[sasa-chan]

I told myself: Your To-Watch list has grown quite sizeable

I told myself: And the shows you need to actually finish watching has grown considerably lately

I told myself: It's just not feasible to start anymore shows

*2 minutes later*

I told myself: Another new show can't possibly hurt too much.

So I've now added ANOTHER new BL to my currently watching list. And I have 3 more on my I Really, Really, Really Want To Watch, But I Probably Shouldn't Right Now List. I NEED HELP!!! No matter how many I finish, the lists just keep on growing at an absurd rate!!

Hello 👋

All of your favorite horniest sex scenes?

Hello! I've been busy, so this has taken forever to get to!

I don't always need the guys to bounce around on each other and gyrate enthusiastically for it to out as horny. Oftentimes, I find myself more drawn in by the building desire between the characters, and the explicit acknowledgement of release. I like when the sex feels like it's also revealing something to us about the characters. I've highlighted many of these before, but it's fun to revisit.

Ghost Host, Ghost House Episode 4 Couch Scene

I will never get over this scene, and especially the director's cut of it. These guys knew they liked each other almost instantly, and it was so rewarding to see them reach a place where they could express that. Bonus points for discussing the logistics of gay sex.

This show has been on Gaga and YouTube for a while, but it's also now available on Viki!

La Pluie Episode 6 Floor Scene and Episode 7 Bed Scene

I liked this scene so much that I wrote about it. Again, there's a lot of anticipation between these two, and you can tell how far it's built up because Patts has to dial it back down when Saengtai wants to stop. It's especially important to me because Saengtai does blow Patts in the next episode. If you're on iQIYI, there's an extended cut of that at the end of the video lists.

Mood Indigo: The Post-Funeral Scene

These two are so horrible for each other, but damn are their sex scenes compelling. Theirs are the kinds of scenes only possible between two people you know can never work long term. I was so glad that we got back to Haruhiko in Playback, and the first thing he did was blow Rio in a car. If you haven't seen the Novelist, and you're itching for hornier BL, it's right there.

The End of the World With You "You're Soaked"

From the same team as The Novelsit, we got to experience baby's first fuckboy in this incredible show. Again, I love when we get scenes with couples who aren't ready to work, because they're allowed to have raunchier sex. They get to amp the intensity of the physicality because they need to give a reason why someone was so caught up and missed the warning signs. I actually love the car scene later as a more romantic intimacy scene, but we're focusing on horny here.

Jack o' Frost Birthday Sex

A common theme here with the Japanese offerings is that people are allowed to have more interesting sex scenes right before they split. This is true even in Jack o' Frost. We get a really great oner from the leads that precedes their breakup and Ritsu's accident. I think this might be my favorite of this list because the actors have to build the entire scene together since there aren't any cuts.

Gameboys 2 Bed Scene

Cairo and Gav are one of my favorite pandemic couples we got on screen, and I was quite relieved for them when they finally got to have this moment. We also confirmed they switch, and I love that.

Wedding Plan: Namnuea Showing Off His Stamina

No list for me would be complete without including them. I really loved seeing two gay men go at it after clearing out all of their misunderstandings. They had already had sad goodbye sex. It was thrilling to see them having enthusiastic, athletic sex. This also leads directly to one of my favorite emotional payoffs for a closeted character of all time.

Kiseki: Dear to Me Reunion

The second couple stole this show, but damn if I didn't love the way these two played out sex across multiple years between their characters. These two really suffered, and I really love the way Taro Lin and Hsu Kai captured the changes between these two as Bai Zong Yi grew and matured. This really was a solid sex scene.

Love Class 2: Sungmin and Joo Hyuk

I just really wanna thank them for reassuring me that if Korea wanted to, they could deliver.

Sleep With Me Jeans Scene

I am not a lesbian, but I share their beliefs. This scene was so good. I loved that these two, who have different kinds of disabilities, were able to have a very fun sex scene. I really like when it's clear both characters want to be there.

Only Friends: Boston and Top in the Car

Despite my eventual disdain for this show, I was impressed with Neo and Force for giving this incredibly selfish sex scene between their characters. This entire scene is about injured egos, and it's a standout scene from this show. We won't discuss the rest of the show here.

Thanks for the ask!

I absolutely did not have 'Sky Valley ends up with an explicit throuple in the 10th episode' on my bingo card for ever but okay. Okay, Oxin film. I guess you showed me. Just a man and his boyfriend and his ex exploring each other after a drunken birthday party. @absolutebl The throuples are spreading, lol.

Just to be clear, the show is NOT GOOD.

But dear lord I did not expect that.

Now...

The real question is if they truly go for it. Or if they make it just sex.

Important milestone

I’ve apparently watched 200 BL dramas not including ones I DNFed

This is officially my life now

Marahuyo Project - Official Trailer.

