For a show called "Naked and Afraid," the contestants on the program actually spend very little time talking about what it's like to be naked in a harsh environment.

Usually the contestants acknowledge their lack of clothes early on and then it's pretty much never addressed again even though everyone is watching is clearly doing so to see naked people in survival situations.

To answer some of those unasked questions, Discovery Channel released a video where some participants shared their thoughts on being naked with a stranger on TV.

"Every guy's thing whether he admits it or not is size insecurity. It's a little in the shade and a little chilly," said the first man in the video. "So, you can get a little shrinkage."

The video above includes a montage of male participants talking about the cold weather and making excuses for what the temperature has done to the size of their manhood.

"He was a little more bashful about it then I was," said one female contestant about her male partner, who for some reason referred to his penis as "Elroy," while pointing out the "he's a grower, not a shower."
