We love a rom-com as much as the next person, but sometimes, all we want to do is watch some pure, unadulterated sex scenes. So long as a rogue sexy movie scene doesn’t ambush you whilst watching what you thought was an innocent movie with your family, we’re all for being transported to the land of lust in the form of a movie sex scene.
And while sex is sex, that’s not to say that all sexy movie scenes are created equal. We all know that there are some which go the distance in terms of getting pulses racing, and getting us hot under the collar, but others take a slightly different approach with such heart-pumping tension and subtle body movements that they leave you feeling like you might need a lie down.
Whether you’re watching solo, getting in the mood with a date (hello, Netflix and chill!), or looking for options for a girl’s night with your pals, there is something about a perfect sexy movie scene that makes us weak at the knees. Sure, you can check out the sexiest movies on Netflix to stream or even some erotic thrillers for a darker twist, but we have pulled together a list of the more specific moments in some of our favourite films that you can enjoy.
These scenes are just as steamy, passionate, and undoubtedly sexy, as when they first landed on the silver screen. So, snuggle down with some popcorn (or maybe your favourite silent sex toy – hey, we’re not judging), and enjoy the sexiest movie scenes straight out the gate. Who needs porn when Netflix and chill exists, right? Without further ado, here are the 25 sexiest movie scenes of all time.
