Starz's has the Hottest TV Gay Sex Scene in History

It is on the new show American Gods

Hot! Is it in the first episode? Any footage uploaded anywhere? These guys are beautiful.

Mousa Kraish is pretty average looking

He looks good in other pictures, as well as OP's still. When's the show premiere?

Omid was a hot twink now he looks like the nice married guy who works down the hall.

Too swarthy

Is young Casey Affleck having sex with older Casey Affleck?

The scene is reported to be very explicit and long

The Sleeper gym sex scene was one of the hottest male-male sex scenes in history, tv or movies

"Sleeper"? Movie? Series? Date?

Sleeper Cell

Here's the Sleeper Cell sex scene. Abtahi has a nice ass.

Is there a link to the clip in the OP?

False.

Pornos have the hottest gay sex scenes in history.

Why would you turn to television for sex? Wrong department.

Spartacus had pretty hot sex scenes between Agron and Nasir as well. Good on Starz for delivering the high quality man-sex that HBO is deficient in. Even Showtime with Shameless is doing better than HBO in terms of gay sex.

Wait, wasn't sleeper cell on Showtime about 10 years ago?

[quote]Omid was a hot twink now he looks like the nice married guy who works down the hall.

[quote]Too swarthy

They're both far more attractive than the pasty AWGs DLers go on about.

R14, not everyone is into porn. A lot of us consider porn too crude or crass to be turned on by it. Suggestion and subtlety can be hotter to MAny of us.

Omid Abtahi and Michael Rady acted together on "Sleeper Cell" in 05-06 and are the men in OP's post. OP even said that "[t]he pic herein is from an earlier Abtahi Sex scene on Sleeper Cell."

Mousa Kraish, the actor with whom Omid apparently has a sex scene on the currently-airing "American Gods" appears at R3 and nowhere else in the thread.

So OP is claiming the sleeper cell scene what he is claiming is the hottest gay sex scene?( The link at r12 didn't work for me btw).

There was a gay sex scene in the 3rd or 4th episode of Mr. Robot that was the hottest and most explicit I'd ever seen on Regular Television. Anybody recall the scene I'm talking about?

I don't know how it compares to this one.

Please link

This scene from "Looking" always surprised me. Quite hot. Jonathan Groff's face is right there in his ass. Only copy I found found was shitty quality.

To play the clip @ r12 you have to "allow" Flash.

Here is a copy of the "Mr Robot" scene I found. It surprised me when it aired as USA network is a basic cable, not a premium cable network.

I know the show runner said he had to fight to keep that scene in there.

What's with all the cross-eyed actors? Is there some kind of hiring preference for it?

R18- You sound like you're a woman. Even the most obnoxious prisspot males get off on porn. It's how we're wired.

What about that scene from Oz when Chris Meloni broke Brian Bloom's neck while Brian was sucking him off.

R27, speak for yourself, man

If only costar Ricky Whittle were in such a scene

Whittle is smokin

Wasn't Ricky part of the male fappening?

Ahem!!

R33, I wasnt attracted to the people on that show

They will be using prosthetics for male nude scenes

You had a pretty wide range of types to choose from on "that show" R34. It wasn't all just G. Harold and R. Harrison. Or C. Hunnam and A. Gillen.

But to each his own.

At least fraus will not fetishize your Arabs.

The big sex scene is in episode three

Charlie H is hot and my type, but not in the version I was talking about. Moreover, I like hot masculine men of color. There was not much on QAF for me

Matt Battaglia was the closest thing to what I find attractive on QAF

Ew. Those two uglies are making it in the shower on TV and I can STILL smell it.

I'm confused R38-- perhaps you mean Hunnam circa 2017? Because Hunnam circa QAF was the twinkiest looking white boy of the bunch.

While he was young and boyish back then, so was I. He looked like the dude on the school basketball or lacrosse team. Even on qaf, he seemed masculine and athletic

The older scene referenced in OP's post.

Sizzling

That Sleeper Cell scene was hot. That Omid Abtahi is quite the looker. Nice back. He reminds me of Alexander Siddig, whom I've always found attractive.

Omid has cakes!

Just felt like we needed some gif action here:

What dat?

....

Did Tyrant feature any hot male-male sex scenes?

So it happens tonight?

Already happened if you have the Starz app.

The scene is hot. I know he won't be for everyone, but Mousa Kraish's real-man body is so unbelievable sexy to me.

I wanna see it bro! Any links to it!

