Most promiscuous character.

Which character in the series do you think is most promiscuous?

Which character do you think is the least promiscuous?

In both cases, why?

Remember, it is possible for both genders to be promiscuous.

For most promiscuous, it's a tossup between Oberyn (who fathered his first child at thirteen) and bedded everyone from the Bastard of Godsgrace to the whore Alayaya, boys and girls alike, and Robert, who fathered sixteen children to Oberyn's eight.



For least promiscuous, any eunuch (Varys has been mentioned above).

Surely Walder Frey's progeny outweigh Robert's pretty heavily?

Walder Frey has hundreds of living descendants, including bastards and grand bastards.

Most male Aegon IV, female Bellegere 'man in every port' Otherys.



Least male Sam Tarly female Ermesande Hayford.



Almost forgot the why: Aegon infamous (a Great Father of Hyrkoon would beat him if I had a name) Bellegre, man in every port.



Sam very much a virgin, Hayford very much less than 2 years old.

Promiscuous is not just a lot of sex, it's a lot of casual sex with different partners. So with that, I'm not judging by kids, I'm going with the one person who seems to be completely unfaithful, and that's Robert. Oberyn had a lot, but I get the impression he still had his main lady Elaria, so I'd rank him below Robert.

The most promiscuous is Oberyn, may be? Jaime did rate him as more promiscuous than Robert. The least one is Varys, obviously. And the majority of other eunuchs. And children. Naming the least promiscuous person is kinda useless :dunno: .

Promiscuous means being indiscriminate. The more standards you have, the less promiscuous you are.



I think Robert fits the bill here. He really, really doesn't care. Oberyn? We're relying on hearsay. Certainly, he's bisexual, but that doesn't necessarily make him want to do Anything That Moves.

Isn't promiscuous someone who has sex without distinction? Because Walder Frey has so many children due to have been married many times as he as outlived his wives. He also has a lot of bastards because he's almost 100. 100 years, and thirty children with eight wives is not that much.



Robert, otoh, was 36 years old and had 16 bastards, besides his three "legitimate" children, who could have actually be conceived by him (he slept with his wife, after all), and all of them had different mothers (except the twins).

Actually Varys doesn't seem like the best example of the least promiscuous character, given that he told Tyrion that when he was very young, he sold what parts of his body remained to him, implying that he allowed other men to take him from behind in order to get money. Eliminating eunuchs from the equation, Jaime is the obvious example out of those who have been around for a while, and likely Ned too. Even Littlefinger is a possibility here.



I tend to agree with the assessment of Robert as the most promiscuous character.
