Naked Attraction

A retired, divorced dentist is on the hunt for a man who is sexually adventurous, while a former US Marine, prone to falling in love too quickly, seeks his ideal Englishwoman. Both characters pursue their distinct romantic quests, hoping to find a lasting connection.

Leanne & Conor is a single episode of a programme that follows two very different characters as they pursue unconventional relationships. The piece is presented as a stand‑alone story within the larger series, offering a snapshot of each protagonist’s personal quest. The first storyline centres on a retired dentist who’s also divorced. After leaving his practice, he’s keen to find a man who’s open to sexual experimentation, hoping the partnership will bring a fresh sense of adventure to his post‑career life. In contrast, the second thread follows a former US marine. He’s someone who falls in love quickly and easily, and he’s set his sights on an ideal Englishwoman, dreaming that she’ll fulfil his longing for a perfect match across the pond. Both characters are driven by a desire to fill gaps left by their pasts—one by seeking novelty after a long, structured career, the other by yearning for a romantic connection that feels both familiar and new. Their searches are presented side by side, highlighting how disparate backgrounds can lead to similarly heartfelt pursuits. The episode weaves these parallel journeys together, showing how each person’s unique history shapes the kind of partner they hope to find, whether it’s a daring, experimental companion or the imagined English love of their dreams.
