Naked Attraction
Naked Attraction is a British dating show that has drawn controversy over its explicit nudity. The series features an uncovered contestant who judges the six naked potential love interest in a glass tube. The panels are raised to reveal more and more of their bodies. After each round, a prospective date is eliminated according to the picker’s preference, until only two candidates are left and meet for their first naked encounter. The picker chooses a date, and producers follow up a few weeks after to see how it went.

They spend an average of six months at the club, but some stay longer. Some even acquire sugar daddies.
The movie Live Nude is a comedy about Shane, who abandons his Midwest roots for Los Angeles when his uncle dies and leaves him ownership of a strip club. Shane needs a lot of help to make the strip club financially viable. He recruits the strippers. The strippers all have very good looks, but they are not all that good at dancing. Some are also quite fat. The fat dancers are more entertaining than the skinny ones.
