[No Spoilers] Game of thrones; If you're gonna dump a bunch of sex scenes in your tv show, at least make it sexy

Hey, so I really like your post and it perfectly fits why we've made our rule requiring discussion of sex in the show to be done in a mature manner. So right off the bat, thank you for that.

Now, mod hat off, I think it depends on the tone of the scene. Since GoT covers so many different tones in so many different ways, it's hard to distinguish what is and isn't relevant or artistic.

Non-artistic examples:

1. Littlefinger's brothel monologue

A silly unnecessary use of nudity. Hardly anyone even remembers what he said plot-wise in lieu of the "tutorial" he gave his girls.

2. Loras' entire state of being

Everything Loras does is just "that gay dude bein hella gay". Much of his character development from the books is totally washed away.

3. Tyene Sand

No explanation needed.


Artistic/Story-telling examples:

1. Dany's AGOT/S1

[AGOT/S1](#s "When Dany is learning how to seduce Drogo it is the first instance of her really having a 'power play' on anyone in her whole life. I think it's really our first glimpse into who she may become in the future."
