As Ncuti Gatwa himself told us just recently, 'There's not a blueprint for a queer youth's romantic journey through life.' And that's true in both a physical and an emotional sense.Īs Eric is more experienced with LGBTQ+ culture, he's essentially Adam's blueprint for being queer, and at times, that can put an unfair amount of pressure on him. And why's that? 'I'm worried that I don't know what I'm doing.' That's often the case with first-time sex, particularly for teenagers, and even more so again for young queer people. But suddenly, faced with the deed itself, Eric admits that he is 'a bit scared,' after all.
