This was a drama shown on Channel 4 on Sunday night.
It was about the lives, and loves, of different gay people. One storyline was about a 14 year old boy who was sexually attracted to his 29 year old next door neighbour. These two characters eventually ended up having sex with the younger character seducing the older one.
I was surprised by the graphic depiction of the sex and also because one of the characters was "under age". I wonder what the reaction would be if this same storyline involved hetrosexual intercourse?

You're probably right Wazz. I like to think we've all move on from the Victorian era!

I thought it was very good. It did show that there was latent homophobia amongst those who go 'cottaging'. The scene I referred to earlier whilst being explicit was done with a great deal of sensitivity.
