Everyone has a favorite genre: comedy , romance , horror . Those are, of course, the popular ones—or at least the most commonly checked fields when making polite conversation. But there's another element that, one way or another, we're all seeking out, all the time. Sexiness. Movies that evoke the all-too-often taboo topics of intimacy and attraction and lust . These works exist beyond the confines genre, because sex is pervasive; it has a way of making its way into all parts of our lives.
So, anyway, let's get on to what you want: the sexiest films currently available to stream on Netflix. Don't try to put sex in a box (though, there's probably a movie where someone has tried to do just that). There's something below for everyone. Embrace it. And once you're finished here, be sure to check out our list of the sexiest films ever made .
The raunchy side of sexy can still be sexy, and this film proves it. The satire from the 2000s is a perfect encapsulation of all the clichés of teen movies, but subjects those works only flirt with, this one goes all the way.
This queer-adjacent movie is also a thriller, a satire, and perhaps a touch of a horror film? It also features way more skin than it should be allowed to, but it works.
Sam Levinson's black and white Netflix creation may have been met with middling reviews, but the film's co-stars gave such an electrifying performance that reviewers forgave the film's downfalls. Starring Zendaya and John David Washington, the film follows an intimate evening following a couple's night out. Dripping in sexual energy, emotion, and chemistry, the film is a cocktail of sexiness.
Starring Nicholas Hoult and Laia Costa, Newness follows a couple from the launch of their relationship through all the trials they face after moving in together.
Jessica Chastain is the lead (again!) in Tate Taylor's 2020 film about a sexy assassin who has to work against the odds to reunite her family without becoming an assassination target herself.
Jezebel takes a look at a different side of the sex work industry, exploring the complexity of being a cam girl. In the film, a woman follows her sister's lead and begins her own webcam shows, but what follows is more complicated than simply signing on and turning a camera on for tips.
Elisa and Marcela tells the true story of the first same-sex marriage in Spain, in which two women, Elisa Sánchez Loriga and Marcela Gracia Ibeas, posed as a heterosexual couple so they could marry in 1901.
This psychological horror from director Daniel Goldhaber stars Madeline Brewer as Alice, a cam girl who finds that her online identity has been taken over by a doppelgänger of herself, who is seducing men that mysteriously vanish.
This Spanish film follows the passion and trials of the romance between Laura and Carlos, directed by Esteban Crespo.
Directed by Yuki Tanada, and adapted from her own novel, Romance Doll follows the marriage of Japanese couple Sonoko and Tetsuo, the latter of whom works as a sculptor creating sex dolls.
A struggling couple Jibran (Kumail Nanjiani) and Leilani (Issa Rae) are framed for a crime and set off on a hilarious adventure to clear their names.
For any little boy who has ever had a babysitter a few years his senior, this film will strike a bit of nostalgia for those adolescent fantasies. For any little boy whose babysitter also dabbled in the occult and threatened to kill him, let this listicle serve as a trigger warning.
Ali Wong and Randall Park have incredible chemistry in Netflix’s Always Be My Maybe. The film is practically embedded with sexual tension, as the two main characters have an intimate past that gets re-explored 15 years after the fact.
The true story of the most debauched rock group ever, The Dirt follows Mötley Crüe through the heady days of the 1980s as the heavy metal band becomes as famous for their love of sex and drugs as much as their rock and roll.
Spike Lee's first feature film is an indie black-and-white comedy starring Tracy Camilla Johns as a young woman in Brooklyn who juggles three potential boyfriends.
The shocking directorial debut from Elizabeth Wood follows Leah, a young college student in New York who falls for the wrong guy—and will go to extreme lengths to keep him in her life.
Rocco Siffredi offers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at his life as a porn star on the eve of his retirement from the business.
You may have heard about Chris Pine's full-frontal scene, which is barely sexy. But his love scene with co-star Florence Pugh is certainly hot and heavy.
Game of Thrones ' Natalie Dormer co-wrote this sexy thriller about a blind woman who hears her neighbor's (Emily Ratajkowski) murder, which sends her down a dark rabbit hole or violence and corruption.
Director Miguel Arteta co-wrote the screenplay for this comedy with Alia Shawkat, who stars as one half of a couple (alongside Laia Costa) that meets at a club and discovers intimacy through frequent sex.
A playful round of S&M goes terribly wrong in Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King's psychological horror film starring Bruce Greenwood and Carla Gugino.

As mainstream Hollywood lags behind in meaningful explorations of sexuality, these provocative short films embrace the unusual tapestry of human predilections.

She Knows

As film festivals pivot to the ever-shifting landscape of distribution and sales, the way we consume independent film is changing more dramatically than anyone could have predicted. Audiences can now experience a wider variety of films online, opening a world of possibilities that will hopefully benefit smaller films. With any luck, the new reality will broaden movie lovers’ horizons enough to include short films , which U.S. audiences can be reluctant to embrace. Most filmmakers begin to craft their voices with shorts, and given the significance of making a strong first impression, the format encourages creative risks. What’s more, younger and emerging filmmakers naturally have a finger on the pulse of more progressive ideas, ensuring a broader range of perspectives.
