Are you brave enough to stand completely naked in front of a stranger?
Naked Attraction Adverts on Buses to be Removed
This news article made me laugh out loud. It is not exactly a surprise that the advert drew complaints, but some of the complaints are not what I expected.
Before we continue, I just want to explain where I’m coming from. The advert is humour. Humour isn’t always well-targeted, BUT it is supposed to be fun. It’s not an attack. No matter what joke you make, there is always a chance that someone will take offence or get upset, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have humour. The advert has no pictures, no rude words, zero sexual connotations and is supposed to attract attention by making people smile. It’s a piece of cheeky fun.
“The advert was described as “tone deaf” by many, with others saying it put passengers at risk of sexual assault.”
That is just naive. In what way is that an invitation to crime? If there are people out there likely to commit sexual assault, they are criminals and dangerous, regardless of a funny advert. Don’t blame the advert, blame the criminals.
“There were also concerns children could be in the indicated seats.”
Admittedly unfortunate, but they might (or not) like the show, and that’s funny too. Don’t pretend that kids don’t watch stuff they shouldn’t be watching! WHO is going to think the advert inadvertently pointing to kids is an actual comment?
“Writer Tracy King raised the issue on Twitter, saying: “What the hell is this creepy bus ad? You can’t just label non-consenting passengers like that. Does @Channel4 not know how many sexual assaults take place on buses?””
This is simply mad. No sane person will think that random passengers are being selected for attack by the advert. Why is an opinion on nudity being directly linked to sexual assaults? It’s the whole nudity = sex thing all over again! Being “labelled” by the advert is embarrassing at worst. I admit I don’t know the crime statistics for this advertising campaign but I suspect that no sexual assaults at all were caused by or influenced in any way whatsoever by this campaign.
f your friends were all naked would you get naked too?
More of a challenge to be the ONLY one naked?
Your vote could leave someone naked!
A
fter the success of the first two Vote-Off events, we just had to get a third event running. Now everyone can vote on which of these four brave volunteers must take off an item of clothing in each round. First participant completely naked and exposed is the winner!
How humiliating must it be, knowing that you could be the next person to lose an item of clothing and there’s nothing you can do about it!
Brave enough to let people vote off your clothes?
The NakedExperiment.com community is running another “Vote Off Their Clothes Challenge”. It’s a fun competition that entertains community members, attracts new members to the community and is a bit of daring fun for those who are brave enough to let everyone vote their clothes off.
The idea is simple: Between 4 and 6 brave volunteers are posted in a gallery and everyone gets 24 hours to vote for whoever they want to lose an item of clothing. At the end of 24 hours, the participant with the most votes loses an item of clothing and the next round begins. Everyone who didn’t lose the previous round, keeps their votes, the winner’s votes are reset to zero. Then the voting begins again!
The challenge isn’t over until at least one participant is stripped COMPLETELY naked!
If you are daring enough to risk losing all your clothes in our community site, further instructions are available here.
Naked Experiment #3
It’s taken way too long to get here but the detailed written account of the third Naked Experiment session is finally out on Amazon.
Five members of a women’s amateur netball team, aged between 36 and 45 needed help preparing for a naked fund-raising calendar. The rest of the team were happy to take part in the calendar shoot, but these five lacked the body confidence and wanted help overcoming their shyness.
Follow their progress as they tackle ten challenges that lead them gradually from shyness to nudity. This written description includes introducing the participants, the challenges, interviews afterwards and conclusions drawn from the results. 80+ pages of transcripts and descriptions, with location diagrams but no photos.

Naked Experiment #2 – Full Report at last!!
It’s taken way too long to get here, but the full report on Naked Experiment session #2 is finally complete and available on Amazon UK and Amazon US.
We got six people together, three women and three men, with ages ranging from 22 to 52, to try out a range of situations involving casual nudity. These included:
- Someone is chosen randomly to be the first one naked, and the group watching them take off all of their clothes.
- A person is allowed to strip any one person naked.
- Participants vote on who should be naked, then watch that person undress.
- Everyone is given the option to get naked together.
- A presentation where the presenter is presenting their own naked body.
- An outdoor fully-naked challenge for one participant.
- …And more!
There are also short interviews with the participants after the session and each participant had the opportunity to pose for a souvenir photo where they are completely naked and the rest of the group is fully clothed (photos NOT shown in the report for privacy reasons).
The report is available as a Kindle publication. Don’t worry, you don’t need a Kindle to read it. The free Kindle app is available on PC, Mac, Web, Android, Windows Phone and iOS, so almost every portable device is covered.
UK Porn blocker law dropped, at last!
The legislation, originally planned to come into force in April 2018, but repeatedly altered, delayed and rubbished by technology experts and privacy campaigners. There were so many holes in the planned implementation, easy ways to avoid the block and serious concerns over privacy, it was just a poorly thought-out mess.
Another problem that got less coverage in the press was the lack of a definition for “porn”. It seemed that any nudity or mature content was at risk of falling foul of the legislation.
Thankfully, common sense won the day.
