A sex scene in a movie has to accomplish a lot. Far from just depicting two characters (or more) doing it, a love scene should progress the story in some way, or tell the audience something new that they didn't know about a character before. Ideally, a good sex scene should also be hot, without being exploitative of the actors, or perpetrating demeaning tropes and cliches about sex. It should also just be fun and entertaining in all the ways a sex scene should be.
For filmmakers, writing and directing sex scenes can be like walking a tightrope, with "too explicit" on one side, and "cringeworthy" on the other. Here are several moments from film which we feel thread that needle expertly, including a number of handpicked scenes from porn star and director Joanna Angel.
Atonement is a film about war, love, class differences, and regret, but mostly it's a film about two people who are incandescently horny for each other. The scene in which Robbie and Cecilia finally consummate their long-simmering attraction in the library during a fancy dinner party is one of shadows and muted gasps, which heighten the sense of intimacy as well as the scandalous nature of the act—which will be tragically misinterpreted by an onlooker.
Joanna Angel: It’s always about 10 to 20 degrees warmer in the Valley than it is in the rest of Los Angeles. In 2 Days in the Valley ( featuring a young Charlize Theron in her first lead role), James Spader uses the heat as an excuse to put ice cubes all over Theron’s nipples and thighs. The movie itself isn't great, but the scene features Charlize Theron in an all-white lace bodysuit, so there's that.
We'd be remiss not to include the E.L. James series which birthed so many steamy sex scenes, we could not possibly count them all. From moments in the Red Room to shower sex of all kinds, here's a look at some of the best.
Not only does this scene sell the hell out of Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen's sexual chemistry, it also subverts expectation by having Theron's character (a workaholic politician) by the one who is freaky in the bedroom. It's rare for rom-coms to be so bawdy, and even rarer still for the female character to be the one who gets to express their desires and expectations in the bedroom.
Joanna Angel: As a porn director, I know there are many, many logistical issues that come with shooting sex in a swimming pool. If there's too much sun, it can cause unflattering reflections; if there's not enough sun, that's a problem, too. (Who wants to see people getting it on in a pool on a cloudy day?). Plus, there's inevitably going to be at least one girl on set who's like, "I hope this isn't a problem, but I can't get my hair extensions wet." (You're shooting a sex scene in a swimming pool. Of course it's a problem.)
But in the 1998 classic Wild Things, Neve Campbell and Denise Richards have the perfect pool sex scene, all without freaking out about their extensions. After almost beating the crap out of each other, they make out under the perfect moonlight before seamlessly segueing into a steamy sex scene. It's Hollywood. Anything can happen.
Ennis and Jack's first sexual encounter in the tent is urgent and raw (in every sense), and is a pivotal moment in the story. It also sent out some pretty inaccurate information regarding the act of anal sex to viewers, many of whom had never seen it depicted on-screen before.
At this point in the movie, Quincy and Monica have known each other since they were kids, and their first love scene encapsulates that culmination of years of attraction, as well as the sheer awkwardness of crossing that line with your best friend. Set to a sultry rendition of 'This Woman's Work', the scene gives the two characters time and space to be naked in front of each other, both figuratively and literally, before they have sex.
Joanna Angel: The ideal English major jerk-off material, this sex scene featuring Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes as Viola de Lesseps and William Shakespeare is truly something special. It’s "making love" in the truest sense of the word: it's just two people passionately melting into each other's bodies.
In Meet Joe Black , Brad Pitt's body is taken over by Death himself, and Pitt plays the character as one who is full of mystery and secret knowledge. Claire Forlani, meanwhile, is 100 percent human, and it is she who guides Pitt through what is essentially his first sexual experience in this scene which explores the innocent, loving side of Death.
Joanna Angel: When I was a teenager, I can’t tell you how many times I scribbled in my diary, threw it at the window…. and hoped for a handsome charming murderer to be waiting on the other side of it. Alas (or, I guess, thankfully?), this never happened. But I'll always have this adorable scene featuring disgruntled teen Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) and equally disgruntled yet also psychotic teen JD (Christian Slater) in the cult classic Heathers.
Sure, this scene doesn’t show any actual sex, but it does show a smidge of nudity, some incredibly intense first-base action, and Winona Ryder's panties hanging off Daddy’s croquet set—which, in some ways, makes it even hotter.
Not only does this montage feature two incredibly sexy actors—Ryan Reynolds and Morena Baccarin—but it also serves as a highly efficient piece of storytelling. By checking in with Wade and Vanessa's sex life on every major holiday (including International Women's Day), the movie grants their relationship more weight than a lot of other superhero flicks, where the love interest often feels like an afterthought. It also gets to have the kind of R-rated fun that would feel out of place in The Avengers .
