First
of all, ew.
Have
you seen the advertisements for TV’s latest naked themed show? If not, watch here (warning: butts
everywhere).
As
the trailer depicts, the show’s singles defend abandoning clothes in their
pursuit for the right person because they at the point where they will “try
anything” and because dating in the real world sucks, apparently.
Um. Two things.
What the show gets right.
Yes,
there are elements about the show that get at our natural human desire to love
and be loved sans barriers, material
or otherwise. Removing clothes is being
equated with removing any superficial blockades to true intimacy.
I
get it. The hook-up generation is deeply
and understandably frustrated with their “relationships” never going anywhere
(imagine that). They are thirsting to
forge a genuine connection with someone that is more than skin deep, pun
intended. However, it’s questionable just how much zip lining across a jungle
canopy in the buff with a stranger achieves any sort of authentic intimacy.
What the show gets very, very wrong.
The
show is getting authenticity wrong. Our
true self is not just our disrobed self no matter how many participants claim to
have felt a deeper connection with someone due to being naked.
Sweetheart,
that’s called pheromones.
The
show gets the beauty and thrill of nudity wrong. Finally gettin’ nekked with someone, which
used to be exciting and reserved for married couples, now basically loses it
impact fifteen minutes into the show.
And that, my friends is just tragic.
Bottom
line, when nudity is basically reduced to a dress code then, as St. JP2 said about
pornography, the problem with a series like “Dating Naked” is not showing too
much but too little of the
person.
On
the show, it’s doubtful we will ever get to see the “real” people we are
watching (not that I’m watching the show) because we are too busy being
distracted by “too much” of them. And
it is distracting. It’s meant to be –
otherwise they would have chosen normal-sized people to be on TV.
Oh,
people will defend the dating naked idea. And I am sure the show will receive
great ratings and viewership…due to the deep conversations, right?
But
if this is the culture’s answer for how and unmarried person can forge a meaningful
relationship with the right person, then I’d be very disappointed if I was a
single right now...and I’d still be single.
I
mean who is actually ever going to date naked?
In real life, it doesn’t work.
You try getting to know someone or have a meaningful discussion about
politics, religion, the housing market whatever, without cracking a giggle at the
dingly dangly.
So
I stand by my principles that the “Dating Naked” shows too little .
But
also too much.
I
say again, ew.