I have to admit, I watched it because I saw in the thumbnail, Tommy Alejandrino who played on of the main lead in The Day I Loved You. I really loved this BL, last year and I thought why not watching this trailer. He is not playing a main character here, but really it doesn't matter.

I watched the trailer and it seems really interesting, so you should also watch it. I know Filipino BL are not as popular as other BL, but they have their own way of showing QL stories and it can be refreshing.

The synopsis: Join King (Adrian Lindayag) as he journeys through the highly traditional town of Marahuyo, meeting new friends and finding love along the way as he lobbies to create the first LGBTQIA+ org in their campus.

Everything will be published on ANIMA Studios Youtube Channel. They have English subtitles on the trailer so we may have them also for the series. The series will start on the 24th of June.

MY STORY

OUR STORY

[ppeonppeonhan]

Me watching the first half of The Day I Loved You: Okay. Seems like Filipino Heartstopper where the bad guy gets the lead instead of the good guy.

Gif by wanderlust-in-my-soul

[Best friend keeps implying the lead needs extra care.]

[Lead catches a cramp causing concern to his loved ones.]

[Bad guy makes a hyperbolic joke about the lead potentially dying.]

[Lead awkwardly looks away....]

[I...Google the ending of the series.]

NOPE.

NOT ME.

NOT TODAY.

Spoiler

I'm glad the series is giving visibility to disabled queer people and people with ALS, and telling a story about finding the joy in every day life even when it gives you every reason not to. But I am an emotional powder keg, so I'm gonna need to sit this one out.

[hughungrybear]

Okay, technically this isn't a BL. It's a Filipino teen mystery drama that I started watching because it keeps popping up on my FB (gonna love the algorithms 😅). But the way the other guy (Poch) just started undressing to get his not-so-secret crush's attention (Tim) is just hilarious. 😂😂😂

Also, if you missed seeing Elijah Canlas (from Gameboys), he is one of the main characters of this story. Only, the production are giving strong hints that by the end of this series, Tim and Poch will be together as well as Elijah's character (Archie) and Roxy (the one that Tim calls 'Babe' during the call) will end up together.

Having dropped Dangerous Romance, I am now down to three shows. As our intrepid BL adventurer, what would you recommend I watch?

Airing or Recently Finished

Of the things currently airing, I would recommend the following.

My Personal Weatherman (Gaga, Viki)

This show has been a fascinating examination of a new-ish relationship with some heavy kink overtones. This show is not so much about the chase, and so much more about how these two could actually function long-term. I've enjoyed reading @lutawolf kink talk about this one, and the leads have some of the best sexual chemistry we've seen from Japan.

If It's With You (Gaga)

We have a sexually active and assured gay protagonist who knows who he is and what he wants. He's also a menace with some sort of trauma. I am absolutely obsessed with him. This show is going to be very short at 5 episodes, so it may be one you don't want to miss out on. Truly, this has felt like nothing else we've had in a long time and I've been thinking about it for days.

Love in Translation (iQIYI)

This just finished and is an absolute delight. This is one of the better executions of a workplace romance we've seen this year, and was the show anchoring me with all the heavy shows and silly shows airing at once. This show had so much heart to it. It had some wobbles towards the end, but the kindness underpinning this show makes it one of my favorites of the year.

Past Shows

Because you're still doing the homework, here are some shows I know you missed.

Make It Right (Grey)

You should still finish this. I still believe this is one of the most important foundational works for what made Thai BL start to feel more queer. This show asked big questions about male sexual maturation and I don't think any of the Thai high school shows have gone there since.

We Best Love (WeTV)

You probably haven't watched much from Taiwan, but this is one of the best examples of why we remain committed to them. Sam Lin and Yu have hands down the top three best paired chemistry in BL.

Rainbow Prince (YouTube)

This camp masterpiece from last year is one of my favorite shows. It is a hot mess, but the songs are fun and the plot is ridiculous.

[bl-bracket]

Introducing the Next BL Bracket: Best Siblings in a BL!!!

Which siblings have the best relationship? Or which ones have the most interesting relationship? From wholesome siblings to complicated family dynamics, all siblings from BL are welcome here to compete!

Who counts as siblings for this?

At least one of the siblings needs to be a main OR supporting character in a BL drama

They must be considered siblings in canon. Both biological and adopted siblings count! For found family situations, they must consider themselves to be siblings (and not just generally family or close friends)

Submissions are available here!

Submissions close on July 7th @ 7 PM GST

[heretherebedork]

Aww, sad not throuple moment! Come on, undo it! You can totally get together with your boyfriend and his ex-boyfriend and build a whole loving relationship. Just do it! For me? Please? Throuple, throuple, throuple! Junjun needs more than one person taking care of him in the city, apparently, and it'd be better if they were both looking out for him.

Oh man. So, yeah, they're not likely to do real throuple. Maaaan. Come on! Just give me this!

And we could have had so much more. But noooo. But nooooo.
