C4 dating show Naked Attraction sparks 45 complaints to Ofcom after showing five penises and two vaginas… per minute

VIEWERS have torn a strip off Channel 4 dating show Naked Attraction after it showed an average of five penises and two vaginas every minute.

The series opener sparked 45 complaints to watchdog Ofcom.

In 48 minutes, not including commercials, the show flashed a total of 282 shots of male genitalia and 96 female.

Twitter user Ste Johnston wrote: “We have reached a new low!

“It’s car crash tv! No amounts of t**s and a**e can save it!”

Lynnette Leighton agreed: “Oh my god. TV at an all time low.”

Dean Maskell tweeted: “What has our world of tv programmes come to? Don’t get me wrong I’m male & love to see boobs & bums but honestly.”

And Paul Bassett Davies added: “Can’t decide whether to watch #NakedAttraction or drink a bottle of vodka, go to church in my pyjamas, and beg God to forgive us.”

Last night Sam Burnett, of TV watchdog Mediawatch UK, said: “Never before have programme makers shown such blatant contempt for basic standards, with record levels of explicit nudity serving no particular purpose. It’s not even like the programme was any good to compensate.”

Monday’s 10pm show, which pulled in an average of 1.3million viewers, was hosted by Anna Richardson, the former presenter of Supersize vs Superskinny.

Six contestants stood naked in acrylic boxes with their faces hidden, leaving the fully clothed dater to choose a match. Faces are shown later and the hopeful peels off too.

Channel 4 claim the show is based on the work of “evolutionary psychologist and sexual scientists” who claim nude dating is the key to a successful relationship.

There were 175 shots of penises as the first dater, music producer Ania, started her search before her privates were shown 11 times in quick succession.

The second dater, bisexual masseuse Mal, had three men and three women to choose from. Her search triggered 100 shots of men’s intimate parts of 82 of women’s.

A spokeswoman for Channel 4 insisted: “This is a light-hearted and appropriately scheduled series which aims to demystify the rules of sexual attraction for the Tinder generation.”
