"Game of Thrones author George RR Martin has discussed the possibility of including male sex scenes in future books.  Speaking at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on Monday (August 11), he said that he receives letters from fans asking him to present gay sex sequences.  &amp;quot;Most of these letters come from women. I don&amp;#039;t pretend to understand this, I merely read my emails,&amp;quot; he revealed. Martin continued to say that although he is not against the idea of including male sex scenes in his future works, it has to be right for the novels: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not going to shy away from doing it if it has to happen, but I don&amp;#039;t think you can just insert things because everyone wants to see them.&amp;quot; He added that his novels have inherent restrictions that the small screen adaptation does not: &amp;quot;In the books I have a very limited third-person viewpoint. It&amp;#039;s the way I prefer to write fiction, because it&amp;#039;s the way we all see and experience life.   &amp;quot;I put gay characters in the books but they&amp;#039;re not the viewpoint characters. A TV show doesn&amp;#039;t have that limitation.&amp;quot; Martin also admitted that some fans have guessed upcoming plot twists in his books.  Speaking at the festival, the Song of Ice and Fire author said that some viewers have correctly predicted storylines that will be featured in the future. Martin announced that he will not be writing for Game of Thrones season five and will instead focus on finishing The Winds of Winter, the sixth book in the series.
