Speaking of in the butt, the show makes it look like Renly is the... catcher and Sir Loras is pitching while in the books I saw it the other way around. Seems like Renly seems less... manly in the show as I thought he was more of a fighter in the books.

What I got from the scene was that Loras is the high-maint bitch. He wants Renly to be more pretty and less hairy. He wants Renly to be more king-like. He goes down on his "king-in-waiting."
Let's not forget that Loras is the "knight of flowers" and is known for flair. Renly is merely deemed handsome and charismatic.
