Many fans are unhappy with Martin’s response, with some calling his response disappointing while Jezebel’s Lindy West compared it to recent comments from Woody Allen saying that he doesn’t “hire people based on race.” Others are arguing that it’s Martin’s series and he can write whatever he wants. “If the plot lends itself to that, if one of my viewpoint characters is in a situation, I’m not going to shy away from it.” “I’m not going to do it just for the sake of doing it,” he continued. Writing a book was not a democracy, or else he noted that Joffrey would’ve died a lot earlier in the series. While he didn’t rule out possibly putting gay sex scenes in future books, he didn’t want to put it in just because people wanted him to write it. “I put gay characters in the books, but they’re not the viewpoint characters so I did not have any explicit gay sex scenes in the early books,” Martin said. While he said that he wouldn’t “shy away” from any storyline in his series, the reason he hasn’t put any gay sex scenes in the books is because the gay characters aren’t point-of-view (POV) characters. The lack of gay sex in the books thus far contrasts with the show, which has already made Renly Baratheon’s relationship with Loras Tyrell (only hinted at in the books) more explicit and showed Oberyn Martell and Ellaria Sand in bed with men and women in season 4, which was also more subtle in the books.
Martin admitted that fans guessed the ending to his books at the Edinburgh International Literary Festival, he also told the crowd that he’s received letters from fans, most of them women, who request that he put more gay sex scenes in his books. There’s plenty of sex in Game of Thrones, but some of the book fans are left wondering why there is a lack of gay sex scenes in A Song of Ice and Fire.

Jonas also spoke about his workout routine to prepare for the show’s second season - apparently, Nate slims down. “I actually had to lean up - keep muscle, but keep it lean and more explosive, more athletic muscle than size,” says Jonas of his need to get into character. “I’m not eating as much as I was.
