Naked Attraction guests have been caught using a popular method to make their penises look bigger on camera.
It seems some male contestants on Channel 4's nude dating show, which now airs in the US, aren't too happy with the way their manhood looks. So they've resorted to tucking in their tummies to make their todger appear more impressive during their bid to find love on camera.
And it seems their attempts to look larger haven't gone unnoticed, because show boss Darrell Olsen knows about it. Asked if the blokes on the show try anything to increase the size of their penis, he confirmed there was a popular trick they use.

However, the executive producer admitted it's hard to know what penis-related antics they're getting up to in their shiny pods before they're revealed by the screen, which hides them from view. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "When the screens are down before we start, it’s hard to know what they’re doing. A few of them pull in their stomach."
Addressing criticism of the show, Olsen insisted that having contestants judge eachother based on how their genitals look doesn't undermine its aim to be body-positive and empowering. He said: "I disagree. What it proves is that every person is different, and not just facially. We’ve all got different genitals. We’ve all got different big toes. It’s amazing. So there’s no reason to feel bad about yourself, and it’s empowering to see we’re all different."

The boss continued: "But also, we don’t play into the stereotypes. You might have a male with rather large genitalia and the Picker might say, 'I don’t really like that, it’s not my thing.' Or someone might say, “I like smaller boobs.” The irony of the show is, by having a load of people naked, it makes you feel better about yourself. "
He proceeded to explain that Naked Attraction, unlike rival dating show Love Island, doesn't encourage people to feel bad about the way they look. "Love Island is a fantastic show," he said, "but the cast looks amazing and then viewers feel a little bit bad about the way they look. We’re the complete opposite."
