You probably won't believe me, but I don't make a point of watching this, but last night for instance I switched off catch up and this was in it's place. I find it quite shocking and also question why the younger generation feel the need to remove all their pubic hair. They are not children and personally I don't like it....or the programme come to that.

I watched it once because a tenant of ours was on.
I was appalled.
Our daughter watched it with me, she was equally appalled.

Its a vile programme. I'm not a prude, I've lived a life but I do worry "what the world is coming to" that we need this rubbish to keep us entertained. It's toe curling rubbish.

I have seen this programme.
overthehill you may be interested to know that on a recent episode of Natural History Museum the 'bug expert' was showing hair lice and pubic lice, she said that pubic lice were in decline due to 'deforestation'

They showed a clip on Gogglebox, toe curling embarrassing. I will admit to being a prude, but really why would people demean themselves like this?

Glad it’s not just me! I also caught a bit of this by accident last night as did OH whose reponse was ‘What the........!**?’. It was a genuine shock. Nothing to do with being prudish but is this really what our world has come to? I have queried (on GN)this no-pubic hair business before ... not just incomprehensible but also worrying. Why do some women want to look like children? The links to paedophilia surely cannot be ignored.
How this programme is still on is beyond me, Thank God that one featuring people having sex in a large box has gone, hopefully for good.

It’s not just the younger generation overthehill I much prefer a clean look it’s down to what you prefer surely and it’s absolutely nothing to do with looking like a child it’s down to preference and that’s allowed Some people like flowing arm pits too I don’t but certainly not because I want to look childlike Same sort of thing
I don’t like the programme either horrid and the way they talk about the bits and pieces is really nasty

FarNorth Fri 29-Jan-21 14:45:05

I've not heard of the one about the box!?! I hope I never see it.

I did like the feeling of no hair, after I was shaved for childbirth.
I didn't keep up doing it, tho. I imagine it would be a real nuisance to do.

Esspee Fri 29-Jan-21 14:51:43

I’ve never seen it and only heard about it on Gransnet.

It must be very difficult being a parent today.

Kate54 Fri 29-Jan-21 14:58:59

Read all about it@,

There is quite a lot of expectation on women re shaving. Linked to porn in my view.

FarNorth Fri 29-Jan-21 15:06:49

Thanks kate but I'll resist the temptation.

Redhead56 Fri 29-Jan-21 15:17:51

Saw the clip on Gogglebox I think people will do anything for attention. Too busy worrying about the hairs on my chin never mind anywhere else.

The paradox is that there are so many paedophilia conspiracy theories around and yet there seems to be a fashion for sexually active adults to look like children.

The whole programme is fundamentally flawed because in a normal relationship you are attracted by so many things before you ever get to nudity. Intelligence and creativity have always been most important to me and if anyone had introduced me to a naked man when I was a teenager I would probably have been put off sex for life. The boys I met when I was young were far too excited at the thought of getting you undressed to care what any of your bits looked like.

Blossoming Fri 29-Jan-21 18:44:46

Deeda my thoughts exactly.

Daisymae Fri 29-Jan-21 18:49:27

I don't think that the programme is really about developing a long term relationship!

Septimia Fri 29-Jan-21 18:49:46

How on earth do you remove the hair from the more 'intricate' bits without doing yourself an injury? Or maybe I'm just abnormal.

Esspee Fri 29-Jan-21 19:03:02

Believe it or not Septima their are people who are employed to wax the bits you can’t get to. For men it is called Back sack and crack, women get a Brazilian.

Esspee Fri 29-Jan-21 22:12:09

Spelling fail there. ?

HannahLoisLuke Sun 31-Jan-21 12:49:32

I’ve caught bits if this programme. I think it’s seedy and sends out the wrong message. Are people really only interested in the sexual element of a partner.
The woman who presents it seems to only do that sort if programme. I’ve seen her before and immediately switch channels as I can guess what’s coming.
Isn’t she Sue Perkins’ partner?

beverly10 Sun 31-Jan-21 13:19:20

I often wonder if the choice, be it male or female, lives up to expectations. {grin}

Artaylar Sun 31-Jan-21 19:30:41

I might be in a minority of one in that while I'm not a major fan of the show, I dont really mind it.

One good thing about it, I think, is that it shows the human body in all of its different shapes and imperfections. A reality check really to the world of imstagram perfection.

I'm with some other posters though on not liking, what seems nowadays, to be the obligatory shaved look. Something definately creepy about that one.

FarNorth Sun 31-Jan-21 19:54:40

I've seen the presenter, Anna Richardson, on Super size Super skinny and other programmes not related to sex.

TrendyNannie6 Sun 31-Jan-21 20:13:01

Oh missfoodlove I did laugh! I watched it because a tenant of ours was on it, I bet you now see them in a different light??yes, I just think it’s degrading! And I’m far from a prude, why on earth would you want to show all and sundry your bits, obviously for the shock factor to a degree and the things they say is cringeworthy! Yes I do believe Anna Richardson is Sue Perkins partner

Rainwashed Sun 31-Jan-21 20:36:07

I don’t really see the point of it, as the few times I’ve seen it,they don’t go on to have a relationship, so don’t see each other naked again anyway!
