Been chatting to some friends about this and we came up with ones from Fatal Attraction (sink scene), Brokeback Mountain, GoT (all of them Smile) and Pretty Little Liars amongst others. What was interesting was how some favourites did nothing for others. And some were unanimously agreed to be hot as hell.

Which ones do it for you?

Hardly seen any of these! Clearly missing out.

Agree with Betty Blue, not seen that film for years.

Just for clarity, my question was around sex scenes that posters find arousing. Hadn't considered it might open up conversations about scenes that impacted for other reasons. Seems the confusion there has been ironed out though.

The Notebook (post lake)
First series of Spartacus where he is having sex with his wife.
Lots of GOT - grey worm and his missus, Jon snow in the caves with the wildling girl, Rob Stark, danearys and Drogo.....I could go on.

And, not so
Much a sex scene but I LOVE the scene where Jim and Pam get together in the American Office - could watch that again and again!

One of the ones that always sticks In my mind is Jack Nicholas and Jessica Lange in The Postman Always Rings Twice on the kitchen table.

Generally I find sex scenes a bit dull and inevitably compare my sagging flab with the lithe and toned body of the nubile female but there is one scene in Internal Affairs involving Andy Garcia and his wife which I remember. Hot stuff and I fancy Andy Garcia but he'd never go for me.

Ah, yes, The Thomas Crown Affair...hoe could I forget!

quadrophenia the sex in the alley scene

BumbleBeee69 · 09/06/2019 15:50

None of them. I cringe through most sex scenes. And most are completely unnecessary, or are too long and/or explicit.

And Pretty Women where he kisses her on the lips and she says “I love you” when she thinks he’s asleep.

William Hurt and Kathleen Turner in Body Heat.

Bluestitch · 09/06/2019 16:07

I also like "Witness" and Harrison Ford is gorgeous in it, but they don't have sex

Yeah you're right! I was thinking of the amazing kissing scene in the field, I thought it was implied they had sex but thinking about it they didn't. Haven't seen it for a long while though, really need to watch it again.

Deliverance.

'Squeal like a pig' always does it for me.

Russell Tovey and that beautiful boy shagging while the world ends in Years and Years was fun.

@pepperpot99

Andy Garcia is aging now (who doesn't) but when he was younger - holy moly. Everything about him Inc his voice ...

jayho · 09/06/2019 16:18

Don't look now, Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie

Moralitym1n1 · 09/06/2019 16:19

Ah, yes, The Thomas Crown Affair...hoe could I forget!

Actually thought Renee Rousso looked and acted like a disaster through that film.

There were scenes that were supposed to be sexy but we're cringey/unintentionally funny because of it.

Maybe when she was sunbathing in the big floppy hat, to be fair, she looked good - but that dance scene ... Where is the cringing emoji

Dirty dancing in Johnys chalet.

Pretty woman on the piano.

Lizzie48 · 09/06/2019 16:26

Yes, I love the film Witness as well. But you're right, they won't have had sex. Bear in mind that she's Amish and would have risked being ostracised from the community if she had been caught having sex outside wedlock. He knows it and turns her down.

But yes, I think Harrison Ford is great in the role. Smile
