I was recently introduced to a British dating show in which all contestants are fully nude, hence the name “Naked Attraction.” The stated objective of the show is that dating has become so convoluted, what with flattering and misleading online photos and profiles and, I suppose, clothing. The show claims to aim to cut out the nonsense of meeting while fully clothed and get straight to assessing genitals. No part of the show is censored, fully revealing every “knob” and “fanny.”

When I first heard of this program from an acquaintance, I was immediately intrigued, in fact, desperate for access. So many beseeching questions bombarded my mind. Completely nude? On regular access tv? Does it ever turn porn-like? What are the qualifications to appear? Are people often fired from their jobs following appearances?

Luckily, a British friend helped me to gain access almost immediately. All of the plans I had for impeccable productivity over the spring holidays were promptly ditched in favor of watching nude British people describe their preferences for pubic hair maintenance several hours daily.
