To show the other side: I'm a fantasy loving geek girl and don't like Game of Thrones.
I hate the Times statement that "women could not possibly like fantasy unless a lot of graphic sex was added to it". I like fantasy but I'm really tired of all the sex scenes and the amount of breasts (and full frontal female nudity - but never full frontal male nudity) you see especially in recent American pay-tv series. I couldn't care less about the graphic sex scenes which seems to become longer and longer and more and more graphic. I'm an adult I don't need to be shown minutes of thrusting and moaning to get that they are having sex. Use the time for dialogue or whatever.
This woman shouldn't generalize for all women - and being a geek girl also doesn't automatically mean you like Game of Thrones.
