The guy on the left looks almost like Brad Pitt, and the guy on the right looks almost like Shia Labeouf. Oh I have to see this now.

I thought it was this phrase: "Characters indulge in tasteful sex." It's official, folks, gay sex is now tasteful.

The guy on the left is Brad Rowe and he was in "Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss" with Sean Hayes…and yes he does look like Brad Pitt.

The tasteful sex scene is something out of a lifetime movie, lots of gentle above the waste touching. The movie is nothing amazing.

From the NYT article:

"Everything changes when Zach finds himself drawn to Shaun (Brad Rowe), a confident writer and eager enabler of all of Zach’s passions. As the two hit the surf and Shaun’s mattress with equal enthusiasm, the movie’s abundance of tanned bodies, rolling waves and golden sunsets create an aesthetic of inoffensive hedonism that perfectly matches the subject matter."

I mean is the word gay even necessary with something like hitting his mattress with equal enthusiasm?

BUT IT DOES SAY "CONFUSED YOUNG ARTIST" … mabey im over analizing. i do love how it says "As the two hit the surf and Shaun’s mattress with equal enthusiasm"

all and all its i think ballanced.

@Rickroberts

Shelter is not available on Netflix. That is actually a 2001 documentary about a one legged straight surfer. I almost added 2 my Q b/f I read the description. lol

I actually watched a gay movie that had rich characters and an interesting theme no clear sex to speak of; well done and it made gay people interesting.
It's not hard to see why straight people and gay people think that queers are shallow; when all they want to do is jerk off.
