The lesson that Naked Attraction teaches us, the program in which you choose your appointment because of the appearance of their genitals

• It is a British television prime time dating program in which before knowing what your future rollete is called, his age, what he does or if he is not friendly, the contestants skip all that paraphernalia to go directly to the grain
• Despite initial criticism, after six seasons endorsed by more than 1.5 million viewers , they are still on the air
• In these cabins, in addition to torsos that seem sculpted by Michelangelo and perfect breasts, michelines, curves, cellulite and stretch marks also fit
• This is how sex is taught on Norwegian public television

Six penises I swear it was because of causality, but that was the exact number of virile members that I met last Thursday night while I was calmly zapping at home. They were small, large, of different thickness and color, circumcised, tattooed, with or without piercing.

All of them, yes, agreed on one thing: they had shaved for the occasion . I imagined that it would be to help the viewer not to get lost in details between the lushness of the area, although the abuse of the close-ups by the realization team was also very helpful when it came to being able to observe them accurately. And no, I wasn't consuming porn.

It was the first time I saw Naked Atraction, a British television prime time dating program in which before knowing what your future rollete is called, his age, what he does or if he is nice or not, the contestants are they jump all that paraphernalia to go straight to the point.

The country that prides itself on its BBC (considered the best television in the world), occasionally goes down to the mud and, between Planet Earth broadcasts of the great David Attenborough or the impeccable political analysis of Andrew Marr, his television grill sneaks in spaces like this on Channel 4, in which a contestant (male or female) has to choose his future date for the attraction that his naked body transmits; or what is the same, knowing your penis, your vagina, your butt and your chest before your face.

EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

During the program, the suitors, with their culete in the air, squeezing it well so that their dignity does not escape them, they remain unaffected, without saying a word, in six cabins of different colors. The presenter gives the order and the panels are raised leaving the body of the candidates exposed only from the waist down (later they will go up to the chest area and, finally, to the face). We must discard and it is best to be direct .

At this point, nobody is interested in knowing what kind of movies or music the other likes, if he reads Schopenhauer, is a student, sportsman or a promising entrepreneur (that will come later). It is time to analyze and comment on the appearance of all those penises or vaginas that monopolize the screen with its glorious close-ups.

Which one do you like the most? Why? Do you like them longer or wider? Do you prefer very shaved vaginas or do you like them with so much hair? Does piercing bother you when you have sex? These are all some of the issues that the presenter throws at the contestant who is there to choose a partner; although sometimes an item is also made to give an educational talk about sex, to comment on the tastes or preferences that the participant has in bed or to ask any of these bare butts to kindly mark a twerking or good hip ramming .

Everything, accompanied by a very explicit language. There is no censorship here. Accustomed to tele homeland, it is not that I was shocked, but I have to confess that when the space conductor, Anna Richardson, announced without flinching the rise of the panels with a: "Let's see those dicks, the truth that caught me offside. It was a moment of arched eyebrows and eyes open as dishes I thought: great, I stay until the end, this can only go better.

CONTROVED SPACE

And they will say, how the hell do they make an ass and boobs program interesting? Well, in the end, they won't believe it, but all those bodies tell stories and some of them catch you. Ya, I know, it's hard to understand. I understand. The point is that all the poison that they have to release on the format, it is necessary to know that the English spectators already spilled it before.

Because the story - let's see if it sounds like something - is the following: as soon as the first program was broadcast, back in 2016, Naked Attraction received an avalanche of complaints impossible to account for. The frontal nudes were fundamentally the reason for the great national offense. In its first episode, during the 47 minutes that the program lasted, 96 shots of the vagina and 282 of the penis appeared . In the second, because of gender equality, the thing was reversed: 363 planes of vaginas and 166 penises.

However liberal the British countrymen may be, that was, it must be recognized, a full-blown genital empacho. It goes without saying that Twitter burned: "I'm going to throw up, how disgusting , this denigrates relationships, I'm in shock, Channel 4 has definitely lost the north, what can be done by audience, etc ...

But the point is that after six seasons endorsed by more than 1.5 million viewers , there are still on the air. Why will it be? I decided to give it a try. I thought, if the films of Esteso and Pajares found a whole sociological background, I wonder why we are not going to be able to make sense of this whole mess. Some contestants who have passed through there confess that, unlike other dating spaces, in which people seek perfection and youth, this space transcends that seeming and false world to bring us closer to the naturalness of the authentic. And there is the key.

THE ROLE OF CLOTHING

Let's see, it's obvious that we all match in balls. Nude there is no social class that is worthless and without boldness we are more real. This it is! That is the moral of this program : by putting on our clothes we also put on a role, we cover ourselves to protect ourselves from the cold, heat and our true self; but without the Rolex, the branded clothes, the black glasses of pasta or the Palestinian handkerchief it is almost impossible to appear to have money, to be a bohemian, a progre or a conservative.

With the ass in the air one cannot go from what it is not, and if you think about it: can there be anything more honest? On the other hand, what do people find attractive in the naked body? This program has opened the debate; since, in these cabins, in addition to torsos that seem sculpted by Michelangelo and perfect breasts , there are also michelines, curves, cellulite, stretch marks , caesarean section scar, flabby asses and sagging tits. All of this can be equally beautiful, just as sexy. Proof of this is that, curiously, those who are more cannon are not always chosen.

SELF-ESTIMATE AND TRUST CHUTE

And what kind of person wants to go free (do not pay) to this program? Perhaps it will surprise to know that there are thousands who point to the casting, a test that is not easy, since there is a part that must be done naked.

The recording, in the studios of Manchester, can be extended for 12 hours, a time in which you remain at all times as your mother brought you to the world and in which, even to go to the service, you must be accompanied by two people of production to avoid meeting the rest of the participants.

But as in everything, it depends on the way we see things. There are parents who have stopped talking to their children for going to Naked Attraction and others who, concerned about the lack of self-esteem of their offspring, have been the ones who took the initiative to point them out.

Because yes, the great majority of the contestants who have passed through there have done so with the intention of learning to love each other ; as, for example, when a person who had just undergone the sex change operation opted to show it to the world during peak hours. Self-esteem and confidence are the most repeated motivations.

Of the six locked in the booths, in the end there are two suitors who join the contestant who has to choose, who at that time also undresses. The three look from top to bottom and comment on what they like best about their respective bodies. This triumvirate will leave a couple who, already dressed, will share an appointment in a restaurant.

It will be the moment in which they will begin to know each other. In the end, in a society trapped by filters, the idea of ​​this program is to start at the end, first removing the layers of clothing that cover the original material. But the truth is that, while some will find that after all this striptease there is a question of liberation and acceptance , many others will only see genitals.
