And here’s where you can watch ’em all yourself. 😏
There’s nothing like cuddling up with your S.O. (and a whole bunch of snacks) on date night , only to end up fighting about what to throw on the TV. A scary movie ? A romantic comedy ? A thriller flick ? All great options, but to really make the most of your alone time, a sexy watch is where it’s at. If you feel like you’ve already seen every erotic movie on Netflix or hot film on HBO Max , though, don’t fret. There’s a ton of scorching ‘tent getting released all the time, and it turns out the newest sex movies of 2022 could basically double as (ethical!) porn ; they’re that hot.
Real quick, though, before we get to the good stuff, we just gotta remind you: It’s totally okay to watch movies purely for the sex scenes . You can even fast-forward to the sex if you’re looking for a lil self-pleasure inspo . There are no rules here, people! But if you feel like sitting down for an evening of ~cinema~ (or just want to put something on in the background that you can make out to) sexy movies are kinda tops. Granted, some of them are critically acclaimed, while others are…not as good?...but you still get the build of the tension between characters, and their long-awaited hookups either way. Decent plotlines and hot sex? We truly love to see it.
And TBH, 2022 sort of had it all by way of sex movies. There aren’t just P-in-V offerings anymore, folks. We’re talking longing glances, heavy breathing, and steamy chemistry between actors that eventually bubbles over into the kind of passionate scenes you definitely want to watch with your favorite vibrator at the ready. From orgies to oral sex , 2022 might have been the sexiest year for the movie industry, and for that, we’re orgasmically grateful.
Sure, it's a thriller/spy movie, but if we've learned anything from films surrounding agents, it's that the sexual chemistry is always off the charts (looking at you, Mr. & Mrs. Smith ). In one particularly scorching scene, Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton have wildly passionate sex that involves thumb-sucking. Thumb-sucking, I tell you!!!
What could go wrong when a group of sexual 20-somethings gets together for a hurricane party in a remote mansion? Well, a lot, but in between the satire, fake friendships, and—yup—murder, there's a whole lotta sex appeal as well. Also, seeing Pete Davidson say, “I look like I f*ck,” is lowkey art. I said what I said.
While a Viking movie might not *sound* hot, The Northman is full of nudity and sex, plus it features an orgy scene that proves people back in the year 895 were just like us! Supes horny! Also, FYI, the film stars icons like Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Willem Dafoe, so it's worth the watch for the faces alone.
A South Korean rom-com about two co-workers who enter a "play contract"? Yes, pls. In this take, though, Jung Ji-woo serves as a dominatrix, thus flipping the script on the usual "men are the dominate ones" typically seen in BDSM storylines.
Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller star in this oddly erotic sci-fi thriller surrounding experimental drugs. There are some major voyeuristic elements at play here, like when characters receive a love drug that causes them to have wild sex in front of an audience of all-too-interested observers...
Emma Thompson stars as Nancy, a retired teacher who’s never had an orgasm, so she hires Leo (Daryl McCormack) to, well, give her one (read: several ).
The chemistry between Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman makes this version of The Batman sexy as hell. Watch it now, thank us later.
This rom-com about a group of gay men who vacation in Fire Island every year is equal parts endearing and sexy. Between the hot make-out scenes, sexual energy, and will-they-won’t-they dynamics, you’ll be glad you watched, trust.
Remember when 365 DNI came out in 2020 and the internet collectively salivated over the sex scenes between Laura and Massimo? Yeah. Part 2 is out and you can watch it on Netflix rn. Disclaimer: The whole premise of these films is problematic as hell, so, uh, feel free to fast-forward to the good stuff and leave out the rest, k?
Technically, this was released in 2021, but it looks like it wasn’t available for streaming in the U.S. until this year. Author Jane Fairchild reflects on her early life as a maid having a ~very steamy~ affair with the aristocratic son of a neighboring family ( The Crown ’s Josh Charles). Based on a book of the same name, be ready for some hot secret sex.
A boring writer discovers he’s a massive hit in Mexico because his translator rewrote his book into a hot, hot erotic novel. The sex in this might be more on the page than onscreen, but, duh, it’s a rom-com, so be prepared for some art-meets-life hotness.
You remember “the movie where Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas started dating for a bit”? Well, this is that movie, an erotic thriller about a very unhappily married couple who are allowed to have all the affairs. It didn’t get a theatrical release , but the book features hot people having sex before bad things happen to them. So….
What happens when a group of adult-film actors move into an old farmhouse to film but said old farmhouse belongs to a creepy old couple and the wife is seriously disturbed? Tune in to find out.
Pleasure is about a porn star named Bella Cherry who's new to the game but will do whatever it takes to be the best in the biz. There's a whole lot to *ahem* see in this movie as Bella rises in the ranks of the Los Angeles porn industry.
