My Fake Boyfriend

Gay men are categorized as either predatory and commitment-phobic or vulnerable and unable to assert themselves in healthy ways. A straight couple rescue a gay man from his weaknesses, but they also cause major problems. The cast is multiracial.

A stunt man coordinates fake violence for a TV show and a movie. A skinny man spars with a professional fighter and gets pounded.

There's no explicit sex, only references, sometimes crude, to the fact that people do have, like, and want sex, some of it gay and some of it straight. Characters kiss. A straight woman shows her cleavage to help determine if a man is gay or straight. A threesome is mentioned. Men and a woman joke about "penises." In one brief scene, played for comedy and without any overt sexuality, a man is seen from the chest up, bound to the bedposts in a seemingly consensual situation. His partner, seen even more briefly, wears a leather harness that reveals posterior cheeks for an instant. We're told two men are sending each other explicitly sexual texts, but we don't see the texts. References are made to "d--k pics" and for a second a blurred, pixilated image is shown of an animated penis. Passing reference is made by someone's mom to different ways of being sexual: "poly," "pan," "open."

One use of "f--k" and more frequent references to "d--k," "pr--k," "c--k," "penis," "vagina," "butt," "suck," "s--t," "hell," "bastard," "bitch," "sloppy seconds," "boner," and "banging."
