2021 Was a Very, VERY Good Year for Sexy TV Shows

The Sex Lives of College Girls is all about exactly what you think it is: a group of college roommates navigating their newfound freedom (sexual and otherwise) after they move away from their homes and onto campus. The show was created by Mindy Kaling, so you know it’ll bring the lols.

Season 2 of Emily in Paris FINALLY dropped and it has all the hot sexual tension (and actual sex) with a chiseled Parisian chef that you could ever ask for—and so much more!

The third season of You has a lot (and I mean A LOT) going on, and that even includes a whole bunch of sexy scenes. Sure, they may involve a few murderers, but you kind of forget that part when it’s the stunning Penn Badgley and Victoria Pedretti who are on the screen.

It took a few years for the second season of The Witcher to come out, but OMG, the wait was worth it. If you like your sexy with a side of fantasy, then this is definitely the show for you. It’s packed with plenty of full-on sex scenes that leave very little to the imagination, if you know what I mean.

If you’re not familiar with Love Life, you 100,000 percent should be. It’s an anthology series that follows, you guessed it, one person’s whole love life. The new season that dropped a few months ago stars William Jackson Harper as a book editor named Marcus, and as you can probably imagine, going through someone’s love life means plenty o’ sexual encounters.

Having that super-hot and steamy ex you just so happen to have been fantasizing about pop back up in your life sounds pretty great, right? Oh, except you’re a married suburban mom now so, er, maybe not so much! But that’s the entire premise of Sex/Life, and let me tell you, it’s a good one.

Gossip Girl is back, baby! And this time, it’s on HBO, so you know what that means: even more steamy scenes. It follows a whole new group of extremely wealthy students at Constance/St. Jude’s, and although they’re not all from the Upper East Side this time, it still has all the tension and love triangles we’ve come to expect from GG.

After a public scandal, Swedish prince Wilhelm gets sent away to a fancy boarding school where he meets fellow student Simon and starts to fall for him. But when a tragic accident changes the course of Whilhelm’s life, he struggles with hiding his sexuality.

This show’s really got it all. There are class differences at a swanky private school, oodles of sexual chemistry, and, oh, a murder. The fourth season just came out this year, so if you need something lengthy to binge, this is it.

IMHO, Sex Education is one of the best shows on Netflix right now. It follows Otis, a super socially awkward, not at all sexually experienced teen whose mom just so happens to be a sex therapist. And once his classmates find that out, they start asking him for sex advice…so, naturally, he opens up his own makeshift practice in the school’s abandoned bathroom.

Struggling writer Valeria is also in the midst of a struggling marriage with her husband, Adri, who isn’t exactly supportive of her dreams. And then she meets Victor. He’s a mysterious, smoking-hot new man who not only totally gets her desire to be a writer but also has her feeling all kinds of hot and bothered.

If you somehow haven’t heard of Bridgerton, I must ask…where have you been the past few months?? This show is a sexual awakening for everyone, and the scene where Simon does some things to his bride on a ladder? I’m not about to spoil it for you, but yeah, you’ll definitely be feeling the heat after bingeing this.

Okay, so this show has technically been around since 2014. But there’s a very good reason people are continuously devoted to it, and it’s two words: JAMIE. FRASER. That man is a walking sex god, and coupled with the fact that he’s a Scottish Highlander from the 18th century? I don’t think I have to explain myself.

STREAM NOW

It’s the TV show that basically broke Netflix last summer, and based on the premise, it makes sense. Why wouldn’t you be interested in watching couples try not to have sex with each other in order to gain a cash prize? It’s both a competition and a constant question of “Will they or won’t they?” There’s always one hookup you’re bound to never see coming.

Huh. Who knew a modern take of the Angel of Hell becoming an L.A. nightclub owner and a homicide consultant would be oh so sexy? Um, apparently everybody knew that. And given the amount of times Tom Ellis is naked in Lucifer, I’d say you should learn about it too.

STREAM NOW

So technically, this is considered a teen show, according to Netflix. But in between some extremely moody adolescents and some maybe messed-up adults (I mean, really, Georgia?), there’s a tale of first love…including a very awkward first-time moment, which might make you happy about your own experience.

A 40something woman decides to pretend she’s 26, has sex with a hot tattoo artist, and somehow falls in love with the head of the publishing house she works for. Sounds juicy already, right?

Based on the novel of the same name, this show puts the drama at a Chicago ballet school at its very center. And when the students find themselves having wild and erotic sex on their dorm room beds? Consider it an added bonus.

STREAM NOW

You might not have heard of this show, but the sexy Mexican thriller quickly became a hit on Netflix when it premiered in July 2020. And with all the sex and suspense throughout, it’s no real surprise to see the show renewed for yet another season.

STREAM NOW

Sure, the plot of the show is about a fractured relationship between two best friends, but there are some very fun sex scenes throughout, which means you definitely, absolutely need to try it.
