Teen Wolf star Dylan O’Brien clearly has plenty of gay fans out there who weren’t upset when they learned his new film would include a steamy sex scene.
Until they watched it, that is.
In Hulu’s Not Okay, O’Brien plays an incredibly unlikable influencer named Colin who has a relationship with Danni (Zoey Deutch), a woman seeking internet fame at any cost.
During the scene in question, Colin and Danni hook up in the bathroom at a party. Things quickly go from steamy to all-out cringey as Colin engages in some red-flag-level dirty talk.
How about we take this to the next level?

“You’re so tight,” he says. “Who’s my damaged little girl? Are you damaged? Don’t worry, I will protect you. I ain’t gon’ let anything bad happen to you now. You’re so fucking helpless.”
Viewers have been losing it over the scene. Some are thoroughly grossed out, others turned on, and then there are the people who are confused at being grossed out and turned on.
It’s all led to some rather spirited discussion.
Here’s what folks are saying:

if you find the dylan o'brien sex scene hot… 1. you missed the entire fucking point of the movie and I have bad news for you about your critical thinking skills, and 2. I do not trust you because why was that hot to you ? were you not listening to what the character was saying

Listen. I know the sex scene in Not Okay is supposed to be cringey but you give me fuckboy Dylan O'Brien with blonde hair and what he is saying and I'm not okay, okay?????

For his part, O’Brien told Entertainment Tonight that shooting the scene was the only time he “ever felt uncomfortable during filming.”
Not Okay is currently available to stream on Hulu, or here’s some Dylan content that’s less likely to make you cringe:

I used to not even think he was sexy. Oh boy. Was I wrong. He’s so f-ing hot. Not a typical hunk w/ perfect body. Just hot and sexy and I think all of us would love to have him as our friend.

This is a pretty slight reason to just reshow the actors cute pictures…

I liked him more as half of the Sterek. This kind of crap just helps perpetuate violence against women, I don’t care how cute he is.
