Naked and Afraid, Naked Dating, you know there’s probably a Naked Obstacle Course show coming soon.
But legitimate question, has someone ever gotten one?

In Naked and Afraid they have episodes where they go into such different happenings on the show that doesn’t make the cut. Yes boners did come up that they came up, particularly when the couple was spoon sleeping. Depending on the couple it was either just the way it works, no big deal, to reversing who’s big spoon. I think they admitted to one romantic encounter, but I may be misremembering.

I suppose they could sue the guy, but I doubt it would stand up in court.

He could wait for a settlement, but would probably get stiffed.

I assume someone would be receptive to the idea.

I never watched _Naked and Afraid_. Being on the Discovery Channel, I presumed it was about newborn babies.
Ignorance fought!

I gotta say, on _Naked Slap Fight!_ (RealitySux Network, $8.99/mo), it’s a good strategy.

Oh come on, I guarantee every single one of those guys has gotten a boner before. It would be nigh impossible to go 20-40 years and never gotten a high hard one.

I remember an interview with one guy, who said, “After the first couple of days, my junk was covered in ticks. It was never an issue.”

You’ll suddenly start seeing the pixels extend and move upwards

Shot in 4K to ensure that there are enough pixels.

Presumably before spooning, the guy uttered the classic line:
“When we do this, something is either going to happen, or it’s not. Either way, I apologise.”

You can always tell the new guys on these shows because they stick out like a sore thumb.

I think that was said on the show. And it was called Naked and Afraid, Popup Edition.

During breaks in the show they carry two pots of coffee and a dozen donuts to the crew.
