3 of the Best Sexy TV Shows for Your Viewing Pleasure

Everyone is guilty of the odd TV binge session now and then, but how often does our viewing consist of sexy TV shows? Whether you’re a Bridgerton binger, Love Island lover, or prefer something a bit raunchier, there’s no doubt that watching others on screen getting intimate can arouse our desires.

If you are searching for your next sexy TV show to snuggle down and watch, we’ve checked our watchlists for our favourite current shows for kinky viewing.

But first, why watch a sexy TV show?

Some may find the idea of watching actors get it on cringy, and might even avert their eyes or skip ahead to avoid the awkwardness. However, like any other show, ones with themes and narratives around relationships and sex can make us think about these aspects within our own lives.

For those watching with a partner, watching arousing content together such as porn can be a healthy way to open up conversations around sexual preferences and desires. Although it might seem scary to watch something so saucy with a partner the opportunity to learn more about what you both might like in the bedroom is more than worth it.

Our 3 Favourite Sexy Shows

Open House: The Great Sex Experiment

Ever thought about opening up your sexual relationship to another person – or multiple people? Open House is a fantastic Channel 4 series featuring real couples experimenting with sex with different partners, whether that be together or separately.

Why did we love it?

Unlike porn, Open House includes the full narrative of the participating couple’s relationships before, during, and after the experiment. These couples are incredibly honest about their feelings and experiences and are supported by a sex therapist throughout to help them explore their desires. When watching, the programme raises a lot of questions to these couples about sex, their relationship, and their difficulties, creating thought-provoking conversations which leave you wanting to see what happens.

Another great element of this sexy TV show we love is the breaking down of the taboos around non-monogamy. While viewing, you not only get a raw insight into those trying to open up their relationship for the first time but also the experienced non-monogamists who help the couples open up and explore.

How to Build a Sex Room

This Netflix series is one you’ve most likely heard of. How to Build a Sex Room features designer Melanie Rose as she helps various couples’ sex room dreams come true!

For those who love a good design show, How to Build a Sex Room brilliantly shows the process from start to finish with Melanie engaging with the couples to tease out their secret desires for their sex room.

Why did we love it?

With a different couple with different preferences and kinks featured each week, it’s fascinating to see how everyone has different tastes, and how these can be translated into a physical room in someone’s home. With couples of all different walks of life featured in the programme, the show is certainly eye-opening and gets you thinking about what you could implement into your own home to make it more sexually inviting.

Melanie’s electric personality mixed with the show’s plethora of interesting couples makes How to Build a Sex Room a must-watch for those who wished renovation shows were raunchier.