There was also honesty about apprehension. "I was really nervous watching this scene with my wife," said Abtahi, adding, "I was like, God, I hope it’s not raunchy. I just hope it’s not two guys going [three grunts]." He was relieved it wasn't. "It was just so fucking beautiful. I’m so proud to be a part of it. It felt like a huge weight off my shoulders."

[quote]I wanna see it bro! Any links to it!

I'm sure it'll be on Tumblr soon.

The CGI dong on the jinn is ENORMOUS.

Oh no. CGI

It looks pretty good, actually.

Damn thing goes halfway to his knees.

Still it's fake

Anatomy of a dude-on-dude sex scene.

BEVERLY HILLS — “I remember when they sent me the script describing somebody being filled by an ejaculation of flames,’” Neil Gaiman recalled late Wednesday night during a panel for the Starz series American Gods. “I’m going, ‘This is beautifully written in the script. Obviously they won't actually do this ... Only a madman would write this.’”

The British author was referring to a scene from the upcoming episode “Head Full of Snow.” In what might be one of the most explicit gay sex scenes ever shown on television, Salim (Omid Abtahi), a Muslim man from Oman, and the Jinn (Mousa Kraish), a fiery-eyed genie disguised as a taxi driver, make love in a New York hotel room. It begins with full-frontal male nudity, and then the men are shown thrusting in and out of each other, first on a bed and then in a faraway desert — and yes, there is an “ejaculation of flames.”

Showrunners Michael Green and Bryan Fuller took extreme care with this strange yet tender moment, as they adapted Gaiman’s seemingly unadaptable 2001 novel American Gods, which is about feuding deities who live among men.

“We wanted to make sure that it was undeniably beautiful for even those who were uncomfortable with same-sex romance,” said Fuller during the moderated Q&A, which, in addition to Gaiman, also included Kraish and Abtahi. Each took turns talking to a crowd of fans and newcomers to the series after an advance screening of the episode hosted by GLAAD.

Salim and the Jinn’s narrative is not a coming-out story, Fuller said. “As a gay man looking at gay entertainment, there are a lot of coming-out stories, and we didn’t need for it to be a coming-out story; we just needed it to be a connection between these two men.”

That’s why Fuller and Green decided to take some creative liberties with the characters’ storyline: For example, they rewrote a blow job in the book as a penetrative sex scene on the show. They wanted the scene, furthermore, to portray a moment of intimacy rather than a meaningless one-night stand — a vision Fuller inspired in Green. “That was something that Bryan brought that helped me understand what the goal was going to be, and why it was going to be worth doing something that, on a production level, was very hard,” Green said. From there, he “approached it as a straight man just thinking, This is a beautiful romantic story between two people who find each other ... I saw it as a story of a god giving a man permission to be himself and to enjoy sex and to be made love to.”

Although Salim and the Jinn’s sex scene is noteworthy for its graphic nature, it’s also a rare depiction of Muslim characters — who typically aren’t afforded any displays of intimacy on television, let alone same-sex romance, or even narratives that portray them simply as human beings.

“Sex scene aside, just seeing two Middle Eastern men represented in that way — with humor and love and joy...It's taken me 11 years to get to that,” Kraish, who has been acting since the early 2000s, said of his first-ever sex scene. “I want to see more of that.”

He and Abtahi had known each other for 10 years before working together on American Gods; their comfort level with each other helped them establish Salim and the Jinn’s chemistry during what was otherwise a very technical, unsexy shoot.

Something tells me this will be much ado about nothing much.

The scenes in Sleeper Cell were hot. This sounds like it'll be a lot of CGI and special effects.

It's not, really. There's some CGI, and like I mentioned over in the other show thread, a gorgeous shot of the jinn's eyes reflected in Salim's, but the point is not the millisecond of CGI dong and flaming cum.

I've had a crush on Rady since SWINGTOWN.

Omid is sizzling hot

Excited to watch it.

Surely it's online free somewhere

It'll probably be everywhere by tonight/tomorrow.

Please tell us what you're seeing....

I do not grant wishes.

anyone watching?

I just love how he had to mention that he watched the scene with his wife. Mess.

[quote]Mousa Kraish's real-man body is so unbelievable sexy to me.

Me, too! I wish he had to stand around longer naked. So sexy.

Not bad. But Spartacus had better and more explicit man sex than this.

The internet sucks lately. There was a time that you could find any nude celeb picture or hot sex scene fast and easy. Now they seem to have an army of people who do nothing than issue take down orders for anything that someone complains about.

