How to watch 'Naked Attraction' online: live stream the X-rated British dating show

Dating game show "Naked Attraction" airs new episodes for free on Channel 4 in the U.K. Having gathered a cult following, previous seasons are available in a host of territories across the world, including on Max in the U.S. 

Fancy sexing up your viewing tonight? Read on and we'll explain how to watch "Naked Attraction" from anywhere with a VPN, and where you can see it for FREE.

The premise of "Naked Attraction" is simple. Guided by host Anna Richardson, a singleton picks one of six potential partners to go on a date with. The catch? Each one of these prospects is standing totally and utterly naked in a tube, the front of which rises portion by portion from the ground up. To whittle things down to one match, the contestant scrutinises each possible date's naked form. Closely. Nothing is left to the viewer’s imagination, so it's not for the easily offended!

After each round, someone is eliminated from their tube. When there are two potential dates left the main contestant is also sent to strip. They then announce who the lucky person heading out on a (fully clothed) date with them is. Viewers get to see how that goes and hear about it from the couple's perspective. Sound odd? It is. But it's also ground-breaking – not to mention incredibly compelling.

There are two ways of looking at "Naked Attraction". Some consider it exploitive, verging on the pornographic. There has certainly been an outcry from some since it arrived in the U.S. Others see the show as educational, enlightening 'body positive' experience that covers a wide spectrum of potential relationships and body types. 

Want to make us your own mind? Below, you can find how you can watch "Naked Attraction" online, for free and from wherever you are.
