Except that, this time, two male contestants that viewers presumed were entirely straight end up confessing that they&#8217;re acting very horny for each other in the middle of a house party.<\/p>\n<p>Those cast members, named Nathan Silva and Bruttoz, have a conversation that is extremely X-rated by any measure. Yet, somehow, that interaction still comes across as pretty earnest and endearing, as they&#8217;re both clearly nervous while talking about their feelings and don&#8217;t really know how to go about it.<\/p>\n<p><span\/>This scenario played out in season 4 of Brazil&#8217;s T\u00fanel do Amor (which translates to Love Tunnel) on cable network Multishow and streaming service Globoplay (which is available for U.S. subscribers). Nathan Silva was at the center of the discourse regarding this reality TV saga, too, as he literally had never disclosed his feelings for other men, nor the fact that he wanted to explore his bisexuality on the show but didn&#8217;t anticipate that he would be able to. At a different point in the season, Nathan even got to meet another contestant, Vini, with whom he also shared a pretty steamy kiss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to watch: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/globoplay.globo.com\/tunel-do-amor\/t\/8rZqHX5S76\/\" target=\"_blank\">Globoplay<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rebellt-item&#10;        &#10;        &#10;        &#10;        col1\" id=\"rebelltitem41\" data-id=\"41\" data-reload-ads=\"false\" data-is-image=\"True\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.out.com\/gay-tv-shows\/gay-dating-shows#rebelltitem41\" data-basename=\"perfect-match\" data-post-id=\"2659517716\" data-published-at=\"1717530161\" data-use-pagination=\"False\">\n<h2 data-role=\"headline\">\n<p>                &#8216;Perfect Match&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"9a9e8\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"fd001158fb0050c2bbcb70ce51b46724\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image \" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20675'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/www.out.com\/media-library\/u200babbey-humphreys-and-francesca-farago-on-u200bperfect-match-u200b-season-1.jpg?id=52378005&amp;width=980\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"\\u200bAbbey Humphreys and Francesca Farago on \\u200bPerfect Match\\u200b season 1\"\/><small class=\"image-media media-caption\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Abbey Humphreys and Francesca Farago on Perfect Match season 1.<\/p>\n<p><small class=\"image-media media-photo-credit\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Netflix<\/p>\n<p>Perfect Match has the interesting concept of combining dating show elements to an All Stars-esque cast of popular reality TV stars from across different Netflix shows.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, Perfect Match does focus on the experience of men and women pairing up together as straight couples, even though the series encourages its cast members to &#8220;explore their sexualities.&#8221; One reality TV icon who has always understood the assignment was Too Hot to Handle legend <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.out.com\/celebs\/francesca-farago-jesse-sullivan-pregnant-child\" target=\"_self\">Francesca Farago<\/a>, who ended up getting matched with Abbey Humphreys (Twentysomethings: Austin).<\/p>\n<p>And they just went for it!
