Are these famous sex scenes real or fake? You be the judge.
It should come as no surprise that steamy sex scenes are a given in most (if not, all?) R-rated movies. But if an actor reveals a body part other than the standard butt or nipple—or if, heaven forbid, there's a shot that features a stray penis or pubic hair—all hell breaks loose, at least, in the eyes of the Motion Picture Association.
That said, some intrepid Hollywood filmmakers have tried to capture real sex on camera before, and a handful of brave actors have copped to having legit PIV sex on screen. As a porn star and director , I feel uniquely qualified to weigh in on the verisimilitude of my favorite Hollywood sex scenes, so here are my favorite sex scenes that are rumored to be un-simulated (and the ones that 1000% totally were).
In this indie Canadian flick, two young people have sex. Again and again and again. In fact, there's so little plot because the movie is just one long sex scene. And the scenes are, in fact, very much real. "The actors trusted me implicitly," director Clement Virgo said at the time. "We never had the conversation, 'You're going to have sex.' But it couldn't be fake touching. It had to be truthful. If I believed what they were doing, I'd keep shooting. If I didn't, I'd stop shooting. But it was too embarrassing to say, 'Give a blow job.'"
Directed by Lars von Trier and starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg, the controversial Antichrist tells the story of a couple grieving over the loss of their toddler. The film opens with an explicit sex scene and it features a few close-up shots of penetrative sex (which featured body doubles and not the original actors). The plot is incredibly disturbing, so it's probably for the best that the sex isn't exactly real, but Gainsbourg's acting is incredible—you truly feel her grief and insanity.
This European sexploitation classic features hardcore penetration and in-your-face fellatio, which was performed by the actors/actresses in this movie and not by body doubles. The plot is kind of difficult to follow, but here's what I could gather: the main character's rich brother is dead and there's some sort of evil nun, all of which leads to lots of blowjobs. I'll allow it.
Helmed by French director Gaspar Noé, this movie was initially released in 3D, so one can only imagine how awkward (or awesome) that theatergoing experience was. In any case, there is so much explicit sex in this movie . There’s everything from romantic sex to drug-fueled sex to, of course, a giant orgy—and according to its cast, it was all totally unsimulated.
I don’t know how Noé found such a horny cast, but then again, it’s a French movie. And if there is anything I have learned from the research I have done for this story, it’s that everyone in French movies has a lot of sex, to the point where I'm not sure how anyone has time to do anything else. Why do I live here again?
A quirky and clever movie that follows Sofia (Sook-Yin Lee) as she embarks on a quest to have her first orgasm, Shortbus feels sort of like the NSFW prequel to Girls. Director John Cameron Mitchell once said that he had his actors have unsimulated sex because he wanted to “employ sex in new cinematic ways, because it's too interesting to leave to porn." Which is sort of rude to porn, but no matter — the sex is well-shot, and it looks like the actors are having a ton of fun. stream it here
This romantic film documents a 12-month rendezvous with a couple (Kieran O'Brien and Margo Stilley) that loves sex and rock and roll. They watch live music, they go on mini-vacations, and they bone. They are definitely #blessed, and you're just so happy for them the entire time that you can’t stop smiling. Plus, there's a beautiful, sun-lit cunnilingus scene involving a blindfold.
There’s a lot of hot sex in this movie. Carré Otis, who plays an inhibited lawyer, has a bunch of incredibly hot scenes with then-boyfriend Mickey Rourke. In fact, director Zalman King had to remove a scene in the theatrical release to ensure it had an R rather than an X rating, which was rumored to be an unsimulated sex scene. Otis has denied the rumors , but if you watch the scene (which lives on today on tube sites), there's some very genuine chemistry there.
One of the most infamous movies of all time, The Brown Bunny features an unsimulated oral sex scene between Chloe Sevigny and star/director Vincent Gallo. The movie got terrible reviews across the board, and the quality of the sex scene is no exception. It's grainy and awkward, with poor camera angles, and Gallo spends the entire time holding onto his shaft, out of either embarrassment of the size or the fact that he wasn't fully erect. Now that I'm a porn director and I've seen probably 17,000 on-camera blowjobs, this pales in comparison.
Like Antichrist, Don't Look Now is about a couple (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie) grieving the death of their child. While that doesn't sound like the sexiest plot in the world, the movie sensitively depicts how death affects a relationship—and in this case, it leads to very intense sex. For many years, it was rumored by people on set that Christie and Sutherland had unsimulated sex. Sutherland has denied it, but either way, this is some really serious softcore Skinemax action.
Directed by Lars von Trier (hey, the man likes shooting insane sex scenes), Nymphomaniac obviously features tons and tons of sex. But honestly, it's less sexy than a depressing glimpse into the life of a sex addict: one minute, you might want to go out and sleep with the next stranger you meet, and the next you might want to take a long, hot shower. Von Trier has stated that the film uses porn performers as body doubles for the actors, and that prosthetic vaginas were used in the sex scenes as well. But the double-penetration scene with Charlotte Gainsbourg and two African brothers named Papou and Kookie looks about as real as a DP gets.

