The following picked up something I didn't catch-possibly Ilya being surprised by how fierce Shane is. It's a good catch. In the actual book "Heated Rivalry," Shane is definitely not a milquetoast bottom totally acquiescing to Ilya's desires. He is often a very dominant bottom during the initiation, foreplay, and consummation of their intimate time . I don't see it quite as much in the broadcast series. But he's def not a pushover there either.

Yes I know they said it there. But I don't remember a sex scene in the broadcast series where they depict Shane cumming hands free. As it is, Ilya mentions it out the blue.

I thought I had read interviews where Francois Arnaud said his character doesn't know about Ilya and Shane. Plus in Episode #6 Ilya says he talked to Scott -I think to tell him how brave he thought Scott was. And Ilya didn't indicate that Scott made any mention of him and Shane. Ok I succumbed and read 'Heated Rivalry.' There are definitely differences between the book and the series. But there almost always are in broadcast adaptations of books. For example in one scene in one of the episodes Ilya says something about having made Shane cum hands-free. I don't actually remember that being remarked upon at the time in the television series although perhaps it was alluded to in one of the sex scenes, but I didn't catch it. Or in the book Shane does drive a Jeep Cherokee not something British. I wonder if some of the differences/deletions weren't originally there but ended up that way because of editing decisions. On the whole there are things I thought were better done -or at least explained better in the book, and some that were better in the series. One scene that was a definite plus in the series was the scene in Episode 6 between Shane and his mother. It's not from the book. But it was so heartrending. I get choked up seeing it even though I've watched the episode at least 4 to 5 times.

Sorry, I guess I did. But, and I apologize for having to point this out, Neville Longbottom is the portly one. In fact I believe there was a big deal at the time when the actor Matthew Lewis lost weight from puberty (I just re-looked this up and confirmed it). In the later films he actually had to wear a fat suit. Ron was always the skinny one.

He's def playing Ron. I think Harry calls him Ron at one point. Even if Harry didn't, Ben is playing Quidditch which Neville was horrible at. 'Hagrid' is just using the name as a joke.

You only saw it for a second. But from the quick glance shown, it looked like Ben Marshall had a very nice physique.

I'm trying to decide whether to read the series or not. I enjoyed the short, "My Dinner With Hayden." But I'm just wondering whether reading the books will spoil the future miniseries for me. I'd appreciate hearing people's opinions.

What is the irony?

She was probably just jealous.

Does Alexei actually know that Ilya has had sex with men-or does he just dislike Ilya-and is calling him gay as an insult without realizing that Ilya really is bisexual?

And just as an aside -I don't think I had ever heard of the "Heartstopper" series until I started reading "Heated Rivalry" reviews. If I had heard of it, it certainly didn't make an impression that I should watch it. Change of Subject -Episode 6- Spoilers, so I'll scroll down. 1. When Ilya arrives at the cottage, they both say they haven't been with anyone in months. A) I'm sure-esp considering how young they are -they've been 'pleasuring' themselves. I really doubt they've gone 2 months or more without release. Still I guess I can see how they can still be horny for companionship. Sex when you're alone is often different than sex with a partner. B) But that brings up another point. In the show, Shane is never shown to have any encounters with other men. But his response to Ilya in the cottage about not being with someone since the last time they were together, and a remark at his parents' place about only being in love once with Ilya still kinda sounds to me like he's had experiences with men outside Ilya. Can anyone who's read the books comment on whether Shane has ever had sex with men who aren't Ilya?

Even so, do you think they imagined it would be this big? I mean for the most part I'm not into gay romance books. Although to be totally honest, I have read some in the fantasy genre. But they definitely aren't my first choice. And I had never heard of this book series before the miniseries came out. I'm sure there are a lot of people like me who previously knew nothing about the Game Changer Universe. And yet it's caught me. I'm about to read "My Dinner With Hayden" for a second time.

If I had been drinking water like that, I'd be too full to pig out. My Mom is 91. She might like the story. But I doubt she'd like seeing the sex scenes. But I was wondering -have any of your straight parents or siblings watched this?

I may be weird -well yes I know I am. But I don't know about the term 'sexy'-I'm just not sure it fits my feelings. I mean sure certain people, ideas, situations arouse me. But I don't know -"sexy" always seem to imply to me dark rooms, shadows, things barely seen, something furtive and secret. While I can be aroused-or at least I could when I was younger -by the pictures of Mr. Olympia contestants posing. I prefer the latter to the former. But in that vein, in the old days Mr. Ramsey's pictures definitely got my 'motor running.' So maybe that is what's sexy for me.

Yes definitely sometimes. But at least in my case, sometimes I'm just being friendly and welcoming a newbie-or trying to politely suggest how things are usually done on here -like informing them that it's helpful to post a link if they inquire about a particular provider.

I once had a 15 minute or so actual call where we talked back and forth inquiring about whether he'd be available for a weekend and whether he could be versatile (=bottom). He was extremely nice on the phone. But said he didn't bottom-then backtracked slightly and said maybe once a year on his partner's birthday. So other than running across his path briefly at my one attendance at IML, I was never able to meet hin.

He used to say something about it being awful for straight guys having to put up with women to get sex. I didn't totally agree as I think some m/f couples do get along with examples being my parents and my older brother and sister-in-law.

But what floats our boats can be different. Some guys on here like slim bodied twinks -others like take charge tops. Neither of those are the demographic that rev my motor up. My best platonic friend likes young guys. A 29 year old is probably pushing it for him. He says liked guys his own age when he was in his 20's. He grew older but his likes remained the same. If I'm paying, what I'm attracted to are faces and athletic to muscular physiques. Most guys like that are let's say mid 20's to 40's. But if there were a 50 to 70 something with those attributes, then the age wouldn't matter. Now that I'm not hiring, I don't usually get guys who are that athletic. But I still in general am attracted to something about them. And I'm not there just to dip my wicket. I like, make that love, the kissing and foreplay. And (legal) age-let's say below 70 for now (but that may increase as I get older) assuming I'm attracted to them- doesn't matter at all.

It was obviously for emphasis.

All 4 of them make me. Not to mention Hayden and Marley are pretty darn fine too. For all of us athletes, I'm posting Hudson William's Workout Routine. The guy is 'jacked' if you hadn't noticed.

Thanks for the info. This is probably back when I wasn't actively contributing or looking at the Message Center as much. So I missed it. AnY news, @m_writer, on his underwear line?
