Viewers were left horrified after an explicit sex scene aired on the latest episode of the Game Of Thrones prequel, House Of The Dragon.

While fans of the HBO fantasy series are accustomed to seeing X-rated moments on the show’s original series, the spin-off has been relatively tame – until Monday’s episode when viewers were confronted with scenes of one character performing oral sex on another.

In the episode, which aired locally on BINGE, King Aegon II Targaryen (played by Tom Glynn-Carney) brought his team of soldiers to a brothel to enjoy a night out.

The arrogant leader then began ripping open curtains to expose the various activities being performed at the establishment before the cameras stopped on one woman engaged in the sex act.

While the series is known to push boundaries, fans were still caught off-guard with the graphic scene, some even wondering why the scene in question was allowed to air.

“I guess a prosthetic counts. That couldn’t have been real. Looked fake,” one tweeted, while another wrote: “Wow that was very in your face. I was expecting to see sex but didn’t count on that. The show never ceases to amaze me.”

‘Uhhhhhh that [sex act] was front and centre,” added another, while one wondered: “I’m really surprised they were able to let that on air.”

Yet another viewer weighed in on Twitter: “Wow this episode had everything! The weirdest [sex act] I’ve ever seen, the graphic depiction of a decapitated child that we were robbed of last episode, a kingsguard crappier than Bobby B’s. I could go on!”

Another surprise in the episode was the return of a young Rhaenyra Targaryen, who was played by Aussie actress Milly Alcock before Emma D’Arcy took over the role of an adult Rhaenyra in the second half of Season 1.

This week’s instalment sees Rhaenyra return for a haunting moment while Daemon (played by Matt Smith) sulks inside the eerie castle of Harrenhal, where she can be seen sewing the head of murdered heir Jaehaerys back onto his body – a boy Daemon had accidentally killed.

Alcock only has two lines in her brief cameo, but nonetheless it leaves a lasting impact.

“Always coming and going aren’t you?” she tells Daemon. “And I have to clean up afterwards.”
