I think a lot of typical sex scenes on TV were, very much, showing the female body and, generally, it’s through the pleasure of the man the male experience and all of that.
During an Entertainment Weekly roundtable discussion, Caitriona Balfe praised Outlander for focusing on both characters’ perspectives in sex scenes. Because the show is focused on both characters, Claire’s pleasure is given as much screen time as Jamie’s. One of the things any fan of Outlander can appreciate is that the sex scenes between Jamie and Claire are consensual and balanced.
