Sexual Scripts
"sexual Scripts most often revolve around the initiation and acceptance or refusal of sexual advances"(sex 1).In Game of Thrones the relationship between Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo goes from one script to another on a daily basis. When the arranged marriage first happens, Daenerys wants nothing to do with Khal. She speaks very strongly on how much she despises him and how she will never make love to this monster. Part of their agreement is she will bear his children, which she does not want to do.
As they disclose more to each other she slowly becomes more accepting of him. They transform from an artificial almost slave like relationship, to a real love for each other as she becomes more accepting of their sexual relationship. The relationship of Daenerys and Khal rewrote their sexual script from refusal to accepting.

Sexual Attitudes: Recreational
In the Seven Kingdoms, sex is a common practice. This is the age of prostitutes and as much casual sex as you can imagine. "Researchers have identified three types of sexual attitudes held by people today....Still others have a recreational orientation, viewing sex as a primary source of fun, escape, excitement, or pleasure...The recreational orientation is a sexually liberal view holding that sex is appropriate between consenting adults".(sex 2) One example of a recreational sex relationship is that of Cersei and Jamie Lannister. They are very close and if anyone were to find out about their sexual relationship they would be in a significant amount of trouble. But they choose to have sex whenever they can without participating in any form of relationship. Even though they are around each other all the time they just want to have sex. They view their practices as totally okay, and they will continue to have sex until someone catches them.
