The naked hypocrisy of Game Of Thrones’ nudity

It has always seemed to me to be more hypocritical to insinuate nudity while hiding bodies, instead of being straightforward about showing it.

Hint #1: all people are nude under their clothes, and we don’t really need to be so concerned about the times when those clothes are off. Hint #2: men like to look at naked women, and its not a character flaw. Presumably, if the country wasn’t so unrelentingly prudish about bodily functions, nudity would cease to be remarkable. Hint #3: women like to look at men too.

In the fantasy world of GOT, we accept flying dragons and torture and murder as part of the narrative. Is nudity really all that remarkable?
