Ryan Thomas has been praised highly for his gay sex scene on Neighbours this week.

This actor, playing character Rafael, had recently suffered a motorbike accident that left him with severe scars across his body. This week, he found the courage to remove his clothes in front of David, played by Takaya Honda, who recently revealed that he was experimenting with his sexuality. The pair kissed as Rafael told David: "I only came out last year. I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed." The guys continued to embrace as the camera panned away, leaving viewers with the mere suggestion of what happened next. Following the scene, fans of the Australian soap took to Twitter to commend the actors on the "beautiful" scene and to complement their acting abilities too. They also applauded the show for including an implied sex scene between two men. https://twitter.com/DegrassiParody/status/973528651881836544 https://twitter.com/NeighboursHQ/status/973617492177379328 https://twitter.com/Doctragon/status/973475893422170112 https://twitter.com/PurlMaster55/status/974315528528564225 Thomas made his debut on Ramsey Street earlier this year as mysterious English tourist, Rafael.
