GM has written some pretty fucked up shit even before ASOIAF. The Meathouse Man, Portraits of his Children and Wild Cards has some really disturbing stuff in them. Disturbing in a problematic way, not like in a Stephen King way. Martin was on set during the filming of Dany and the Khal bumping uglies. He thought it was hot. And it probably was. He also took a moment to point out that a horse on set was also aroused.
Yeah, he's creepy.
As soon as the cameras are off I am going to fuck that little dog.

Where was this from? And horses always get boners. That is weird.

If i had kids he wouldnt be my first choice for a babysitter. The guy is a great writer and all that but to write stuff that detailed you really have to think "long and hard"(lol) about it and that is what creeps me out. I mean Dany can still get it on with people just i dont need the details that makes me think ur a pedophile.

I believe it was from a con in London where Adam Whitehead interviewed him. Probably one of the last full-length interviews I've ever slogged through: you can listen to "I was a young boy in Bayonne" only so many times. It's a long one, wish there was a transcript out there.

Awkward. You can't redact it, either, if it's been recorded. That's probably why I couldn't find it online.
he also has a thing for stuff like menstrual blood and diarrhea. Dany's water diarrhea was pretty gross and detailed. I agree with the post about breast milk, too, lol! I can't remember where, maybe it was Theon talking to Asha before he knew she was his sister, but he mentioned he wanted to try her mother's milk, I think.

Oh, come on; are we going to get all prudish about horse boners here?
I was with you, serwalter. I actually was given the first book in this series much closer to when it came out. I was probably in my late teens. And I actually put it down, because it was just a bit too raw for my tastes. Especially the Drogo/Dany sex scene.
I will defend Martin on this, though: His world is intentionally sensual. It's a brutal place, an animal place, and he transmits that to the reader through often graphic depictions. Think of Clydas, even; his face all covered in pox or whatever. Gilly's baby's furs reeking of shit. Khrazz's innards spilling out of him "like a nest of greasy eels." His overlong food descriptions are part of the same style.

Heh. I wanted to take a pic of a beautiful Percheron at my stable, but I didn't because his wang was hanging out. Just means he's happy and relaxing, ain't no thang! Although Twist is much more polite and never has boners in front of me.
As for being sensual, absolutely, you're right. There are lots of stinky details, not just about sex. I find the Dany sex scene bothers more men. Maybe because as a guy it's gross to imagine having sex with a 13 year old. I didn't imagine myself as being 13 having sex with Drogo.
I was in high school when the series came out, too, so we're probably close in age

I agree that it def fits with his style but when it comes to young girls his style kinda just creeps me out. That all being said I obviously think he's a great author ( not Tolkien status yet) or i wouldnt be here on the forums but just some constructive criticism i dont need to know about how drogo's seed tastes, where u put perfume , the 100 different ways to cook a god damn lamprey or Quentin Martel. For me it took away from the story because it makes me wanna psycho analyze the guy.

The night before, it had been the miller's wife. Theon had forgotten her name, but he remembered her body, soft pillowy breasts and stretch marks on her belly, the way she clawed his back when he fucked her. Last night in his dream he had been in bed with her once again, but this time she had teeth above and below, and she tore out his throat even as she was gnawing off his manhood.

Stretch marks, just the thing to make a young man all hot and bothered...
Why must I always be the isle of crazy alone in an ocean of sensibility? The should to everybody else’s shouldn’t? The I-will to their better-nots?

wait a second my wife said that was normal

I'm using this
"I can see it. You have more of the north in you than your brothers."
Like, why was that necessary to go there? I am not a prude, but she's still a kid, and it was pretty detailed. Who does that in real life anyway? Never mind, I don't want to know...
I'm about as unprudish as it gets, but that bothered me too. It does nothing at all for the story. Her being young and deflowered was enough for her arc. No need for this sort of vulgarity. And that might be the first time I've ever used the word 'vulgarity' un-ironically... I'm pretty sure it is.
YES! that scene really made me think " what kinda guy writes this"
I try not to engage in kink-shaming, but I got no problem with it if it's about tweens. Another one: what about Dany getting pleasured by her young handmaiden on the boat?! I haven't gotten that far in my reread yet, so don't remember who, but was under the impression they were both kind of young. Dany can't be older than 14 when that happens.
some of his sex scenes make me wonder. "Fat pink mast" and "Myrish swamp" come to mind, lol!
ETA: in the house of the undying, Dany says her blue drink tastes of Drogo's seed once it starts to taste better to her! Omg, I was just thinking about that last night, too.
Yup yup yup. I don't know what the fuck is up with that stuff. I mean some of it's funny, in a very crude way, but I don't think he means for it to be. That's the really fucked up part.
