Has Game of Thrones gone too far? Scene involving group of prostitutes at start of new series..
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 9, 2014 | Laura Cox

A prince strips a posing group of prostitutes naked one by one as he selects a companion for the night. It sounds like a scene from a porn film, but this was the latest episode of the epic fantasy drama Game of Thrones, based on the novels of George R R Martin. The start of the gory series’ fourth season on Monday even managed to shock its own fans. .....................................................

Campaigners warned it could lead to young people being ‘desensitised’ to content once considered shocking and being influenced by the behaviour they displayed. Miranda Suit, of Safermedia, said: ‘What are [young girls] learning from some of these storylines?

It’s an extension of “try before you buy.” If you’re royalty, you get an extra layer of consumer protection; it’s “try before you try.” /S

In the books there is mention of sex here and there, it’s not been over done. Just a few words here and there.

There is a big difference between text and tv/film. Reading, "Jane walked into the Walmart and took all her clothes off," is very different from watching a film of Jane walking into the Walmart and taking all her clothes off. It would take a lot of words to describe everything that is seen in the situation.

Even more so, text vs. film, if the situation is, "Jane walked into the Walmart, took all her clothes off, and then had sex with Bob in the laundry-detergent aisle."

“...Freudian slip...”

Yeah, I’ve seen the clip of it. It’s not for the squeamish.

That was what she said she dreamed about.

Nice, huh? What a psycho nutjob...

It was the same way with The Tudors a few years back. I loved that series, but they had to throw two queer characters into the mix.

The books do not have much sexual description. With the exception of the marriage of Danarys and her husband in the first book. He mostly implies the sexual acts without graphic detail.

I tried to watch the series until the gay sex came up. I do not watch that. It amazes me HBO seems to be under the impression folks want to watch that trash.

"Clean up in aisle 12!"

I love Game of Thrones. Compared to the Sparticus series on Starz, the sex and violence is pretty tame.

There is some nudity, but generally its over quickly. There is a warning before each episode. It is rated TV-MA.

All that being said, I think it is the best cable drama series on TV.

She went nuts when she lost Micheal Douglas to Catherine Zeta-Jones.

People who call GoT porn are either ignorant or stupid.

I find it hard to fap to, but I manage anyways.

I found the Red Wedding disgusting and likely written by childless abortion rights types

You can fast forward and tolerate GOT

But Stars Spartacus....I gave up...homo homo...yuck

The White Queen though was great

Dowton Abbey is reasonable too

GOT is more bloody than most....no question but the gratuitous homo crap bugs me most

Its pure propaganda

"In its fourth season some people are now "shocked" some man of means is shown picking a prostitute."

EGGSactly Batman. Season One had a scene where the King's Wife and her Brother (Adult incest) were making whoopie in a castle tower and a young boy who lives in the castle and likes to climb hears the two going at it while he is climbing and looks in the window. The Queen sees him and shouts in surprise so her Brother jumps up and grabs the boy. The Queen keeps saying "he saw us, he saw us" so her Brother shrugs and says "Oh the things I do for Love..." and then shoves the boy out the window to his apparent Death.

BUT NOW everyone is concerned because some Noble inspects a few harlots while they are in the nude?

The mind boggles at their selective outrage.
