I thought I was watching Sense8 during this last episode. Gay male sex seems to be the new thing to push the censorship envelope on TV these days. After the shock value wears off, I'm sure we will be returning to our "regularly scheduled programming" and content aimed at the usual target demographic.
I honestly don't have a problem with it except when it appears to be in there solely for shock value and doesn't necessarily fit the story or it over-complicates the situation. That character was well-established as being a twisted deviant via the bum fight and then later the bondage with his wife. Now on top of it I'm questioning his sexual orientation. Is he bisexual? Was his gay sexual encounter nothing about sexual preference/desire and solely about getting the info he needed? Is he indeed gay and his marriage is a total facade - for convenience and publicity? Maybe that was the point and maybe that character will be developed further but right now, his backstory is a bit of a mess.
As far as appealing to gay interests and tastes, I think the last thing a gay person would want is for gay sex to be represented in such a crude, mean-spirited fashion.
