Sexy Movies on Netflix

1. Hot Girls Wanted (2015)

Co-produced by Rashida Jones, this adults-only doc from Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus examines the evolving world of amateur porn, specifically following the lives of several 18- and 19-year-old actresses. But it also focuses a bit on the exploitation that amateur porn stars face, often making it more tragic than titillating. It's followed by limited series Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On, also streaming on Netflix.

2. Blonde (2022)

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. 

3. Duck Butter (2018)

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.

4. Cam (2018)

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, who's 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 an examination of fractured identity, something that’s definitely not limited to the world of adult entertainment. Cam stumbles a bit at the end, but it’s full of provocative ideas, and Brewer just floors you.

5. 365 Days (2020)

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 it's been equally chided for its misogynistic undertones). But the envelope-pushing nudity and sexual content helped it become the domain's most-watched movie in summer 2020.

Around the one-hour and seven-minute mark lies "the boat scene," one of the most intense and graphic sex scenes in a mainstream picture in years. Brace yourself.

6. Amar (2017) 

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.

7. After (2019), After We Collided (2020), After We Fell (2021), After Ever Happy (2022) and After Everything (2023)

Anna Todd's young adult romance novel After was originally Harry Styles fanfiction that she wrote on Wattpad. That eventually turned into a series of novels and now five (!!!!!) films about a young couple falling in love. The movies have gotten increasingly sexual as time has progressed, with stars Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes Tiffin offering plenty of steamy on screen chemistry. 

8. Milf (2018)

This French-produced raunchfest centers on three 40-something female friends who begin hot n' heavy affairs with much younger men. Be super, super careful when Googling this one.

9. The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) 

When thinking of The Other Boleyn Girl, the phrase "bodice ripper" rushes to mind. The romantic drama based on a novel by Philippa Gregory details the torrid affair between King Henry VIII of England, his mistress Anne Boleyn and *GASP* her sister Mary Boleyn. How historically accurate is this film? Let's not ask any scholars. How sexy is this film? EXTREMELY. I choose to believe everyone living in the middle ages was incredibly hot and horny, because that's what this film is delivering. 

10. Berlin Syndrome (2017) 

So abundant we might as well make them their own genre, movies about kidnapped females generally go one of two ways: It’s either all about the suspense, figuring out how and if she will get out—or there’s the nastier route, the really low road, when some movies focus on a woman’s torture and humiliation, turning it into spectacle.

Though Australian director Cate Shortland‘s adaptation of Melanie Joosten‘s novel about a tourist imprisoned by a handsome teacher after a passionate one-night-stand is a thriller (quite heart-pounding at times), and much of the woman’s mistreatment is extremely hard to watch, this highly absorbing psychological drama stands out because it’s all about the characters and what’s going on in their heads. It also differs from other films of its ilk in that this nightmare begins with genuine erotic tension and heat, a mutual attraction.

11. Lust Stories (2018)

A collection of four short films from top Bollywood directors explores everything from masturbation to adultery, from the perspective of women in love and lust.

12. Happy Ending (2023)

How do you tell your boyfriend of a year that he has yet to satisfy you sexually? That is the conundrum at the heart of the Dutch film Happy Ending (something the protagonist can't seem to reach). The romance at the film's center, however, is supplemented with plenty of good sex scenes. We've got straight sex, queer sex and even a threesome. While body language is universal, you will need subtitles to know what's happening with the plot.

13. You Get Me (2017) 

Brent Bonacorso's You Get Me stars Bella Thorne, Halston Sage and Taylor John Smith. Centered on a rebound fling that leads to obsession, it's all an attempt to recreate the alchemy of popular erotic thrillers of the late '80s and early '90s, like Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct.

14. Elisa & Marcela (2019)

Also known as Elisa y Marcela, Isabel Coixet's erotic historical drama is an account of Marcela Gracia Ibeas and Elisa Sánchez Loriga, and the first same-sex marriage of Spain's modern era. A Spanish production (in Spanish and Portuguese with subtitles), Elisa & Marcela was selected to compete for the Golden Bear at the 69th Berlin Film Festival, and received a limited theatrical release via Netflix.
