How Jonathan Groff’s role on HBO’s “Looking” taught some of his straight friends things about gay sex
During his two seasons on HBO’s tragically cancelled Looking, Jonathan Groff’s most appealing character of Patrick had plenty of sex.
And the person he had sex with the most as with his boss, Kevin (Russell Tovey), who finally became his boyfriend in season two.
Groff says what surprised some of his straight friends the most was not that Patrick and Kevin had a lot of sex but that they were able to have it face to face.
‘I had a lot of liberal artist friends that told me they didn’t know gay people could have sex facing each other until they saw our show,’ he says. ‘I think: “Wow! It’s interesting you didn’t know that gay men can look at each other in the eyes when they have sex.”
‘It’s an emotional thing that they didn’t believe to exist.’
Although HBO did not renew Looking for a third season, the show about a group of gay friends in San Francisco will get a sendoff in the form of a two-hour movie.

So what exactly did his friends say? That they didn’t know that different sexual positions were possible between two men allowing for face-to-face contact or that they didn’t know there was an emotional connection between two men during the sex act? The way it’s written it sounds like his friends are talking the physical aspect of the act and that Groff’s interpreting that they mean the emotional aspect of the act. Either way, none of my straight friends are that clueless about gay male sex.

Those are some dumb friends.
