"Game of Thrones" occasionally came under fire for how it depicted sex, nudity, and sexual violence. There were really a couple different issues at play. In the first few seasons, the big issue was that the show treated female nudity as entertainment, trotting out body parts to titillate or distract. The most famous example is Littlefinger's "sexposition" scene in the first season, where the writers had Littlefinger exposit about his backstory while a couple of prostitutes writhed in the background lest the audience grow bored. That kind of thing cropped up often; think of the scene in the third season where Tyrion walks Podrick through a brothel full of women showing off their bodies. The scene isn't at all important to the story and is basically an excuse to leer at naked women. As the show went on, that kind shameless nudity tapered off.
"Game of Thrones" was also dinged for its depictions of sexual violence, most notably in a Cersei-Jaime scene from Season 4 and then in Season 5 when Ramsay Bolton rapes Sansa Stark on their wedding night. While the final couple of seasons had some sex scenes — Missandei and Grey Worm make love towards the start of Season 7 and Jon Snow and Daenerys hook up at the end — the show was definitely more cautious about this topic. The final season had practically no nudity or sex at all.
