The ten best sex scenes in film
When Hollywood creates sex scenes, they do their best to film scenes that are sensual, sexy, and just filthy enough to get the audience a little hot and bothered. They take hours upon hours to choose the best songs to play in the background. The actors and actresses are professionals and cooperate in filming such a sensitive scene. And some scenes aren’t sexual in an erotic sense, but they do add another element to a character’s personality and story.
All in all, sex scenes are a big part of Hollywood, and doing them right can add to the plot of the R-rated movie that they’re in. This list is about those well-done sex scenes that make it into the re-watch lists of those who are awake late at night if you know what I mean. Although some movies with sex scenes feel like the plot wasn’t really calling for such a scene, they are often called in at the last minute by the studio, and the film crew does their best to make it work.
Note: many of these sex scenes are either cut or toned down because Youtube doesn’t allow too much nudity or sex in their videos.
The Shape of Water - with Sally Hawkins. Sex with mermaids is so last three centuries. Now we’re into gentle and benevolent fish monsters that can heal people. The main character Elisa falls desperately in love with a being from the ocean. They are drawn together because they are different, him being part fish and her not being able to speak. In this scene, Eliza floods the entire bathroom and makes watery love to her new scaly beau.
Brokeback Mountain - with Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. When this movie debuted, it was the talk of the entire country, because it was the first mainstream gay movie. In this movie, two cowboys fall in love as they herd sheep for another rancher. Although they never get together, they keep their romance going for over 20 years. In this scene, Ennis takes Jack’s virginity.
Black Swan - Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. This movie is about two ballerinas who both are trying to get to the next level and star in a major production. The sex scene between the two girls is very hot, as each girl claws at each other, and Mila Kunis goes down on Natalie Portman.
Shame - with Michael Fassbender as Brandon. This movie is about Brandon’s sexual addiction. He always needs to be masturbating, watching pornography, having sex, or thinking about sex. And in this scene, he travels to a gay club, even though he’s not gay or bisexual, where he gets a blowjob from another man, as he tries to drive away his self-loathing.
The Secretary - with Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader. Before there was Fifty Shades of Grey, this movie was a masterpiece. Secretary explored many BDSM fantasies and activities in colorful and consensual ways. There are many great scenes in their film, but this scene is the best, in our opinion.
Blue Valentine - with Ryan Gosling Anne Michelle Williams. This movie is about a married couple who are trying to keep it together, but they are quickly spiraling apart. The sexy was so graphic that the movie rating system gave this movie an NC-17, but after appealing, the movie’s rating was brought down to R.
Mr. And Mrs. Smith - with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. This mega Hollywood couple plays a husband and wife who are secretly spies for different agencies that go head to head. Right before this steamy sex scene, they spend nearly 10 minutes shooting, breaking, and demolishing their home as they try to kill one another.
American Psycho - with Christian Bale as Patrick Batemen. American Psycho is full of classic lines and scenes, but this sex scene has to be one of the best scripted and acted. Bateman is a grade-a narcissist and doesn’t care at all about the pleasure of the women he is with. In fact, at one point, he stares at himself in the mirror while he has sex with the prostitutes.
James Bond: Spectre - with Daniel Craig. James Bond is known for his ability to make love to women, no matter how many bullets are in him. And Spectre just adds to his sexual reputation. In this scene, he seduces a widow named Severina at her own husband’s funeral. This is a bold move, but only he can pull it off, for he is James Bond.
Eyes Wide Shut - With Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. You probably saw this last entry coming, but I know you understand why. This cult classic, directed by Stanley Kubrick, has captured the sexual curiosity of America. We are, of course, talking about the orgy scene in the mansion. This entire scene has no words and yet speaks volume about sexual encounters in the secret world of the rich and powerful
Bonus: The worst Sex Scene in Film
Unfortunately, when it comes to sex scenes in Hollywood, the bad that usually outweighs the good and this sex scene is one of those times.
The orgy in sausage party - We could join every religion on Earth, and ask every god why this movie was created, and we will never get an answer. Why Seth Rogen felt the need to have animated food participate in an orgy is something we’ll never know, but it exists in this world, and we have to live with it.
Conclusion
There are many great(and not so great) in film that it is hard to narrow down the best, but for now, we’ll choose these ten. A good sex scene is well-acted, well-choreographed, and does an excellent job of being sexual without being porny.
