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’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

Grotesque and desperate people seeking 15 minutes of fame

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

HannahLoisLuke Wed 23-Mar-22 12:38:46

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.

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.

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.

MissAdventure ???

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 .

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

The bits I've seen aren't little.

Alioop Wed 23-Mar-22 12:06:14

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

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?

MissAdventure Wed 23-Mar-22 11:58:31

I suppose in a way it's good to see all shapes and sizes (and lengths!) of things.
It does reassure that anything goes.
It came in tv last time my big grandson was here, and we both said it's hard not to look when it's on - a bit like scenes of surgery on TV.

katy1950 Wed 23-Mar-22 11:57:38

It's cheap lazy TV production

springishere Wed 23-Mar-22 11:55:07

Thanks all for the morning laugh! How do you knit with wet wool?

MerylStreep Wed 23-Mar-22 11:50:44

i turned it off after 20 minutes ?

Mine Wed 23-Mar-22 11:50:00

My son who is 37 said to me "have you seen this mum" and put this stupid programme on the TV....He says it's a great laugh watching people's reaction to naked bodies...How do you find someone attractive by there "BITS" was my reply and we both ended up LOL....

Growing0ldDisgracefully Wed 23-Mar-22 11:46:57

I hadn't heard of either of these so must live a sheltered life. The vagina knitting could put a whole new slant on community knit and natter groups! And what if you're allergic to wool and it makes you itch....

inishowen Wed 23-Mar-22 11:45:26

There is guy local to me who has filmed for Naked Attraction and his show is about to air. He's been publicising the show on the radio and seems very proud of himself. I always thought these people would be embarrassed about doing the show. Far from it, this guy can't wait for it to be shown.

icanhandthemback Wed 23-Mar-22 11:34:27

NA was never really a programme I enjoyed but if it came on, I didn't squeal and clutch my pearls. However, it was part of Gogglebox last week and quite frankly, the things I saw on there showed just how far it had descended with the men being asked to swing their bits. shock Really? There was absolutely nothing attractive whatsoever, it was positively hideous.
I don't know about anybody else but when I look for something attractive in a man, I look at the eyes and smile. By the time I feel ready for anything intimate, I am attracted to the personality and the body doesn't matter at all.
Please don't anybody tell my Mum about vaginal knitting. shock That area has become something she can't leave alone since the onset of dementia and dealing with wool amongst everything else, horrifies me! grin

Cossy Wed 23-Mar-22 11:34:16

I find it vaguely amusing and completely cringeworthy and a bit sad !

Sparklefizz Wed 23-Mar-22 11:32:28

I caught NA once and found it utterly depressing. I turned it off after 20 minutes.

The Miss World Contest was denigrated by Women's Lib back in the 70s as a cattle market, and now young women are happy to show their genitals and be "chosen" by a young man who mulls over the size of their vulvas.

It's very sad.

Bignanny2 Wed 23-Mar-22 11:21:58

I’ve never heard of or seen virgina knitting (thankfully) but I caught naked attraction once and was horrified that people thought that this was entertainment! And believe me I’m not a prude.

DiscoDancer1975 Wed 23-Mar-22 11:15:37

No...you’re not alone. Watched this for about 10 seconds, thinking it would be something else. Went straight off.

Jaxjacky Wed 23-Mar-22 10:09:48

I’ve only caught segments on Gogglebox and agree Kim19 it is sad, people must be desperate, I wonder if/how much they’re paid?

Shandy57 Wed 23-Mar-22 09:44:59

I watched Naked Attraction with my daughter a few times, I find it astounding that we now have a programme with naked people.

Unfortunately it has put me off the art deco wallpaper I'd hoped to have in my new bungalow smile
