Fellas, is it gay...

Time travel stories often present a lot of existential questions, but HBO’s recent adaptation of The Time Traveler’s Wife just got down to the nitty gritty — traveling back in time to give yourself a blow job.

The Time Traveler’s Wife is based on a 2003 novel by Audrey Niffenegger, and follows a man named Henry (Theo James) who travels in time unpredictably thanks to a genetic disorder, and the impact that has on his wife, Clare (Rose Leslie).

The already infamous blow job scene took place in the second episode of the show, which aired on Sunday. It features 16-year-old Henry (Brian Altemus) getting caught in the throes of passion by his father, only to reveal that the person underneath his cover is…himself.

Fellas, is it gay if you’re just giving yourself a bj?

The episode, written by former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat, caused quite a stir. While more conservative folks predictably clutched their pearls, the curious spent time debating both the practicality and appeal of such a situation.

The Time Traveler’s Wife is only two episodes deep and is already no stranger to controversial content, although Henry figuring out how to fellate himself is admittedly a much more fun plot line than him going back in time as an adult to inform his wife’s child self that they’ll be married one day.

And it just might be pulling in more viewers, too.
