I haven't seen it, would it make a 51 year old biker that used to bounce at a strip club blush?


Nooooo.... It was just a kiss. But I don't kiss people on the lips to offer comfort. Cheeks maybe? Or forehead. Smacking lips? Not so much, unless you're my husband. Lol!

Kissing on the lips as a more casual behavior is very continental European.

 

Its quite different for us Americans

I saw the video of that kiss. It's not a quick peck. There is some saliva exchange going on there.

Not Anders' kiss. Dorian's kiss. The one that happens if you flirt with him after the father quest.

Oh, sorry. I saw people mention Anders doing something similar so thought that this was the kiss being talked about. 

 

So this kiss?

Honestly I thought the Dorian romance was pretty accurate...  Certainly it is not accurate for *all gays ever* (obviously), but I absolutely felt represented both as an individual and as part of a group that engages in similar behavior super frequently.  My experience is that there are just very few boundaries put up once two guys connect on some level.  It can frequently move very fast.  

 

I'm sure the same can be said for a lot of straight people, but the "straight culture" balance of slow-moving to fast-moving I would guess is different than that for the gays.

I honestly got that Dorian was a "quick to move to physical stuff" type of guy because of his culture.  He's from a land where male-male romances are accepted, as long as they are between master and slave.  There's no cultural expectation that it will be anything more.  Add to that the fact that he's a very wounded character who is masking his hurt under a facade of drinking, casual sex, and general sassiness.  I agree that he's very realistic.  I know several Dorian's.  Many of them have spiraled out of control with drinking, drugs, and casual sex.  Some have found steady support systems and worked through their demons.  I feel like that's what can happen with a supportive Inquisitor.  He can act as the steady arm supporting Dorian as he rights himself.  It also jives with the whole, "Oh, you wanted this to be serious?  I never really thought of that....." reaction when you try to get him to commit.

I don't feel that way at all.  I feel like Dorian is a fantastic character who is realistic, relatable, and has a lot of depth.  And Sera's actually fine with me because I like having some of the characters not have their sexuality be part of their story arc.  I wish we had a guy like that in DA.  Steve was a great example of what I'd like to see in a gay DA guy.  Someone whose sexuality isn't an issue.  His story was about overcoming the loss of his spouse.  The fact that he was gay was totally inconsequential.
