7 Steamy Sex Scenes On TV Which Will Get Your Heart Racing

These on-screen couples are responsible for the soaring temperature even in winter.

Outlander

Some might raise eyebrows, and some are downright scandalous but there is no denying that these sex scenes are sure to get the ratings and temperatures to soar to a new level. From tearing the corsets in the regency era to a sensuous tumble in the 1700s Scottish highlands, the networks have brought us countless sexy times in some of the most popular shows throughout the years. There were times when shows were heavily suggestive but censored to keep things modest, and at times shows were even banned for being too risqué. But with the trending arrival of intimacy coordinators who are responsible for making the actors feel safe and comfortable during the intimate scenes, the shows are experimenting with more bedroom action. So, right here, we have a list of some of the steamiest sex scenes from television that you absolutely cannot miss.

Kate and Anthony (Bridgerton)

Bridgerton Season 2 was a breath of fresh air for regency romance lovers as the rivals-turned-lovers trope was loved by millions of viewers worldwide. The sexual tension between Kate Sharma and Anthony Bridgerton blossomed into a marriage but not before they made some love to each other out in the garden.

Billie and Brad (Sex/Life)

This Netflix show might not have wowed the fans in the department of storytelling, but it will surely get remembered for its titillating sex scenes. Sarah Shahi plays a suburban mother whose lust-filled past collides with her present as she comes face to face with Brad. 

Marianne and Connell (Normal People)

Normal People is a poignant story of two individuals exploring love, lust, and emotions through their last days of high school and their years as undergraduates. Marianne and Connell might be each other’s soulmates, but they are too confused to admit it and make their romance official. Instead, they keep running in circles around sex and estrangement.

Betty and Archie (Riverdale)

Fans wonder where exactly the plot of Riverdale is heading since it’s a mix of multiple genres and bizarre plot twists but no one is complaining about the hot moment between Betty and Archie under the shower in season 5. We hope Betty and Archie end up together by the end of the series.

Jamie and Claire (Outlander)

When Outlander aired first in 2014, the show made people gasp with its myriad of sex scenes which were tastefully shot and it sort of set a standard for the shows that followed. People still can’t get enough of Jamie and Claire’s wedding night and it’s pretty evident that countless fans might have replayed that one particular episode.

Nancy and Ace (Nancy Drew)

Nancy and Ace's shippers had to wait for an excruciating three seasons until the finale, to finally watch them consummate their relationship. They admitted their feelings and we hope the fourth and the final season will make room for their relationship to grow.

Rose and Dimitri ( Vampire Academy )

Who doesn’t love forbidden relationships in fiction? Rose is training to be a protector of her royal best friend and Dimitri is the one responsible for teaching her how to survive in combat with the undead. So far the duo hasn’t hopped in the bed together but they surely shared a couple of steamy kisses which gives the fans some hope for their relationship in the future, though they might have to face numerous obstacles.
