I would have to disagree about sexual detail in the books when it comes to the relationship of Danaerys and Khal Drogo in book 1.

There were some fairly graphic descriptions there, but they were so well done. They really served to establish the unexpectedly close and loving relationship between the two, which was difficult to translate into the series visually.

But the end of that relationship in the series though, I believe they did capture how much the two loved each other despite how they came to be together.

But yes, in the books Martin’s handling of sexual content is NOTHING like what some people intent upon libel in this thread are tying to PRETEND that it is.

Ok, I forgot about that in book 1. Yes, you’re right. But that particular use was as you said an actual loving relationship in the end... which was really quite a beautiful thing. One of the rare “good things” in Martin’s world of backstabbers.
