@spence8585 This is very true for most boys love because they are aired on public television to gain a lower censorship rating and scrutiny from the government entities.
Now, they are trying to break away from this and these studios have found an outlet through online streaming sites and paid YouTube memberships since demand is very high for these scenes and the fans are just disappointed and will give a very low rating if they don't see what they want.
You will mostly only see natural man to man kisses in Filipino gay movies or boys love shows because their culture is more Westernized compared to others but then it mostly a Roman Catholic country that is why there has been not much big productions from them to avoid scrutiny from the church and religious politicians. The very first and most natural torrid kissing boys I've seen was from My Day The Series. It's here in GayTor and I think that was episode 8. Then a lot of Filipino boys love popped up during the pandemic and I guess neighbouring countries got challenged and there goes the evolution to where it is in process as the boys love category goes forward.
By the way, I just uploaded THE PROMISE - Phupha and Nan Fah. Enjoy!
