What is your reaction ?

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 ?

I am still trying to get my head around the concept of vagina knitting....does it involve turning the heel of the sock with three needles?

I only see little bits....when I'm watching Gogglebox. I think people look better with clothes on than showing their wares. How do they go to work on a Monday after that...blush

MissAdventure Wed 23-Mar-22 12:06:49

The bits I've seen aren't little.

Rileysnana Wed 23-Mar-22 12:13:32

I can't see how it even got made in the first place. Once you've been on its out there for everyone you know to see. How could you hold your head up without being embarrassed. Everyone is going to be talking about you or making fun of you .

Its like a big joke and I think those who appear on the show are ever so brave! Its just funny tv. Don't try and desensitise, just turn off. You don't have to like it.

I agree with the OP. There are so many channels on TV these days, I don't see why there can't be channels totally dedicated to weird programmes. There could be one for Naked Attraction type shows, one for weird dystopian drama types, etc. Keep them all away from the nice, happy, family type of shows. I also think News bulletins should be all on one channel too. You feel happy and relaxed watching shows and then scared out of your wits watching the news.

I’ve only seen clips of it on Gogglebox and find it juvenile in the extreme. The woman who presents it seems to be obsessed with the tacky side of sex, it’s all I’ve ever seen her do.

Is vaginal knitting better than Kegels for exercising your pelvic floor?

StoneofDestiny Wed 23-Mar-22 12:53:55

Grotesque and desperate people seeking 15 minutes of fame

Nannina Wed 23-Mar-22 13:02:20

I’ve only seen the programme once- not disgusted or offended just thought why would anyone choose a partner using that criteria. Likewise I’ve knitted for years and never found the need to use my nether regions to hold my wool

MissAdventure Wed 23-Mar-22 13:04:47

I always think about them going to work or into a shop the day after the programme.
shock
The thought would horrify me!

knspol Wed 23-Mar-22 13:17:59

I watched 2/3 times when it first came out and just wondered how on earth these people dare turn up to work the following day. Never watched it since, can find better things to do.

Mummer Wed 23-Mar-22 13:55:59

Utter revulsion and disgusting idea! It panders to the pervs who aren't able to relate on any other level .what fools they make of themselves.if they think they're being 'out there' or 'edgy' they're sadly mistaken.if they knew who their Audience were in reality I suspect they'd pack it in pronto!

Unfortunately, an extract of this awful programme was shown on gogglebox last week. It really looks to be a dreadful, vulgar programme, and I certainly won’t be tuning in. How people want to belittle themselves in this way is beyond me. There seem to be a lot of awful programmes that trivialise relationships on tv at the moment, sadly.

snowberryZ Wed 23-Mar-22 14:05:31

Im no prude. And have done nudist beaches in the past.
But there's a big difference between baring all on the beach and having giant close ups of your (usually plucked like a chicken) fanjo broadcast into the nations living rooms on 40" inch plus tv screens! Personally I can't think of anything more embarassing and demeaning.
What's going through these young girls minds?
Their fathers, grandfather's and uncles could be watching. Its all kinds of yuck.angry
I would be beyond mortified if my daughter were to do this.

I sometimes wonder whether the contestants have mental problems.

MissAdventure Wed 23-Mar-22 14:07:14

There have been some older contestants, too.

Mummer Wed 23-Mar-22 14:08:48

I've NEVER seen the reasons behind supposedly grown mature women with presumably lots of experience with several partners tittering like 12 year olds at words like 'cock' 'willy' 'tits' etc? Or are the giggles really inexperienced and don't know how to deal with sex ina matter of fact manner? Private are so named for a reason , that's why they're not called 'publics' !!! I wish Brits could get OVER it's obsession with sex as something to snigger about!! It's so very pathetically immature and and tiresome. I used to work with a load of women all ages all married and all obsessed with Chippendale's? Although their other halves were a bunch of ugly cavemen imo.maybe they crave a decent partner but know not how to get one so fantasise instead. Pathetically repulsive programs like these should be relegated to pay per view imo if not just to avoid kids seeing them and thinking it's acceptable behaviour? Maybe sexting is also a bit of a laugh eh? Why not have sexting on curriculum then kids can q," have a laugh" too?!?! ....beggars belief

MissAdventure Wed 23-Mar-22 14:11:04

75 year old Ian has been the oldest contestant, apparently, sporting lots of interesting piercings.

So you find it funny talking about 'big bits' ? Have you not ever had sex? Would you know the difference and why is it 'funny,' I doubt any man would be happy for your to start sniggering at his 'bits' as you put it , or don't you know that? ........are you a nun or 13 yr old?

MissAdventure Wed 23-Mar-22 14:13:20

It's on too late for kids to watch, I would think.
