Help make sure LGBTQ+ stories are being told...
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
NBs wakwoke they/them is almost dead thk god. Still love Sam but he’s gotta get his brain cells realigned.
Good to see Jake doing good in the world. Seems he’s always had a good heart.
The Hollywood Reporter article says that Naked Attraction UK is available in the US with Prime’s MAX add-on. I did a Search and lemme tell ya, they really make it hard to find. You have to type out the entire title before it shows up.
The article makes the show sound absolutely outrageous. Very curious to see what it’s all about.
You can find clips of Naked Attraction on Twitter/X. It’s hardly “outrageous.” They show men’s and women’s genitalia, and people get selected in part based on that. I think what’s freaking prudish American commentators out is that they show people of all races, lots of uncut men (since it’s Britain), women’s vulvas, trans people, piercings and tattoos, etc. And for the most part, the British act like adults, instead of hysterical children like some of the Americans hyperventilating over this show. It’s really absurd but not surprising.
Doggone it, Jake is shaving his legs! He and Tom Daley have the most beautiful hairy legs, but noooooo …….. for some reason they think smooth is sexier! Wrong!
JAKE’S as hairy as a BEAR so he obviously has done some serious lazer electrolysis.
Why do so many gay men simply don’t like the natural order and beauty of a man’s body,
everyone shaving everything above and below. We barely ever get to see some delicious
male pubes with this obsession to be totally smooth down below. I don’t mind it, but I also
like a fabulous hairy man, hairy in every nook and cranny. It can be so god damn hot and
exciting.

henare
You sound awful.
swhall
agree with Henare
Diplomat
Re awful: so does they them as singular. Complete disrespect for the english language.
dbmcvey
Drunk posting again, eh Dips?
abfab
Diplomat. Always in the process of losing it. Give them/it credit for carrying on.
abfab
Dip knows about heart.

Still sad no one went to your birthday party when you were just an annoying little brat?
Diplomat
You’re all Trump’s pet monkeys, promoting the destruction of the American family while he takes down Democracy. What a team. Birds of a feather etc
The latest replacement for the word woman was “child giver” so fake men can feel included in child birth. Get over it, you’re toast.
Your childish baseless rants are weak and sad while you wipe your psycho asses with the LGB flag. Your flagulating doesn’t stand up to hard facts.
Too bad you’re ruining it for Trans and NB kids with this over the top psychosis.

I have Max and Naked Attraction appears 5th in the top banner, not buried at all
dbmcvey
The UK version is pretty available all over the internet.

Swimmers shave their legs to lower water resistance.

Why is body hair not ok to cut, but head hair is?
Pietro D
JAKE’S as hairy as a BEAR so he obviously has done some serious lazer electrolysis.

abfab
I can tell you why Pietro. It’s because they don’t want to attract the likes of you.
mailliw110
Why do you complain about someone who you will never meet? So, you don’t cut or trim any hair on your body? Grizzly Adams comes to mind.
nm4047
didn’t see anything short about those shorts, pretty much average length of any shorts available today.
Dymension
Wait, those aren’t short shorts. I certainly remember short shorts where you could see someone’s hairline.
