Sexuality in tv shows

This time I'm going to analyse a character from one of my favourite TV shows, The Big Bang Theory.
The character I am going to analyse is Howard. Howard likes to think of himself as a ladies man, he thinks he's absolutely amazing. When in reality he is creepy and nerdy but he is funny in his attempts to get in to relationships. For example, in one episode he dresses up as gothic person...
Howard is a heterosexual male.
This is two shot of him and Raj (His best friend). As you can see, he is wearing fake tattoos and black clothes. This implies he is trying very hard to get a random girl who often hangs out in this kind of place. As you can see in the backdrop, it is dark but has lights around the bar. This implies heterosexual people will try anything to get a member of the opposite sex. Before he got married, he was often mocked for failing to get a girlfriend.


Incorporating sexuality may not be needed because our current idea doesn't involve sexual tokenistic values.
