Game of Thrones begins....

[Siege]

I just sort of ignore the sex stuff on HBO shows.

so you ignore 3/4 of HBO shows? 

Seriously, though, there is just as much sex&nudity, heck, I'd say more, in G.R.R. books than in the tv show.

Yes, but is not the same reading than watching.
I read the One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights) when I was like 9.
It doesn't get more erotic than that.

It is the same to me. 

[Razgovory]

I just sort of ignore the sex stuff on HBO shows.  Like in Rome it is just totally pointless.  But it is a necessary evil.

Why do we have to put up with all these stupid sex scenes?
The only thing they do, is that kids cannot watch this show.
They are wasting time best used telling the story.

Brings in the viewers.

[Habbaku]

As long as they get most of the non-fucking right, I don't really mind the fucking or the sexposition that much.

[Valmy]

Why do we have to put up with all these stupid sex scenes?

Because it is a requirement for whatever reason.

Not really.  I can only think of a few per book and they are mostly for the creepiness factor.  In the show it is like once an episode at least.

Tyrion keeps fucking Shea every chapters in the books.  Cersei is fucking the Kettlebacks, Lancel and Moonboy for all I know.
In the first book, the sex scene between Cersei and Jamie is quite explicit.
In the second book, Sansa is stripped naked in public by her husband.
There are descriptions of the whorehouse and its activities when Tyrion enters it to take the secret passage to meet his prostitute girlfriend.
Greyjoy is fucking the captain's daughter on his way to his home.  Once he gets on the horse, he's grabbin his sisters tits.

In the 3rd or 4th book, there is talk of a dinner at some place conquered by the Greyjoys where the ladies of the house serve naked and some entertain the guests.  There is a lot of talk about rape in the books.

So far, I think only Brienne and Arya haven't been in a sex scene.  Brandon got a hardon seeing Osha coming out naked of some pool/lake.

Littlefinger keeps grabbing Sansa's breasts, even though she's a minor.

As I said, lots of sex.  Some of it was removed from tv, some added elsewhere (the prostitute in Winterfell).

Not really added.  In book one he goes to see the prostitutes there often iirc.

I guess I tend to forget the sex scenes I read

There were no actual sex scenes that I recall.  But I seem to recall that he introduced the imp to his favourite whore and I guess from that the character in the show was born.

I'm expecting Ros to replace Chataya and Alayahya.

[Siege]

Yes, but now the kids cannot watch the show.

[grumbler]

Yes, but now the kids cannot watch the show.

  You have kids?

[Viking]

Yes, but now the kids cannot watch the show.

It's HBO, when did the kids ever get to watch the show?

[Razgovory]

Yes, but now the kids cannot watch the show.

  You have kids?

He will.

Siege, the books are not children's books.  They are entertainment meant for adults.  The series reflects that.  Don't take that as me agreeing with the need for all the sex scenes, but this is not meant for kids.
