I've read all the books and unfortunately no, it's never mentioned that Louis had sex with men- or anything about his sex life as a human in general. There's the one line from the Iwtw when he says that "sex was a pale shadow of killing" that some people interpret as him being a closeted gay man who only had sex with women but i'm not sure, since in the last books Lestat, after finishing having sex, repeats sth similar: that for a vampire sex isn't as satisfying as drinking blood. And since all vampires are panromantic after turning, Louis' human sexuality is largely a mystery haha.

And yeah in the show, he was obviously sexually experienced but not emotionally, Lestat was the first man with whom he allowed himself to be emotionally intimate with and lose control, a lot of people forget that they were best friends for months and I think that's way more special than Lestat taking his imagined virginity hahaha.

Hahah, thank you for letting me know though! It's been a minute since I read IWTV, so I'd forgotten that section, and I've only read up to Memnoch, although who knows, that might change soon ;-)

It's interesting that the show would make him so explicitly gay in a way the books didn't, but yes! I totally hear you on the emotional intimacy. I so wish we got to see more of that, especially given it seems like they were pretty selective with how they opened up with each other still (particularly given Lestat seems to have revealed so little of his own history to Louis). I'd love to know more about what they talked about and what those earlier chapters of their life (both pre and post Louis' turning) were like.
