That was one scene I actually caught on HBO during a free preview weekend or some such. The gratuitous sex is a bit much for me too. I mean, it's in the books but it's not so overt and certainly not with the gay/lesbian stuff. I think they just had to put extra scenes in to explain things quickly, and they decided to do it with sex in the background. I didn't like that they put in scenes with Varys and Littlefinger espousing at length to one another either.
And I REALLY didn't like the first sex scene with Dany and Drogo. They had him saying "no" like he was supposed to, but they didn't let her say "yes" in the end. Instead, they made him seem like a total savage. Makes you wonder why she falls in love with him, whereas in the books it's obvious he's kind and gentle with her.
