It’s no secret that sex is one of the biggest sellers in today’s world. Because of this, nudity has become an increasing trend in broadcast television (this includes blurred or pixelated nudity). Popular shows including Game of Thrones, Parks and Recreation, Modern Family, and Girls have all show shown nude or pixelated nude images. The Parents Television Council found that a majority of the shows displaying any kind of nudity are comedies.
Some networks have chosen to direct the trend a different way: nude reality shows. Discovery Channel premiered Naked and Afraid in June 2013, and other shows like SyFy’s Naked Vegas and TLC’s Buying Naked have also been aired. Now, VH1 has ordered a new reality dating show revolving around nakedness called Naked Dating. The series is meant to “explore the art of romance -- preconceived notions, stereotypes, and yes, clothing.” It’s produced by Lighthearted Entertainment, the same company responsible for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
The reality show follows a naked man and a naked woman as they each go on dates with a naked partner. At the end of the show, they’ll discuss their discoveries from the nakedness, and decide whether or not to pursue the partner. It's definitely a strange concept, and I'm not too sure it'll last. They’re literally ‘stripping’ away all dating pretenses (ha ha).
