All 30 Sex Scenes on 'The L Word: Generation Q' Ranked

Get Ready for the (Best) Action...

While the original L Word series certainly had its flaws, the quality of its sex scenes was never one of them. In 2019, the series got its sequel, The L Word: Generation Q, and we have to admit we were skeptical that it would live up to the original. But two seasons in, the sex scenes in Gen Q might just top the earlier ones. Here's a roundup of all 30 sex scenes in order of greatness.

Ep. 102 – If Only There Had Been Less Alcohol for Finley

After Finley hits on Rebecca at a bar, the two are on to something hot -- until Finley gets sick and sexy times are abruptly canceled.

Ep. 102 – Alice and Nat in the Early Days

On their first night together, Nat and Alice get interrupted by Nat's ex-wife, Gigi, but that doesn't stop them from getting it on.

Ep. 101 – Alice and Nat on the Couch

Nat has seven minutes before she has to leave the house, and Alice challenges her to do it in six. Their plans almost get thwarted by kids' toys that are on the couch, but Alice pushes through.

Ep. 104 – It Was Only Just a Dream

Shane remembers hot sex with Quiara, but before we can get into it, she is awakened by texts from her friends on her 40h birthday.

Ep. 102 – Poetry In Motion

Set to a poem by Alix Olson, Nat and Alice fool around in bed while Finley and Rebecca do it under the stars with a boob grab that gives us life. Gotta love those sex montages.

Ep. 105 – Shane’s Morning Shag

Shane's ex Quiara wakes Shane up with a shag, and as seducing as this is, we're quickly reminded of their impending divorce and a confession that Quiara is pregnant.

Ep. 105 – Finley and Tess Have Drunken Sex

We don't dislike this scene of Finley topping Tess in the backroom of a bar -- but Tess is drunk after two years of sobriety and it's clear that Finely has a drinking problem. It's definitely erotic, but Tess and Finley have some work to do on themselves.

Ep. 207 – Nat and Alice in the Car for a Quickie

Exes Nat and Alice have an awkward run-in followed by car sex in which Alice notices that Nat has "some new moves." Alice then orgasms with her head popping out of the sunroof. What a time to be alive.

We’re Really Going to Do This, Right?

After an adorable slow dance, Alice and Tom escape for a quickie, and from Alice's reaction, it sounds like she's heavily into it.

Sophie and Finley Smash Before They Crash

Dani confesses that she had a sex dream about Bette Porter (haven't we all?), while Sophie stays tight-lipped about cheating with Finley. We all know this relationship is about to come crashing down, but who's to say we can't enjoy Sophie and Dani as they smash into each other one last time?

You Sure You Remember How?

As Micah and Maribel are about to screw for the first time, Maribel jokes, "You sure you remember how?" Micah also asks for verbal consent in this scene, which is a huge plus in our books!

Is This Her Bed?

After Sophie serenades Finley with a rendition of Tegan and Sara's "Closer," the two get back together. Things almost get awkward when Finley mentions that they're doing it in Dani's bed, but the two move past it and make sweet passionate love.

Touch Me

Dani and Sophie are back at it again, and when Sophie is unsure whether they should be f***ing, Dani asks Sophie to touch her and then the brakes are off. A must-watch in our book.

Micah and Jose in the Pool

Perhaps in a callback to pool sex from the original series, Micah and Jose have sex in a pool with "Love Is a Bitch" by Two Feet playing in the background. We're here for it!

Shane’s Forbidden Desk Sex

Shane has mad hot sex with Lena on a desk after Lena tells her it's over between her and Tess. All we'll say is this scene did not last long enough for us.

Don’t Look at Me Like That, You’re Getting Married

With Sophie and Dani leaving for Hawaii the next day to get married, Finley throws a wrench in the plan by seducing Sophie and being her adorable self. The two f*** for the first time but leave us wondering what will happen with Sophie and Dani.

Tess Moans for Shane

Shane tops Tess, and her moans indicate that Tess is having a seriously good time. But after Tess comes, she starts talking about Finley's alcoholism, and the mood disappears as quickly as it came.

Micah Tries Something New

Jose tells Micah he loves him, and Micah gathers up the courage to try something with Jose he's never done before. The results are incredible.

The Return of Cherie Jaffe

Shane's ex-lover Cherie Jaffe is back in town, and this time she's dating (and banging) Tess. When Tess tries to leave a party early, Cherie cuts in and goes down on Tess. As messy as this love triangle is, we just can't look away.

Dating Apps Deliver for Micah

After swiping right, Micah meets a man named Hassan -- or rather gets topped by him on a couch -- from the front and the back.

Shane Bangs a Flight Attendant

After more than 10 years, Shane is back in action -- this time with a sexy flight attendant on the table in another scene that just doesn't last long enough.

Should We Drink Water or Something?

Sophie and Finley are back at it again, this time with two butt slaps and a bra thrown onto the ground in haste. Sophie moans while Finley eats her out, and Finley gets some while lying down and sitting up. At the end, Sophie asks, "Should we like drink water or eat or something?" Same, girl.

Gigi and Dani Finally Do It

The opening line is "f*** Bette Porter," but Gigi and Dani clearly don't need her. Before the clothes even come off, Gigi sucks Dani's breast and then moves down her body with precision until Dani takes the reins.

Bette and Pippa: A Piece of Art

Bette and Pippa f*** inside an art installation with multicolored lights. There's hand-holding, finger sucking, gasping, and a whole lot of sexual tension that was worth the wait. Where is the Emmy Award for Best Cinematography?

Nat and Gigi Let Their Bodies Talk

This scene of Gigi going down on Nat is just so damn good, even if we know Alice is going to be pissed at their rendezvous. But with a killer soundtrack and some great shots of Gigi eating out Nat, we just can't look away.

Bette Takes Gigi From Behind

Fresh off being rejected by Pippa Pascal in a professional and possibly romantic sense, Bette runs to Gigi and f***s her from behind to the soundtrack of Fletcher's "The One." Need we say more?

Shane and Tess: Partners at Last

When Shane finally admits to Tess that she wants to be her partner, Tess grabs her and all bets are off. We get a bit of anal and some nipple sucking with the backdrop of lights in Las Vegas behind them, and damn, it's just beautiful.

Dani and Sophie Have Period Sex

The first episode of Generation Q starts with a bang -- literally. Dani goes down on Sophie while Sophie is having her period, and we cannot think of a hotter way to start this series.

Bette and Gigi: A Tale of Two Tops

Gigi asks Bette if she wants this, and Bette responds by pressing Gigi's hands atop her breasts. Fingers are sucked and the two push each other around before sharing some passionate French kisses and making us gasp with pleasure.

That Epic Threesome

We've never seen a threesome as arousing as this, and Billie Eilish's "ilomilo" certainly elevates the mood. It's dark and titillating and vaguely forbidden with Alice and Nat f***ing Nat's ex Gigi in the backroom of a bar. We never will stop hitting play on this one.
