The pair forge an instant connection, and Salim invites the Jinn to his hotel room, where they make love. They are said to live underground and frequent ruins (in this scene, the Jinn asks Salim if he knows of the City of Ubar, a mythical lost city in the sands of Oman, which the Jinn eludes to have been part of the excavation). In Islamic mythology, an Ifrit is a type of jinn born of fire and smoke, below the level of angels. Salim talks of his grandmother, who believed she once saw an Ifrit in a sandstorm. After his fiery eyes are revealed from behind his sunglasses, the Jinn talks of his state in America, where he drives a cab and is all but forgotten in New York, the last of his kind, one most people falsely believe can grant wishes. After an unsuccessful day trying to procure a meeting to sell his stock, Salim hails a cab and has a conversation in both Arabic and English with the Jinn (Mousa Kraish).

The second of this week's episode's " Coming to America" vignettes (the first focusing on the Egyptian god Anubis), the Jinn's story is a faithful recreation of the novel's scene, wherein a down on his luck salesman Salim (Omid Abtahi), newly arrived in the country, encounters a taxi driver with flaming eyes.
#AMERICAN GODS GAY SEX SCENES TV#
It is incredibly rare to see sex scenes on TV of such explicit nature, even less so between two men of color, and Fuller and Green did not hold back in depicting one of the novel’s most beautiful and melancholic moments. Even then, for viewers tuning in last night, the Jinn scene proved particularly jaw-dropping in its unexpectedly graphic depiction of a love scene between two men. This will be of no surprise to anyone who has been watching the show, in which Shadow ( Ricky Whittle) unfortunately found the photographic evidence of his late wife’s affair with his best friend, and the audience saw a poor soul being devoured sexually by the goddess of love, Bilquis (Yetide Badaki). If there is a sex scene in a show or film that if you eliminated it, someone can still appreciate the emotional journeys of the characters, then it probably wasn’t done right – or at least that’s how we went about it." They knew that there was going to be sexual content in this show, we were clear that our sexual content was always going to be uncuttable in the sense that it would be related to character and story and be presented as artfully as anything else. When Bryan Fuller and Michael Green began to adapt American Gods for the small-screen, they had a rule in place in regards to the novel's often graphic depictions of sexuality: If there was going to be nudity, then everyone would be getting naked! Green expanded upon this rule, which Fuller jokingly referred to as "Starz loves cock": Warning: SPOILERS ahead for episode three of American Gods