We rank cinema’s best sex scenes, from steamy silent films to Hollywood’s lustiest comedies and beyond
A few years ago, a debate arose on social media about sex scenes in movies. ‘Sex scenes in movies are usually completely unnecessary, add nothing to the plot or character development, and just make me feel uncomfortable’, one Reddit user boldly stated. It seemed like an opinion that would instantly get shouted down by the commentariat. Instead, the vast majority of responses agreed with the post. 
Well, allow us to retort, in 101 different ways.
It’s certainly true that, in some ways, sex is superfluous. Those are what we call ‘bad movies’. You won’t find any of them on this list of cinema’s greatest sex scenes. What you will find are examples of sex as character development, or sex as a significant plot point. In some cases, sex is a punchline. In others, it’s downright horrifying. Indeed, cinematic sex is sometimes designed to make you feel uncomfortable. Other times, it’s simply meant to be arousing. And even if it only exists for pure titillation, there’s value in that, too.
Turn off the lights, take the phone off the hook and slip into something more comfortable. Here are the 101 best sex scenes of all time. As the man once said: let’s get it on.

Director: Nicolas Roeg Bedfellows: Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland
The film Working with a Daphne du Maurier short story, Roeg gives us Laura (Christie) and John (Sutherland), a married couple who travel from Britain to Venice for his job after losing their young daughter in a drowning accident.
The sex scene It’s a simple predinner sex scene in a hotel room, but the way Roeg shoots and edits it, and the manner in which the actors perform it, makes it extremely powerful.
Why is it so groundbreaking? It just feels so real. It’s also a rare sex scene that chimes in perfect harmony with the film around it. Their sex feels like both an expression of grief and a welcome respite from it. Most of all, the actors just look like they know what they’re doing. No wonder they’ve been denying the sex was real ever since.
Director: Ingmar Bergman Bedfellows: Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann
The film After the catatonic breakdown of stage star Elisabet (Ullmann), she and nurse Alma (Andersson) enter into a fluid, mesmerizing power struggle, also a meeting of the minds.
The sex scene In a semidarkened room, Alma relates a tale of sex on the beach with her girlfriend and a pair of underage boys, an incident with dire consequences.
Why is it so groundbreaking? A classic sex scene with no actual sex in it? That's expert-level, folks. It helps to be Ingmar Bergman, the master director who could wring a heartbreaking monologue out of a shoe. Andersson's matter-of-fact relation of graphic acts makes the scene unbearably hot. The moment was often cut from prints by concerned censors. Famously, Roger Ebert wrote, ‘The imagery of this monologue is so powerful that I have heard people describe the scene as if they actually saw it in the film.’
Director: Ang Lee Tentfellows: Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal
The film Based on Annie Proulx’s story about the love affair between two cowboys, Ang Lee’s beautiful, swooning film starred Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as range hands who fall in love. 
The sex scene It gets mighty cold up there in the hills of Wyoming. After a night drinking whiskey, the ranchers huddle up for warmth, and then…
Why is it so groundbreaking? Ang Lee put gay sex in the mainstream. Conservatives accused the film of promoting a gay agenda, but don’t they always? Brokeback Mountain picked up three Oscars from eight nominations in 2006, but not Best Picture (which went to Crash ). Some critics, including Roger Ebert, believed homophobia factored in the voting.
Director: William Heise Bedfellows: May Irwin, John Rice
The film At just 18 seconds long, ‘The Kiss’ (sometimes known as ‘The May Irwin Kiss’) is one of the earliest films to be shown to the public. Directed by William Heise for Thomas Edison, it recreates a kiss from a popular musical of the time, The Widow Jones .
The sex scene To be honest, it’s barely a kiss; there’s definitely no tongues or bodily fluids exchanged as actor John Rice tweezes his moustache in preparation before he goes in for what is more of a peck. 
Why is it so groundbreaking? Officially the first ever film to feature two people kissing, it caused an uproar, with one commentator writing that it was ‘beastly enough in life size on the stage, but magnified to gargantuan proportions and repeated three times over, it is absolutely disgusting.’ Sounds like a film critic to us.
Director: Nagisa Oshima Bedfellows: Tatsuya Fuji, Eiko Matsuda
The film Oshima’s 1976 masterpiece – the crown jewel of a career hell-bent on upsetting the establishment – recounts the true story of the all-consuming sexual obsession that blossomed between a hotel owner and his new employee in 1936 Tokyo.
