One fan couldn't help but cringe during the latest episode of House of the Dragon when watching with their parents. Spoiler alert: the episode was quite graphic. The hit series featured a very explicit sex scene, complete with a fully erect – presumably prosthetic – penis. This left many TV fans in shock, as nudity and sex are nothing new in the world of Westeros. However, after receiving criticism for the lack of male nudity in Game of Thrones, it seems House of the Dragon is making up for it in season 2 episode 3.
In this episode, King Aegon Targaryen takes his squires to a brothel to initiate one of them, who happens to be a virgin. As Aegon pulls back the curtain, viewers are given an eyeful of a woman performing fellatio on a man. But that's not all, as Aemond Targaryen is also fully nude in this scene. Aegon doesn't seem to have any qualms about humiliating his younger brother in this setting. While this scene was quite shocking for many viewers, it was especially awkward for those watching with their parents.
Fans took to social media to share their reactions, with one Twitter user writing, "Imagine watching the latest episode of House of the Dragon with your parents, and THAT brothel scene comes out of nowhere lol." Another added, "Now that was an awkward episode to watch with parents." One viewer even shared that their mother walked in during the scene and now thinks they are a pervert.
But it wasn't just the brothel scene that caught fans off guard. Moments later, Prince Aemond was shown standing fully nude after being humiliated by his brother. Some fans were taken aback by this unexpected display of male nudity, with one viewer questioning whether it was a prosthetic or the real deal.
Director Geeta Vasant Patel explained why Aemond actor Ewan decided to be fully nude in this scene, stating that it was fitting for his character. She shared that Aemond had been hurt and bullied in his past, causing him to create a persona of someone who is callous and has no regard for others' opinions. This vulnerable side of Aemond is seen as he puts on his armor and stands up, not caring that his penis is visible. Patel revealed that Ewan felt strongly about this moment and wanted to be fully nude to stay true to his character.
While some fans were caught off guard by the explicit scenes, others found them unnecessary. One viewer tweeted, "There was absolutely zero reason for #HouseOfTheDragon to include an explicit act of fellatio. Like, at all." Another expressed their surprise, writing, "Nothing could have prepared me for the scene at the brothel with Vaghar on full display," referencing Aemond's dragon.
House of the Dragon continues to push the boundaries with its explicit content, but it seems to be paying off as the series is a hit with viewers. New episodes are released on Mondays, and fans can catch the show on Sky Atlantic and NOW. Have a celebrity story or video to share?