I found it online on a site and then projected it onto my Roku tv.

The scene is very good. It is not nearly as explicit as advertised. Mechanically, it is standard premium channel simulated sex. The only exception is that while being penetrated, they CGI in a large erect penis for Omid.

The scene is very sensual, beautiful. It is masterfully directed and executed. The men have strong chemistry and make slow, rhythmic love to each other. Their bodies are beautiful, not just sexual, and are a work of art intertwined before the camera.

It is perhaps the most beautiful male love scene in tv history. Although the characters are supposed to be having sex as virtual strangers, they make love, not merely have sex. There is that scene where the Gin's firey eyes are extinguished as he embraces and kisses Omid that is breathtaking. They are spiritually connected, not just physically. Their bodies are beautiful and they merge them in a way that is more artistic than pornographic. You are more likely to tear up during this scene than have an erection.

“We felt like for Salim, as a man coming from a country that throws you off the top of buildings if you’re gay, a blow job in an alley is probably his only sexual experience,” Fuller said. “We felt like the djinn, in this romantic gesture, wanted to give him a more intimate sexual experience. We wanted it to be incredibly visual and gorgeous. We wanted those things not to be lurid, but to be beautiful and captivating and for heterosexuals to watch the love scene between these two men and not go ‘Ew,’ but go, ‘That’s gorgeous.’”

Nevertheless, even though Fuller and Green wanted to eschew luridness, they still wanted to be frank about how men have sex — something rarely depicted on television screens. Fuller wanted to challenge hetero viewers. He remembered seeing relatively tame same-sex love in movies like The Color Purple and Prelude to a Kiss and seeing straights in the audience cringe, and he wanted to get in people’s faces, to a certain extent.

You may tear up, but you also be aroused. The scene is extremely erotic and the actors look very hot having sex together. It is very hot to see two masculine Middle Eastern men together

I watched it last night. Greatest gay sex scene I've seen on TV!

Nope, it was lame.

The actors were not good looking and they had no chemistry together. Also the directing was way off. It was clearly directed by a straight guy who doesn't know how gay sex works.

The scene is getting near universal strong acclaim

The smoking hot scene in question introduces us to a jinn, a figure of Arabic/Islamic lore, said to have been created from fire. The jinn is the origin for the term genie, the anglicized term which, through the years, has castrated and cartoonized the idea of the jinn, no longer a creature of fire but a wish-granting servant and occasional Robin Williams character. In American Gods, we see the jinn appear as a cab driver, who picks up Salim, a young salesman from Oman who is finding America to be particularly inhospitable. The jinn picks him up, wearing sunglasses at night and looking better in a sweater than just about anyone has ever looked. At one intersection, Salim touches the driver’s shoulder to prod him awake and catches a glimpse of his eyes: It’s important to note that appreciation for the sex scene that follows isn’t valueless for its prurience. Gay sex is still a massive taboo in America, and it has rarely if ever been shown in terms this, frankly, hot. Straight sex gets to be sexy in this culture; gay sex gets to be shocking or demeaning or funny or scandalous. American Gods indulges in this particular sex scene for two reasons: to illustrate the tactile way that the old gods can still inspire devotion among those who can remember them, and for the purely sensual moment it creates on screen.

A landmark tv moment.

It’s not even been 24 hours and already people are applauding the gay sex scene in the latest episode of American Gods. By now you’ll be familiar with the massive freak-out about Bilquis’ sex scene in the first episode, but the show runners are definitely not done with the bedroom shenanigans.

The TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s fantasy tale of the war between the old and new gods is getting a ton of praise on Twitter. That’s not just because of the distinct amount of skin on display, though - its depiction of tender, loving sex between a businessman from Oman and a Djinn (a supernatural entity famous for granting wishes) has hauled in a ton of rainbow flags and clap emojis. That means people like it. A lot. But it wasn’t always as yass-worthy - upon reading the first draft of the scene, the showrunner Brian Fuller bluntly said that unless the scene’s top (who’s a flame-eyed Djinn, by the way) “has a 12-inch, candy-cane cock and can fuck around corners, his dick’s not getting in him. So you guys need to go back and figure out where holes are”. Dang. Fuller’s blunt requirements obviously hit the mark, as the good people of Twitter have demonstrated...

