Almost every episode of Outlandercomes with a handy Outlander sex scene for you to sweat over (YAY!), but nothing beats Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie's (Sam Heugen) wedding night—an epic display of intimacy that took almost half the season to get to. "Caitriona and I had already filmed a scene from episode 10," Heugen saidof the scene. "When we were filming, we shot two episodes ahead so we did a scene after [the wedding]—a big breakup. It was very physical and lustful. To do this somehow felt easier, but more intimate because this was more about discovering each other. Yeah, we were both slightly nervous, which I think helps. In the scene, it's part of them finding each other. We worked it out in rehearsals what we wanted the viewer to see and not see and how we wanted it to be portrayed. Again, we don't want [the sex] to be gratuitous but it's very important for the characters and what happens to their relationship." 'Sons of Anarchy' Lord have mercy if you have yet to see the Regency-era hit Bridgerton.My loins doth quake. This absolutely hotshow centers around the dirty things we all love best: Super privileged b*llshit gossip, amazing corsets, and hot people.

Finally, in 2011, former movie executive and Variety editor-in-chief Peter Bart released a memoir entitled Infamous Players, in which he says that he was on the set and saw the much-ballyhooed scene being filmed. He wrote, "It was clear to me they were no longer simply acting. They were (having sex) on camera." Ita [O'Brien, the show's sex coordinator] would make sure Paul [Mescal] and I would discuss the boundaries and what we were and weren't comfortable with," Daisy Edgar-Jones, who plays Marianne, explained in an interview with The Sun. "We also agreed on touch and would say, 'this area is fine but please stay off this area,' or, 'I don’t feel comfortable with this.'” 'Weeds' Shamelesshas given the world a lot (like, a lot) of amazing sex scenes over the years, but Season 1's kitchen sex scene between Fiona and Jimmy will always be iconic. Emmy Rossum, who played Fiona Gallagher for the show's first nine seasons, also happens to think the scene is important for showing a side of sex not often presented on screen.And sometimes, they involved stars you wouldn't have expected to be involved. Let's just say the Big Friendly Giant is even friendlier than we thought. Buffy and Spike's relationship is one of the most controversial on the series (and in mainstream television history, for that matter). It was doomed from the start and culminated in a hard-to-watch scene of sexual assault that, for many, tainted the entire coupling. And yet...Buffy and Spike's first "love" scene deserves inclusion on this list for its graphic depiction of sex that served a purpose other than romance for the show's female lead, which was actually pretty subversive in the early aughts. In the scene, described by some as sadomasochistic, Buffy and Spike literally destroy an abandoned building while doing the deed. A movie that centres on people attending an artistic/sexual salon was a likely contender to feature unsimulated sex and Shortbus does, but director John Cameron Mitchell had a reason for including it.

The New Popedefinitely brought a new—or at least more literal—meaning to to the term "phone sex" with a scene starring Cécile de France. In spite of its religious themes, the show pushes all kinds of boundaries, especially when it comes to nudity and sexuality.

Before Robert Pattinson noticed how characters he played always masturbated in movies, he actually masturbated for real in Little Ashes, where he played Salvador Dalí. According to Pattinson, he had to do it for real as it wouldn't have looked authentic otherwise. The experimental movie is about a motorcycle racer (Gallo) who is haunted by tragic memories of a former girlfriend (Sevigny), but it's most known for that scene and its reception at the Cannes Film festival (more on that later).
