I think he asked because Jack never came before; a sign that sex was nothing but a game to him. But when he came with Cassie, it meant he actually felt something for her, and Pilot probably knew that would happen but was saddened/annoyed/disappointed to see it.
This movie was just two really good friends; I think people put too much into trying to turn everything into some type of homosexual undertone. However, no one mentioned [that I saw] anything about Cobainwho was once quoted to say he would try out guys if he wasn't married to Courtney. So who knows; maybe this whole movie was just a bunch of gay guys.
but I seriously doubt it.
One the other hand [yeah, I'll shush in a sec] what's up with Johnny's blond haired friend? Family, friend, or partner, hmm?? lol I think you guys just wanted to see Jared and Jake get it on LOL Bah. -

I think there was some subtext there but I feel the feelings were from Pilot towards Jack but they weren't returned. Pilots problem is he couldn't get hard with his girlfriendif it has always been that way..which it seems to be. Then it imo was because of his sexuality and him being more attracted to men.
Also when they introduced Johnny FoxI felt subtext between him and Pilot within seconds. Johnny was very protective of Pilot and there seemed to be something unspoken between them. Many moments of hugs lasting too long etc, and the whole dancing in the field was a moment they shared. Maybe Johnny just got that vibe from Pilot as I also wondered if the blonde guy was Johnny's partner and that he was gay.

I don't think their character's are gay. Yes Pilot is sexually confused due to the fact that he's practically high 24-7.

Obviously the homoeroticism wasn't totally unintentional because they ended the film with a quote from Jack Kerouac's "On The Road", where the two main male characters have a thing, it's very homoerotic. I think the filmmakers intended for the homoeroticism to be in the film, and to be subtle. I think it works. It was great in this film.

I'm surprised so many people here saw the undertones as well. I saw this on TV yesterday, and while I don't think "they were gay", I think that Gyllenhall's character came off as probably being at least bisexual. But it seemed like his affection for Leto's character was something that he hadn't articulated, either to himself or others. The character didn't seem like someone who would pause to ponder such an issue and its ramifications. Rather, it was something less a matter of "thinking" and more a matter of "feeling/emotion".
And after he came out of the cathouse, didn't he tell Leto's character that they hadn't had sex, and that he'd simply talked to the prostitue like a psychiatrist or something? If I recall correctly, he was so happy because he'd gotten some things off his chest
I do think though that he also had a "crush", if you could call it that, on the girl in Seattle. The one who he felt he'd spent such a meaningful night and connected with, but who later ended up not remembering or recognizing him.

I dont really think there was any homoeroticism in the movie. The reason pilot didnt like cassie was because she was getting in the middle of his and jack's friendship. it happens quite often.
Also, often best friends begin to act like a married couple just because they know eachother so well. I dont really consider that homoeroticism because if you say it about this movie then you'd have to say it about joey and chandler on friends or the dudes from perfect strangers (with balki.)
on a sidenote, the person that said that in "on the Road" the two main character had a "thing" must have read a different book than the one i read and i've read it many times.
