GAME OF THRONES' Emilia Clarke "Can't Stand" Sex Scenes

Emilia Clarke became a global sensation thanks to her work on Game of Thrones as Daenerys Targaryen, which, in the early seasons of the show, often required her to do nude scenes. But just because she did them doesn't mean she likes them, and rumor has it she hasn't appeared naked on screen in years because she told the producers she'd rather be "known for [her] acting and not [her] breasts."

In a new interview with The Daily Mail, Clarke spoke about how she can't stand sex scenes on TV:

"Sex scenes should be more subtle. I’m British, so I cringe at that sort of thing anyway — I can’t stand it...I don’t want to have sex thrown in my face and I’ve always thought the suggestion is so much more titillating than the act itself. Most sex scenes you see in films or on TV are gratuitous and they’re usually just to attract an audience. On screen, the subtler the better."

I can't say I really blame her. I'm guessing it's probably pretty easy to start feeling like she's being taken advantage of, especially with the way HBO has been taken to task in the media for not including equal amounts of male nudity when they could very easily make the decision to do that. What do you think?
