Joy Behar joked The View panel was feeling 'horny' on Friday as she and her cohosts discussed the racy six-minute sex scene between Bridgerton characters Colin and Penelope in season three of the hit Netflix show.
Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin made no secret of the fact that they have thoroughly enjoyed watching the latest episodes of series, with Sara, 46, even hinting at her own sex life and teasing: 'My husband knows when I'm watching Bridgerton.'
The mother-of-three admitted: 'Those scenes... the sensual nature in how the build-up is, it takes me places just watching! I can't be alone!' as comedian Joy, 81, blurted out: 'This is one horny panel!'
'I watched it. It's magical,' Sunny, 55, then commented before referring to the executive producer of Bridgerton and saying: 'Shonda Rhimes was very clear in that she wanted to make sure that this came from a female gaze, and we haven't seen a lot of that.'
'I haven't stopped gazing!' Sara butted in as Joy joked: 'I could never do a six-minute sex scene! First of all, shouting "get off of me" only takes four seconds!' as she revealed Bridgerton fans have been left divided over how long the scene takes to play out.

The hosts were praising the six-minute sex scene between characters Colin and Penelope, which plays out in season three
'Is six minutes a long time?' Sunny asked, as Joy replied: 'I think so,' before quickly adding: 'To watch it, maybe. Not to do it, to watch it!' as Ana Navarro chimed in and said: 'And who exactly is divided about this? Who is against a six-minute sex scene? There's no division mama!'
'But, you know, you could leave a little to the imagination?' Joy argued, as Ana, 52, fired back: 'Why?'
'Well, remember in the old days, they'd be on the beach making out and then the waves were crashing, you knew what they were doing. But now they have to see the exact thing!' Joy explained.
Ana then revealed that she met actress Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington, on a flight recently and said: 'She was going down to Brazil to promote the show, I was going down to Miami. And I'm now having a really hard time seeing her naked because she is so sweet, and nice, and little, and gracious....'
A rather excited Sara then joked: 'But even the sweet, nice ones can get naked,' as Alyssa Farah Griffin claimed: 'This is literally what we tune into Bridgerton for, you want the steamy, romantic sex scenes,' as Sunny added: 'From a female gaze!' as Sara joked: 'I haven't stopped gazing!'
Referring to Nicola, 37, Sunny then said: 'What I like about that particular actress is that she's like Romanesque, she's not your skinny, skinny mini, and so some people came out against her and said, "that was a lot of boobs to see," and she said something that I loved.
'She said, "you don't get to see perfect breasts often," and I was like, " go ahead,"' Sunny added as the live studio audience applauded her.
'I also like that for a scene that long you need the actors to be bought into it, and she said in an interview that she felt like it was so empowering and she felt sexy in those moments, and that comes through in watching it,' Alyssa commented.

Joy agreed and said: 'I think it's good. It enhances marriages because you're sick of each other after a while and this gets you going again!' as Sara blurted out: 'Oh it's so true! It rewards everyone!'
The conversation then took an even racier turn as Joy asked: 'Did you ever watch a porn flick? It's written by men, they're like gynecological tapes! You know, there's no foreplay, there's no run up...'
Alyssa, 35, then said: 'Yeah, but they're trying to have more female directors, Stormy Daniels is now directing...' as Joy added: 'The foreplay is the most fun anyway and then finish it up at the end of the movie!'
Gushing about Bridgerton again, Sunny commented: 'These are very, very sexy. They're beautifully shot and the clothing is beautiful, and the words are beautiful, and it's the British accents... I could watch it forever.'
Their comments come after Nicola and costar Luke Newton, who plays Colin, revealed that they broke the chaise lounge they were on during the explicit six-minute sex scene.
On Thursday, the Irish actress took to Instagram and shared a photo of her and Luke giving the camera a thumbs up as they posed with the damaged chaise lounge.
