According to CLARE FOGES, Channel 4's Naked Attraction is the scariest show on television

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 13, 2023
CLARE FOGES: A man appears entirely naked, with his genitals exposed. Several children as young as 14 are found in Mere Foot's direction, some of whom are clearly insecure. A crime scene? No, just the tone of Channel 4's latest show Naked Education. The programme, which premiered last week as a 'body positive' series, aims to debunk taboos around nudity by featuring a multitude of different bodies in the course. Thin and overweight, young and old, male and female, transgender, and "cis" gender are among human life's on display without a stitch or button for modesty. The presenters, Anna Richardson, Dr Alex George, and Yinka Bokinni all say they're on a quest to standardize all body types, promote our differences, and break down stereotypes.' They insist that the aim is to inform young people that not all bodies are Love Island-worthy; that saggy chests and flat bottoms and penises of non-pornographic measurements are perfectly normal. Shouldn't this raise a cheer from parents who are anxious about their teens being subjected to unrealistic images on social media? Hardly. The theory is entirely inaccurate, scary, and risky.
