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?

June and Nick in Handmaids Tale!

nowifi · 09/06/2019 16:26

Or just Nick in Handmaids Tale in general!

AnnabelleBronstein · 09/06/2019 16:27

Diane lane and Olivier Martinez in Unfaithful.

Emma Thompson and Jeff Goldblum in the Tall Guy - comedy gold!

I agree with thefreaks. I’m a huge binge Netflix watcher and can’t remember the last series I watched which didn’t involve lots of sex. Probably Stranger Things thinking back...

There always HAS to be a strong undertone of sex which I find desperate and unnecessary.

There's a few in 'Easy' that are shall we say, motivating... also some that are animalistic, but I guess that's the point of the film.

The wanking scene in the opening credits 😱...

Not a sex scene, just a kiss scene but a great kiss imho

Jess and Nick in New Girl

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. I found that scene wuite disturbing as it was quite "rough" and I was pretty young. It was certainly memorable though.

Mine is Terminator. Half the cinema lit up (cigarettes) at the end of that scene Grin

Most recent thing on TV that was so so hot was Fleabag taking confession. No sex, only kissing. But good Lord!

Otterhound · 09/06/2019 16:42

Another for look now. Was very much like how a couple have sex rather than the soft focus fantasy. Great film too.

Bluerussian · 09/06/2019 16:42

I like romantic sex scenes, not necessarily explicit. I remember seeing a film on TV with Franco Nero years ago, ''The Virgin and the Gypsy', and was quite emotional about it.

Crazycatlady10 · 09/06/2019 16:42

Fleabag! The bit where he says “we’re gonna have sex aren’t we?” And then they start kissing. Sexy af.

Also a bit obscure but there’s a Kay mellor drama called between the sheets from 2003ish, it’s on YouTube. It has one of the most realistic sex scenes I’ve seen in a tv show but blimey it’s brilliant. That whole show is worth a watch, cheesy but excellent. Like a saucy soap opera.

Johnny Depp in Benny and Joon
Mickey Rourke and Kim basinger in 9 1/2 weeks

Michael Bihern is gorgeous in that, he's sexy on aliens 2 too. Was pissed off he was killed off and never in the series again.

Shitsandgigglez · 09/06/2019 16:44

i definitely didn't enjoy it but I remember having my eyes glued to the screen watching Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton in monsters ball

CrispbuttyNo1 · 09/06/2019 16:44

Oh and sylvester stallone with Sharon Stone in The Specialist

MermaidUnicorn · 09/06/2019 16:44

Definitely Fleabag. The kissing in the confessional booth scene is unbelievably erotic.

FutureMrsD · 09/06/2019 16:44

Ok... I know I’ll get criticism for this...
I like Jaime and Cersei’s scenes on GOT....
I’d like to add NOT because of the insest!!! 😂 Lol.
They are just 2 very good looking people, particularly Nikolaj Coster-Waldau... 🙃

Shitsandgigglez · 09/06/2019 16:44

But enjoyment wise yy to Fleabag

Moralitym1n1 · 09/06/2019 16:46

*in Aliens, he wasn't on an alien Grin.

nowifi · 09/06/2019 16:46

Worst one I've seen recently was in Sally4ever. Genuinely made me feel like a prude!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 09/06/2019 16:47

This.

I can't imagine why it was cut Blush

(Dirty Dancing)

StCharlotte · 09/06/2019 16:48

Ooh another one is Rob Lowe and Jodi Foster in Hotel New Hampshire. It was incest but still seemed really right and you really wanted it to happen.

Moralitym1n1 · 09/06/2019 16:48

Oh and sylvester stallone with Sharon Stone in The Specialist

Apparently some people think that's the crappiest, cringiest sex scene ever.

It's very posed, that's for sure.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 09/06/2019 16:50

I feel similar to the poster who said about most sex scenes being cringey etc.
That being said Harvey Keitel and Holly Hunter in the piano was good.
