Anyone watch it?
Or been on it?
MTB mechanic maybe?

I was once guided on some kind of shamanic style experience by a one legged man who I later discovered had appeared on (and won) an episode of Naked Attraction.

I remember that episode, and I only watch about once a year

Yeah bike MTB service man was on yonks ago and I seem to remember it was mentioned on here back then. I don’t think he was on here (or never fessed up), but was ‘known’.

Which is odd cos I’ve only ever watched it once 🤣

Naked Attraction really does represent the absolute worse type of television. I am no Mary Whitehouse and I do not think TV has a role a moral guardians but seriously, how do you even begin to explain that programme to kids.

“Er, yeah kids, it is a dating programme where people hope to find a relationship, but the sole decision making factor is whether or not they like the look of the persons shaved genitals.”

“Er, yeah kids, it is a dating programme where people hope to find a relationship, but the sole decision making factor is whether or not they like the look of the persons shaved genitals.”

Your gonna shit a brick when you find out what’s on the Internet!

You’d have to be on the rebound or something to want to go on there, eh?

Only ever seen it on gogglebox. Bizarre.

“Er, yeah kids, it is a dating programme where people hope to find a relationship, but the sole decision making factor is whether or not they like the look of the persons shaved genitals.”

I think it’s a great show, largely because it shows that that is not an effective way to choose a partner. They kick someone off then have a chat as they walk past and realise, they seemed like quite a nice person. Then the date with the person they do chose goes terribly half the time.

Plus it’s interesting to see what other people look for in partners.

The whole programme is just a concept I cannot get my head around. How was it pitched? And the programme people went, “Yeah! We’ll run with that.. there’ll be loads of people willing to show their bits in 1080p close up on telly. This could run and run!”
Just no. Don’t these people have parents? Family? Oh Brendan I didn’t know you had a tiny helmet! Why did you get that bit pierced? Why? Oh why? I just don’t understand anything anymore

Desperate humans do desperate things shocker.
Dumbing down and switching off,trash TV is the answer to the pain.
A real version of Squid game is just around the corner.
Now finish your Soylent Green and STFU.
😜🤣

but seriously, how do you even begin to explain that programme to kids.

Its on at 10pm (or maybe later?) so explaining to young kids is not really an issue. For older teenagers – I think they’ll see how shallow it is, but probably more diversity (of body types and “interests”) there than you get on Love Island or other such bollox which because people are just about clothed is less controversial.

there than you get on Love Island or other such bollox which because people are just about clothed is less controversial.

100% this all shapes & sizes, theyve had guys with stomas, amputees, in wheelchairs, MS, OAPs, a panopoly of sexualities in a way that most of the rest of TV does its best to exclude or ignore

@chapaking

Indeed.

Lots of kids have hang ups that their dicks are wonky or their labia look weird. NA actually does a good job of showing that such variations are actually quite normal.

But yes, its utter garbage and i agree with fasthaggis.

It’s like everyone’s forgotten about the Hopefuls on The Word

Bring back topless darts!

but the sole decision making factor is whether or not they like the look of the persons shaved genitals.

If they were all shaved I’d choose none of them. It is disturbing that people wish to look pre-pubescent and that other people find it attractive. Just no.

I once went on a Tinder date with a girl that had been on Naked Attraction. I’d never seen the programme (still haven’t)

She was fairly mental.

You’ve got my vote.

It’s like everyone’s forgotten about the Hopefuls on The Word

I have not forgotten, its just it was timed to be one when I got back in from the pub following the latest under age drinking session, so its all bit hazy. However, the girl rubbing her finger around the inside of a sweaty fat blokes belly button then licking the sweat is laser etched into my memory like some sort of retch trigger.

So you think the contestants on NA look pre-pubescent?

So you think the contestants on NA look pre-pubescent?

Their genitals give the appearance of that, yes. It’s just too damn weird – trimming and tidying is fine, but shaving the whole lot off is not normal – IMO of course but I have never liked it one bit.

The list of professions where appearing on that show would be career ending must be as long as…..well some of the exhibits on display!

Not checked my Ts&Cs but I suspect (teaching) it might constitute gross misconduct and dismissal – not that I plan on finding out!

But yes, NA and that one about weird ailments are two programmes I can’t get my head around wanting to be on even if you were mega needy for attention.

