5 Grey's Anatomy Sex Scenes That Nearly Put You on Life Support

At this point, the tagline for Grey's Anatomy should honestly be "Grey's Anatomy: trying to convince audiences that shower sex is enjoyable since 2005." Seriously, though — has anyone in history had hotter bathroom hookups than this crew? In addition to shacking up in shower stalls all over Seattle, Meredith, Derek, and the rest of the gang always make sure to squeeze in plenty of romance between saving patients. After all, there's no better pick-me-up from death and destruction than a little making out here and there, right?

 

 

Cristina and Burke in the On-Call Room

In episode five of season one, Cristina (Sandra Oh) walks into the on-call room to find Burke (Isaiah Washington) half-naked. "Thanks for the coffee," she tells him, right before their pent-up emotions take over and they have some passionate sex.

 

 

 

 

Izzie Tells Karev to Take Off His Pants (and He Does)

Alex (Justin Chambers) and Izzie (Katherine Heigl) had somewhat of a fairy-tale romance for a bit, but before they fell truly in love, they were just hookup buddies. In season two, episode 16, a bomb scare in the hospital has everyone on edge, which prompts Izzie to confront Karev in the on-call room with this classic pickup line: "I haven't had sex in eight months and 12 days. I'm horny, I'm half-naked, and I'm saying yes. Do you want to stand there and talk metaphors or do you want to literally take off your pants?" Spoiler alert: he takes off his pants.

 

 

 

 

Meredith and Derek's XXX-Rated Exam Room Romp

This might be one of the most (if not the most) emotionally charged hookup scenes in Grey's history. During the prom the hospital puts on for Chief Webber's niece in season two's 27th episode, "Losing My Religion," Meredith and Derek steal glances at each other over their dates' (Finn and Addison) shoulders all night. Finally, they sneak away to have a heated exchange, which ends in them getting it on.

 

 

 

 

 

Addison and Karev Start an Illicit Romance

In season three, episode 21, Addison finds herself more and more attracted to Karev, despite her claims to Callie that she'd never sleep with "the help." Later on, she angrily confronts Karev about getting too close to a patient, which results in the two of them getting hot and heavy in a nearby on-call room (is Seattle Grace entirely composed of on-call rooms, or . . . ?).
