From sensual foreign films to surprisingly raunchy Hollywood fare.
There have been many steamy, iconic sex scenes in film, and most of them have been designed for male viewing pleasure. Historically, the female gaze — which represents the viewpoint of the female viewer — has been overlooked, largely because (shocker!) most of the erotic films that have been celebrated over the years were written and directed by men (think Blue Is the Warmest Color , Nymphomaniac , Y Tu Mamá También , Wetlands , 9 1/2 Weeks ). This isn’t that surprising, given that most of all movies ever made have been written and directed by men. Happily, though, even if men still overwhelmingly outnumber women behind the camera, more and more women directors have broken through in recent years — and some of the films they’ve made are very, very sexy.
The female gaze has suddenly all over television, seen in women-led shows like Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag , Issa Rae’s Insecure , and the adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Normal People . But as for the big screen , it’s still not quite as commonplace. When it comes to hunting down super sexy films directed by women, you'll notice that many of the filmmakers are queer; when the plot is about two women romantically involved , it’s more common to find a woman directing. Another thing that stands out is how many of the movies on this list were created by writer-directors who, by nature, are able to carry out a holistic artistic vision, from drafting the script to approving the final cut.
If you’re looking for a steamy film driven by the female gaze, check out one of the 23 sexy films made by women below.
Director and Screenwriter: Céline Sciamma
This movie is the new blueprint for a sexy, tension-filled story as told through the female gaze. In Portrait of a Lady on Fire , a young artist, Marianne (Noémie Merlant), is commissioned to paint the wedding portrait of aristocrat Héloïse (Adèle Haenel) in France circa 1770. As Héloïse’s nuptials inch closer, the two women fall for one another more and more.
Based on the book by Thomas P. Cullinan and directed by Sofia Coppola , The Beguiled features a star-studded cast and crazy sexual tension. It tells the story of an injured Civil War soldier (Colin Farrell ) who seeks refuge in an all-female Southern boarding school where the teachers and students (played by Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning) are more than a little eager to come to his aid.
Returning to Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne after having become the Queen of France at 16 and a widow two years later, Mary Stuart ( Saoirse Ronan ) faces the pressure to remarry — and to bend to the will of Elizabeth I ( Margot Robbie ), who officially rules the country. While this period drama doesn’t appear incredibly sexy from the outset, there are some very steamy bedroom scenes in which Mary meets with potential suitors .
Screenwriters: Clea DuVall and Mary Holland
Who doesn’t love a sexy holiday movie ? Featuring many sensual scenes and makeout sequences between Abby ( Kristen Stewart ) and Harper (Mackenzie Davis), Happiest Season tells the tale of a woman who hasn’t yet come out to her conservative parents, but brings her girlfriend home during Christmas.
Director and Screenwriter: Lorene Scafaria
Hustlers, inspired by a true story, follows a crew of savvy strippers who devise a scheme to take advantage of their Wall Street clients in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Featuring stars like Jennifer Lopez , Constance Wu, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Cardi B, and Lizzo , this sexy film — filled with incredible pole dancing scenes — is not to be missed.
Director and Screenwriter: Leslye Headland
Starring Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis , Sleeping With Other People is a perfect mix of comedy, romance, drama, and — you guessed it — sex. It follows as two serial cheaters who had a one-night stand 12 years ago. Now, they’re trying to maintain a platonic relationship despite their mutual attraction.
Director and Screenwriter: Sarah Polley
After Margot (Michelle Williams) has a steamy affair with an artist from her neighborhood, she finds herself questioning everything about the life she’s built for herself. This 2012 film also boasts a pretty revelatory 360-sex scene .
Director and Screenwriter: Gina Prince-Bythewood
There are few things sexier than the tension that builds during a heated athletic matchup. In Love & Basketball, the classic romance starring Omar Epps and Sanaa Lathan, director Gina Price-Bythewood builds a great romantic storyline around the characters' love for working up a sweat.
Directors and Screenwriters: Lana and Lily Wachowski
Before they dreamt up The Matrix , sisters Lana and Lily Wachowski directed the ultra-sexy crime drama Bound , which follows a lesbian con artist-turned-plumber who sparks up a romance with the girlfriend of a Mafia member. The film stars Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly and contains some super hot, unforgettable sex scenes . Thank you, Lana and Lily.
If you like your sexy movies with a major dose of horror, Jennifer's Body is for you. The sexual tension between Jennifer and Needy is palpable, with Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried both delivering some of the best performances of their careers.
Director and Screenwriter: Lisa Chodolenko (with Stuart Blumberg)
The revelatory The Kids Are All Right frankly portrays the complexities of long-term relationships and the spectrum of sexuality — all while delivering some realistic and very hot sex scenes.
This Canadian romantic comedy follows a woman, Maggie, who has recently struck up a relationship with another woman named Kim. When her mother and brother are forced to move into her apartment with her, Maggie feels the need to hide her relationship. This movie features a chocolate body painting scene between the lovers, so, you know, enough said.