Is there anything sexier than a game of cat-and-mouse between two people who are undeniably hot for each other? In this remake of the classic heist movie, Rene Russo has been investigating Pierce Brosnan for weeks—but the chase becomes real when she shows up to a black and white ball (wearing RED) and neither of them is able to keep up the pretense any longer.
Joanna Angel: Directed by Adrian Lyne (the same guy who also made erotic thrillers 9 1/2 Weeks and Fatal Attraction ), Unfaithful does a great job of capturing the sexual intensity you can only have with someone you're not supposed to be attracted to. This scene between bored housewife Diane Lane and sexy foreign stud Olivier Martinez features some highly emotional and very, very sexy infidelity, which culminates with Lane crying and having an orgasm at the same time.
Spoiler alert: Lane's husband (Richard Gere) later finds out about the affair and murders Martinez with a snow globe, but hey, that doesn’t change the fact that for one brief moment, this guy rocked Diane Lane's world.
The sex scene in Don't Look Now , adapted from the novella by Daphne Du Maurier, famously caused controversy when the film was first released. Shots of the married couple (played by Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie ) having sex were interspersed with footage of them getting dressed to go out to dinner, making the scene in some ways a macrocosmic portrait of a marriage
Joanna Angel: This 2009 Notorious B.I.G. biopic features a scene where Lil Kim (Naturi Naughton) rides Biggie (Jamal Woolard) like a big roly-poly dildo. (Did we mention she's wearing a schoolgirl outfit in this scene?) But the real money shot is when Lil Kim seduces Biggie by spitting some rhymes—while she’s still in her underwear.
While not technically a sex scene in that neither of the characters makes physical contact, this exchange from Bent is charged with desire. Max and Horst (Clive Owen and Lothaire Bluteau) are gay men in a concentration camp who are unable to touch or even look at each other—an obstacle they overcome in this scene by finding another way to be intimate.
Joanna Angel: My vote for the 90s film couple with the most chemistry goes to Rosie Perez and Woody Harrelson in White Men Can't Jump. Whether they're talking about Jeopardy! or arguing about the intricate breakdown of basketball scores, the two of them spend the whole movie bickering like kids on the playground who secretly have crushes on each other. This scene, where Harrelson playfully throws an irate Perez in the shower with their clothes on and turns the water on before the two have sex on the couch, is so damn cute and fun.
Considering its entire premise is steeped in the politics and power of sex, Cruel Intentions is a relatively chaste movie. Aside from that memorable kiss between Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair, the film's only other real moment of passion is when Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon's characters sleep together. It's a reversal of their previous dynamic: Sebastian had all the power when he set out to seduce Annette, but he is just as vulnerable as she during their first time together.
Joanna Angel: The Oscar-nominated movie about a 24-year-old professor (Armie Hammer) and a 17-year-old student (Timothée Chalamet) who have an affair is a poignant depiction of the excitement (and confusion) that comes with first love. The hottest sex scene isn't actually a sex scene, but a masturbation scene, in which Elio (Chalamet) is thinking about Oliver (Hammer) and in a fit of passion, confusion, and anger, masturbates inside of a peach. It's an odd yet incredibly sensual and romantic scene, and it's one of the most memorable moments of the movie.
Jennifer Tilley is the quintessential femme fatale in this first encounter with Gina Gershon, having dropped an earring down the sink on purpose in order to have a pretext to be alone with her while her mafioso boyfriend is out of the apartment. The chemistry between the two women is instant and irrepressible, and they throw down right there and then.
Joanna Angel: Basic Instinct raised the bar on sex scenes in Hollywood. (Hell, it even gave some porn sex scenes a run for their money.) This scene between cop Nick Curran (Michael Douglas) and sociopathic crime novelist Catherine Trammell (Sharon Stone) is pure carnal attraction: it's just two beautiful people ravaging each other and having incredible orgasms. They're clutching the bed posts, scratching each other's backs, and just generally losing control, and it's just as hot now as it was more than 25 years ago.
Only kissing is shown between Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz here, but it is performed with such wanton lust that it feels like a consummation — just listen to all that moaning. It became something of a joke that the love scenes in Disobedience featured so much saliva; McAdams has since said that they used lychee-flavored lube to make those passionate kisses nice and wet.
Joanna Angel: Normally, I hate how Hollywood depicts the adult industry . Most directors seem to think porn stars are either cartoonishly dumb, or that we're depraved pieces of trash. (To be clear, we are neither.) But Boogie Nights is a fantastic movie with a great cast, incredible writing, and really hot sex. When Amber Waves (Julianne Moore) demands that Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) finishes inside of her while they're shooting their first scene together… it gets me every time. It's one of the few instances where a movie shows a woman in porn not as a victim, but as a sexually empowered woman who has a lot of fun doing her job.
Joanna Angel: I actually knew Natalie Portman as a child. (Our parents ran in the same circles, so we attended a lot of the same bat mitzvahs.) I was competitive with her as a preteen, and that feeling has lingered into adulthood (even though she's pretty clearly won, being a famous movie star and all).
