Gossip Girl here, and it’s time to talk about the scandalous sex lives of Manhattan’s elite. It’s been over a decade since Gossip Girl last aired, and many fans still consider it to be one of the best teen dramas to ever grace our TV screens. It gave fans six seasons of romance, friend group drama, and scandals only the hyperprivileged teens of the East Side could fall into. And, of course, it produced some iconic sex scenes.
The sex scenes in Gossip Girl weren’t just about sex: They represented major emotional breakthroughs for our cast of chaotic Manhattan teens. While some sex scenes marked the beautiful beginnings of some relationships, they also marked the tragic endings of others. And, for central pairing Blair and Chuck, they added fuel to their series-long, enemies-to-lovers fire. It wouldn’t be Gossip Girl if the sex scenes didn’t come with a side of major tension and scandal.
Whether your ride-or-die pairing is Blair and Chuck or Serena and Dan, it’s no secret that Gossip Girl has some of the best and steamiest sex scenes on TV. If you’re in the mood for a rewatch, look no further. Here are five legendary Gossip Girl sex scenes, ranked.
- Season 3, Episode 4: Serena & Nate in the Kitchen
-
Messy, chemistry off the charts, “I told you I was good in the kitchen.” Nate is in the middle of making breakfast when Serena walks into the kitchen wearing his shirt. He immediately abandons his meal at the sight of her — and honestly, I can’t blame him. They then share strawberries and whipped cream mid-sex, and it’s messy, but hot nonetheless.
- Season 6, Episode 1: Blair & Chuck Make It Official
-
After six seasons of on-again, off-again, there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing Blair and Chuck finally solidify their relationship. While some of their best sex scenes are fueled by mutual hate during the show’s earlier seasons, this one is special and romantic.
- Season 1, Episode 11: Serena & Dan’s First Time
-
Serena and Dan’s first time is one of the most unforgettable moments of the show, especially for a couple that wound up being endgame. Serena surprises Dan with a snow simulator, and Dan sweetly recounts the night they met. It’s romantic, a little extra, and a perfect first time for this pairing.
- Season 2, Episode 3: Blair & Chuck Get Caught
-
This one technically isn’t a sex scene, but it is some steamy foreplay, and the drama of it all is too iconic to leave off this list. Blair and Chuck share a passionate make-out in a dark room, where all we see are their silhouettes — and it’s even hotter than it sounds. They’re so into it that they don’t even notice when Blair’s boyfriend walks into the room.
- Season 4, Episode 7: Blair & Chuck’s Hate Sex
-
The most legendary sex scene in Gossip Girl has to be Blair and Chuck’s hate sex scene. The tension and buildup are part of what makes it so great, with Blair telling Chuck, “I hate you… Every nerve ending in my body is electrified by hatred.” Are you sure it’s just hatred, Blair? They inch closer and closer as they argue, until they’re going at it right on top of the piano.
