40 Sexiest Netflix Shows You'll Want to Watch with the Lights Off
There's sexy, and then there's Netflix original sexy.
If you're not masturbating to at least one Netflix show, you're not watching enough television. Maybe you prefer to spend your time unwinding with the best sitcoms on Netflix or British crime dramas on Netflix—both valid choices for your nights in—but why limit yourself when some of the sexiest TV shows of all time are on Netflix? Not only that, but some of the hottest shows you can watch are Netflix originals. Don't believe me? Allow me to prove it by introducing you to the 40 sexiest Netflix shows you can stream right now.
From scandalous period dramas like Bridgerton (we miss you, Duke Simon Basset) to steamy science-fiction like The Witcher (we'll miss you too, Henry Cavill), the sexiest Netflix original shows all cater to different tastes and levels of horniness. Some shows are more suggestive, others more explicit, but they all have two things in common: they're sexy, and you gotta invest in a Netflix subscription if you want to enjoy 'em. But don't let that scare you off. Once you see the shows on this list of sexiest Netflix shows, I think you'll agree they're worth the price.
Bridgerton
R-rated romance has never felt as regal as it does in Bridgerton, the show that follows the love stories of the Bridgerton family, as well as their sexual awakenings. Four words: Season 1, Episode 6. You're welcome.
Sex/Life
Whether you liked it or not, you have to admit that Sex/Life earned its title. The show is about a woman, Billie (Sarah Shahi), realizing that there's something missing from her life as a wife and mother to two young children. And, yes, that something is sex.
You
To be clear, stalking is only sexy on screen. And even then, You's serial stalker and killer protagonist, Joe (Penn Badgley), is pushing it. Is it disturbing? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it, too.
Elite
Elite is about a group of scholarship kids who transfer to an elite private school where they're immediately surrounded by rich kids who love nothing more than partying and sex. Spanish high schools are apparently very, very different from mine.
Sex Education
Another high school show, Sex Education takes a much more earnest and awkward look at the sex lives of its teenage protagonists than Elite. I wouldn't say it's romance novel sexy, but it is a whole show about, well, sex.
Obsession
When William (Richard Armitage) starts an affair with his son's fiancée Anna (Charlie Murphy), she sets clear rules and boundaries for their relationship. But as they continue to sneak around, things only get more complicated. It isn't long before everything spirals out of control.
The Witcher
Does sword fighting turn you on? What about a man who communicates mainly via grunts? And a man who enjoys taking steaming hot baths after a long day of monster hunting? If you answered yes to any of these questions, The Witcher should be next on your list. Not only is Henry Cavill very hot in it, but he has some hot scenes in it, too!
Orange Is the New Black
Over the course of Orange is the New Black's seven-season run, many debated whether or not it was a drama or a comedy. What was never in question? How sexy the show is.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story took everything you loved about Bridgerton (the costumes, the period, the orchestral pop covers, the sex) and added in even more royal drama, focusing on the whirlwind romance between Queen Charlotte and her new husband, a young King George.
Fatal Seduction
Nandi (Kgomotso Christopher) gets more than she bargains for when she falls in lust with a man who isn't her husband, setting in motion a chain of events that ends in tragedy.
The Empress
German drama The Empress is a fictionalized retelling of the life of Elisabeth, the Empress of Austria, who ruled in the late 1800s. Come for a historical drama, stay to find out how the hell they had sex in those outfits!
Survival of the Thickest
A lot of sexy Netflix shows are on the darker side, but not Survival of the Thickest, a joyful show about Mavis (Michelle Buteau), a woman who goes on a journey of self-discovery after a sudden breakup.
Fishbowl Wives
Based on a manga series, Fishbowl Wives follows six different women as they make the decision to cheat on their significant others, and how they handle the aftermath of their infidelity. It's a sexy and soapy limited series, perfect for a rainy day marathon.
Lady Voyeur
Lady Voyeur is a Brazilian thriller about a hacker who likes to spend her downtime spying on the sex worker across the street, but when she decides to become a more active participant, she finds herself in the middle of a dangerous investigation.
What/If
Would you trade a night with your husband for your own success? What if that woman you're offering your husband to is Renée Zellwegger? This campy soap answers that question, and much, much more.
She's Gotta Have It
Based on Spike Lee's 1986 film, Netflix's She's Gotta Have It reimagines the life of Nola Darling (DeWanda Wise), an artist living in NYC and navigating a complex polyamorous dating world with three main partners.
Diary of a Gigolo
A gigolo finds himself in the middle of a murder mystery after—gasp—falling in love with a client!
Tiny Pretty Things
When a popular ballerina dies after a mysterious fall off the roof of her elite dance school, a new student is recruited to take her place. But she'll have to do more than dance if she wants to escape the twisted (and, yes, kinda hot) world of the school.
Peaky Blinders
Aside from having a reputation of being great television, Peaky Blinders is probably best recognized as a violent gangster show. In other words, it's not your typical sexy show. That is, of course, until you realize that it stars Cillian Murphy in a perfectly tailored 1900s suit. If that's not sexy, I don't know what is.
Sense8
People from all over the world discover that they are connected through a mental link which allows them to draw on each other's skills and knowledge, and even lets them experience what each other is experiencing in the moment, including sexual pleasure.
