Researchers from Perspectus Global conducted a poll exclusively for The Sun, asking Brits to reveal the sexiest scenes they've seen on TV or film in the past year – and the results were undeniably steamy.
The super smooch between Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) and Superman (David Corenswet) topped the list, followed closely by steamy scenes from Paradise and Babygirl, which left viewers feeling hot under the collar.
It wasn't just the scenes that got pulses racing – a list of the UK’s most alluring stars saw Margot Robbie rise to the top of the votes, closely followed by Thor hunk Chris Hemsworth.
Margot proved to be a popular choice among nearly every age group – except for those over 60, who crowned another star as their ultimate screen heartthrob.
Interestingly, men (56%) were more likely than women (45%) to admit they had been aroused by mainstream TV and films.
“There may be more entertainment options than ever, but it’s clear that many Brits still experience a little thrill from watching TV,” says Harriet Scott, Managing Director of Perspectus Global.
“Our research even shows that some take it a step further with a bit of cheeky role play.”
Here, we reveal the top seven sizzling TV scenes of 2025, along with insights from The Sun’s Sexpert Georgie Culley on what makes them so enticing.

This scene likely snagged the top spot because there's something irresistibly hot about a handsome man sweeping you onto the kitchen counter for a passionate kiss.