When I saw Darren Aronofsky's psychosexual thriller Black Swan, I had already established myself as a porn actor and director. "Well, at least I can do sex scenes better than she can," I thought to myself when Natalie and her nemesis (played by a never-been-sexier Mila Kunis) showed up on screen. I was wrong. The scene shows so much but so little: Portman's orgasms look and sound so gut-wrenchingly real, and you can see the fear and ecstasy in her face as she clenches the sheets. It's highly erotic, even though it doesn't show so much as a nipple.
Joanna Angel: As someone who's had public sex more than a few times, I've always considered this train sex scene between sex worker Lana (Rebecca de Mornay) and ambitious high school student Joel (a very young Tom Cruise) a huge turn-on. It isn't so much the actual sex that's so hot as it is the build-up of sexual tension leading to that moment — but when they finally kick the last guy off the train, you know for sure that these two people need to have sex, and it's gonna be intense. The Phil Collins soundtrack also helps. (Yes, I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Phil.)
Joanna Angel: I may have been the only person in America who liked this movie, but it's a zombie comedy-thriller featuring Megan Fox as a hot and horny demon and Amanda Seyfried as her plain Jane BFF: what's not to like, I ask you? The tension between the two of them builds throughout the whole movie, culminating with a slumber party makeout scene featuring Fox in tube shorts and underwear. The fact that it ends with a lot of blood doesn't detract from the fact that this is a sweet and sexy moment.
Joanna Angel: This threesome scene between a tantric sex-obsessed drug dealer (Desmond Askew) and two stoned bridesmaids ends with the entire room going up in flames. So yes, it's a bit silly, but as the creator of movies with titles like Rock and Roll In My Butthole, silly is something I can certainly appreciate. Besides, imagine being so into your pleasure and the pleasure of your partners that you don't notice you're all about to burn to death until the very last possible moment. This scene is both literally and figuratively hot.
Joanna Angel: The beloved cult movie Wet Hot American Summer is a goofy parody of 1980s summer camp flicks, so it's not exactly known for its eroticism. But this scene between McKinley (Michael Ian Black) and Ben (a pre-stardom Bradley Cooper) is both surprisingly poignant and sexy. Even Bradley Cooper says he loved shooting it .
Joanna Angel: All of the sex scenes in Y Tu Mama Tambien, a coming-of-age movie about two friends (Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal) who go on a road trip with a gorgeous, terminally ill woman (Maribel Verdu), are hot. But this threesome scene toward the end of the film, which peaks with a liplock between Luna and Bernal, is probably the hottest, capturing a brief burst of passion in the heat of the moment.
Joanna Angel: Directed by David Lynch, this movie is so confusing that it yields different interpretations every time you watch it. This sex scene between aspiring actress Betty (Naomi Watts) and mysterious amnesiac Rita (Laura Elena Harring) is no exception. It's unclear if it's real or a dream, or if Betty is actually a woman named Diane, but what is clear is that the sex scene is beautiful and incredibly romantic, with a surging orchestral score and some deep, intense eye contact.
When God's Own Country begins, Johnny is used to casual sexual encounters, often as a means of releasing his pent-up anger and frustrations. His first tryst with farmhand Georgi begins in much the same way, but the most erotic moment in the film happens when Georgi stops what the viewer presumes is going to be another rough sex act, and instead shows Johnny what real intimacy looks like.
A bittersweet film, Weekend opens with two men meeting at a bar, a steamy sex romp, and the feelings that linger well after the sheets have been cleaned. It's sexy and sad...which is how we like our movies.
There's nothing simulated about this 2005 sex-heavy drama that was critically panned at the time of its release. The sex scenes are, for the most part, entirely genuine, so...have at it.
Who would've thought one of the sexiest scenes in film history would take place in a car on a ship bound for disaster? Not us, but here's evidence as to the contrary.
Sure, it's not sexy in the traditional sense. Or really, any sense at all. Still, the sex scene in this Ari Aster fiick is an earth-shattering and inciting moment for protagonist Dani. By the film's end, you'll see the repercussions in their full, violent glory.

We rank cinema’s best sex scenes, from steamy silent films to Hollywood’s lustiest comedies and beyond
When it comes to sex, the movie are currently going through a bit of a dry spell. It feels like it’s been a long while since we’ve seen a hot, steamy, taboo-shattering roll in the hay – or hot tub, or midsize sedan, or literal bay of hale – in a major studio film, at least not one that truly shocks the zeitgeist and gets audiences talking. Is it because of society’s general rightward shift recently? Or did filmmakers start listening to those misguided social media debates about the merits of the sex scene?
In any case, it’s far past time the movies got back to getting it on – and here are 101 examples why. Sure, in some cases, sex scenes can seem pointless. In the best examples of cinematic boffing, though, sex tells stories. It
