Yeah, the "she wasn't knowledgeable about sex" thing is how I took it, too. I mean, it is entirely possible within Dothraki culture that she really couldn't have said no to him. And extremely likely that just about any culture she'd have knowledge of would have assumed it was her "wifely duties" not to say no (see also: Cersei and Robert). And, like, 99% certain that Dany would have internalized her brother's abuse and threats to such an extent that she felt she couldn't say no at all, ever, whether it was because she needed to secure an heir or just to keep Drogo happy.

The portrayal of a 13-year-old girl learning to love her adult husband who committed marital rape is a narrative that is understandably very, very skeevy to a lot of people, but I think it also reveals a lot of the ways that people did and still often do think about sex within marriage, as well as those boundaries of consent and agency within a situation where choices are powerfully constrained.

I think it's a scenario that would never, ever play out like that in our culture, but it's about the only choice Dany had, and I think she's very admirable for taking it and making the best of it.