A beautiful sensual scene

Thanks to networks like HBO and Showtime, we’ve gotten used to seeing explicit sex scenes depicted almost weekly on television. We’ve grown more comfortable with the stereotypical approach to the scene; we know what’s going to happen. The sense of eroticism associated with the forbidden has all but disappeared. Sex has become normal on television and the shock factor that was once so heavily associated with it on series like Sex and the City isn’t there.

Outside of series like Queer as Folk and The L Word, which have been criticized for their over-the-top depiction of gay and lesbian relationships, genuine, on-screen and explicit relationships between people of the same sex have been rare. The question is how do showrunners tackle showcasing genuine stories about queer couples in a way that don’t feel like a group of people are being fetishized or exploited?

If you’re Bryan Fuller and trying to depict a memorable gay love scene in American Gods, the answer is relatively simple: Put yourself behind the camera, because you know what you’re talking about. The scene in question occurs during an interlude that introduces Salim (Omad Abtahi) to viewers. After having a rough day in New York City, Salim’s luck changes when a cab being driven by Ifrit (Mousa Kraish), who is one of the most powerful supernatural figures in Islamic mythology, picks him up.

Through their mutual ranting about New York City and the disregard people have for their culture, they wind up becoming closer than either thought would happen. Ifrit invites Salim back to his hotel room and, after some tentative hand holding in the elevator, the two engage in the most explicit gay sex scene television has yet seen.

Though it ends with a rather memorable moment, the encounter never feels excessive. The relationship between the two men doesn’t feel like it has been fetishized for a specific audience or commercialized as a way of selling a show to viewers. I didn’t choose to write about the scene because it was surreal or odd; I wrote about it because it was a lesson in how to showcase the romance between two men on television without having to worry about being censored for a more “mainstream” audience.

The scene in question lasts four minutes. Fuller doesn’t shy away from the material author Neil Gaiman provides in his book, but rather expands upon it. The only restrictions he faces are imposed by network executives; fully erect penises can be shown, but it can’t be pornographic. Fuller is making a statement about what sex between two men can look like on television in an era when we, as an audience, have already embraced heteronormative sex without question. The only thing Fuller suggests with the scene is asking why it’s taken so long to get to this point.

“We felt like the djinn, in this romantic gesture, wanted to give him a more intimate sexual experience,” Fuller told Vulture. “We wanted it to be incredibly visual and gorgeous.

“We wanted those things not to be lurid, but to be beautiful and captivating and for heterosexuals to watch the love scene between these two men and not go ‘Ew,’ but go, ‘That’s gorgeous.’”

Fuller, himself a gay man, added that he wanted to make people comfortable with seeing two men love each other — and that meant ensuring certain things were realistic.

This scene may be the most talked-about moment in American Gods for as long as the series is still on the air, and for good reason. But unlike scenes in Westworld or Game of Thrones, we shouldn’t fetishize the content. Instead, we should take its courageous stance, to demonstrate love between two men in the explicit manner that hundreds of heterosexual couples have received before it, and applaud Fuller and his co-showrunner, Michael Green, for doing an incredible job with it.

American Gods is a series that has a lot to say about queer relationships, racism, sexism and a plethora of other topics. It’s quickly becoming one of the most important shows on television and this scene will act as a constant reminder of why that is.

“I hope there are Middle Eastern young men masturbating to that scene.” - @BryanFuller

Oh my GOD. I love how you creeps analyze and dissect sex scenes. Like they're the greatest thing to EVER HAPPEN to the television medium. All lives--gay, straight, binary--will be affected forever because of the sensuality of THIS SCENE. Gays in foreign countries will no longer have to hide their sexuality from their parents or extremist religious groups because of the lovemaking--and not carnal desire--of THIS SCENE.

So tell me...after the scene was over, did you wipe down with a crusty towel, kleenex or sock?

More Arab men banging is a milestone to applaud

I didn't think Kraish would be hot enough, but dang, he sizzled in the scene! 🔥

Ratings?

CGI cock?

Is it still not online? Ugh, off I go to torrent the ep.

I found it on a site on Twitter linking the scene

Huh?

Just watched it. Thought it was beautiful! Not only are the men hot, but it's so well shot. I've wanted to see a man on man sex scene from Bryan Fuller and this definitely delivered. Loved the end when everything went all mystical. Beautiful stuff. I should probably watch the show.

Interesting how Omid's CGI cock was uncut.

It truly was done right. Not sleazy or raunchy, but poetically stunnnng and beautiful

Revolutionary scene 👊🏾

Link to CGI Genie dick?

