clubber2000 Posted December 4 Report Share Posted December 4 Anyone here see "Queer as Folk" on Showtime last night? What did you think?I'm pretty open-minded and I thought the story was pretty good, but the sex scenes were a bit much. My girlfriend loved the show -- plus, I think she liked watching me get a bit uncomfortable during the sex scenes.Pretty interesting show -- I'd be interested ins eeing how much controversy it stirs up in some areas of the country.

back2basics Posted December 4 Report Share Posted December 4 Question: Is it an American version? This was shown in the a few years back and i was wondering if they re-made it or used the UK version?Put it this way the age of concent for gay couples has just been reduced to 16 in the UK so getting this stuff into the open helped.

mfiorellino Posted December 4 Report Share Posted December 4 I'll admit the show as far as story lines go was pretty good. I could do without some of the graphic sex scenes but hey whatever makes people happy. I thought the scene in the sports bar when the gay guy was trying to act straight around his co-workers was amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowgirl Posted December 4 Report Share Posted December 4 I caught a few moments of it between watching football with my hunnie. I caught the scene in the bathroom. Once my hunnie saw two guys going at in the stall he changed the channel, but it's ok. I was a little shocked at it tooI think str8 men will not watch it at all!!but i think the women will and men with open minds will------------------Hi!

mattsta Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 The age of gay sex in the UK has not been reduced to 16 it is still 18, the whole point of the show is that it is an illegal relationship.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msbobois Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 definitely watch the series. when i was in london this past summer, my best friend bought the tapes to the original uk version and he got me hooked. there's a really good plot to it all and characters get added as you go along. awesome show if it's like the uk version. they changed the names in the american version though!!! ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peache5030 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I think this show is GREAT!! the sex scenes dont bother me in anyway..society always shows girls going at it..so why not men???
