We all love a good reality show, but certain restrictions and guidelines prevent us from getting our fill of sexy content from them. But that doesn’t mean no real-life shows use that MA rating to the fullest. If you’re a reality TV fan or ready to dip your toe in, check out these five shows that sizzle on our screens:

BACHELOR IN PARADISE

Bikinis, abs and the “Boom Boom Room” are just three sexy aspects of this spin-off of The Bachelor. The women and men are beautiful and there is enough drama to get you hooked. The most recent season even featured its first same-sex couple. And yes, that “Boom Boom Room” exists and is used before the staple Fantasy Suites where people “talk the whole night.” Yeah, right! We know what you’re doing in there.

LOVE ISLAND

Bachelor in Paradise and the UK’s Love Island share a similar premise, but Love Island really ramps up the x-factor. The contestants spend most of the summer hooking up where the cameras can’t see them — but we do catch glimpses of them. There is also an Australian version, so there is now enough to binge on Hulu.

CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: SEX AND LOVE AROUND THE WORLD

Renowned journalist Christiane Amanpour plunges into sex, love and all topics linked to it in this six-part series. The holds-no-bar format is exceptionally informative. It’s an alternative to the reality format. Watch it on Netflix.

THE REAL L WORD

The L Word was such a genius idea that it only made sense to turn it into a reality show. The featured LA lesbians all had different lives and priorities, but that didn’t prevent them from hooking up with each other. If you’re a fan of The L Word and The L Word: Generation Q, definitely check this one out on Showtime.

BIG BROTHER

When you put people together in one house for several weeks, there are bound to be hookups. The show’s competitive nature provides another layer of tension and drama. It might not be your first pick for a sexy watch, but it may surprise you. You can check it out on CBS.
