Don't worry about the sex.
The sexscenes aren't very long most of the time(only a couple of sentences) and they aren't graphic, just funny.

Well,

I've been staring at this post for a little while, scratching my head, giggling, and occasionaly shaking my head.

Let me say this. You are probably going to get a few replies to this question. I get the feeling that you are young and impressionable but here's my advice. READ it. If you like it, you like it, if you don't, you don't. Only then will you be able to decide whether or not you find it to be "graphic". Don't let other peoples opinions dictate your response to the writing.

read the books !
i thought they were some of the best fantasy i've read the last few years...
concerning the sexual graphic content -> didn't really notice it, but then again we're used to quite a lot aren't we...
enjoy the books, i'm already waiting for the next installment to be released...

whats wrong with sex in books? sex is a part of life.. even though tyrion is a grotesque midget, i never found it disgusting and unreadable like some people did. Martin felt it necessary to write about it in detail, and i accept it as a part of the novel..

i generally dont like violence but that doesnt mean i will skip all the war and fighting parts to avoid reading about hacked limbs.

but no one is the same i suppose. people have different levels of sqeamishness.. i just dont agree with the idea of filtering out parts of a novel..
