching it again, but I find it deeply offensive .

And then ,I found something which is even more distasteful Vagina Knitting .

It came out in 2013 and features an Australian artist ,who inserts a ball of wool into her vagina regardless of her time of the month and knits .

Am I alone in my reaction ?

Neither would be my cup of tea - but each to their own. Whatever floats your boat, as the saying goes.

Hi, Esmay

Naked Attraction really is something. I'm in a permanent state of amazement when I see women glancing at men's dangly bits and saying how wonderful they look.

I still have the immature brain of a 15 year old and laugh hysterically with a horrified look on my face at the same time. .

We're not regular viewers, ( promise we're not!) but sometimes it's just on. Amazes me these people have jobs, sometimes in retail or gyms and I wonder what their customers think.

I'm not offended by it, just some strange fascination I guess. I often wonder what my dear old Grandma would think. She'd get a touch of the vapours if a man was topless in a film.

Never heard of Vagina Knitting. I doubt I'll be looking for that one!

If anything was ever a misnomer it's the word "Attraction" because I have rarely seen less attractive bodies - and I did an awful lot of life drawing when I was at college and saw an awful lot of assorted naked bodies! The current fashion of all over waxing does the human body very few favours and the participants who are tattooed seem to pick ones that do very little to enhance their look. The whole concept is flawed anyway because physical appearance is such a small part of who you are. There are all sorts of things I would have changed about my husband's body if I was looking for perfection, but I had fallen for him long before I got to see him naked.

Are these programmes for real ? Must extend my viewing remit - or not blush

Elegran Tue 22-Mar-22 21:52:28

Why bother trying to desensitise yourself to it? Watching it isn't something obligatory that you have to sit in front of and suffer. Life is too short to choose to watch something you find distasteful, and something you find even more distasteful than that is even more of a waste of time. Leave the venue or switch it off, and go and do something else.

I ve never watched in on purpose but I have seen it on occasions and it doesn’t repulse me, actually makes me laugh and realise that my body parts are quite handsome. I can’t imagine in a million years why anyone would set them selves up on Tv either as a poser or a viewer they must be very extrovert and bold
I too not sure why you feel you must make yourself watch it
Never heard of the vagina knitting sounds uncomfortable

So when you’ve desensitised yourself to Naked Attraction what next, porn?

Redhead56 Tue 22-Mar-22 22:24:14

I have seen it because it's viewed on Gogglebox. It does not rock my boat but it obviously does for some viewers. If it didn't it wouldn't be aired.

MissAdventure Tue 22-Mar-22 22:29:31

It's revolting.
I usually quite enjoy programmes about sex, sexuality, and so on, but it's on another level.
I don't actively avoid it or watch it.

Zoejory, I know what one of my grannies would have said:
‘Smut and filth!’ ?

MissAdventure Tue 22-Mar-22 23:21:27

There used to be a programme called 'Ban this filth' which was hosted by 3 very respectable looking older women.
It was so, so, rude!
They would recommend that you avoided certain programmes on the basis of how filthy they were.
The point being that they would tell you all the lyrics bits and tell you all the swearwords.
It was fabulous!

*Zoejory*, I know what one of my grannies would have said:

Absolutely! They'd have got on famously smile

MerylStreep -
I watched it again to see if I were overeacting to it .

Thank you for your comment Pepper59.

If these programmes disgust you don’t watch them.

Chestnut Tue 22-Mar-22 23:59:15

I watched NA once out of curiosity and was appalled that anyone would go on TV like that. They seemed rather weird people, but I guess that's the type that would do it. It made me feel a bit nauseous so I would never watch it again. I think the whole idea of rating someone by their genitals is quite sickening. Joanna Lumley feels the same so I'm in good company!

Chewbacca Wed 23-Mar-22 00:25:35

Is it double knitting, 4 ply or Arran wool? And what do they do with it afterwards? Knit it into a willy warmer?

Chewbacca Wed 23-Mar-22 00:26:35

And why are we being plagued by so many threads about weird sex habits this week? confused

Kalu Wed 23-Mar-22 00:40:23

Unfortunately, I am allergic to wool so won’t be trying this at home!

Chewbacca Wed 23-Mar-22 00:50:35

Pity Kalu they're selling balls of 500gm Arran in Aldi for £4.99; think of the fun to be had with that! wink

Kalu Wed 23-Mar-22 01:16:19

500gm balls! Not without surgery.?

GagaJo Wed 23-Mar-22 07:02:32

Not a prude at all here. Happy to chat about sex with friends, not disgusted by sexuality in most of its forms and don't care if others want to watch Naked Attraction. But personally, I think it's pointless. I really can't see that any relationship begun based on him liking her boobs or her thinking his meat n 2 veg look good has any more than a passing chance of success.

It's just a novelty value programme or a bit of mild titillation, and I'm not titillated by it.

Kim19 Wed 23-Mar-22 07:09:14

Just makes me sad.
