We don't really know exactly why he couldn't do it with Rhaenyra, it may have been that he felt guilt about what he was trying to do (create a scandal so no one else would want to marry her) or because he wasn't in control, or some other reason. It's ambiguous and left up to the viewer.

Ah! I see. Interesting characterization for him. Will keep in mind.

In the behind the episode they said that he both didn’t think she would be into it and also knew what he was doing was wrong so he couldn’t get it up.

@Rinne ah that's a good point, i'd forgotten that detail, only thing that clashes with that so far is that he didn't (couldn't?) go further with Rhaenyra while in the brothel. He didn't seem to like that she was so into it, same with this episode, his face looked kinda shocked when Rhaenyra was getting all hot and bothered.

Daemon only likes people related to him. That's his fetish. Others are not good enough. The sex worker in the first episode even asked him if he wants her to bring him a woman with white hair. Also the reason he hated the woman he was married to I assume.

Matt Smith successfully making child grooming charming lol. First Rhaenera now her cousin.
Ok but really Daemon might have some weird control fetish going on cuz seeing him hit on that Valeryon girl at the dance was weird, another child easy to manipulate, and then he seems to not like when a woman takes charge of the relationship i wonder if that's why he can't get off.
