IT MAY be cold outside but it’s been a scorcher of a year for sex on the small screen.
From Workin’ Moms’ hilarious recreation of uninspiring marital sex to lustful lesbians getting it on in vampire drama First Kill, 2022 has been one hell of a bonkfest.
The second series of Bridgerton brought plenty of sexy scenes… as expected!
But which scenes got you hottest under the collar?
Here, Sun Sexpert Georgette Culley looks back at this year’s sauciest telly and rates them out of five.
The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (Netflix)
Despite receiving mixed reviews, this miniseries left viewers not knowing where to look.
The dark comedy features heartbroken Anna (Kristen Bell) who lustfully watches her handsome neighbour Neil (Tom Riley) until she witnesses a gruesome murder.
Kristen Bell sizzled in The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window
The dark-humoured show has a voyeur aspect and episode five’s sex montage ranks up there among the streaming giant’s hottest sex scenes of the year.
Spice rating: 5
Conversations with Friends (BBC Three)
If you loved the messy and raw sex in Normal People, then Conversations with Friends will be right up your street.
The mini-series follows two exes (who are also best mates) who become romantically involved with an older, married couple.
In true Sally-Rooney style, the relationships are complicated – in and out of the bedroom – ramping up the sexual tension between the characters.
What’s more, there are over ten super steamy and beautifully-lit sex scenes.
Spice rating: 3
Workin’ Moms (Netflix)
Hilariously following the lives of busy mothers as they juggle work, parenting and relationships, this series is a warts-and-all experience which covers most sexual scenarios parents face.
These range from an uninspiring martial bonk where Kate Foster (Catherine Reitman) scrolls through her phone as her husband climaxes to hot steamy romps with strangers.
Season six stays true to its predecessors and a shock sex scene involving an intravaginal ultrasound probe will certainly stick in the mind.
Spice rating: 3
First Kill (Netflix)
This supernatural teen drama is like Twilight with lesbians.
Netflix has tapped into the ever-popular genre by making what is essentially a same-sex retelling of Romeo and Juliet.
Instead of the Capulets and Montagues, the star-crossed lovers are a vampire and vampire hunter.
From the get-go the sexual tension is boiling over, leading to plenty of dangerous liaisons that draw a lot more than blood.
Spice rating: 4
And Just Like That… (Amazon Prime)
The spin-off series to the 90s classic Sex and the City follows Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as they try and navigate their way through their 50s.
Sadly, there’s no Samantha (Kim Cattrall) which means it’s more sexless in the city for the first couple of episodes.
But things heat up half way in when Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) has drunken, spontaneous sex in the kitchen after downing several shots.
Spice rating: 2
Elite (Netflix)
Elite’s steamy scenes aren’t ones to be watched with the parents
This coming-of-age drama didn’t disappoint when it bonked back for a fifth season in 2022.
The Spanish-language series centres around three working-class students who won scholarships to attend a high society school.
As well as excelling academically, the trio and their entourages get up to their fair share of illicit encounters.
Standout scenes include limo sex, boat sex, bathtub sex, pool sex, and an orgy. Not one to watch with the parents…
Spice rating: 5
Toy Boy (Netflix)
Season two centres on the aftermath of an explosion at strip club Inferno – where Hugo (Jesús Mosquera) and his companions hoped to make their fortune.
The group think that someone like rival Marbella club One Per Cent is behind the attack.
They start dancing there, eager to discover the truth. But its owners are not willing to let anyone uncover its secrets.
Wild parties, stripteases, sex and seduction follow in this drama series which never has a dull moment.

How to Build a Sex Room (Netflix)
Think Changing Rooms meets Sex Education, this part home makeover/ part sex tutorial is a must-watch.
Designer Melanie Rose goes to different couples’ homes and creates sex rooms for them based on their deepest desires and kinks.
Not only is it a fascinating watch, but there’s loads of useful information for those looking to spice things up between the sheets or channel their inner Christian Grey and build a red room of your own…
Spice rating: 4
Vikings: Valhalla (Netflix)
Vikings: Valhalla showed a lot of powerful characters having equally powerful sex
Pretty much every guy looks like superhero Thor, there are accents on accents, and a lot of powerful characters go on to have really powerful sex with each other.
What makes the sex even better (outside of the good looks and accents, of course) is the fact that the scenes and pairings are all built on mutual respect, so you don’t feel icky watching the characters get it on.
Also, the story is super interesting, so you’ll be hooked on multiple levels. Who knew Vikings were so hot?
Spice rating: 4
Bridgerton (Netflix)
Lingering glances, ample bosoms and sexy whispers – it can only be Bridgerton.
While season one was a comedy bonkfest, the latest season has more lust than thrust and no one actually does the deed until the end of episode seven. Yes, really!
But there’s still plenty of almost-kisses and sexy scenes in this hot period drama.
This time, the show is all about the eldest Bridgerton brother, Anthony, who is looking to “wed, bed, and bred” — as another young bachelor so eloquently puts it.
Spice rating: 3
Dark Desire (Netflix)
Dark Desire erotic thrills and spills will make you blush
At the start of the year, the final season dropped and we can confirm it’s just as sexy and dramatic as season one.
Few shows know what it takes to make a hook-up as erotic as the ones on this Spanish-language romantic drama.
Between Alma’s many affairs, her husband’s infidelity, and her daughter’s blossoming love life, the thriller is action-packed in more ways than one.
There are a lot of twists and turns, but there’s even more sex – including one graphic “take me now against the table” scene which is sure to make you blush.
Spice rating: 4
Too Hot to Handle (Netflix)
When Too Hot To Handle first hit the screens in 2020, it made Love Island look like Downton Abbey and season three doesn’t disappoint.
The American-British dating show follows sexy singles on a paradise island who are forbidden from having sex.
Every time they give into temptation, thousands are wiped off the cash prize.
Saucy shower sex, couples getting handsy under the covers and a lesbian romp are just some of the highlights from the latest season.
