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 find it hilarious to people are apparently disgusted by it, but they have to keep going back to check.

So, am I missing anything good on tv these days then? It's been 3 years since I chucked mine out because of the dross on it; is this programme representative of what's on now?

Ha, ha! That was unintended Germanshepherdsmum!

Also, I think at least one young girl has been sweet-talked into bed but abandoned like the proverbial old glove next morning and been upset by it. Men, eh? They really don't need any encouragement do they?

Just found the definition of indecent exposure:
In the Sexual Offences Act 2003, indecent exposure is outlined as intentionally showing your genitals in a public place in order to cause alarm or distress. Indecent exposure is categorised as a crime of ‘specific intent’. This means that in cases where someone’s genitalia is exposed it must also be done with that intention. For example, the offence would not have been committed if someone were simply urinating in a public place and this had resulted in the “exposure” of genitalia unless that act itself was done to cause alarm or distress.

So walking around naked is okay so long as you never intended to cause alarm or distress. ?‍♀️

I agree it's car crash TV just like Jeremy Kyle and look what became of that. But it took a suicide before people started questioning whether it was a programme that should be made.

I'm actually astonished that NA was ever aired. Isn't there a law against exposing yourself in public?

honeyrose Wed 23-Mar-22 08:16:25

Yes - I am disgusted by it. I have watched NA a few times and I can’t really say why. I guess I just can’t believe what I’m seeing! Why anyone would want to parade themselves in this way is absolutely beyond me. Nothing is left to the imagination. I hate Anna Richardson’s rather base language too. As I say, I don’t know why I watched it - a kind of strange fascination I suppose. Nothing ever seems to come of the couple who get together. It’s pure titillation. I’ve never seen the vaginal knitting programme - sounds very odd!

I’m sure you did Esmay ?

‘The basic premise of the whole thing is cock-eyed’
Brilliant lovebeigecardigan!???

lovebeigecardigans1955 Wed 23-Mar-22 07:41:35

I think it's been likened to 'car crash tv' - you know you shouldn't really look but can't help it.

I can't help thinking that the basic premise of the whole thing is cock-eyed as surely the traditional finding out about each other slowly and the anticipation, courting or whatever you want to call it adds to the enjoyment and is ultimately 'sexier' for want of a better word.

Young people today are sadly encouraged to shorten or by-pass that stage which cheapens relationships - putting the cart before the horse. I sound like my Victorian grandma, don't I? And if I was young and daft I'd fall for it. Inevitably some of the men on this programme are simply looking for a quick roll in the hay, not a relationship.

All in all, a rather sad example of modern relationships, Blind Date it isn't.

Esmay Wed 23-Mar-22 07:38:24

Well expressed .

tickingbird Wed 23-Mar-22 07:27:27

I have no desire whatsoever to even view such rubbish. I’m not prudish by any means but I find programmes such as this indicative of the general dumbing down of much of the population.

Just makes me sad.

I’d just be bored

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

Just makes me sad.

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.

500gm balls! Not without surgery.?

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 00:40:23

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

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

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?

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!

Blossoming Tue 22-Mar-22 23:49:13

Esmay

If these programmes disgust you don’t watch them.

Esmay Tue 22-Mar-22 23:40:09

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

Thank you for your comment Pepper59.

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

Absolutely! They'd have got on famously smile

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!
