Members rgb23 Posted May 3, 2019 Members Share Posted May 3, 2019 What did people think about the scene in "Special" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_(TV_series)), episode 3, where the star hires an escort to take his virginity? I thought it was sweet. I watched with my daughter and wasn't embarrassed. Good new series on Netflix. I liked it.

Members rgb23 Posted May 4, 2019 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2019 Yes! The central character is a gay man who also has cerebral palsy. He hires a male escort. The scene is short, with no frontal nudity. But they are naked on a bed and the escort fucks him. The escort is a hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold type, who says he has other clients with cerebral palsy. Both actors are handsome and despite the subject matter it was appropriate for family viewing. It's a comedy. Only 8 short episodes. I think the sex scene is in number three. "There’s one of the most frank depictions of gay sex on TV in a good long while, and probably the first-ever TV sex scene between a disabled man (O’Connell, who has cerebral palsy) and a friendly, cheerful gay sex worker."

No it isn't, about five years ago I saw a short documentary on Dutch tv about a male escort visiting a disabled guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members adamdub Posted November 24, 2019 Members Share Posted November 24, 2019 I thought it was a very sweet scene and incredibly empathetic in depicting both the sex worker depiction and the main character who is losing his virginity. The episodes were also 15 minutes which I liked, but the creator has said that future seasons will be a more traditional 22 or 30 minute format.
