It isn't just the pay-per-view adult programs that are showing nudity on TV anymore. There are actually a number of daring shows that don't shy away from giving a glimpse at the main stars and characters in their birthday suit.

From reality TV to the premium channels, nudity is becoming more and more common. However, there are a handful of shows that feature racy scenes more frequently than others. Keep scrolling to see the list of titles below that qualify as the most naked shows on TV.

First up...Outlander

The Starz show has a lot to offer in terms of time-travel, adventure, and intense action sequences. Fans of Outlander are also well-aware that there are a lot of romance scenes on the series.

Actors such as Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, and Tobias Menzies all have intimate encounters of their own. The show wasted no time in establishing that there would be nudity as Season 1, Episode 1, titled "Sassenach," shows Claire (Balfe) and Frank (Menzies) doing the deed.

As for Balfe, she says that modeling prepared her for filming the racy scenes.

During an interview with the New York Post, Balfe said, "You'll probably find most models are incredibly insecure about their bodies. But maybe some of my background prepared me. I'm so used to stripping off in a room of 30 people and I think the fact that I'm out of my 20s helps. I'm just much more sure of who I am."

TV Nudity: Game of Thrones

This may be an obvious one as Game of Thrones is easily one of the most popular shows on TV right now. Over the course of the drama's seven seasons, there have been a number of nude scenes from a variety of different characters.

Stars such as Emilia Clarke, who portrays Daenerys Targaryen, has stripped down completely for a handful of epic moments like when she birthed her three dragons. For the 30-year-old actress, it was a "daunting" task to expose her body on camera.

"It's not what I was looking forward to doing and it's not something I was excited about filming," Clarke said during an interview with Vulture. "It was definitely tricky and hard, as a young actress filming an HBO series — it's daunting enough as it is without having that thrown in."

Other GOT stars that have gone nude include Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy, Carice Van Houten as Melisandre, Esme Bianco as Ros, Finn Jones as Loras Tyrell, Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth, Lena Heady as Cersei Lannister, Natalia Tena as Osha, Natalie Dormer as Margaery Tyrell, Richard Madden as Robb Stark, and a handful of others.

TV Nudity: Orange is the New Black

Netflix's popular prison drama Orange is the New Black has dozens of nude scenes throughout the show's five seasons. A slew of different characters have stripped down for the award-winning series, but not all of them are totally comfortable being in the buff on screen.

Taylor Schilling, who plays Piper Chapman, has spoken out about going nude on OITNB.

"I've been scared of the nudity," Schilling said. "Just as an actor [that] has been frightening for me. I've needed some hand-holding. But what it always comes back to – and why I think those conversations are so valuable – is that we get to the truth of the scene and there's never anything gratuitous on this show."

While it may be uncomfortable, Schilling says that the "vulnerability" translates on screen in the way that fits with her character's storyline.

"It's a physical manifestation of the internal vulnerability," she said. "The physical vulnerability matches the internal vulnerability, and once that's very clear, as an actor I can go anywhere."

TV Nudity: Shameless and Narcos

Shameless

The Showtime series doesn't hold back when airing heavy nudity.

One of the show's stars, Emmy Rossum, has been featured in as many nude scenes as anyone on Shameless. While she doesn't mind baring it all on screen, the 30-year-old actress hates being asked about it.

"Who cares! There's so much more important things about the show than the fact that I show my boobs, " Rossum said while speaking with AOL.

"America is so anti-nudity. You go to Europe and there's absolutely no guns, no violence really in their materials on television but all the women are topless and pubic hair and whatever. What is the big deal about nudity? I just don't get it. It's not violence, it's not offensive to anyone. I don't get it, it's the human body. We're all born naked."

Narcos

The gritty Netflix drama follows the life of drug kingpin, Pablo Escobar. In addition to the hard-hitting action, there is no shortage of steamy scenes.

Actresses such as Carolina Gaitán, who plays Marta Ochoa, have been featured in nude scenes. There are also a number of scenes in which there is sexual activity that is being implied but not visibly seen on screen.

TV Nudity: Being Mary Jane and Dating Naked

Being Mary Jane

The BET series, starring Gabrielle Union, features racy self-love scenes, shower sex, and many other risqué shots.

Fortunately for Union, she says that she is not a "moderate" person so the exposure isn't too uncomfortable for her.

"I felt like Marilyn Chambers towards the end with the sex scenes. Everyone's like 'Clear the room.' And I'm like, 'Look honey. You can google it on the Internet. Let's just shoot it. We're losing the light. If you're excited about seeing my butt, you have bigger issues," she said during an interview with EW.

Dating Naked

Considering the word "naked" is in the title of the show, it should come as no surprise that there is a heavy amount of nudity on Dating Naked.

The VH1 show revolves around single people stripping down to their birthday suit in an exotic location to go on first dates. At the end of each episode, the participants decide whether or not they want to pursue prospective matches.
