(Thank you, premium cable!)
Louis placidly thrusts half a dozen times (at least by my count) before finishing.
And with that, the pardon is granted, and Claire is so over France.
31.The Reviver
31.
So ill, in fact, that Claire is unable to find a pulse.
And that act is enough to revive him!
This is hands downOutlanders most ludicrous sex scene.
30.The Honey Pot
30.

a wax), and shows off the results to Jamie.
Your honey pot is bare!
I thought youd be intrigued, she replies.
The two begin to make love, but Jamie stops abruptly as visions of Black Jack begin to appear.
So instead, they simply go to sleep.
Its a heartbreaker of a scene, demonstrating just how broken a man Jamie has become.

I miss my husband, she purrs into his ear.
(Whether she actually means Frank and not Jamie remains to be seen.)
She proceeds to straddle him and peel off her nightgown.
27.The Long-Lost Lovers Antipathy
27.
He scoops her up and gently places her on the floor next to the warming blaze.
Look at me, Frank commands as he attempts to have sex with his wife.
Claire, open your eyes!
He stops when Claire doesnt acquiesce, accusing her of fantasizing about Jamie.
Claire, when Im with you, Im with you.
But youre with him, he says.
And with that final indignity, it seems that the doomed couples sex life is, truly, over.

Alas, their union and Ians happiness doesnt last.
23.The Maid in a Cave

Implied sex scenes are a total tease and definitely not what this list is all about.

And maybe, just maybe, that little intimacy helped him face the uncertain task before him.

After exchanging their vows, newlyweds Claire and Jamie retire to their room, both clearly nervous.
(Remember: Theyve been acquainted for mere weeks at this point.)
Perhaps we should go to bed?
To bed … or to sleep?
Jamie replies with a waggle of his eyebrows.
They tentatively start to unlace, unbutton, and untie each other (so many layers!
She rights herself, Jamie thrusts a few times, and its all over.
18.The Angels Share

Would an angel do this?
Claire responds as she straddles him and begins kissing and undressing him.
Maybe Ive died and gone to heaven, he responds.
17.The Mourners Embrace
17.
In their grief, Claire and Jamie come together, as few things are quite so life-affirming as sex.
Camped out next to a crackling fire, they take comfort in one another.
Its a sweet scene, but hardly the series steamiest four seasons on.
16.The Witchy Woman
16.
But tonight, in the untamed wilderness, he will say his good-bye.
He carefully pulls up Claires skirt, but Jamie refuses tonight is about Claires pleasure.
So he uses his skilled Scottish hands, knowing it may be their very last time together.
Jamie is nothing if not a giver.
15.The Reunion Sex
15.
But their reunion isnt exactly the stuff of legend.

Its good to have them back.
14.The Healing Touch

He presents the necklace to his new bride, placing it around her bare neck.
Its the beginning of …something.

And as the guns fire and canons blast in the distance, Claire disappears through the stones.
8.The Makeup Sex
8.
Whats the worst possible topic of conversation one could raise while on their honeymoon?
After Aunt Berthas bunion surgery, Id reckon it to be your wifes completely hypothetical infidelity.
Yet, just minutes later, they drop trou.
Sex was our bridge back to each other, Claire explains in voice-over.
And here is the series first full-blown sex scene, complete with naked bodies jauntily writhing.
Perhaps the fight was worth it after all …
7.The Hand-Fasting
7.
(As it’s possible for you to imagine, he didnt get any that night!)
Her reasoning: How could I say no to a man who pursued me for 200 years?
It feels weird comparing the two, but the young lad and lass hold their own.
(We wont get into the row that occurs right after, though.)
6.The Landlubber
6.
And then, well, he does it all with narration!
Now, I have no idea whether this is historically accurate (when was dirty talk even invented?
), but Ill take any anachronism this arousing.
5.The Unsheathed Sword
5.
And, no, were not talking BDSM here.
Claire receives multiple lashes to the bottom after wandering off from where Jamie told her to stay put.
By episodes end, the couple have reached an understanding Jamie swears to never hit Claire again.
But Claire wants to verify.
Do you understand me?
He agrees, declaring that Claire is his.
4.The Undercover Lover
4.
And at first, you may not even know what youre seeing.
It looks as though Claire is simply lying in bed sleeping.
But then she begins to stir and moan and you realize something entirely different is going on.
A knock comes at the door, but Jamie will not stop, whispering No!
And with a flourish, he finishes the job before answering the door to a sheepish Murtaugh.
3.The Phil Her Up

2.The Turtle Soup
2.
She then clumsily pushes him onto the desk.
This must be what its like making love in hell!

1.The Second Time

Where the first was hurried and fumbling, the couple take their time, prolonging the foreplay.
Jamie eventually picks Claire up and drops her onto the bed.
And this time, Claires cries of passion are so intense that Jamie worries hes hurt her.
When she climaxes, well, hes still a little confused.
Does it happen every time?
And that, dear readers, is theOutlandersex scene that will always leave us breathless.
