A Game of Thrones was the first fantasy book that my fiance has ever been able to get all the way through, and she loved it. She's currently reading A Clash of Kings.
To say women only read fantasy if it involves graphic sex has got to be one of the most off base comments I've heard in a long time. Most women fantasy readers out there that I know read it for the same reasons (escape, intrigue, adventure, I could go on and on) that most of the men red it. Those reasons transcend any gender boundaries that this author is imagining. Sure, there are women out there that only enjoy fantasy novels if they involve graphic sex, but they are FAR from the majority.
