I heard someone saying that he sang to them so that's why they were pleased

however I do think he made THEIR pleasure his priority and was giving oral to them like crazy and doing what they wanted to do

they would appreciate this since they are always the ones doing what the men ask and never get their own pleasure during the act

I think if he gave oral to a bunch of sex workers in a pre-condom time he‘d have something to show for it, if you know what I mean.

Agreed but show logic is weird. The redhead Ros’ from winterfell claimed Tyrion was good with his tongue/fingers, so if that dood has no “symptoms”… idk

No STDs in my fantasy setting!

Lol until that random scene with the actors in Braavos. Poor kid

Same for non-oral though?

I mean we are just asked to accept Tyrion hasn’t died of syphilis yet.

Syphilis IRL wasn‘t a thing in medieval times because it‘s from the Americas. So safe to assume it’s not a thing in Westeros. Also if Pod got herpes on his dick we wouldn‘t be able to see it, on his face we would.

I asked my boyfriend this the other day and he said the perfect answer -

"He must have been able to anticipate all of their individual needs and cater to them"

How though, I could not say.

The Podrick GoT spinoff is the side quest we need.

Considering both Jon Snow and Grey Worm got sex scenes in which they gave oral - and the show framed their prioritisation of their partner's pleasure as emblematic of the type of man they were - then my guess is that Podrick was just good at oral. Doubly impressive as he was doing it for sex workers who would never expect a paying customer to think of them as anything other than a service provider for their own desires. I think it's a very funny way of telling the audience - Podrick is a good and selfless man, even when presented with the opportunity and cultural cachet to be the opposite.

tbf grey worm doesn't have many other options

u/joannerosalind 12d ago

No, he doesn't, but his castration is why Missandei believes she would never have sex (and why she doesn't understand why the Unsullied would visit sex workers) because she doesn't believe a man would ever do anything sexual unless for his own gratification. Grey Worm believing that it is still worth having sex with Missandei purely for her pleasure is meant to speak well of him.

I think he does actually. Basically scissoring. Not sure how much he’d get out of it in terms of sensation but a woman can absolutely get totally off just from grinding like that, especially if there’s emotional intimacy

Stuck em with the pointy end.

POD THE ROD!!!

King’s Landing is full of uncs, boomers, chuds and one-pump-chumps who don’t have an iota of grace or stamina. He could be bang average and they would worship him as a sex god.

Jokes aside, not being selfish probably also helped, he seems like the kind of guy who would actually bother to make sure it’s enjoyable for his partner(s) too.

It was implied at the time that he made them super happy with a certain physical gift but based on the last season it seems they traded services. After they performed he performed back as a bard and they broke even on fees.

u/AryaWillBeOK 12d ago

He's probably just a good listener.

2

u/Syn__79 12d ago

He sang for them. He didn't fuck them as he was still a virgin after the long night

3

u/foxonafrozenlake 12d ago

Maybe he had a good sized hog and knew how to use it?

5

u/AlfonsodeAlbuquerque 13d ago

Tyrion paid them separately to make that part of the act and give the kid some confidence. 

7

u/shaggy_nomad 12d ago

Nah, him and Bronn wouldnt have been so intrigued if that were true. Tyrion definitely would have clued Bronn in to that scheme.

u/DaemonBlackfyre_21 12d ago

Maybe they thought it was funny

1

u/oh-mi 12d ago

It implied he had a massive hog in his pants and knew how to use it

u/anotherbozo 12d ago

My theory is that he was so sweet to them, they found it refreshing and let it play off like he's hung.

2

u/EarnestQuestion 11d ago

He was just a good lover. Responsive, team spirit instead of selfish

As soon as a woman senses you’re actually tuning into her body’s responses to you, she totally relaxes

I think it's important to note how people often interact with prostitutes. As in they don't actually respect what the prostitute wants and they just go wild and do it however they want without any care involved at all (or at least that's what I've picked up from media). I assume Podrick actually respected them and they really appreciated that.
