There are a couple of television programmes that feature
naked people getting to know each other and going on dates and so on. Now, you
might think that they will be full of sexual encounters, groping and unwanted
ogling, but you might be in for a surprise. The show is surprisingly
successful, growing in popularity with every episode aired – but not for the
reasons you might think.
First of all, no nudity is explicitly shown on the screen.
You can see that the contestants are naked, but boobs, cocks and asses are all
pixelated to a modest blur – much like Japanese porn which has rules about what
can and cannot be explicitly shown in porn films. So any illicit thrill that
you might be thinking would come along with watching the show is instantly nullified.
Secondly, for the contestants, the nudity is something that
they very quickly get accustomed to. One of the ladies who featured on the show
said that from her first interview, when she had to get naked via a Skype call,
the way she felt about the nudity was surprisingly relaxed. She knew that she
would be getting naked from before she applied, so it was always a known
feature. After she had made it through the interview process, she was put into
the show – where she was even more relaxed because everyone taking part was
naked, and it very quickly just became normal, not something that they even
thought about as they progressed with the dating part of the show.
Several contestants have mentioned that being naked made
them more honest. They were more likely to reveal truths to their prospect partner
while naked than they thought they would reveal to a prospect partner while
fully dressed and still in that early, getting to know you stage of the
relationship. Aside from this unexpected honesty, all the contestants agree
that once the first awkward few minutes are over, you very quickly forget that
you are naked at all, and simply get on with whatever it is that you want to be
getting one with.