The sex scene How do we pick just one? A marvel of escalation, In the Realm of the Senses is an almost constant stream of increasingly perverse sex acts. To isolate any moment from the maelstrom of deviant (and unsimulated) behavior would be arbitrary by default. Nevertheless, we’d argue the sequence that most pushes the boundaries occurs when Kichizo (Fuji) inserts a hard-boiled egg into the vagina of his new bride, Sada (Matsuda), in full view of the people serving them dinner. He then instructs Sada to squat like a hen and lay the egg on the floor before he eats it. In most films, the pain that Sada experiences would immediately classify the act as sexual assault, but In the Realm of the Senses renders our judgments irrelevant.
Why is it so groundbreaking? Even for generations raised on free Internet porn, the acts on display in Oshima’s movie are still taboo. In the Realm of the Senses was the first nonpornographic film to include blow jobs, and there’s a very graphic one prior to the scene of food insertion. But it’s only when you watch that egg disappear that you begin to comprehend the full extent of the film’s transgression.
Interrogation roomfellows: Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas, Newman from Seinfeld
The film It’s the erotic thriller that spawned countless pale imitators. Starring Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell, a novelist suspected in a string of very sexy murders, and Michael Douglas as the cop desperate to get her in handcuffs… if you know what we mean. 
The sex scene Brought in for questioning, Tramell gets a roomful of already sweaty cops even more hot and bothered by casually describing the deviant sex she used to have with her ex who’s recently been ice-picked to death. Then she uncrosses her legs, revealing that being a successful mystery writer doesn’t pay enough to afford her undergarments. Poor thing.
Why is it so groundbreaking? Basic Instinct contains several graphic, often violent depictions of actual intercourse, but nothing made ‘90s audiences gasp more than a fleeting shot of female genitalia. The moment was parodied endlessly, which took some of the scandal out of it - Seinfeld even recreated the scene with a profusely sweating Wayne Knight grilling Jerry about mail fraud. At the time, though, it was genuinely shocking to see a woman’s anatomy weaponized so salaciously. Stone later claimed Verhoeven misled her about the amount of skin that would make it to screen, but she’d get some measure of indirect revenge by participating in the awful sequel, which he had nothing to do with. 
Director: Martin Scorsese Bedfellows: Willem Dafoe, Barbara Hershey
The film Bluntly adapting Nikos Kazantzakis’s novel of the same name, Scorsese’s most controversial film portrays the Son of God as a fallible man, liable to the vices and temptations with which all human beings must contend.
The sex scene While nailed to the cross, an angel appears to Jesus and leads him on a guided hallucination of the life he might have lead. That life includes Jesus fathering a child with Mary Magdalene, and it turns out that sex is the best way to do that. Sure, it’s all a dream, and thus rather theologically protected, but that didn’t stop people from losing their minds over it.
Why is it so groundbreaking? It’s Jesus Christ having sex. That’s not exactly what he’s known for.
Director: Frank Capra Not-quite-bedfellows: Claudette Colbert, Clark Gable 
The film A slapstick comedy starring Claudette Colbert as a spoiled heiress running away to elope with the wrong guy. Clark Gable is the disgraced reporter she meets on the bus to New York City. Her plan changes. 
The sex scene No sex here, just a tricky situation: Colbert and Gable are forced to spend the night together in a hotel room (pretending to be husband and wife) when their bus breaks down. Gable hangs a sheet between their twin beds for modesty’s sake.
Why is it so groundbreaking? Because sheet or no sheet, this was the era of Hays Code censorship, intended to stamp any whiff of misbehavior.
Director: Gustav Machaty Bedfellows: Hedy Lamarr, Aribert Mog
The film Czech director Machaty’s overheated melodrama about an impotent husband, a frisky young wife and the beau who spots her skinny-dipping made an international icon of 19-year-old Hedy Kiesler. US customs burned an uncensored print, but it didn’t stop MGM’s Louis B. Mayer from signing up the starlet, renaming her Hedy Lamarr and launching a new Hollywood goddess.
The sex scene Hedy’s much-cut nude swimming brought her notoriety, though even more groundbreaking is a semiclothed love scene, where the camera rests on her face as passion mounts. Note also the highly symbolic string of pearls falling to the floor.
Why is it so groundbreaking? It’s nothing less than the first onscreen female orgasm.
Director: Lawrence Kasdan Bedfellows: Kathleen Turner, William Hurt
The film A decade before Basic Instinct launched the era of the mainstream erotic thriller, Lawrence Kasdan reinvented film noir for a sophisticated modern audience with this sweaty tale of scheming femmes fatales.
The sex scene After chasing her around for days like a puppy in heat, Hurt’s smug lawyer Ned Racine finally tracks temptress Matty Walker (Turner) to her lair. Enticed by her come-hither eyes (‘You’re not too smart, are you? I like that in a man’), he smashes a window and dives into her waiting arms.
Why is it so groundbreaking? Most movies use sex either as cheap titillation or
