Seeing that this game is set in the world created by George RR Martin, and that his books gives a gritty and accurate depiction of subjects such as sex and violence during the middle ages, we will not disallow characters to engage in such activities. We will have a few rules that players are required to abide by, however:
Players must be 18 Just like movies in the US might get a NC-17 rating, this game may contain material that would put it there.
No Graphic Descriptions Take that sort of thing elsewhere, you are free to let your PC's do anything you feel they would do given the circumstances, but I have no interest in reading the details of what a character like Gregor Clegane does for fun. As a general rule, write enough to make it clear about what happens, but then have the scene fade to black.
Consent is required Anything involving another PC that would push the player out of his comfort zone is not allowed under any circumstances, you must always obtain explicit permission before advancing a scene in a direction which potentially may lead to that.
Apply common sense We're supposed to be adults and know the boundaries without the need for rules, but just in case, here they are.
It should be noted that in a feudal world like this, and this is very much something that GRRM does not hesitate to portray, the average character is probably a great deal nastier towards those he does not count as family, friends or allies, given the chance. It is perfectly acceptable to play a nobleman who absolutely would force a comely peasant girl into his bed, ride down a boy that didn't move out of the way fast enough or any number of other unpleasantness without second thought. In fact, this sort of behavior is often something a noble can get away with. Your character may be as heinous as you like, and every single NPC is fair game for just about anything, but some things should happen off-screen and some things should not be done to other PC's unless their players are fine with it. There will be other NPC's doing such things against other NPC's, and they may very well get away with it. Just note that while most of the NPC's won't care about dirty peasants (up to a point, that is), it is likely that a much larger proportion among the PC's will react negatively to such bad behavior.
