American Gods: See images and video from the most explicit gay sex scene ever shown on TV
American Gods released its third episode on Sunday, and with it one of the most explicit gay sex scenes ever shown on television.
The Starz fantasy series sees depressed salesman Salim (Omid Abtahi) in a cab driven by a jinn – who you might call a genie, an ancient Arab god. Mousa Kraish plays the centuries-old taxi driver and the two connect.
Each episode departs from the main story for a Coming to America segment, showing how other humans interact with these ‘gods’ that walk among them. Neil Gaiman, who wrote the original novel, said the experience of watching the finished onscreen result was ‘absolute amazement and absolute joy’.
Run by gay writer and director Bryan Fuller and his producing partner Michael Green, they said they wanted the scene to be ‘undeniably beautiful for even those who were uncomfortable with same-sex romance’.
The scene begins with Salim who is kept waiting in an office, wearing an ill-fitting suit and in possession of a box of trinkets to sell. The hours tick by but no one wants to see him.
After hours of waiting in futility, he is forced out into the pouring rain of New York City. His taxi driver keeps his sunglasses on even at night. Soon they talk about Oman, where Salim is from, and an ancient city from long ago.
His taxi driver falls asleep in the traffic. Salim goes to shake him awake, and as he does, the sunglasses fall away. And in the rear view mirror, Salim sees eyes that burn with fire.
Salim recognizes the jinn for what he is. And there’s a connection. 
They reach Salim’s hotel, and nervously, the salesman offers up his room number.
Ensconced in the room, the jinn goes to shower, and Salim undresses. Once the bathroom door opens, the jinn drops his towel to reveal a huge penis. (See in video below)
‘I wish you could see what I could see,’ Salim says, as he gets on his knees.
‘I do not grant wishes,’ the jinn says. The two kiss and get on the bed.
They kiss deeply and passionately.
And then, the jinn prepares Salim.
They have sex slowly and sensually, with any kind of trepidation falling away.
And as it reaches the climax…
The world falls away, and the couple are transported to the deserts of ancient Oman. The jinn fills Salim with an ejaculation of flame.
And Salim can feel it in every part of him.
The next morning, Salim awakes. The jinn is nowhere to be found. Salim’s clothes and belongings are gone, but the taxi driver’s stuff remains.
Getting dressed, Salim dons the sunglasses and begins his new life working behind the wheel.
Speaking at an American Gods screening at a EW panel, Green said: “The more Bryan and I talked about it and the more he brought his perspective into it, I saw it as a story of a god giving a man permission to be himself and to enjoy sex and to be made love to.”
American Gods actor, Kraish said, “It was just so beautiful. Just seeing two Middle Eastern men represented in that way, with humor and love and joy…it’s taken me 11 years to get to that.”
And Abtahi said, “It was just so fucking beautiful. I’m so proud to be a part of it.”
While the original novel only featured Salim and the jinn in one segment, viewers will be able to see more of their story going forward.

May 16, 07:11Good Lord! ? This was supposed to be “beautiful for even those who were uncomfortable with same-sex romance”? Its raunchy, is what it is. I love it! I doubt the brethren at Westboro church will find it pleasing to their jaundiced eyes.

May 16, 15:13The series is not all that really. Started it because of KD, it’s rather disappointing. i doubt it would make it pass the first season

May 16, 09:00I have never seen a more boring show, even the sex scene was flat for me, no matter how explicit they made it. It fell flat and it didnt even give me an ounce of arousal like sex scenes in spartacus

Delle
May 16, 12:56And who has bothered watching the trailer. Such effrontery saying, “The show that’s set to beat Game of Thrones”
Can you imagine? ????

May 16, 20:35A djinn literally means a spirit more like spirit some evil some good Iblis ( satan) is the first and most powerful djinn.. A djinn can possess a human and speak through a human….. they are believed in Islam to be created from fire unlike earth used to create humans..
and the show might later get very interesting you can’t say , not everybody liked game of thrones first season
