The online LGBT-centred streaming service Dekkoo extends it range of exclusive online series with I’m Fine, which has just released its first four episodes. The show focuses on gay guy Nate (Perry Powell). He’s relatively recently split up with boyfriend Joey and is still in the process of negotiating life without him.

That involves exploring the possibilities of hook-up apps and whether a bit of meaningless sex is what he wants. There’s also a best friend who may secretly be in love with him, friends who have a tendency towards saying the wrong thing and a hope that maybe there’s still a spark with Joey. Nate may also have to start realising that perhaps there are other people out there for him. [Read more…]

18-years-old Sean’s father takes him to visit a prostitute so that he can lose his virginity. The young man is nervous, shy and seemingly unsure whether he wants to go through with it or not.

However, Sean’s dad is waiting outside and keen to know that his son is getting what he’d been paid for. [Read more…]
