'Outlander' season 4 recap: Here's why we didn't get to see more Claire and Jamie sex scenes this season

Starz's 'Outlander' is loved for many reasons and powerful sex scenes are one, however, season 4 had fewer intimate scenes but that's justified, if not anything else.

The tenure of 'Droughtlander,' gives us enough time to reflect and ponder about the bygone seasons while looking forward to the upcoming ones. Weeks down the line after season 4 wrapped with an explosive finale, fans reminisce an integral 'Outlander' characteristic that was largely absent in the latest season- Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser's (Caitriona Balfe) sex scenes.

There are ample reasons why 'Outlander' is one of the favorite shows and there's something for everyone; a time-defying love, time travel, adventurous journies, supernatural elements, outstanding costumes, family dynamics and many other things, but it's also the meaningful and intimate sex scenes that the show portrays that stands out the most, mainly because it is so empowering and well crafted that fans have identified it to be a representation of powerful love bearing a strong feminist message.
