Obviously, some were upset by HTGAWM 's inclusion of any gay sex scenes whatsoever, let alone such explicit ones. Of course, the couple patches things up by the end of the episode, with Mindy stating, "If you want to try something freaky, just run it by me first." Fair enough.īut while plenty of viewers commended both shows for their honest depictions, neither show's exploration of their characters' rear ends was wholly without controversy. Almost more scandalous than the sex scene itself was this follow-up line from Pax: "He did this thing to my a** that made my eyes water." Granted, this may not be exactly groundbreaking for anyone who has watched Queer As Folk or Spartacus, but the fact that it's airing at primetime on one of the Big Five networks is a pretty big deal (sadly). There was plenty of passionate kissing, flashing abs, and implied action happening south of the border. In HTGAWM, law student Connor Walsh (Jack Falahee) was seen engaged in a hot-and-heavy copy room hookup with a young office worker, Pax (guest star Niko Pepaj). They both certainly deserve praise for tackling such a taboo topic.
So which show handled the sensitive subject of butts better? Just one week earlier, writer/star Mindy Kaling caused a ruckus with her Season 3 episode "I Slipped," the plot of which centered around anal sex (although those two words were never actually spoken out loud).
