It’s been a long and winding road when it comes to sex on our television screen. At one point, showcasing steamy scenes on TV still felt very taboo, but as audiences matured and the hunger for more sex on-screen became more common, networks like HBO, Showcase and The CW answered the call. For teens, it was shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and eventually Gossip Girl that normalized sex for a new generation, while adults enjoyed the salacious storylines of series like Sex and the City and The L Word. The Netflix era brought about a slew of shows like Sex Education, Riverdale, Skins, and so much more to honour and feed the real-world experiences of young adults looking for love (and physical connection). In the end, audiences were left with some pretty steamy scenes just begging to be played on repeat. But enough teasing! Here are just a few of television’s sexiest moments that we can’t stop thinking about.
