Abstract

“Naked Attraction” is a controversial TV show that debuted in 2016 in the UK. In subsequent years, the programme has seen several national versions, including a Finnish version that stands out from the other instalments of the show. The objective of the text was to delineate “Naked Attraction Suomi”, which was accomplished utilizing the quantitative and qualitative content analysis conducted previously. The text attempts to answer the question whether the show should be considered an example of media sexualization or sex education through the media.