Screenwriters: Katt Shea and Melissa Godard (with Andy Ruben)
A very young (17 years old, in fact) Drew Barrymore stars alongside Sara Gilbert in this sexy thriller. When private school girl Sylvie (Barrymore) strikes up a relationship with Ivy (Gilbert), her entire world spirals into chaos. It's hard to find online and not currently available on streaming services, but Poison Ivy is a cult classic worth the hunt and the watch.
Director and Screenwriter: Jane Campion
A mute piano teacher who’s married to a man she does not love embarks on a passionate affair in this movie that won three Oscars in 1993, including a Best Actress award for star Holly Hunter. The Piano is steamy, heart-wrenching, and beautiful.
Director and Screenwriter: Julia Leigh
This is a gorgeous, erotic film loosely inspired by the classic fairytale. Emily Browning stars as a university student who experiences a sexual awakening when she is initiated as a "Sleeping Beauty," a role for which she is sedated and presented in absolute submission to her clients.
Director and Screenwriter: Sofia Coppola
Kirsten Dunst stars as the titular queen, who parties hard and has an affair while her royal husband remains disinterested. It's a pastel, playful, and passionate reimagining of the story of the long villainized queen of France , and it's incredibly sexy to boot.
This sci-fi thriller is based around the premise that in the future, people can record all of their experiences using an illegal device built into their eyes. Naturally, there are a lot of people making bank by selling their very vivid sexual experiences .
Though directed by Todd Haynes, Carol, the gorgeous and touching romance between two women (played by Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara ) in the 1950s, was written by acclaimed playwright Phyllis Nagy. The film's most significant love scene is incredibly sexy, not to mention beautifully shot.
Director and Screenwriter: Nancy Meyers
Anyone with ageist views about who is allowed to be sexy should consult this romantic comedy, which stars Diane Keaton as a woman who has highly erotic relationships with two men, played by Keanu Reeves and Jack Nicholson.
Director and Screenwriter: Mira Nair
You know by the name that this one’s going to be pretty sexy. This film tells the story of two young women, a princess and a servant, who go live tumultuous lives full of romantic betrayal.
Directed by Atom Egoyan and written by Erin Cressida Wilson, Chloe is an erotic thriller starring the impossibly attractive actors Amanda Seyfried , Liam Neeson, and Julianne Moore. Watch as a skeptical wife hires a prostitute to lure her husband, hoping to learn if he’ll give into temptation.
Though directed by a man, Christian Molina, Diary of A Nymphomaniac — which lives up to its sex-centric name — was written by Cuca Canals. This Spanish-language film follows as a young girl who, full of lust, pursues a career as a sex worker.
Director and Screenwriter: Lisa Cholodenko
Two women — a photographer and assistant editor who prioritize their careers above all else, played by Ally Sheedy and Radha Mitchell — embark on an affair in this sexy 1998 indie film from Lisa Cholodenko, who also directed The Kids Are All Right .
All of these movies illustrate that the only thing better than a hot sex scene is a hot sex scene written or directed by someone other than a dude.

This list is about a very specific theme of film: Movies that are about sex and not much else. Don't get me wrong, these are great movies in their own right, but they're also stuffed with sex, sexual tension, and sexual tension broken by more sex. In other words, the perfect film to watch when you're in the mood for something super-sexy, but don't feel like a porn movie . Sometimes the sex is an integral part of the plot, sometimes it's just a happy byproduct of sexy situations in the storytelling, but either way, the heat level on these movies is a minimum of five fire emojis.
Here's the thing about sexy, sexy movies: They truly come in all shapes, sizes—and genres. Need proof? If so, just keep reading—the following list contains drama films, comedy films, and porn films disguised as mainstream movies (I'm looking at you, 9 Songs ). But what they all have in common is sex. Like, a lot of sex. The whole plot is basically just about sex. You get the gist.
Just your classic "bored housewife becomes a prostitute to spice up her humdrum life" story.
Affairs. Plotting. Murder. Crimes. Steamy sex worth killing for. This 1981 erotic thriller starring William Hurt and Kathleen Turner was based on the classic Double Indemnity and takes that basic idea (a woman and her lover plotting to murder her husband so they can be together—and get his money) and turns up the sex to eleven.
Basically mainstream porn with a plot. The "erotic historical drama" is about the rise and fall of real-life Roman emperor Caligula. Released in 1979, Caligula features unsimulated sex scenes and stars actual A-list talent like Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren.
Essentially the '80s version of Cruel Intentions with unintentional LOLs. Although young John Malkovich—surprisingly hot (even in a ridiculous wig)! Also, TW: rape .
The 9½ weeks in question refers to the length of the relationship of film's main couple—during which time they mostly have sex. It was considered too explicit by its U.S. distributor.
The whole movie's kind of been reduced to that scene. You know, that leg-crossing scene, featuring Sharon Stone's mile-long legs and not featuring any underwear. But the film also has a whole BUNCH of sex—sometimes rough, often sexy, usually with the fear that your partner might be a murderer. Casual!
Gina Gershon happily lets herself be seduced by her neighbor (Jennifer Tilly), whose husband is a jealous criminal. Drama (and more sex) ensues. Fun fact: The scenes were choreographed by a sex educator, and critics praised the film for its realism. So they're hot and empowering, all at the same time!
