Loathsome Love Island

IF YOU want to know what the legacy of a decade of internet porn looks like, tune into ItV2’s Love Island.

It’s all there, from the hairless bodies (both male and female), to the surgically enhanced lips and chests, to the way that sex is viewed as just another bodily function, less to do with human emotions than a perennial need to satisfy a hunger for physical gratification.

No wonder it pulls in two million viewers nightly. But it’s not clever or post-modern, as some critics claim. It’s just porn dressed up as light entertainment.
