We need new Renaissance
simbiat13 April 2023
So there is this new TV show, called "Naked Education". It got a lot of criticism, as some news articles say "fury" even. Checking the comments that people leave about the show, though... Well, they are exactly the reason, why I believe such show SHOULD exist. Or rather why it may be a good idea to have something like this as part of school education.

All of the negative comments focus on minors seeing naked adults in front of them. They forget, that the same minors has already seen porn (as was confirmed in 2nd episode, with one of the boys saying he saw it at 11, and let's be realistic, this is quite "mild" nowadays). But even if they had not, what's wrong with seeing someone naked? I mean, besides cases like peeping, which is arguably immoral.

The whole point of the show is to SHOW different bodies and normalize them. Help people (not only teens) understand that average people are not like the actors neither in porn, nor in regular movies. They are perfectly flawed, and that nakedness does not automatically mean anything sexual.

I think we need the new Renaissance, so that people will stop shaming each other's and their own bodies and start learning that there are no standards here. The more the young people will learn about different bodies - the less they will bully or get depressed because of not being perfect, and the more time they will spend on finding themselves.

Schools generally have art classes, right? Normalize drawing naked models for a couple of classes - that already will be a huge start. It will allow you to show different bodies and find beauty in them.

This is not to say that the show itself is perfect. Far from it. Personally, I do not like how they have 3 topics and jump around from one another. I would prefer having 20 minute episodes where they focus on 1 topic, but maybe go a bit deeper and where necessary talk a bit more seriously about stuff, and not as "always up-beat" as the show does it now.

But, gods, this is something that our society NEEDS, to work on reducing of mental stress caused by strive to unrealistic beauty standards, that have nothing in common with real life.

Slightly Flawed but Very Educational
JaydeeRichardson8 April 2023
'Naked Education' falls into some of the traps a lot of Channel 4 shows with nudity fall into, however, this series has a lot to teach us. It manages to illustrate the lack of understanding teenagers have of the human body, and why it's important for the education system and parents to teach children and teenagers about the human body. It shows us that most teenagers experience body image issues, seemingly because of the lack of understanding. I learned a lot about from it myself. So, for it's educational value, it's a must watch.

The backlash the show received for showing teenagers nude bodies is exactly why the show exists. To teach people that the human body isn't a thing to be ashamed of, and that each body is different, and that's okay.

The show also shows people with low body image pushing their limits to help achieve higher self-confidence, and to love their own body. Which could be beneficial for people going through similar things.

The segments where people with similar experiences share what they've been through is very eye-opening. To hear what people have been through, and about topics people tend not to talk about, is very fascinating, and hopefully has a positive impact on the viewers.

I do think it has it's flaws. The music is a bit emotionally manipulative (as is the case with many similar shows). I wasn't a massive fan of the host, Anna Richardson. She wasn't a bad host, but I think she was a bit too over-enthusiastic at times, pushing the show away from the serious tone it probably should've had. I also think it would've been better if they showed things the viewers could do if they were struggling with body image. Things they could do on their own, since we can't all go on a naked bike ride or do a bit of life modelling.

All in all, a good show, worth watching, and anyone giving it a 1 star review clearly hasn't seen it. Give it a chance, you'll definitely learn something valuable.
