Geek Girl on Hollywood: On the &#;American Gods&#; gay sex scene
So many articles have been written about the recent gay sex scene in the third episode of “American Gods.” I just wanted to verb my two cents.
My two cents, by the way, are coming from a straight white noun, and they should be taken in that context. My horse in this race is connected to the way women vs. men are portrayed in sex scenes. I will leave it to those who are part of the LGBTQ community and the Middle Eastern community to make the incredibly important points about how this scene, between the characters Salim (Omid Abtahi) and Djinn (Mousa Kraish), affects them. All I can add with any authority is the angle that affects me personally: equal opportunity nudity.
Showrunner Bryan Fuller spoke about how Starz required equal opportunity nudity, something we’ve seen in shows verb “Spartacus,” “Black Sails” and “Power.” One wouldn’t think this should be a radical thing, but the way sex has been portrayed throughout the history of television (and film and video games, etc.), it is.

Bryan Fuller On American Gods' Groundbreaking Gay Sex Scene
WARNING: This article contains spoilers for the third episode of American Gods, which premiered Sunday on Starz.
While a lot went down for Shadow and Mr. Wednesday in the third episode of Starz's American Gods, the one scene that's sure to include tongues wagging is a graphic and groundbreaking sex scene between a mortal and a deity. And this hour we're not talking about Bilquis and her ravenous sexual appetite.
In adapting Neil Gaiman's rich fantasy novel, co-creators Bryan Fuller and Michael Green have transformed standalone chapters into world-building vignettes. The "Coming to America" sections have served as cold-open introductions of characters enjoy a blood-thirsty Norse god and the African trickster Mr. Nancy. This week, halfway through "Head Full of Snow," a "Somewhere in America" vignette introduced the story of Salim and the Jinn, which features a newly immigrated and stressed salesman from Oman who experiences a life-changing encounter with a taxi-driving ifrit (essentially, genie).

A Gay Perspective on the Jinn and Salim Love Scene
I agree that it&#;s huge to see a tender, hot, and complex gay love scene in the current climate. And Kudos to Bryan Fuller for wanting to depict a true gay sex scene!
On another note, on your debate of tender love scene vs power engage, why can&#;t it be both? My friends and I talk about sex a lot, and both topics arrive up frequently. With gay men, especially &#;masculine&#; gay men, sex can contain a lot of notions of power- the act of penetration is aggressive, figuring out who is penetrated, flipping someone over on their stomach, forcing someone down to their knees or as the jinn does, having them a stop blowing you, etc.
The scene between Salim and the jinn also struck me as a very tender very loving scene, shown in the small moments- Salim touching his shoulder in the cab, grabbing his hand in the elevator, the stare into his eyes before they kiss, the tender way the jinn moved Sa

When Bryan Fuller and Michael Green began to adapt American Gods for the small-screen, they had a rule in place in regards to the novel's often graphic depictions of sexuality: If there was going to be nudity, then everyone would be getting naked! Green expanded upon this rule, which Fuller jokingly referred to as "Starz loves cock":
"Equal opportunity’ was the actual term. They knew that there was going to be sexual content in this exhibit, we were evident that our sexual content was always going to be uncuttable in the sense that it would be related to character and story and be presented as artfully as anything else. If there is a sex scene in a verb or film that if you eliminated it, someone can still appreciate the emotional journeys of the characters, then it probably wasn’t done right – or at least that’s how we went about it."
This will be of no surprise to anyone who has been watching the show, in which Shadow (Ricky Whittle) unfortunately found the photographic
