First Times Vol. I

Jim and Pam, The Office

What it lacks in sex it makes up for in sheer power. After two seasons (and many years prior) working together, the most sexually tense relationship in television history explodes with a drunken kiss that caused millions of viewers to leap from their couches.

 

Noah and Alison, The Affair

After three episodes of beating around the bush, Noah and Alison finally upgrade their infidelity from emotional to sexual. It’s a great relief for the two of them–and the viewers–but they soon learn that affairs, much like marriages, have a honeymoon period too.

 

Jon Snow and Ygritte, Game of Thrones

Even an icy bastard like Jon Snow can melt: Once the red hot Ygritte gets naked, Snow throws caution, his vows, and his clothes to the wind.

 

Jessa and Adam, Girls

While not the hottest on this list, this clumsy first hookup is by far the most realistic in how un-ideal it is. Also, the scandal surrounding Jessa screwing her best friend’s ex adds to how hot it is.

 

Masters and Johnson, Masters of Sex

By far the least romantic first encounter of all time, Masters and Johnson go at it with cold and clinical precision in a tangle of flesh, wires, and electrodes.

 

Dexter and Rita, Dexter

The prudish Rita finally ditches the Disney routine and proves to her beau that you don’t have to be a serial killer to misbehave.

 

Daenerys and Khal Drogo, Game of Thrones

After several brutal non-consensual encounters with her brawny barbarian husband, Daenerys finally shows Drogo that he can only mount the world so long as she is mounting him.
