Game of Thrones has plenty of juicy sex in it. (And blood, but we're going with the sex here.) So with all those players, why no man-on-man action? GoT author George R.R. Martin was asked that very question at the Edinburgh International Book Festival over the weekend. His answer? He would not want to put in gay characters or gay sex just "for the sake of it."
Asked if the current lack of mansex could be rectified later, Martin said, "It might. I've had letters from fans who want me to present particularly an explicit male sex scene – most of the letters come from women."
But don't get your hopes up. He's got two more books to be published in the series A Song of Ice and Fire, so he was asked will he include some gay scenes? He responded, "If the plot lends itself to that, if one of my viewpoint characters is in a situation, then I'm not going to shy away from it, but you can't just insert things because everyone wants to see them."
And here we thought inserting things because everyone wants to see them was called "television."
Who would you like to see getting it on in GoT? (Winter's coming, gotta keep warm!)
Since it’s just for fun, I’d
Since it's just for fun, I'd love to see Daario and Jon Snow get together.
