House of the Dragon viewers shocked by incestuous romp dubbed ‘most uncomfortable sex scene EVER’
HOUSE of the Dragon viewers have been left shocked by an incestuous romp dubbed the ‘most uncomfortable sex scene EVER’.
The HBO series is a prequel to Game of Thrones, which featured its own incest storyline between twins Cersei and Jaime Lannister.
However, the fact fans of the two shows have seen such scenes before didn’t stop them from being shocked by the latest antics.
The episode saw Matt Smith’s Daemon Targaryen return to Westeros after defeating the Crabfeeder, complete with a new haircut.
Meanwhile the next heir Rhaenyra Targaryen (Millie Alcock) was seen sneaking out of the palace at night to join a cloaked figure.
Sure enough, it turned out to be her uncle Daemon, and the pair made their way around King’s Landing hand in hand, stealing food before ending up at Daemon’s favourite brothel.

Once inside, the sexual tension that has been building between them reaches a climax and the pair kiss.
Despite being uncle and niece, they take each other’s clothes off but as Rhaenyra stands with her trousers around her ankles, Daemon suddenly stops and can’t bring himself to go through with it.
While the couple didn’t end up having sex, it still provoked a strong reaction from House of the Dragon fans on Twitter.
One wrote: “Okay u house of the dragon ppl go waaaay too hard for incest.”

Another added: “Ok House of the Dragon tonight’s episode was wild and gross. How old is Rhaenyra Targaryen character suppose to be? And stop with the incest c**p please.”
A third tweeted: “The transition & mixture between the scenes of Rhaenyra/Daemon & Viserys/Alicent is making me VERY uncomfortable. I hate this very much.”
While a fourth asked: “Was it just me or this episode was awkwardly uncomfortable.”
House of the Dragon airs tonight at 9pm on Sky Atlantic and is also available on NOW.
