Everyone's freaking out about THAT sex scene in the American Gods premiere

Get ready to welcome a new TV show into your hearts because American Gods premiered a couple of days ago, and it's been met with a resounding thumbs up from fans of the book and newbies alike. Based on Neil Gaiman's fantasy novel about a battle between the old gods and the new, Hannibal's Bryan Fuller has turned it into a series which looks set to be the next big thing.

While much praise was heaped on the stylistic look of the show, as well as the Game of Thrones-worthy blood and violence, there's one scene in particular that's got everyone talking. Now, you might be thinking, 'Of course it's the sex scene', but stay with me because it's not for the reasons you might think. 

If you haven't seen the first episode yet (you can read our spoiler-free reaction to the first episode here), go and watch it now and come back because I'm going to be entering minor spoiler territory... now!

If you've seen the episode you know the scene I'm talking about. Goddess Bilquis, AKA the Queen of Sheba, played by the incredible Yetide Badaki, literally sucks a whole man into her vagina. Yes, they're having sex and then he disappears inside her. It's an unbelievable scene to watch and one which is fairly ground-breaking when you think about how many sex scenes feature the woman in the more submissive role. If anything, Bilquis' scene screams POWER. 

Naturally, it's all everyone's been talking about since...
