33 ‘Game of Thrones’ Sex Scenes That Are as Hot as Dragon Fire

...because, spoiler alert, the two truly consummate their relationship years later. Squint and you’ll miss it, because this scene is dark (literally—although there’s brightened versions on YouTube if you’re interested). But it’s also way more consensual (and sober), making it clear that both have been waiting *a while* for this moment. And then they get married, solidifying their Targaryen-approved power couple status.

Thank the gods! After the weird, coercive interaction between Daemon and his young niece at a brothel, Rhaenyra takes out all that sexual frustration in a much more consensual, non-incesty way: with her personal guard. No surprise—he is into it.

Speaking of! The first get-together between the literal relatives is...a not great start for two people who will eventually become lovers and spouses. But! It is a lot hornier than the “ugh, let’s just get this over with” sex between Alicent and the much older Viserys. And it’s got a lot of Rhaenyra-Daemon foreshadowing...

Put this one in the “sexposition” category! The one sex scene from the HotD season 1 premiere was also the most traditionally GoT-like, with the scene hammering home (sorry) that Daemons having an affair. And also that he has performance issues when hes stressed.

Praise the GOT gods because this was the sex scene we were all waiting for!! Brienne loving Jaime was a subplot for, oh, idk, a million episodes, and right at the end of the series, they finally get it on!!! Brienne admits she’s never slept with anyone before, which makes it even more emotional. Now, if only Jaimie decided to stay with Brienne after this and not go back to Cersei. *sigh*

Any sex scene with hottie Robb Stark is going to be ~dracarys~, but combine that with his sexual chemistry with Talisa and you’ve got yourself a smokeshow.

Okay, so this isn’t a sex scene per se, but it’s so damn funny it couldn’t be left out. As a thank you for saving his life, Tyrion takes young Poddrick to the brothel to be deflowered. When he comes back, he still has his money in hand, saying the ladies wouldn’t take it because they were so happy with his, erm, performance. So ofc Bronn and Tyrion try to get deets from him on exactly what he did.

Jaime and Cersei spend most of the series trying to hide their incestual relationship from everyone (remember when they tried to kill Bran over it?!). Well, this scene is when Cersei stops giving a flying f*ck, tells her dad about it, and then goes and has sex with Jaime on top of an effing table right out in the open where anyone could walk in. When Jaimie tries to warn her about this very important fact, she straight-up tells him, “I don’t care.”

At the King’s Landing brothel, Oberyn Martell and his paramour Ellaria Sand are enjoying themselves in an orgy with Olyvar and two female prostitutes. Oberyn, bisexual icon, makes a preeeetty amazing case for “not choosing sides” and having a ton of sex.

Bronn and Mirelle (one of the ladies from Littlefinger’s brothel) are juuuust about to get it on when good ol’ Poddrick walks in and kinda ruins the party. Bronn quickly realizes he won’t be celebrating his newly bestowed knighthood how he would like after all and heads on back to protect Tyrion.

Here, Tryrion’s bae, Shae, surprises him in his room with a little visit, and even though, yes, she ends up betraying him in the end (spoiler!), this whole scene is actually kinda sweet. They’re talking about protecting Sansa, they’re bantering back and forth, and then they start to get a little physical.

Things are getting all hot and steamy between Loras Tyrell and Renly Baratheon (in a gorgeous canopy bed, no less) when Loras pumps the breaks on things because his ego’s hurt after Brienne kicked his butt in a competition to join Renly’s Kingsguard. Things only get stranger when Loras tells Renly to go consummate his marriage with Margaery (aka Loras’ sister).

When Tyrion arrives in Winterfell, he not-so-surprisingly makes his first stop the local brothel, where he hires Ros for her services (don’t forget, this is the intro to his character). Their time together is quickly interrupted by Jaime, who wants to make sure his brother is going to be at dinner. Unsurprisingly, Tyrion has a different kind of feast planned.

GoT wastes no time jumping right into the deep end of the incest pool with the Jaime/Cersei relationship when Bran Stark finds them going at it inside a tower at Winterfell at the end of episode 1. This is the first time we learn the twins are much closer than any siblings should be, and it’s the first clue that Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen are Jaime’s kids, not King Robert’s.

After her initial straight-up terrifying experiences with Drogo, Dany decides to take back some control and gets her handmaid Doreah to teach her the art of seduction. She puts her new moves into action and gets the Khal to have sex with her face-to-face. While it’s still hard at this point to forget that their relationship started with rape, this marks the beginning of their eventual love for each other.

Doreah (the aforementioned handmaid) and Dany’s creep of a brother Viserys get it on in a steamy bathtub while he gives her a history lesson about dragons in Westeros.

Before Theon became the trembling, brainwashed Reek, he was known for his many, many sexual conquests. He was a frequent customer of Ros and sneaked her into the castle for one last tryst before she left to go south to King’s Landing. While their relationship seems a little...unconventional, Theon seems genuinely sad when he later says he’s going to miss her.

In the brothel at King’s Landing, Littlefinger, aka Lord Baelish, is doing what he does best: being a total creep. He has Ros and another prostitute practice having sex in front of him and critiques their moves, sounds included, wanting them to make everything more believable. When the ladies ask him to join them, he mysteriously says he’s saving himself for someone with “impeccable bloodlines.”
