Same old stereotype
I was really hoping ... but it didn't happen. The filmmakers had a golden opportunity here, but fell for the false assumption that a film whose main audience is gay males has to have a major focus on gratuitous sex scenes in order to appeal to them. All films like this do is reinforce the same old stereotype that gay men are all sex addicts. Believe it or not, the majority of us actually have normal lives and normal sex drives, just like our straight counterparts. We do normal every day things that don't involve sex -- eat, sleep, work, pursue hobbies, etc. Instead of making a film that barely rises out of the soft-core porn category, the filmmakers could have given us a true romantic comedy in the tradition of the Day/Hudson, Hepburn/Tracy, or Ryan/Hanks films. There is so much more to love, romance, and comedy than lust and bedroom scenes.
