Instead they had a few coy changes of scene and then Mickey fucked a girl on camera(?). The characters were two young men living together, for fucks sake. In season four it could have been a coincidence.īut after season five there's really no excuse. In the first two seasons Cameron Monaghan was underage so I guess it was understandable. The only explicit scene Ian and Mickey ever had was the one where Mickey's father caught them and it ended with a much more explicit corrective hetero rape. In that case the camera ALWAYS looks away.
Where they draw the line is when it comes to gay sex, ie a man doing sexual things to another man while in a state of undress. To be fair, they did show Mickey's backside in that scene where he was playing the guitar alone in his room and Debbie came looking for Ian's drugs.
