My point is I'd prefer the soaps to stay away from making out scenes, on a bed or otherwise. Strangely enough, I don't mind quite graphic sex scenes (straight, gay or other) in more "adult" drama/films (and no, I'm not talking about porn ), but anything from close ups of people eating each others faces onwards feels to me to be out of place and embarassing in soaps.
I never said I expected the ACTUAL sex to happen on screen. I just wanted them to imply sex more than they did. I wanted them to kiss on a bed while undressing then maybe see them together again in bed, or getting dressed, the day after. That's it. But they couldn't even show that. I found it lame, especially considering the lesbians on this show got a scene like that but of course not the gay men. It's hypocritical.

I disagree with you about close ups of kissing etc. I think it's good, especially to see the gay couple being treated the same when it comes to affection, kissing etc as the straight couples. I still think it was a cop out to not show them before or after having sex, but that's a minor pet peeve. Corrie has been so good with everything else about this relationship, so I'm not too bothered.
