Not as such, IIRC it was more his completely relaxed self-confidence about his omni-sexuality which tend to impress men who were still not interested in him. (Gwens husband Rhys, for example, thought Jack was just a bit of a prettyboy and had no interest in him)
It was "Good argument for contraception" Owen who used a recovered alien pheremone to cause people of both sexes to become sexually attracted to him, regardless of their actual orientation or professed lack of interest in him. The Producers (surprise, surprise) were apparently shocked that anyone could read such a thing as a date rape analogue, when their apparent intention was that was supposed to unlock ones inhibitions and only someone who had gay tendencies, however repressed or ignored, would be affected. Personally, watching the scene again, it's STILL hard to see how dense one would have to be NOT to read it as a date rape analogue.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
