C´mon, you gotta admit: This is priceless ! Welcome to the Porn Nerd Herd !:
As just one woman, I think that flaccid penises are ridiculous, flapping around here and there. I also think that this is precisely the reason we need more on screen. Also because if I meet a guy and it turns out he’s made insecure by what he sees on screen… well, my tits aren’t as perfect as Tyene’s, either, and I have to live with that, so get over yourselves, gents.
So, count one for onscreen penis.
Tyene?! I don't even remember Tyene's! And that's saying something.
"I can see it. You have more of the north in you than your brothers."
It was a great show…extraordinarily brutal, but really good. Were I to give it a secondary title, though, it would probably be “Penises on Parade,” or “Dicks on Display,” or “Plenty of Peckers,” or “Tons of Tallywackers.”
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?
It has died down, but what to add after something like this?:

As for the penis-to-tits ratio, find a way to cope. Male nudity will never garner as much attention as female nudity. It’s not about what’s equal–which is often confused for fairness–it’s about what’s demanded. If the audience in large part demanded an increase in male nudity, it would have happened. The fact that they–penises that is–aren’t shown more frequently must mean that a significant portion of the audience–including the 40% portion who are female–are either indifferent or averse to seeing penis. Or maybe Weiss and Benioff dislike the sight of penis. Game of Thrones is their beast, now. And if the penis-to-tits ratio isn’t much of concern to influence whether [you] watch the show or not, why should it be a concern to them?
Yes – my point – women are mostly indifferent or adverse to seeing penis – so it’s fine that there is no penis! Penis, penis, penis, hahahaha

Penis, penis, penis indeed.
Or the actors are too self conscious that they don't measure up

Martin not happy about this ? Well, shit, 15 million greenbacks per year certainly ease the pain, now don´t they ? Certainly finance his Sad Puppy dissertations.
And Elio, you cuddly little whiplash boy - would tWoIaF sell more or less if the HBO juggernaut didn´t exist? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

HA! So, apparently I needed to read one more post before writing my own.
Yes, this could be very interesting. The media covering how they, the media, cover entertainment media.
It's like Game of Thrones invaded an Escher painting.
All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Oscar Wilde.
It's stuff like this that makes me feel genuinely sorry for Bryan Cogman and completely understand why he blocks everyone who he doesn't follow on Twitter while the show is running. I'm guessing that this was written in retaliation for Dorne?