That same Regency-era sexual tension that made you obsess over Bridgerton ? Yeah. You’ll find that here too. Right this way, fans of will-they-won't-they couples with copious amounts of sexual tension!
Just one look at Austin Butler as the iconic Elvis Presley tells you everything you need to know. See why The King's gyrating hips ushered in a whole new era of music (one that involved lusting after the musician who made said music).
Kristine Froseth plays a 26-year-old woman who is new to sex and starts an affair with her older boss. Ofc, drama ensues. Directed by Lena Dunham (who’s never shied away from sex before so you know it’s gonna be spicy) and featuring Luka Sabbat and Scott Speedman playing a successful online porn star , I mean…sign us up.
I know what you’re thinking: No way this movie is sexy when it’s about fighter pilots and combat. Well, false . Just wait for the football scene. (IYKYK.)
This is primarily a psychological thriller, but *not-so-spoiler alert* Florence Pugh and Harry Styles are hot and have terrific chemistry (+ multiple sex scenes between the pair focus on “female pleasure”). Oh, and considering how much drama surrounded the Don't Worry Darling release, it's worth a watch just to see WTF all the stars were *allegedly* fighting about.
Ana de Armas brings Marilyn Monroe to life based on a fictionalized book of the same name. There's a lot involved in Blonde ’s NC-17 rating, including a few sexually violent scenes. But there’s also plenty of hot consensual sex (including a celeb threesome!), so be ready to feel a range of emotions while watching the highly-anticipated flick.

What’s accepted and expected in the bedroom is always changing, and it’s no different as we enter 2022. Here’s a breakdown of the trends.
It’s no secret that views on sexuality and sex are an evolving thing, but how are attitudes shaping up for the year to come?
Lovehoney just released its 2022 Sex Trends Report, and it seems ethics have officially entered the bedroom (and it’s about time).
The wellness of our planet is an increasingly hot topic (sorry, bad pun), and while people have been seeking environmentally friendlier options in their wardrobes and cupboards for a while, now we expect the same from our sex toys.
Consumers are displaying a growing awareness of the manufacturing processes and chemicals used for intimate products. As a result, lubricants, period products and sex toys are increasingly released following stricter environmental standards.
“For many, eco-conscious sex involves opting for toys that are rechargeable and made with high quality materials that last for years and even decades,” explains sexologist and relationship expert Dr Jessica O’Reilly.
Sexual wellness is becoming more inclusive.
Societal stereotypes and prejudices have traditionally excluded some groups from openly exploring their sexual pleasure, but that’s beginning to change.
“Disability services historically haven’t included open discussion around sexual development and pleasure as part of their offering for clients,” explained sex and relationship therapist (and Lovehoney Group’s sexual wellness expert) Christine Rafe.
“Fortunately, with more mainstream acceptance of sex-positive education and promotion of sexual wellness products and services, we are starting to see these conversations being encouraged within the disability sector.”
Royal Rehab Sexuality Service Team Leader Candice Care-Unger agrees and feels it’s leading to a change in the market.
“Demand will drive fantastic new advancements in adaptive sex tech in the coming years that will make pleasure more accessible.”
Masturbation as a pain relief tool.
It’s no secret that masturbation is a fun time, but latest studies show that it’s also a great form of pain relief.
Pleasure brand Womanizer conducted a study in 2020 to discover whether masturbation could help with period pain. The answer was a big, fat yes.
A full 90 per cent of study participants would recommend masturbation to combat period pain, and in fact, nearly half of them (42 per cent) would recommend it over medication.
What’s more, 70 per cent of responders felt that regular masturbation had a long-lasting impact on lowering their pain intensity during a period.
Ethical non-monogamy is on the rise.
Increasingly, people are pulling away from traditional ideals of a relationship. Ethical Non-Monogamy is an umbrella term under which many types of non-traditional relationships fall, including polyamory, swinging or open marriages, and their appeal is on the up and up.
Even within monogamous relationships, couples are embracing a more liberal and diversified relationship structure.
“The perspective on what a ‘successful’ relationship is, is shifting,” says Rafe.
“People are starting to pay more attention to happiness on an individual level.
“This is not to say that long-term monogamous relationships cannot meet all the needs of a person (with ongoing communication, respect and learning), but I am observing people starting to question the concept of a ‘one’ person.
“There is a huge amount of power and freedom in creating our own version of relationship(s), one that allows maximum connection, pleasure and fun.”
Nadia Bokody reveals the uncomfortable question that people should ask before jumping into bed with somebody, in order to prioritise everyone’s pleasure.
A former model claims she was duped into giving up her career and livelihood for a man who demanded to have sex with her multiple times a day.
A man who’s recently started dating a “cute and funny” woman is distracted by one sexual habit she can’t shake.
