But before she travels back to the future, they have one swift, sad, desperate act of love in front of the stones at Craig Na Dun. Unfortunately, this time it’s goodbye for real for Jamie and Claire. Season 2 Episode 13, “Dragonfly in Amber” Goodbye Sex “Find us.” The whole scene is gorgeously lit with a blue light as the couple rediscover their rhythm. Claire is pregnant with their first child, but that doesn’t stop her-and why should it?-from coming to Jamie’s room and straddling him while he lovingly touches her belly. Season 2 Episode 4, “La Dame Blanche” Pregnancy SexĪfter being in a Droughtlander of their own, Claire and Jamie finally come together again. It’s an unexpected and, on Jamie’s part, generous way to end their relationship-although luckily for him, Claire decides to stay. On what he thinks will be their last night together, Jamie touches Claire-and when she tries to reciprocate, he declines. After being accused of being a witch (because…18th century), Claire has to come clean and tell Jamie she’s from the future-and she best go back before she’s burned at the stake. Jamie proves what a giver he is in this episode as well. Season 1 Episode 11, “The Devil’s Mark” Jamie Uses His Hands Season 1 Episode 11, “The Devil’s Mark” Even a persistent banging on the door by his friend Murtaugh can’t deter Jamie-he insists Claire finish before he answers. Lest we forget Jamie had never been with anyone before Claire, he’s certainly taken to pleasing his new wife with gusto. This episode starts with a bang-although at first we’re not sure what we’re looking at, then we see Jamie’s red hair popping up from between Claire’s legs. Season 1 Episode 10, “By the Pricking of My Thumbs” Jamie Learns a New Skill Related: A Guide to the Outlander Book Series-Plus, Exclusive Intel from Author Diana Gabaldon “If you ever raise a hand to me again, James Fraser, I will cut your heart out and have it for breakfast, do you understand me?” she says. So Claire forgives him with some steamy makeup sex-while she, positioned on top of him, holds the dagger to his throat. “If ever my hand is raised in rebellion against you again, then I ask that this holy iron may pierce my heart,” he says while holding his knife. This is almost unforgivable for Claire (and for viewers), but hearts are softened when Jamie grovels as he realizes what an outdated, horrible thing it is to “discipline” your wife. One of the most controversial moments in the book plays out in this episode, in which Jamie punishes Claire for disobeying him with a traditional 18th-century belt slapping.
Season 1 Episode 9, “The Reckoning” Makeup Sex-with a Knife Although their moment is short and sweet before Claire has to put a dagger in a malicious soldier, it’s still probably one of the most stunning locales for a love scene, even an interrupted one. So, they take it to the Scottish countryside to make love al fresco-because why not? Well, we can think of a reason: There could be marauding redcoats about, which is exactly what occurs. Jamie and Claire are still in the honeymoon “let’s do it wherever and whenever” phase of their relationship.

“We see a lot more of the intimacy and the passion of Claire and Jamie.” She kept her promise, but here’s hoping Season 6 takes it up a notch. “The circumstances of this season have really allowed us to invest in those relationship moments,” Balfe said. Although the earlier seasons had more of our favorite passionate moments-Season 4 was a little light on the Claire/Jamie romance-Balfe promised viewers could expect more in Season 5. It doesn’t hurt that the actors who play our favorite 18th-century Scotsman and his time-traveling 20th-century wife, Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe, have major chemistry. It means that the story-even the sexual parts of it-is based on the female perspective and experience, which is why women viewers find it so hot. Outlander is purposefully filmed with the “female gaze” in mind-and no, that’s not a reference to the camera lingering on Jamie’s beautiful body. It’s because they’re the most authentic, the most emotional, the most intimate without feeling exploitative.

There’s no doubt that Outlander’s sex scenes have been some of the best on TV ever-and not because the show features the most gratuitous nudity (we’re looking at you, Game of Thrones).
