Exactly what you read - Skin-Baring Sells. This is true and it's a fact.
This is the reason reality TV is moving further in this direction. However, they never make it to the point where they show people performing the action.
They just engage in foreplay before cutting to the chase. Do you remember The Bachelor?

Some people just try to move on. However, the moments that were exposed remain online indefinitely. So which reality TV stars have been exposed for leaking private images?
