Last month, Pornhub proudly revealed how a large chunk of its user base searched for characters and scenes from the highly popular and uncensored nude series of Game of Thrones.
HBO clearly got wind of this, and is now trying to prevent the porn site from profiting off its sex scenes.
A spokesperson told The Sun: “HBO is aware of the issue and is in the process of getting material taken down from Pornhub.”
In one of its Insights blog, the site shared reams of data-related to the show, bragging that Game of Thrones-related searches went up 370 percent during the day of its season 6 launch.
Daenerys Targaryen is the most-searched-for character, followed by Margaery Tyrell and Shae.
Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys, recently explained how proud she is of her full nude scene, which saw her emerge unscathed from a burning Dothraki hut.
“I’d like to remind people the last time I took my clothes off was season 3,” she said in an interview with EW. “That was a while ago. It’s now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I’m just feeling genuinely happy I said ‘Yes.’ There ain’t no body double!”
She previously spoke out about the high ratio of female to male nude scenes, something Game of Thrones recently tried to remedy in a recent episode with a pretty full-frontal shot of a male actor.
