The nudity in the first season wasn't terribly excessive, contrary to what some reviewers griped. There were topless women in brothels and bathing scenes, but that's to be expected.

Several bare butts, but only one instance of frontal male nudity (the poor sap who tried to poison Dany and was forced to run, naked, tied to the back of a horse--we saw his swinging manly bits briefly.)
Not, y'know, that I paid attention or anything. *whistles innocently*

Things I AM looking forward to in Season 2 are nine episodes of Tyrion pwning Joffrey, Cersei, and everyone else in King's Landing, Night's Watch mis-adventures beyond the wall, and, of coure, Brienne of Tarth. :D
