Naked Education has aired a segment where four men took off their clothes in front of a group of teenagers as part of the conversation on what people actually look like.
The Channel 4 show is hosted by Naked Attraction presenter Anna Richardson, though the two shows are made by entirely different people, along with Yinka Bokkini and Love Island's Dr Alex George.
According to Richardson, the show is about promoting body positivity and educating people about what the human body actually looks like and the way bodies can look quite different while still being completely normal.

She said: "Naked Education is a body positive, educational series that is basically aiming to normalise all body types and champion everybody’s differences, so that we can accept that with our clothes off we’re all normal."
However, Naked Education is not without controversies as the series is pre-watershed and features full frontal nudity, including scenes where adults stand naked in front of teenagers.
There has been a backlash to the show from some viewers who think Naked Education is going a little bit too far in their bid to 'debunk some of the most common myths' about the human body.
Some questioned whether 'adults stripping naked in front of underaged kids' was the right thing to do, while others have defended the show as playing an important part in the conversation about body image and what's normal.

One of those who has spoken up for Naked Education is Liam Halewood, who has appeared on the show and said it had an important message for younger generations about what people actually look like.
The 36-year-old said that what was shown on the Channel 4 show was 'nothing that's not accessible for the youth of today in sex education in schools'.
He said people should not 'go around saying perverse' when they were talking about the show as he insisted it 'clearly isn't'.
On this week's show, a group of teens were discussing men's bodies and the topic of penis size, with the boys in the group admitting that when they talked about it there was 'boasting' and it was like 'a competition'.

When asked what they thought the average flaccid penis size was, they thought it would be about five inches long.
After this discussion, four male models then stood in front of the kids and disrobed.
16-year-old Lara said that she'd 'never seen a full naked man before' while 14-year-old Amelia looked away, saying it was 'a lot of naked men in real life to process'.

She said it was 'interesting to see how the same thing can look so different', while among the boys, Elliot said his approach was 'don't look at anything, just eye contact and look away'.
Dr Alex George explained that the average UK penis length was 'around three inches flaccid', telling the audience it was 'normal to have up to 11 erections a day and four at night'.