I wanna make gifs, but I don't wanna spoil the scene for those who haven't watched it yet. Can someone find the scene and post it?

I missed them every erections though

As far as I know there was only one erection shown, and it was when everything went fantastical at the end. There may have been another on the bed, but I'll have to rewatch it.

And it was Omid with the big erection. On bottom

Mmmmmm

any link to the clip?

Too many gay men want to see porn on tv

R106 Just watch the whole damn thing in HD on gomovies.to

That is where people watch tv shows

Here's the scene in GIFs... found this in the American Gods thread.

The actual scene:

Thanks R111!

Sizzling

It has been renewed for a second season

Overrated scene with ugly men. I've seen more explicit gay scene on Looking. Pass!

Thanks for posting the scene, bro.

thanks for posting but I feel let down after all the hype

Dull.

An aesthetic masterpiece. Beautiful

Naw, Looking had white stereoyptical and effeminate gay characters who look like they stepped out of a gay ghetto. I am not attracted at all to that type of representation or character. Starz depicts masculine, manlymen who are non-stereotypical.

That's Hot.

Real men making love

What have they done to his eyes?

So they are recurring characters?

So beautiful at r111.

I usually hate CGI effects, but it's so well done here and illustrates perfect ply the semi-mythical principle of the sharing of Yang Qi/Musculine Energy when a top fucks a bottom.

If you're talking about their bodies when it flicks over to the desert, that's not CGI. They got coated in a mix of charcoal and baby oil.

Except the cocks, unfortunately.

R126: I meant the fire/flame shooting from the Djinn into the human. It also brings to mind tantric sex, and how sexual copulation is used to aid spiritual advancement.

Wow, so aesthetic

I love the new show. The sex scene was romantically hot, not porn. Artistic, whimsical and tasteful with 2 masculine, Middle Eastern men. As scorchingly hot as the Djin's eyes.

Nathan and Justin's sex scene from QAF was tenderly romantic as well. After Nathan plays his violin for Justin's birthday present, he then stroked him with a more intimate bow. American Gods promises to be one of my favorite T.V. shows ever. It's very faithful to the novel's version. Fuck HBO. Thank my lucky STARZ..

Yep, people Love the scene because the men are masculine and Middle eastern. Huge deal

And because it was not sLeazy of porny

[quote]As scorchingly hot as the Djin's eyes.

LOL NO. The two guys were ugly.

R132, they might not look like Cary Grant but ugly certainly isn't the word I'd use.

Many of us find them hot

Certain people on DL don't get that attraction is subjective. Regardless, both of these men are hot to me.

Very hot

Love middle eastern men

When is jinn coming back?

He is coming back, right?

Good question

[quote]Overrated scene with ugly men. I've seen more explicit gay scene on Looking. Pass!

Cool.

ANYWAY...Both guys are hot but Omid ALWAYS has dry lips in every role.

have the characters recurred since the scene?

R138 Yes, we'll see more of both this season.

R141 No, they haven't recurred yet and we're five episodes in out of eight as of right now.

R140 That's scar tissue, not dry lips.

Mmmmm

Hot!

Most of these "sex scenes" have the hallmarks of heterosexual violence and lack of intimacy.

Looking was a good gay representation and the freaky god representation was interesting in American Gods, but the rest is hetero projection.

YUCK

Whatever r145. Looking was for aging white effeminate gays with narrow appeal

I like both.

I think the scene is sizzling. I love both dudes. THey are hot and nonstereotypical. Very manly.

[quote][R140] That's scar tissue, not dry lips.

Really? Is it fairly recent because I don't remember it in Sleeper Cell?

It's a fantasy sex scene with esoteric themes. The part when they are in the desert and the bottom gets filled with firecum was really beautifully done. Both of the actors had nice chemistry with each other and it was explicit enough without feeling gimmicky.

I don't think is a landmark same sex scene, looking had two very intimate and romantic scenes [in season one] that outdo this one, but the fact that it depicts Muslim men engaging in homosexual sex shouldn't be ignored.

Hnnn

BUMP for more sex scenes

Michael Rady's ass was excellent in Sleeper Cell.

The front was delicious too.

When Does the second season begin?

Hmmm

Is there gonna be a second season?

r157 Yes, in 2019. Casting announcements in the thread below.

Good

.........

R160 Well, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

R160 Was that really the theme from Aladdin playing during that interlude? Oh, jeezus.
