The new Max platform has debuted in Spain by launching the program Naked Attraction, which has bothered some social media users. The service premiered this dating program in its catalog this Wednesday with completely naked men and women presented by Marta Flich. It is a British format that has been broadcast in a dozen countries for years. After the arrival of the Spanish adaptation, the ultra-Catholic group Institute of Social Policy (IPSE), with just over 4,000 followers on and 17 years old have access to this content on Max España.
The message with which the IPSE protests this situation and which has been echoed by the media has, 12 hours after its publication, with three “likes”. In addition, he publicly shares the same nude images from the program that he repudiates in his text. The comments that have really gone viral have been the ironic jokes, often at the expense of this type of complaints that the space has generated, and comments of astonishment that do not censor or ask for the cancellation of the program. Naked Attraction It has become the most viewed content in Max’s catalog.
Although the space is not accessible to minors if the age setting is activated, some social media users have begun to discredit, after the IPSE protest was promoted by the media, some of the expressions used by the presenter Marta Flich and her guests. The first participant, a woman who has to choose between several naked men, casually comments on her preferences regarding male bodies and her candidates. First, she explains that she likes men with tattoos. “What do you think about the size?” Flich asks regarding the genitals of one of the candidates. “I find it totally appetizing,” responds the guest. “How do you like them? Bigger, smaller, more manageable, fatter?” asks the presenter. “The size doesn’t matter, but the thickness does,” says the guest. Both continue commenting throughout the chapter about the shape of the penises and testicles of the six men who choose to go on a date with the guest. The program also echoes studies focused on sexuality and human biology. Throughout the process, the guest eliminates candidates until they are left with one, as happens in the rest of the dating shows. In this case, it occurs as the applicants show more parts of their body and with the guest himself also remaining naked.
In the second part of this first program, the selection process happens in reverse and it is a man who chooses among several naked women who will be his date. During the process, he talks to Flich and comments that the first thing that catches his attention about a female body is the legs. He also comments on the aspects that generate “a certain morbidity” in him, such as piercing on the clitoris of one of the candidates, because she believes that “what is different is beautiful.” He also shows preferences for tattoos in women and explains that he usually doesn’t like overly shaped bodies in the gym. “In general, how do you like vaginas?” asks Flich. “I like them all. A vagina is a vagina, but, yes, it doesn’t have hair,” he responds, who admits that the part he likes least about his own body is his legs. The program explains specific terms related to sexuality, such as one called odaxelagnia, which refers to getting excited by biting or being bitten.
Max allows ‘Naked Attraction’ to be blocked by those under 18
The age rating system for Warner Bros. Discovery’s on-demand content service does not correspond to any official body. It is a list that specifically establishes this platform. The fact that you mark the program with a 12 Naked Attractionlike other formats in its catalog in which the participants appear totally or partially naked, has given rise to misunderstandings.
Any Max user who worries about activating parental control in any of its forms will make these contents disappear from any underage viewer, as has been happening until now on all streaming platforms. streaming. Regardless of which symbol accompanies Naked Attraction Whether 12, 18, PG, NC or Z, any parent who activates the content filtering system will censor access to it for their children under 18 years of age. Furthermore, if the user so wishes, they cannot leave the family profile and change it to the adult profile without first writing a four-digit secret code.
When consulted by this newspaper, Max declines to evaluate the press release that the Social Policy Institute (IPSE) shared this Thursday, in which it demands “HBO-MAX” [plataforma que no existe] “to immediately withdraw the program” as it is considered “clearly sexualized” and that “it leaves women as mere objects of choice, thus violating the integrity of women and their dignity.” In reality, the structure of the show shows women selecting from several naked male candidates in the same proportion as the other way around. In its international editions, the dating show It also includes bisexual participants who select their date from cisgender candidates belonging to both sexes. Transsexual participants have also appeared in the British edition.
The IPSE is presented on your website as a “non-profit civic entity, which aims to denounce the transgression suffered by the family and defend the right to life, the unity of Spain and religious freedom.” This January, he asked the Council of Brotherhoods and Brotherhoods of Seville to remove the city’s Holy Week poster, considering that the Christ that appeared on it was “sexualized and effete.” It is an organization that, as published Newtral Earlier this year, he threatened in 2022 to sue the magazine Mongolia on one of its covers and later compared abortion to the Holocaust in one of its campaigns. Your president, Pablo Hertfelder, 27 years oldpromoted the use on social networks Of the label #AbortionIsHolocaust.
Just like explained InfoLibre In June 2021, the Social Policy Institute defends the cross in the Valley of the Fallen and declares “affinity” with the Blas de Lezo Leadership Institute, which is aimed at young people between 16 and 26 years old. If Max does not withdraw this program, the IPSE threatens to warn his “friends, supporters and partners to process his withdrawal from its platform, as well as to notify his contacts to do the same.”
Casey Bloys, president and CEO of content at HBO and Max, It already rejected removing from its catalog in 2023 the original version of Naked Attractionafter a similar controversy that occurred in the United States with the conservative organization Parents Television Council.
