15 Of The Hottest Sex Scenes To Ever Air On TV

 From sexy closet hookups on Grey's Anatomy, to woodland love-making on Outlander — there's no lacking in the number of ~sensual~ scenes out there.

But, there are some moments that are so hot it almost feels illegal to be watching them. Here are the 15 best sex scenes in television.

1. Outlander — Jamie and Claire's wedding night

Yes, of course Outlander is the first one on this list. Almost any sex scene between these two is gonna make you squirm, because the lighting, the passion, the sensuality, the chemistry — it's all just too much.

2. Bridgerton (Season 1) — Daphne and the Duke

Bridgerton could probably be on this list a million times for giving us some of the most tasteful sex scenes of modern TV. But "I burn for you" followed by a passionate bang has to take the cake. 

3. Bridgerton (Season 2) — Anthony and Kate

If only a man would get so hot and bothered by my ruffled gown.

4. Insecure — Daniel and Issa

Insecure has a loooot of super hot sex scenes, but the one that has always stood out to me was Issa's hookup with Daniel in his recording studio way back in Season 1.

5. Game of Thrones – Ygritte and Jon

The cave ambience alone is enough to sex up this sex scene, but it's also the fact that these two have one of the most passionate romances on the show.

6. The L Word: Generation Q — Alice, Nat, and Gigi threesome

 Fans had been waiting for this one for a while. And when it finally happened, boy did it deliver. 

7. Sex Life — Billie and Brad

Besides the, um, giant appendage shower scene, this is one of the steamiest scenes on the show. He literally pleasures her while saying "you've got 19 floors to come."

8. Orange Is the New Black — Alex and Piper

This scene is quick, too quick, but it's still steamy...literally.

9. Normal People — Marianne and Connell

Normal People is known for its artistic, consensual sex scenes, but the finale episode of Marianne and Connell rolling around on the floor is probably one of the hottest moments of them all.

10. Gossip Girl — Blair and Chuck

I honestly think this moment was so hot because the chemistry between these two goes unmatched. But also the unwillingness of them both to do it, but then giving into their animalistic instinct is...something else. Also it's in a limo.

11. The 100 — Clarke and Lexa

Even though not as much was shown as we all *cough* would have liked...this was still the culmination of over a season built up of sexual tension, and was only made hotter by their post-coitus pillow talk.

12. The Bold Type — Jane and Ryan

Kat and Adena, Richard and Sutton, Jane and Ryan — The Bold Type had a lot to offer in terms of hot pairings and steamy scenes, but I think what makes this scene stand out is it happens during the girls' trip to a sex club, so the horniness levels were already high.

13. Riverdale — Archie and Veronica

In the final episode of Season 1 of Riverdale, Archie and Veronica have this steamy sexy scene. They're both just so hot it's hard not to like it.

14. Suits — Rachel and Mike

Before she was the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle was getting down and dirty in an office storage room. After a heated argument between her character, Rachel, and Mike, the two have a passionate love-making session up against one of the shelves.

15. Jessica Jones — Jessica and Luke

You can't get much hotter than literally breaking the bed.
