If you've already made your way through our list of Netflix's sexiest movies – which includes everything from Fifty Shades of Grey and 365 Days to Lady Chatterly's Lover and Lust, Caution – or titillating TV shows are simply more your thing, we've got you covered. (Again).
When it comes to sexy TV, Netflix has something for pretty much everyone. Looking for a slow-burning period drama? Bridgerton is calling your name. If it's an erotic thriller you're after, check out Dark Desire. Want something sexy but funny and light-hearted all at the same time? Valeria might be the show for you.
We'll admit, some of the shows on this list are definitely better quality than others. But sometimes we're just looking for a steamy ride, so to speak – and that's okay too!
With that being said, here are some of the sexiest shows you can stream right now on Netflix.
It's a Sin
It's a Sin was the breakout show of 2021, receiving a huge amount of critical acclaim for its unflinching portrayal of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s.
While some might not think it belongs on this list due the utter heartbreak it inflicted on us all, its portrayal of gay sex was groundbreaking, joyous, and sexy. So for this, we think it does belong.
Discussing the importance of the show's sex scenes after its release, Digital Spy wrote: "It's a Sin excels at celebrating the euphoric bliss of sex, whether it's one-on-one with a partner or just the latest in a string of joyful hook-ups with multiple partners at once. Sex is fun, and it's vital we always remember that, even in the wider context of this story".
(Also, we know it's a Channel 4 original, but it's now available to watch on Netflix so it counts.)
Bridgerton
Based on Julia Quinn's book series, Bridgerton follows eight close-knit siblings as they attempt to find love in London's high society. (It's not as PG as it might sound, promise).
The sexual tension between the Bridgertons and their respective love interests permeates through the grazing of fingertips, longing looks and, in Anthony's case, a good ol' whiff (if you know, you know), but this Regency series isn't afraid to crank the heat up even higher.
Sex is a central theme in season one, which features an incredibly steamy sex montage to an orchestral cover of Taylor Swift's 'Wildest Dreams' (what's not to love?) and a female masturbation scene that, in our opinion, puts other period dramas to shame.
Season two might have fewer sex scenes, but one particular garden romp manages to exceed expectations with its accurate depiction of female pleasure – and what's more sexy than that?
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
Netflix expanded the Bridgerton universe – the Bridgerverse, if you will – earlier this year with its equally raunchy spin-off Queen Charlotte.
The series follows the life of a young Charlotte as her rise to power and marriage to King George spark both a great love story and a societal shift in the Ton.
Not only is the sexual chemistry between Charlotte and George off the charts, but the show also enriches the Bridgerverse with the debut of its first queer love story.
Sex/Life
Inspired by BB Easton's memoir 44 Chapters About 4 Men, Sex/Life follows suburban housewife Billie, who is torn between the love she has for her husband and the more thrilling, satisfying sex life she has with her ex-boyfriend, Brad.
To be fair, Brad's full-frontal shower reveal in season one practically broke the internet, so much so that it had viewers questioning its authenticity.
But just when you thought things couldn't get any wilder than Brad's third leg, one particular scene from season two somehow manages to top it.
Obsession
Based on Josephine Hart's 1991 erotic novella Damage – the Fifty Shades of Grey-style hit of its day – Obsession centres around a dangerous love triangle that emerges when Anna Barton embarks on a passionate affair with her fiancé's father, William.
There's sex, nudity and some Japanese silk ties that make reference to the pair's BDSM relationship.
Fake Profile
Erotic drama Fake Profile follows a woman named Camila as she embarks on a dreamy romance with a man named Fernando, who she meets on a dating app.
Turns out, though, he's not entirely what he seems.
Fake Profile is chock-full of shady schemes, secrets and enough steamy scenes to get anyone hot under the collar.
Dark Desire
In Dark Desire, married woman Alma spends a fateful weekend away from home that ignites passion, ends in tragedy and leads her to question the truth about those close to her.
There are plenty of thrilling twists and turns in this Mexican telenovela, but, most importantly, there's even more sex. Like, a lot of sex.
Fatal Seduction
Fatal Seduction is a South African remake of Dark Desire, so the storyline is pretty much the same – and it's just as erotic.
It's just up to you which one you'd prefer to watch. Or you can watch both. Whatever takes your fancy.
Gypsy
Directed by Fifty Shades of Grey's Sam Taylor-Johnson, psychosexual drama Gypsy stars Naomi Watts as Jean Holloway, a voyeuristic therapist who develops dangerous and intimate relationships with the people in her patients' lives.
The show's writer, Lisa Rubin, gained a reputation for writing good sex scenes while she was a film student (via Vanity Fair). 'Nuff said.
Valeria
Valeria, dubbed by fans as the Spanish version of Sex and the City, follows the title character as she confides in her three best friends – Lola, Carmen, and Nerea – while dealing with writer's block and an unfulfilling marriage.
When she meets Victor, however, Valeria's passion and creativity are soon unlocked.
Meanwhile, Lola embarks on a steamy affair with a married man, Carmen crushes hard on her colleague and Nerea struggles to come out to her parents.
Easy
Created by Joe Swanberg, Easy is probably one of Netflix's most underrated gems.
The star-studded anthology series explores the modern maze of love and sex through a spate of different perspectives.
Scenarios include, but are not limited to, a couple looking to spice up their sex life by exploring an open marriage, a man researching his role as a submissive at a BDSM party, and Orlando Bloom having a threesome.
Aubrey Plaza, Jake Johnson, Emily Ratajowski, Melanie Lynskey, Judy Greer and many more stars also make an appearance.
Élite
Élite has been titillating fans with its look into the scandalous lives of Las Encinas' rich and powerful students for seven seasons now – with an eighth and final season now confirmed.
It's high drama, soapy, salacious and a touch ridiculous at times, but if it's sexy TV shows you're looking for, then this one is absolutely worth a watch.
