The fact that other shows don't depict sex really isn't relevant. If you choose not to depict something in your show, then the assumption is that it works much the same as it does in our world. If Lion King had been about actual Lions then yeah, we would have assumed the scenario you describe. In reality it's about anthropomorphized Lions with romance included, so the assumption is that their sex lives work about like ours do.
It's no different with GoT. They use sex and violence to tell us that life is cheap in this world, and that you can pretty much get away with anything so long as you have the physical or political power to back it up. Hell, the show itself even has characters make those exact points explicitly to one another.
You may not like it, but that remains the fact whether you like it or not.
