The Sexiest 2023 BL Scenes

I think we can all agree that there is an art to executing a sex scene -- and not everybody's an artist. This year, we (and, by that, I mean you) gif'd a couple of masterpieces that range from romantic to...educational. Here are the ones that live in my head rent free, in order of PG-13 to NC-17:

BEST ROLE-PLAY SEX: Bed Friend

If you had told me last year that incorporating cat ears into foreplay would result in one of the hottest scenes in BL, I would've given you bombastic side-eye. But James, the actor who plays Uea, pulled it off, and is probably responsible for a lot of Amazon orders till this day. (Episode 6)

BEST BEACH-SIDE SEX: The Eighth Sense

This entire sequence was so beautifully lit in golden tones, with soft touches, and romantic moments. It almost made you forget about the depression plot. Almost. (Episode 6)

LONG-AWAITED SEX: Hidden Agenda

Joke yearned for Zo in a way that was borderline comical. From the moment Zo kissed Joke like he was trying to give him CPR and then promptly shoved him out of his apartment, I knew every kiss after that would have to come with a parental warning. I'm surprised Joke didn't move in. (Episode 8)

DO-OVER SEX: Love Class 2

The music for this sex scene was so perfectly matched with the caressing and hand closeups. And the fact that it happened after the initially-ghosted Joo Hyuk got Sung Min to reconsider made it even sweeter. (Episode 9)

BEST WET SEX SCENE: Kiseki: Dear to Me

I may have enjoyed Ai Di and Chen Yi's love story more, but Fan Ze Rui and Bai Zong Yi were helping us all live out our tall boy fantasies. When he mounted him with a soft bounce, I knew the gif Gods would giveth. (Episode 7)

BEST EUPHORIC SEX: Only Friends

Ray looked like he reached nirvana when he made love to Sand in that sardine can of trailer, so of all their sex scenes, this was my fave. (Episode 9)

BEST INSECURITY-INDUCED SEX: Only Friends

Say what you will about Boston -- and the fandom has said a lot lol -- but if you had to choose a cast member to get you off, you'd choose him in a heartbeat. And yes, this scene was grimey. He f*cked his friend's potential boyfriend in the backseat of his car after manipulating him into believing he was cheated on, but can you blame him? He was probably tired of always having to give and never receive. Plus, Top did this vibrating move that made me wonder who told Force to do that... (Episode 3)

BEST CENSORED SEX: Wedding Plan

I'm still mad that this scene wasn't in the Youtube cut. It paints an entirely different picture of their dynamic and their personalities. But thank God for the gif'ers, otherwise I would've missed how ravenous they were when they weren't...wedding planning. 😳 (Episode 6)

BEST WHIPLASH SEX: Be Mine Superstar

To be clear, WE were the ones getting whiplash. One minute, we were watching a sweet love story between an innocent college kid and his idol crush, and the next minute we were watching a masterclass on how to bang your one-night stand (consensually) until he agrees to date you. It's like...Sir, I'm on the train. Could you give a bitch a heads up? (Episode 8)

***

While I am generally envious of every single one of these experiences, I'm even more envious of everyone's knee strength and flexibility. I could never. Rollerblading has ruined me. If I tried half of these positions, I'd have to get physical therapy. 🙃

PERFECT MARRIAGE REVENGE (2023) dir. Oh Sang Won

[shitposting-i-guess]

If I had a nickel for every time I watched a webtoon-turned-kdrama in which the fml discovers her fiancé (who doesn't actually love her) and her sister/sister figure (who is always belittling her and planning her downfall while pretending to be nice) together and dies in a tragic manner, then travels back in time and decides to get revenge with the help of a good female friend and the rich successful ml who is also the fiancé's boss and has also travelled back in time and has a certain physical mark to prove it and has been in love with her since before, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't alot but it's weird that it happened twice.

[kateknowsdramas]

After I met you, I learned that happiness is in the everyday. That it's in the moments we pass by daily. So this is our perfect marriage.

[storge]

That… That was not enough.

It must be hell. A hell you can never escape from. I know because I'm down there too. So if you have time to cry, make those bastards who did this burn in hell. That's the only way to survive it.

Song: Spring Day by BTS

Happy Valentine’s Day

I may have forgotten to actually make something, so this is more of just another ARISE song, but you can imagine this song was released on Valentine’s Day

Made after hearing Choi Jong-In's voice in the English dub (It was a lot deeper than I expected)

Fun fact: Jong-In has twice as many lines as the others but doesn't have any lines by himself (his voice's also so soft and low in the song that it's a little hard to hear)

[dangermousie]

This is AMAZING!!!!

Oh my GOD! "Use me," he said. And she did. This is pretty epic - he's in love and she knows he is, she's not (or not realizing her feelings) and he knows she isn't, and they bang with him wanting to make love and her merely wanting physical release and ummm I have NOT seen dramas do that before. MMMM

I love that the choice is always hers.

So gorgeous!!!!!

It's like a dam breaks. That makeout is INSANE!!!!!

I love that she's a full participant, see her going for his shirt, go get it girl!

She wants him bad and it's glorious!

Hahaha he rips his shirt off in the best harlequin tradition and I love it. I mean, show off all those hours of work in the gym, thank you!

This is the hottest make out I've ever seen in a kdrama!

AAAAAAA! (But you know if she really insisted he stop, he would.)

But she doesn't and so off they go again...

I love the shot of their hands and seeing the timer on his hand too! In case we needed confirmation he's a transmigrator too!
