Also, I always think you are different people depending on who you are with. I felt it when I lost my Dad. I lost not only him, but the way I spoke to and interacted with him, the silly games we'd play. There was nobody I could do that with anymore. That way I had of being, with him, I lost it. Maybe not entirely... but almost entirely.
We are all a combination of who we are, who our families and friends make us, where we're from and what we experience. Everything that makes a person different. I would say all the boys have been pretty open in the house. I didn't watch so closely at the start of the series, but wasn't Jackson fine with getting on the bed with Sam at the start of the show? (In fact didn't some question in that first week or so whether he might be bi even?!?) Alex has had all the boys sitting on him. Jason who you may stereotypically expect the opposite of has easily gotten into ladies attire. They're all pretty comfortable with whatever, and I am not a man and can't say I have loads of make friends, but I don't feel it is a thing that does not happen with anyone.....?!?!
Aaanywayyyy.”

Yeh - i guess living together like they have will lead to a more carefree familiarity than might usually exist. And thats great. I do still feel that the male hetero norm is to be averse to touchy feely scenes as we witnessed with Hughie. Obviously there are exceptions and thats fine , and as you say jackson may be a genuine exception and feel comfortable cuddling up with another guy on the sofa, he may even be bi , or he may be playing up to the camera.
Anyway its all good.
