Unless you're in the company of your Mum or Dad, these movie sex scenes are a complete turn-on.
Cinema has been around for over a century and in that time it has produced some stellar sex scenes, providing a flood of serotonin to the body like no other. They can be funny, intense, romantic and even awkward but if you can’t watch porn, there’s always the cinematic standby.
See our list of the 15 best sex scenes in film below.
1. Risky Business (1983)
Having sex on the train is a case of risky business and makes this scene in the 1980s flick a major hit.
2. Basic Instinct (2002)
The sex scenes between Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas in this film are raunchy as hell. This sex scene used no body doubles and took five days to film.
3. Mr and Mrs Smith (2005)
Granted, it’s a mediocre flick but the sex scene is captivating. The chemistry between the world’s hottest stars is so captivating and so bloody obvious, it makes you wonder how Jennifer Aniston didn’t see it coming when Pitt signed on to the film.
4. Black Swan (2010)
Mila Kunis going down on Natalia Portman…check. It’s raw, physical and a huge turn-on in this psychological thriller.
5. Match Point (2006)
Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys Meyers having sex in an open field in the pouring rain? Yep. The remote may have been injured with the hard-pressing on the rewind button for this one.
6. Original Sin (2001)
What it lacks in critical acclaim, ‘Original Sin’ makes up for in its outrageously steamy sex scenes between Jolie and Banderas. In fact, this scene was so hot it still has people talking about whether or not the sex was simulated.
7. Die Another Day (2002)
Bond films are known for having some of the best sex scenes in movies and a lot of the time, this comes down to the ridiculously attractive stars.
8. Thelma & Louise (1991)
Brad Pitt and Geena Davis deliver in this steamy scene that is one of the most iconic in pop culture.
9. Boogie Nights (1997)
With the plot of the movie involving Mark Wahlberg’s character trying to make it in porn, you can guarantee that you’ll see some pretty good sex scenes. In particular, the scene with Julianne Moore, who plays a veteran porn star, gets out vote.
10. Atonement (2007)
There’s nothing sexier than two immensely attractive people going at it a few rooms down from a huge dinner party.
11. Jerry Maguire (1996)
Tom Cruise and Kelly Preston deliver a sex scene like no other. The sex is rough and straight after, they appear naked in the kitchen, eating fruit. Everything about it is hot and nothing is left to the imagination here.
12. Pretty Woman (1990)
This scene is hot. And involves a piano. Whilst it might be rather difficult to recreate this in real life, part of the allure of this scene is just how raw and real Roberts and Gere make it feel.
13. Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
We’re beginning to wonder if the off-screen couples make for steamier sex scenes on-screen? Either way, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise engage in lots and lots of kinky sex in this film.
14. Love And Other Drugs (2010)
The chemistry between Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway is undeniable in this movie and makes for great sex scenes.
15. Shame (2011)
Michael Fassbender’s exhibitionist ways in this scene are quite the turn on, in a film about a man’s addiction to sex.
