question This originally appeared on Quora

James Bond is one of the most intensely marketed and researched fictional characters in cinema history, and the Bond Girls are considered to be pop culture icons. I assembled this answer and attempted to be as comprehensive as possible out of respect for the franchise which I have enjoyed since I was 5 years old.

I rewatched the films over the past year — the time since I asked this question — and took short notes as I watched. Thankfully I own most of the films on DVD or Blu-ray and the rest have been available for streaming on Netflix. It, however, like most other sources, includes "probable encounters," which I have decided to excluded for accuracy sake. All photos are from the scenes themselves unless otherwise noted.

Due to censorship in the '60s and in some cases bad script writing in the '70s, most people who have tackled this subject ended up stretching some of Bond's encounters to beyond just flirting, which in some cases is all they are. For the sake of accuracy I have left out any romances which would occur before a film, or in the space between films because they cannot be "verified." I am, however, including all romances that are shown to begin at the end of each film because a common recurring final scene in 007 films show Bond with a love interest engaging in "mission accomplished coitus." Those scenes are usually full of inarguable sexual implication. The three criteria I used are (1) Romance must occur in the scene and be shown or (2) Bond says something just before a scene cuts, which strongly implies he is going to bed with the woman in question or (3) as mentioned above, before the credits roll he and the heroine spend some QT together.



Dr. No (Sean Connery)



(#2) Miss Taro played by Zena Marshall is kind of an unwilling partner who lies with Bond while on duty working fo

r Dr. No.



(#3) Honey Ryder played by Ursula Andress is a Bond Girl that is up for debate. I included her in my count because of a note she leaves Bond at the end of the book, and because at the end of the movie they are shown making out after Dr. No's Island is destroyed. Many other Bond films end like this and there is a strong implication of that romance continuing.

From Russia With Love

Goldfinger

Thunderball

was Bond's first on-screen lady. She and him play baccarat before getting to know each other. She seduces Bond in his own apartment, where she was waiting for him.Sylvia Trench, Bond's first on-screen lover from Dr. No, is also his first tryst in From Russia With Love, but since she is the same character, just reprised, she is not counted a second time.The whole movie revolves around a naive Russian spy who seduces Bond — at the behest of SPECTRE [the fictional global terrorist organization featured in the novels and films] — namedandare two women involved in a cat fight at a Gypsy camp. Bond pleads that the hideous spectacle be stopped, and in doing so is asked to personally settle the dispute. Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendáriz) brings the girls to Bond’s caravan and says, “Vavra [Francis de Wolff] said for you to decide. So decide. They’re both yours.” Kerim laughs and Bond replies: “This may take some time.” The ménage à trois is implied, not seen.I did not include "Bonita" (Nadja Regin) because Bond leaves to catch a plane after he uses her head as a shield from a bad guy who he then electrocutes in her bathtub. "Shocking. Positively shocking." They most likely did have sex, but not during the film's timeline, which is the criteria for my entire answer. Same reason as above, they may have been lovers but not on screen, implied, nor is she mentioned afterwards which leads to the next scene with(who famously gets "painted to death in gold paint").Lies with Bond in a stable ironically right before commencing Auric Goldfinger's Operation Grand Slam. She fights him for a moment but then succumbs...This one is pretty straightforward.gets "seduced" by Bond after an attempt on his life at a spa where she is working.is a SPECTRE assassin who Bond once again finds in a bathtub (very convenient.)

(#11) Domino (Claudine Auger) is the character with whom Bond has the deepest connection with, but the only mention of them "fooling around" is when they come up from scuba diving and Bond states, "I hope we didn’t frighten the fish.” This is ambiguous at best, but considering they would have their mouths occupied by their scuba equipment, something more must have occurred. It was surprisingly difficult to find any screen caps from this scene (this one is low quality).



You Only Live Twice

"Ling" (possibly Tsai Chin) is seen lying in bed, some dirty talk ensues, then later she assists in an attempt on Bond's life. However, he tells Moneypenny later when asked how the girl was: “Oh, another five minutes and I would have found out.” She is often miscounted.is his first successful conquest of the film. They had previously met each other, and then later she surprises him while he is receiving a normal massage from another woman.

(#13) Helga Brandt (Karen Dor) is the third SPECTRE female assassin who basically just decides to have sex with Bond and prolong his death until the next day. She had him bound and could have killed him. “Ah, the things I do for England.”

(#14) His "bond" with Aki that seems very real is interrupted after she is murdered and he must go undercover as a Japanese man with a wife named Kissy Suzuki, a Japanese agent played by Mie Hanna. He marries her, beats Blofeld and they finally consummate the marriage in the obligatory we-made-it-out-alive-on-a-life-boat-love-scene, which occurs as the credits run.



Diamonds Are Forever

Diamonds Are Forever was made after On Her Majesty's Secret Service, hence the number count jumping.beds Bond of her own accord near the beginning of the film.

*He has a notable failed attempt with Plenty O'Toole who gets thrown off a roof.



On Her Majesty's Secret Service (George Lazenby)

Bond's second marriage (and last) was to a woman named. The relationship starts off rocky. He sees her at a casino and helps her out of a jam, he sleeps with her, falls in love, marries her and on the same day of their wedding she is assassinated.

Later in the film, while on mission and "grieving" Tracy, Bond arrives at a clinic for women who are supposedly being treated for various allergies. Two of the patients take a strong interest in Bond, and he ends up playing a "double header": (#16) Ruby (Angela Scouter), who writes her room number on his leg in lipstick during dinner with the other women...

... and (#17) Nancy (Catherina Von Schell), who catches him in the hallway while returning from his visit with Ruby.



Live and Let Die (Roger Moore)

opens the film at Bond's apartment (second time his home makes a film appearance) in an awkward improptu meeting with M and Moneypenny.

(#20) Rosie (Gloria Hendry), a bad-guy-henchwoman, who needs to be "protected" by Bond...





(#21) Solitaire, played by Jane Seymour, is his main love interest. He uses her belief in tarot and tricks her with a stacked deck of "Lover" cards.



The Man with the Golden Gun

Scaramanga's girlfriend,(who appears in three Bond movies), comes to 007's hotel room while he is in the middle of seducing his partner Goodnight. An angry Goodnight is then relegated to listening to them from the nearby closet.

(#23) In the end Bond, does spend some QT with Goodnight (Britt Ekland) during their post save-the-world "slow boat to China."





The Spy Who Loved Me

, is the Russian agent in Bond's arms as the film opens in the Alps, just before an epic ski chase.

(#25) "Arab Beauty" (Dawn Rodrigues) to Bond: “Are you quite sure I can’t persuade you to stay the night?” Bond: “When one is in Egypt, one should delve deeply into its treasures.”