This 2016 erotic drama follows two very different women over the course of three days as they fall in love with (and make lots of sexy, steamy love to) each other.
This 2003 drama is about an American student in Paris who becomes involved with a brother and sister who are twins and act out, erm, ~fantasies~ together.
This erotic thriller follows a cop (played by Al Pacino) who is on the trail of a serial killer who is attacking people in New York City's gay S&M club scene.
This movie is proof that a film can be beautiful and heart-wrenching and also, like, 99 percent about sex.
The plot of this movie is literally two women meet in a club and then decide to get to know each other by having sex every hour, on the hour.
Sex and Lucía follows a woman (played by the gorgeous Paz Vega) who goes on a personal journey to a remote Spanish island after learning that her tortured artist boyfriend may have committed suicide. On the island, she runs into said boyfriend's former flame and a hot scuba instructor and, well, things happen.
This sexy film noir is trippy (after you watch, do yourself a favor and hop on Reddit to read the theories about it). But it also, as my college friend once told me excitedly, has a "surprise lesbian sex scene right in the middle of it."
Forget Fifty Shades (don't worry, it's coming, pun intended). Secretary dives into the kinky, BDSM-centric relationship between a boss and his new secretary, with so much detail. It's romantic and sweet and sexy AND still a tiny bit shocking. 10/10 would recommend.
This Kubrick masterpiece is basically three hours of trippy sex parties, marital relations and, well, extramarital relations.
In which an evil and vaguely incestuous brother-sister duo make a bet about claiming the virginity of the local "good girl." Honestly, no to this concept, but yessssssss to this movie.
Hugh Grant plays a man who meets an older writer confined to a wheelchair while on a cruise with his wife. Things take a turn for the sexy and strange when the older man decides to teach Hugh Grant's character his erotic skills so he can pleasure both of their wives. Yep.
Can you think of a more successful movie franchise that's fully just about sex? Didn't think so. Though to be fair, Fifty Shades Freed (opens in new tab) tried its best to have an actual plot.
Not to be confused with the 2004 Oscar-winner of the same name, 1996's Crash is about people with a sexual fetish for car crashes. Really.
This film puts the the erotic in erotic thriller, big-time. It features a whole bunch of sex—including a makeout sesh between Neve Campbell and Denise Richards, a threesome, and a full-frontal Kevin Bacon. The film's dark and twisted ( trigger warning: alleged rape, murder ) but also OTT in a sexy, ridiculous way.
This coming-of-age horror, inspired by the rather Freudian folktale vagina dentata (“vagina with teeth”), follows a teen who navigates her sexuality while dealing with the literal affliction, putting a feminist twist on the misogynistic myth.
This Korean drama film centers on a conman's quest to seduce a wealthy Japanese woman to steal away her inheritance. Emphasis on the seduction.
Another movie with unsimulated sex, In the Realm of the Senses is about a former prostitute who starts an affair with her employer, whose penis she ends up casually severing. We'll give you a moment.
The period drama is set just before World War I and delves into, among other things, the complicated relationship between famed psychologists Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. Those "other things" includes a BDSM relationship between Jung (played by Michael Fassbender) and his patient, Sabina Spielrein (played by Keira Knightley).
This movie is about the porn industry, so obviously sex is the metaphorical bow that ties everything together. Fun fact: Mark Wahlberg had a prosthetic penis for the film, and it's the only prop he kept from set.
This 2015 French arthouse movie premiered at Cannes and actually features unsimulated sex scenes in 3D. DAMN.
You might argue that this movie is actually pornography, and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong. The plot revolves around a couple who watch a bunch of their favorite indie bands play shows, and have a bunch of sex while they're at it. The sex is unsimulated and extremely graphic.
A secret agent in World War II is sent on a mission to seduce and assassinate a government official, only to find herself falling in love with the mark.
This movie is somehow simultaneously devastatingly sad and devastatingly sexy. There is some very rough (and tough-to-watch) sex, so FYI if that bothers you.
Meanwhile, Nymphomaniac is also about sex addiction, this time centering on a woman who recounts her sexual dalliances to a man over tea. (Totally normal tea-time conversation.) It can get super dark, FYI, ( TW: rape ) if you like your sex light and fluffy.
This Spike Lee classic follows Nola, a beautiful woman who doesn't believe in monogamy and juggles relationships with three men.
This 1990 movie took a literary love triangle (between author Henry Miller his wife, June—played by Uma Thurman—and writer Anais Nin) and made it the first movie to get an NC-17 rating.
With a title like The Concubine , is it surprising this movie makes the list? The story focuses on a young woman who is forced to become a royal concubine, only to find herself in a royal love triangle.
That scene with Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis though.
Shame is one of three movies about sex addicts on this list. It's now infamous for a jaw-dropping, full-frontal shot of Michael Fassbender, but it's also pretty dramatic and serious. So if you like your sex addiction with a side of comedy, may we present....
Another story about sexual awakening, the film centers around two teen boys in Mexico
