But the show has also provoked controversy for its lack of references to contraception during sex scenes.

The Good Wife star Alan Cumming told Fern Mallis during a 92nd Street Y discussion on AIDS for Mallis’ Fashion Icons series that racy scenes should include a message of safe sex.

‘We’ve got to try and stop this cavalier attitude that it’s in the past,’ said Cumming of the AIDS epidemic.

Meanwhile, Lena got to enjoy a conversation with one of her inspirations for Girls, author Judy Blume.

The pair chatted in an interview for literary magazine, The Believer, with the full interview printed in a limited edition, 80-page book as a gift for subscribers.

Lena grew up with Judy Blume’s novels, and is said to have been inspired by the book Summer Sisters for the series Girls.

Blume is also said to admire Lena’s show and it seemed the pair had plenty to talk about, touching upon topics including writing, celebrity, sex, censorship, and favorite breakfasts.
