Millennial here. I've always found random sex scenes obnoxious. It completely kills the pacing and pulls me out of the story. If you need sex for character development, you can much more easily allude to it and move on. The only time I can think of when it actually made sense for the story was in the movie Her and it was such a mild scene that didn't have any visuals.

    I think it worked for some early GOT moments too. It showed the monster that Khal Drogo really was, for example

    She gave consent in the book, although she was still only like 14 because George RR Martin is a creeper. So not really consent, but not quite like the show.

    calling him a creep for using historically accurate depictions of medieval marriage is...going a bit far...

    the story is set in a medieval world. so how is it creepy to use real medieval culture in the context of the story?