While mainstream Hollywood struggles to address human sexuality in any meaningful way, these four recently-released short films explore sex and desire with a refreshing playfulness. Whether it’s a feminist genre take on actual bloodlust, or a comedy about an erotic encounter where the two people never touch, these films celebrate the full spectrum of human desire. They’re all available online, though you’ll have to head over to YouTube for the more explicit titles, and each one has its own unique vibe.
Though dealing swimmingly with sexual themes, this daring drama pushes the envelope a bit too far to be considered flat-out sexy. Rather, Australian filmmaker Renée Marie Petropoulos uses sexuality as fertile ground to explore the complex connection between a mother and daughter, and each woman’s complicated relationship to her own sexuality. A quintessential “cool mom” throws a raucous pool party for her wide-eyed teenage daughter, eerily pushing her to flirt with the boys. The older woman saunters in her loose caftan doling out Jello shots, sucking down a cigarette after some boys toss her in the pool with the rest of the teenagers. As her daughter looks on — whether in shame, disgust, or normal teenage angst — an ocean of pain is shared in the glances between the two.
When a cunning teenager steals a dildo and harness from her local sex shop, she suddenly finds herself empowered beyond the imaginations of her small-minded boyfriend. Emboldened by the high of her new toy, she exudes a new confidence in front of her friends, who seem devoted to conventional gender roles. She quickly grows tired of being shut out of the boys’ games, and poses a unique dare to the young men in her circle. But her confidence is rewarded when her macho lover surprises her in exciting ways.
This funky little documentary explores the world of custom-order porn, a niche filmmaking enterprise designed by married couple Dan and Rhiannon Humes. Though they began their career in mainstream porn, the duo soon recognized an opening for user-designed content. Customers approach them with fantasies, whether to explore a specific fetish or to revisit an erotic childhood memory, and the Humes then craft them into bespoke porn. The film shows the coupe lugging camera equipment around their California home, interviewing the performers, and recounting customers and requests that stuck with them. Many of the scenarios are surprisingly moving, like the guy who just wants to see a pretty girl call him “honey” and “love.”
Three films in, and director Mathew Puccini has pretty much covered the gamut of queer experience. With a light touch and a lyrical eye, Puccini’s shorts play like a moving triptych of quietly pivotal moments in the lives of queer men. “The Mess He Made” starred Max Jenkins as a man waiting for the results of an HIV test, and “Lavender” featured Michael Urie as half of a couple who invite a younger third into their longterm relationship. “Dirty” explores the awkwardness of a more universal folly — bottoming for the first time. As always in Puccini’s work, the characters are tender and natural; the images aglow with intimacy.
The most erotic film ever made about a window washer, “Squeegee” follows a delightfully weird tryst between a career woman and the scruffy younger man who washes her office windows. The 10-minute short is almost entirely devoid of dialogue, instead relying on a moody jazz score that wouldn’t be out of place in a noir. Lead actress Amy Rutherford embodies her frisky businesswoman with an empowered girlishness, communicating everything from desperate lust to soulful longing with nothing more than a few subtle looks. The glass that separates the two characters is both a literal safety barrier as well as representative of the often murky disconnect between fantasy and reality. Written and directed by Morgan Krantz, “Squeegee” is an entertaining comedic interlude that has a lot to say about the human condition. You’ll never look at window washers the same way again.
“I find sex to be pretty absurd, and I wanted to show that,” Krantz told Short of the Week , which premiered “Squeegee” in late May. “I’ve also been in relationships with people where we both know there is no practical way to really be together. But when you’re having one of these ‘flings,’ I have found that it can actually be easier to express how wild you are about a person… because you both know that you can never end up together. So that’s the glass between these two characters.”
Lithe and full of longing, a young Italian embraces his provocative drag persona in this short and sensual documentary. Vincenzo is a young queer artist from Naples, Italy who performs cabaret-style drag at La Boum, Milan’s premiere gay club. His soul-searching voiceover narrates visually sumptuous footage of his performances, interspersed with more traditional community scenes of life in Naples. Whether he’s going by Vincenzo, Ambrosia, or Vincenzo D’Ambrosia, the film celebrates his shifting identity as he explains that the very act of naming himself is both confusing and empowering. While he appears confident and beautiful onstage, behind the scenes Ambrosia bounces between concerns about being pretty or feminine enough and feeling like he’s letting down his family every time he puts on a heel. Director Peter Spark expertly crafts this glittery dance between art and artist, allowing the harshness of Ambrosia’s inner monologue to exist side by side in beautiful contrast with his enthralling stage persona.
