This isn’t just TV, it’s an emotional, thirst-filled rollercoaster, and we’ve got the saucy play-by-play you didn’t know you needed. By the end of this list of the sexiest scenes in The Girlfriend, you’ll need a naked dip in that pool too. It’s far raunchier than the hottest scenes in The Summer I Turned Pretty but with less scissoring than The Hunting Wives.
The Sexiest Scenes in The Girlfriend, Ranked
12. Oedipus And The Sexts (Episode 4)
Post-head injury, Daniel has been whisked off to a villa in Spain, and Laura is still firmly trying to rid his life of Cherry—she even tried to pimp him out to his hot physio. She thinks she’s been successful until she sees the messages he sends Cherry (she basically hacked her). They’re naughty messages…including an…eggplant pic, iykyk. Yep, mama bear is looking at his…eggplant. Weird, to say the least. Then it gets crazier as her hubby starts initiating sex and going down on her, but she has that pic in her hand and….it’s just a lot. Bottom of this list, not hot.
11. Culty Vibes Dance Party (Episode 2)
Laura and Cherry are in a truce—at least for now!! Everyone’s drinking, celebrating, and vibing poolside. Cherry and Daniel share a kiss, and then…he’s dancing with his mom. And they kind of kiss. Look, it’s low-key weird. Like, unsettling weird. Honestly? This whole vibe gave cult energy, and I don’t know how I feel about it.
10. Quick Change Surprise (Episode 1)
So, I almost included the scenes where Cherry carves out an animal organ and stuffs it into her ex’s wedding cake—only for it to explode blood everywhere—but, honestly, I figured not everyone would be on board. Instead, we fast-forward to her leaving that very wedding, dramatically ripping off her coat to reveal a stunning fuchsia dress underneath. Oui, oui, honey. I’m obsessed. Bonus points for ditching the classic siren red, as opting for pink-red instead feels like a deliberate move to make us question whether she’s the clichéd dangerous woman or something more…complicated.
9. Cherry In The Club With Strangers (Episode 4)
Cherry is having…a moment. Her fiancé is supposedly dead, the family won’t tell her where he’s buried, and honestly, she’s spiraling. So, naturally, she takes Pandora up on her offer to go clubbing and starts pounding tequila shots like they’re going out of style. One thing leads to another, and suddenly she’s making out with some rando against the club wall, getting hot and heavy. Mood = established. Enter Brigitte, who absolutely does not approve. Yeah, thanks for killing the vibe, Brigitte.
8. Entertaining Guests At A House Viewing (Episode 1)
It’s time for a MEET CUTE and I am here for it!!! Cherry has stolen Pandora’s house viewing and is showing sexy bachelor Daniel around a penthouse that’s basically real estate porn—and yes, my blood is absolutely pumping. Then they start trading sly innuendos about “entertaining” with this view—translation: are you single? I’m single. You’re hot. I’m hot. Yes, queen. And then Cherry puts the cherry on top (weak pun, forgive me, I’m horny): “Sometimes I come out here and entertain myself.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? The intense eye contact? Iconic. I am dead.
7. Pool Party For Two (Episode 3)
Laura goes downstairs to enjoy a nice dip in her pool when she finds her son there…and his girlfriend, Cherry. They’re both stark naked, and YES, we get a glimpse of Cherry’s prime behind. Laura is not pleased to say the least, and quickly leaves, later asking her son not to shag his girlfriend in her pool. It’s a fair request, and my main complaint is that the scene started later than it should have.
6. Laura And Howard Still Do It (Episode 1)
The whole “women lose their sex drive as they get older” myth? Yeah, Laura is here to shut that down. After Daniel and Cherry head out, she and Howard get it on—and honestly, it looks like a good time. That’s the perk of a long marriage: you know exactly how to hit the spot…and how to push every last button. Laura hops on top like her knees have never even heard of aging, and we love that for her. Post-O, they’re lying there catching their breath when Howard drops the bomb that he wants to stop seeing Marianne (aka end their open marriage). Laura’s not into that plan. And honestly? Poor Marianne. This man should probs stop wasting her time either way.
5. You Spin Me Right Round (Episode 1)
Arousal isn’t just reserved for the bedroom. Foreplay can last all day, and here, it’s watching Cherry sweat her absolute ass off in spinning class. (Yes, that sounded vulgar. Yes, I own it.) She’s in the zone: intense stare, mouth slightly open, drenched in sweat, bathed in dramatic blue light, the instructor yelling next to her. It’s absurdly hot. And no, I do not look like that when I’m spinning. Nope. Not even close.
4. Lilith And Laura Reminisce (Episode 5)
Laura turns to her ex-lover Lilith to save the day and snag some art for her gallery. Lilith agrees, clearly still fueled by her undying flame for Laura…plus, let’s be real, probably those burning loins too. They celebrate with groovy tunes, a joint, and some killer moves. Then Laura’s shirt comes off, and suddenly they’re kissing. The night is looking very promising…
3. Meet The Parents [And Her Mouth] (Episode 1)
Meeting the parents is already terrifying, but add a London mega-mansion into the mix and the stakes skyrocket—do you know how much those cribs cost?! Daniel gives Cherry the grand tour, which of course lands them in his bedroom. He’s trying to play it cute, but she’s like, “nah, let’s make this blowjob chic” (makeup and dress preservation = priorities). Hard relate. Naturally, Lilith strolls by mid-action and catches a glimpse. Awkward! Don’t worry, they finish—well, he does. Naughty sex will always get points, but let’s be real, we wish this scene was a little more mutually satisfying.
2. Phone Sex At A Villa (Episode 2)
Anyone who knows me knows I am a glutton for classic phone sex, and this scene is peak indulgence. They’re on holiday in Spain with the family, and Cherry is clearly craving some alone time. She plops herself on a sunbed right under the balcony to their room, calls Daniel after his run, and launches into some filthy talking. Watching each other, they both start to…you know, take matters into their own hands—Cherry slipping her hand under her itty-bitty bikini. Yes, queen. It’s hot. And then…LAURA INTERRUPTS TO HUG HER SON MID-SESSION. I. CANNOT.
1. Cherry And Daniel Reunited With Red Wine (Episode 5)
Our babies are back together!!! After spotting Daniel alive and well at the hotel, the pair head to a bar to talk. It’s awkward—he thought he was ghosted, she thought he died. Major miscommunication trope. They retreat to a hotel room with red wine, Cherry staring at him like he’s a miracle. They start kissing, Daniel struggling to unzip her dress. Usually that’s an ick moment, but here? Somehow endearing. He breaks the zipper, she giggles, “You muppet.” They leave the dress on, push it up, and collapse onto the bed for some romantic, sensual missionary. Sigh.