. It is disturbing that people wish to look pre-pubescent and that other people find it attractive

Uh huh, bringing a world of your own preconceptions about why other people trim/shave/ or do whatever to their pubes there. I’m willing to bet money a vanishingly small number do it “to look prepubescent”

Most of the vagina’s on there, definitely don’t look pre-pubescent

It just looks a lot nicer to most folk, don’t try and tar it with being something perverted

It does remind me of that old saying ‘you don’t look at the mantlepiece when you’re poking the fire’, guess that was the basis for this programme ;o)

Seriously though, it sounds no worse than stuff like Take Me Out or the rest, it’s basically a show around a load of extroverts being extroverts, it would be a different thing if it was forcing introverts to do the same, but again, sounds pretty harmless and gives folk their 15 minutes.

At least this show doesn’t appear to be chucking a whole load of influencers into the public eye like essex, chelsea, etc!

Bring back topless darts!

Wouldn’t that make them really hard to throw?

Naked Attraction is, of course, voyeuristic trash at it’s finest. But as Kimbers said, it is also highly inclusive. Fat, thin, white, brown, straight, gay, prosthetic limbs, shitting into a bag, doesn’t matter.

They had a trans woman on there (at least) one time. That episode should be mandatory viewing for anyone who trots out the “not a real woman” schtick, I defy anyone to tell she was trans if they didn’t already know.

I think it’s a great show, largely because it shows that that is not an effective way to choose a partner. They kick someone off then have a chat as they walk past and realise, they seemed like quite a nice person. Then the date with the person they do chose goes terribly half the time.

Also, this. It’s probably a lot more than half the time. It’s a great lesson in how choosing partners solely on looks is often a really bad idea. It’s not unusual* for one of the dates to simply not turn up for the post-date couch recap, they got on that badly.

That was not my intention – I just don’t get the need to shave pubic hair off. Apologies if anyone thought there was something nefarious in what I was saying.

A neighbours lad was watching it on catch up one night. On a huge TV. Without pulling the curtains

🤣

Sounds like a bit of an exhibitionist.

Sign him up.

I remember watching it once and they most stunning girl was on it. A Scottish brunette burlesque dancer … she got to the last two and didn’t get picked. Madness. I still think of her from time to time.

Last time I saw it there were pensioners on it, not bothered since.

Probably had his hands full pulling something else…

I just don’t get the need to shave pubic hair off.

It stops it catching in your teeth.

Could potentially be more hygienic? I shaved my pits in desperation one day whilst on holiday in Florida and sweating like a small nun at a penguin shoot. I’ve carried on doing it since, they’re a lot less prone to end-of-the-day whiff.

But really it’s just fashion innit, grandad.

Bring back Cheggers and the Jungle.

errr, no, don’t actually.

Could potentially be more hygienic?

Probably less, to be fair. If having pubic hair caused a greater likelihood of infection etc, evolution would have got rid of it.

Unless, of course, you’re confusing “control of potentially harmful bacteria” hygiene with “looking/smelling ‘nice’ (insert modern definition of ‘nice’ here)” hygiene.

I remember reading an article about the womens’ GB cycling team pre-London 2012c and issues they were having with saddles, undercarriage comfort, infections etc. It ended up with them basically being told to let it all go full 70’s hedge-porn, as essentially, protecting your undercarriage is what it’s there for.

I just don’t get the need to shave pubic hair off.

😀

Doesn’t smell of peedrips?

Doesn’t stick out of the bikini like an undercarriage-moustache?

Makes your bits look larger?

Your O/H doesn’t have to literally fight through the bush to get to the relevant parts?

You cut, trim, shave, gel other hair on your body – why only in certain areas?

Not an exhaustive list, just a few thoughts..

You’d have to be on the rebound or something to want to go on there, eh?

Did he get picked or was he showing too much sag?

On that show there’s no avoiding bottom out

Even if he was supportive in the midstroke etc etc

Probably less, to be fair. If having pubic hair caused a greater likelihood of infection etc, evolution would have got rid of it.

Using that line of thought would suggest that there are a lot of things that ‘evolution would have got rid of’. Like death. That’s not how evolution works, as I’m sure you know.

But, if evolution worked the way I wanted it to, I’d not produce massive amounts of snot just by going out in the cold (serious WTF?), have two extra arms, still be able to use opposable thumbs on my feet like my simian relatives, and not have testicles in a place where they can be sat on. Seriously, evolution have a word with yourself – why would testicle squashing debilitate every human male for no evolutionary advantage at all?
