Just to be clear, I think *some* changes make sense, I just think the sex angle HBO is bringing to the table is overly amped up, and frankly distracting from the story line. It also makes certain characters too weak willed. The books had sex and sexuality as a significant theme. Bastards and adultry are major plot drivers, but it's been taken too far where these characters can't think beyond 1 foot in front of their wangs. It basically casts a totally different tint over the story.
And I'll admit, that originally I liked the idea of using whores as a device to divulge inner dialogue. I'm not sure it serves the characters themselves though, and instead, once again becomes distracting.