A young woman anxiously awaits a special visitor in a quaint roadside motel room in this surprising and humorous gore-inflected genre morsel. When her young and lanky massage therapist arrives, he isn’t exactly one for small talk, immediately putting her even more edge. Writer/director Meredith Alloway takes center stage as the eager client; she’s natural and open opposite a deliciously creepy Peter Vack. Following a string of TV roles in shows like “Mozart in the Jungle” and “Homeland,” Vack distinguished himself as a filmmaker with the highly controversial “Assholes,” which premiered at SXSW in 2017, prompting IndieWire’s David Ehrlich to call it “one of the most disgusting movies ever made.” While “Deep Tissue” is more provocative than disgusting, the final reveal is in line with Vack’s own filmmaking philosophy. Keep ’em on their toes, and they’ll eat it right up. You can watch “Deep Tissue” via The Future of Film Is Female.
Quirky and unnervingly erotic, this whimsical stop-motion animation celebrates all kinds of bodies and predilections. The film debuted as part of Sundance Film Festival’s 2018 Midnight Shorts Program, and premiered online as a Vimeo Staff Pick last year. The films spies on different creatures in bed, from lesbian nuns to gender-blending lovers. Animator Michaela Olsen wanted to show “the lives people lead behind closed doors,” and while her intricately crafted figures aren’t all people, each character channels a unique persona even in their brief scenes. “I wanted to play on the idea of seeing every detail of the characters’ worlds and secrets,” Olsen told Vimeo . “They’re opening up their world to you as a viewer and showing you their true selves.”

As sweater weather arrives and things get downright chilly outside, temperatures are still sizzling on Netflix.
The holiday season is here! As temperatures drop outside, Netflix is cranking up the heat indoors! Things are positively sizzling on the streaming service. For this list of the sexiest movies now on Netflix, we're including erotically-charged thrillers and dramas, films with red-hot chemistry front-and-center, and more. This adult movie list features classics and new favorites from around the world, theatrical releases as well as Netflix originals.
Here are the steamiest and sexiest movies on Netflix right now.
Co-produced by Rashida Jones , Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus ' adults-only doc examines the evolving world of amateur porn, specifically following the lives of several 18 and 19-year-old actresses. Followed by limited series Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On , also streaming on Netflix.
Based on Joyce Carol Oates ' fictionalized account of the life of Marilyn Monroe , Andrew Dominik 's much-hyped drama stars Ana De Armas as one of classic Hollywood's foremost icons. The biggest headlines surrounding Blonde 's release were due to the picture's NC-17 rating; it's the highest-profile film released with the infamous stamp in some time.
Dominik's three-hour film is occasionally riveting, alternately bloated, self-indulgent, often unpleasant, even cruel. De Armas' performance is genuinely astonishing, deserving of major awards attention.
Following his brilliant, underrated knockout black dramedy Beatriz at Dinner , Miguel Arteta helmed this experimental sex comedy about lesbian lovers ( Alia Shawkat and Laia Costa ) who meet at a club, then get to know each other via having sex every hour on the hour for a solid day.
Directed by Daniel Goldhaber , this Netflix original is about an adult webcam performer who discovers a sinister presence has taken her place on the internet . Cam has some truly frightening moments, and it examines the subject matter of sex work with appropriate care and thought. Most notably, it showcases a head-turning lead performance by The Handmaid ‘ s Tale ‘s Madeline Brewer , often playing multiple entities on-screen at the same time. Thanks to a perceptive script by real-life former cam girl Isa Mazzei , Cam is often an examination of fractured identity, something that’s definitely not limited to the world of adult entertainment. Cam stumbles a bit at the ending, but it’s full of provocative ideas, and Brewer just floors you.
Anna-Maria Sieklucka and Michel Morrone in '365 Days'
In this massive hit for the streaming service, a smokin' hot babe with an air of innocence about her is kidnapped by a mafioso who happens to be a 10/10 chiseled stud. The crime boss gives the young lady one year to fall in love with him; sexy antics ensue!
365 Days is essentially Fifty Shades of Grey with Italian flavor. The storytelling is as clunky Fifty Shades , and the story has been equally chided for its misogynistic undertones. None of that prevented the skin flick from becoming one of Netflix's biggest successes of the year. The envelope-pushing nudity and sexual content helped it become the domain's most-watched movie in summer 2020.
Around the one-hour, seven-minute mark, lies "the boat scene," one of the most intense and graphic sex scenes in a mainstream picture in years. Brace yourself.
Esteban Crespo 's Goya Award-nominated picture stars María Pedraza and Pol Monen as young lovers whose intense passion could be their relationship's downfall. In Spanish with subtitles.
Starring Nicholas Hoult and Laia Costa , this sexy drama follows two Los Angeles-based millennials who hit it off after meeting via a hookup app. Directed by Drake Doremus and written by Ben York Jones , Newness premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, to mixed-to-positive critical notices.
Released on Netflix earlier this summer, this French-produced raunchfest centers on three forty-something female friends who begin hot n' heavy affairs with much younger men. Be super, super careful when Googling this one.
Some stunning eye candy (those cheekbones on star Félix Maritaud !) punctuates this powerful, acclaimed coming-of-age drama. Young gay love is part of the plot, so is devastating tragedy. Like the bodies on display, this plot is a beauty, told in non-linear fashion with some suspense and surprise. To ruin it would
