Every Outlander Sex Scene, Ranked
Based on a highly sophisticated formula.
Outlander blends historical fiction, action, and, yes, romance to tell the story of former World War II combat nurse Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), an Englishwoman who inadvertently travels through time and falls in love with an 18th-century Highland warrior named Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). In one of the series’ most transactional (read: least arousing) sex scenes, our heroine Claire offers up her body to King Louis XV in exchange for husband Jamie’s freedom after he’s caught dueling (a big no-no in 18th-century France). Her reasoning: “How could I say no to a man who pursued me for 200 years?” With a fire crackling in the hearth of their room at the inn, the “newlyweds” begin disrobing each other and getting down to business, in what may very well be one of the series’ longest sex scenes since Claire and Jamie’s own wedding.
