After a scene featuring daddy Andrew Scott spitting is star Leo Reich’s mouth went viral, fans were unsure if the new A24 comedy It Gets Worse would live up to expectations.
Spoiler alert: It does! The coming-of-age comedy about a group of twenty-something friends struggling with life, love, and sex was finally released in the U.S., and it turns out the show manages to be both funny and steamy — often at the same time.
There are plenty of scenes of half-naked men, hot lesbian sex, and embarrassing sexual encounters that will have you fanning yourself and rolling on the floor with laughter.
The sex scenes in the show are hot and plentiful, but what begins as a sexy moment often turns to black humor as the characters’ lives continue to hilariously spiral and get more chaotic with every step they take toward real adulthood.
Some of the scenes are smoking hot, and others are cringe inducing, but all of them are likely to put a smile on your face. So we’ve watched and rewatched the scenes — hey, don’t judge! — and crunched the numbers to come up with a very scientific ranking of every sex scene from sort of steamy to unbelievably hot. Enjoy!
11. The bathroom hand job (episode 6)
A24
This funny but slightly tragic sex scene starts off episode 6. In it, Abi’s sex life is still proving to be disappointing when she tries to give a quick handy to her date in the bathroom while someone knocks on the door wanting to get in.
10. When the vibrator doesn't vibe (episode 2)
A24
Abi attempts a little self-love while her boyfriend is out on a run, but just as things are starting to feel good, the vibrator that she hides behind a plant in her bathroom craps out on her. She tries again and almost gets there before getting so frustrated that she throws the sex toy against the wall and smashes it.
9. Salad tossing (episode 3)
A24
Abi tells her boyfriend Tom that she wants to try something new and the thing we know, he’s on all fours on their bed, jerking off while she is rimming him. Sadly, it doesn’t look like either one of them is enjoying this particular salad tossing.
8. Bottoming for Jesse (episode 1)
A24
When Ethan shows up on Jesse’s doorstep and asks him to “fuck me like I’m nothing,” things quickly turn steamy as Ethan asks him top him, insult him, and spit on him. But the comedy almost immediately sets in when bottoming is painful, Jesse spits on Ethan, and it gets in his eyes, and the insult he throws out is “I don’t think you douched properly.” (Ethan does hilariously admit he ate a kebab before coming over, so Jesse might be on to something).
7. Another round for the table garçon (episode 3)
A24
After the woman she’s flirting with starts making out with someone else, Sam heads to the bathroom and accidentally stumbles upon Freddy going down on her friend and co-worker, Louise. Freddy pulls his head out from under Louise’s dress and tells Sam that “this pussy tastes good,” and gets back to eating her out.
6. I'm an Adonis (episode 6)
A24
The final episode starts with Jesse topping Ethan while talking dirty. The two men both look sexy and sweaty, but Jesse paying more attention to his own biceps and calling himself an “Adonis” adds a bit of comedy to the steamy moment.
5. Sam's failed threesome (episode 6)
A24
Sam has been attempting to use Tess as a way to make her ex-girlfriend Zara jealous, a plan that keeps backfiring on her. After catching the two making out at the warehouse sex party, Sam attempts a threesome with them, but the threesome quickly becomes a twosome, with Tess watching Tess ad Zara go at it. Luckily for viewers, the scene is hot before it ruins Sam's night.
4. Ethan attempts sex at his parents' house (episode 5)
A24
Aaron and Ethan attempt to have sex while Ethan is staying at his parents' house. The scene starts hot and heavy as they climb on top of each other and rip their clothes off, but things get a little derailed when Ethan insists Aaron can call him whatever name he wants if it will turn him on. We don’t get to see them actually have sex but the two share some steamy kisses before the scene ends.
3. Lesbian porn (episode 5)
A24
Aaron and Ethan’s sexcapades at Ethan’s parent’s house continues when Aaron tries watching lesbian porn on his phone while Ethan gives him a blow job. Like many of the sex scenes in It Gets Worse, it is equal parts hot and funny as they try to work through Aaron’s issues with staying hard.
2. Why are you so loud? (episode 3)
A24
We get to see Sam enjoy herself when Tess eats her out at the beginning of the third episode. Sam arches her back and cries out as we see Tess’s head between her legs. The shot even give fans a a peek at Sam’s pubic hair which is almost unheard of on TV. But it wouldn’t be It Gets Worse without a little comedy thrown in like when Tess pulls herded up to tell Sam she’s being loud before Sam pushes her head back down.
1. You're just a hole for daddy (episode 1)
A24
The show starts with an iconic moment that went viral before it was even released. Before you’ve even met any of the characters, Ethan sits on a therapist’s couch divulging his inner thoughts before it becomes clear that they therapy sesh is really a hookup. No actual sex is shown in this scene but since Andrew Scott play the therapist, it still might be one of the hottest things you’ll see on TV.
Scott’s character kisses Ethan with his hand on his through before saying the line no one will forget: “You’re just a hole. You’re just a hole for daddy.” Then, Scott says, “Now open your mouth, you little slut. Open wide,” before spitting in his mouth. I mean, c’mon!
