Tamra BarneyLet's face it, the ladies of the Real Housewives of each and every city are much better known for their fighting than their loving. With all of that clawing and cattiness with one another, there's not much time for romance, but a few of them have managed to bring a little of it to the table.

Just like with everything else, these ladies push the limits when it comes to matters of the heart. In honor of Valentine's Day and love in all forms, let's revisit five of the steamiest, sexiest (or at least sex-filled) scenes in recent Real Housewives history.

1. Tamra Barney and her boyfriend Eddie Judge -- The Real Housewives of Orange County

It would be hard to get much steamier than their scene in the hot tub without getting an X rating. They heated things up for sure.

2. Ridickulous, the stripper -- The Real Housewives of Atlanta

He was definitely more about raunchy than romance, but the stripper Phaedra Parks hired to entertain at Kandi Burruss's birthday bash definitely screamed S-E-X ... with himself. In front of everyone, with his own mouth.

3. Mauricio Umansky -- The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Pretty much any scene with him is steamy, enough so that women send him nude pictures of themselves. On the reunion tonight, Andy Cohen referred to the "Magic of Mauricio," which makes women swoon. Kyle Richards is a lucky girl.

4. Ramona Singer and her husband Mario -- The Real Housewives of New York

Remember the lingerie-clad chair massage Ramona gave Mario when she was semi-concerned about him cheating? Okay, it was more totally awkward than steamy, but she gets points for trying.

5. Brandi Glanville and Camille Grammer -- The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

They claim there was no tongue, but there was some serious bumping and grinding going on between the two of them in Las Vegas. There's a definite flirtation between the two whenever they're together.
