So whilst one glittery Game of Thrones climaxes with the crowning of the almighty Bob The Drag Queen, there are still a bunch of sassy kings and queens battling for power over in Westeros, with the arrival of the much-awaited Season 6 of GoT. Despite a large chunk of the cast meeting grisly ends by this point, and the abundance of tits featured over cock, there is still plenty of eye candy to keep the fantasy-hungry gay gent tuned in – not to mention a great selection of homoerotic gay pairings that have flourished thus far. Let's take a look at the best gay twosomes in everyone's favourite fantastical fuckfest.

1. Renly Baratheon and Loras Tyrell

The original and still most explicitly gay relationship in Game of Thrones, the nostalgic amongst you may shed a wee tear reminiscing over the secret love shared between these two. They bickered in bed, shaved each other's nips and shot smouldering looks at one another during jousting competitions. To be fair, Loras "The Knight of the Flowers" wasn't really fooling anyone. Too bad the Red Lady had to blast a savage shadow out of her vagina that robbed Renly of his life – isn't that just the worst way to lose a boyf?

Best Quote: Loras: "Your grace, not tonight."

2. John Snow and Sam Tarly

While many may argue that John Snow is as straight as the arrows that pierced his flesh in Season 3, we beg to differ. First of all, no self-respecting straight man has locks that luscious. Plus, he insists on staying in the freezing cold, God-awful Castle Black with a bunch of rugged, randy men, rather than running away. And his adorable 'bromance' with Sam – the big friendly bear – is definitely more than a little gay, as the saxtastic video above proves.

Best Quote: Sam: "I like girls just as much as you do."

3. Theon Greyjoy & Ramsay Bolton

OK, maybe not the most functional of relationships, these two, but you can't deny the extreme sexual tension. The long, drawn-out torture depicted between these lads may just be the most outlandish sub/dom relationship shown on mainstream TV. The way Ramsay chomps down on a sausage shortly after castrating his subject is deliciously horrible, and the chains and whips are undeniably reminiscent of an underground fetish club. The only things missing are Theon's gimp mask and Ramsay's assless chaps.

Best Quote: Ramsay: "You're not a lord, are you? You're just meat. Stinking meat."

4. Tyrion Lannister & Varys

This quintessential odd couple give the queens from Vicious a run for their money. While this definitely isn't a sexual relationship – Varys is lacking some important parts in that department – they're the sassiest pairing around. When these two come together, shade is thrown everywhere, and plotting, back-handed compliments and bitchy comments are rife. When the Song of Fire & Ice is over, it might just be Varys atop the Iron Throne, with Tyrion sat comfortably on his lap – wine in hand.

Best Quote: Varys: "Power is a curious thing, my Lord."

5. Oberyn Martell & EVERYTHING

AKA "The Red Viper", Oberyn probably fucked the term "polyamorous" into existence. The sultry Dornishman seems at risk of penetrating everything, with his husky voice and penchant for orgies. He's also a badass warrior prince as well as a bisexual sex-beast, thus rendering him the ultimate in Game of Thrones hotness.

Best Quote: Oberyn: "When it comes to love, I don't choose sides."
