Top 30 Hottest Movie Scenes That Almost Deleted
Do you remember the first time you were sexually excited by an image on a screen? (We do!) It might've been a music video to a teen-pop bop, or a particularly mushy episode of Buffy. Most likely, it was a movie of the PG-13 persuasion, which you snuck a viewing of far from the eyes of your parents when you were nowhere near the age of 13. Looking back, those scenes were cute. Harmless. Nowhere near the sex scenes you've seen in movies since you branched out into the R-rated category and beyond.
1. Newness
Release: 2017
Director: Drake Doremus
Actors: Laia Costa, Nicholas Hoult
Newness is literally a modern-day fairytale. Boy meets girl after swiping right on a dating app, they meet up, they have hot steamy sex, they decide to give their relationship a shot, they delete their apps, and call it a day. However, much like modern romances, the two millennials do plenty of sexual exploring: They bring in a third for a fun threesome and even engage in voyeurism as they watch each other with other romantic partners.
2. God's Own Country

Released: 2017
Directed by: Francis Lee
Actors: Josh O'Connor and Alec Secăreanu
O'Connor and Secăreanu worked on a farm for weeks to learn how to handle farm chores and animals...and presumably, how to roll around in the mud.
3. Yes God Yes
 |
| Photo: Reddit |
Release: 2019
Director: Karen Maine
Actors: Natalia Dyer, Wolfgang Novogratz
This quirky coming of age movie features a young girl who is learning to explore her body with her hands... and her phone... and a body massager. However, she’s sent off to Jesus camp where she is sexually awakened after meeting a dark and handsome camp counselor and watching two others hookup behind some bushes. But instead of turning away to give them some privacy, she does what anyone else would do: She masturbates against a mop stick before being caught.
4. White Tiger
 |

Released: 2021
Directed by: Ramin Bahrani
Actors: Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Rajkummar Rao, and Adarsh Gourav
Chopra Jonas is so famous in India that to facilitate the film's shooting, most of her scenes (much like this voyeuristic one) take place inside a car instead of out in public settings.

5. After We Collided
Release: 2020
Director: Roger Kumble
Actors: Josephine Langford, Hero Fiennes
Do you ever just start kissing someone in a public place and can’t seem to stop yourself from going further? Yeah, neither can Tessa (Josephine Langford) and Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin). There are plenty of other scenes to get you going, like them hooking up in the shower, in various parts of each other’s home, and when Tessa even gets to see what’s under Dylan Sprouse’s suits.
6. Blue Valentine
 |
| Photo: We Heart It |
Released: 2010
Directed by: Derek Cianfrance
Actors: Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling
This film was originally slapped with an NC-17 rating because of its realistic oral sex scene, giving some interesting insight into how female pleasure on-screen is critiqued. Gosling's response: “You shouldn’t be penalized for doing a good job.”
7. MILF
Release: 2018
Director: Axelle Laffont
What happens when three single moms in their 40s go off on a vacation? Why, they hook up with much younger men, of course. MILF shows that things only get better the older we get, especially if we run away to a beach house in France. This movie has plenty of grinding on dance floors, wet kisses, and a sex scene by the beach. Doesn’t get any better than that.
8. Teeth
 |

Released: 2007
Directed by: Mitchell Lichtenstein
Actor: Jess Weixler
This film, about a woman whose vagina bares teeth to horrifying mid-sex results, has a shocking 80 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
9. An Easy Girl
 |
| Photo: The New York Times |
Release: 2019
Director: Rebecca Zlotowski
Actors: Zahia Dehar, Nuno Lopes (Andrès)
Two cousins go off for the summer and explore the ~luxurious lifestyle~ of yachts and champagne whenever, wherever. However, one of them (Zahia Dehar) is much more daring and sneaks off to have yacht sex with older men.
10. Atonement
Released: 2007
Directed by: Joe Wright
Actors: Keira Knightley and James McAvoy
Though the library sex scene is now considered iconic, it is somewhat overshadowed by the downright legendary green dress Knightley wears in it.
11. Amar
Release: 2017
Director: Esteban Crespo
Actors: María Pedraza, Natalia Tena
This Spanish movie = exactly what you would expect to get when you search for "romantic porn between a married couple." Though there are plenty of hot sex scenes, which go from them doing it in a red-lit backroom to going at it viciously in bed, you don’t get any of that 365 DNI bullshit that promotes toxic relationships. This is the perfect movie to watch with your long-term person.
12. Duck Butter
 |
| Photo: Tumblr |
Released: 2018
Directed by: Miguel Arteta
Actors: Alia Shawkat and Laia Costa
The basic premise of this film as that two women attempt to have sex once an hour for 24 straight hours.
13. Someone Great
 |
| Photo: Mashable SEA |
Release: 2019
Director: Jennifer Kaytin Robinson
Actors: Gina Rodriguez, DeWanda Wise
We all know the iconic scene when Jenny (Gina Rodriguez) and Erin (DaWanda Wise) bust a few moves to Lizzo’s "Truth Hurts" as they get ready to have the greatest day of their lives as best friends, but can we take a moment to talk about the super hot sex scenes between Blair (Britanny Snow) and Matt (Peter Vack)? They go from hooking up in his office to hooking up in the bathroom of a club? Don’t you just miss being so passionately desired by your sworn enemy? Le sigh.
14. The Handmaiden
 |
| Photo: Tapatalk |
Released: 2016
Directed by: Park Chan-wook
Actors: Kim Tae-ri and Kim Min-hee
To shoot the lesbian sex scene in a way that made his leads feel comfortable, Park gave the male crew members the day off, hired a female boom operator, and filmed the encounter with a remote-controlled camera.
15. Elisa and Marcela
Release: 2019
Director: Isabel Coixet
Actors: Natalia de Molina, Greta Fernández
This is more than just an overall sexy movie—it’s a beautiful piece of art. These women become the first lesbian couple to get married by the church back in the early 1900s, but only because one of them pretends to be a man. Aside from being overly emotional, this movie contains plenty of sex scenes between the two women. One particular scene goes on for more than three minutes and I can’t tell what’s hotter: Them taking off each other’s corsets or the finger-licking scene before they go downtown.

16. Call Me By Your Name
 |
| Photo: Wattpad |
Released: 2017
Directed by: Luca Guadagnino
Actors: Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer
In the first and only rehearsal for this film, Guadagnino had his actors immediately act out the scene where they make out furiously. (This is also the film that launched a thousand peach memes.)
17. Flower
 |
| Photo: Reddit |
Release: 2018
Director: Max Winkler
Actors: Zoey Deutch, Dylan Gelula
This one is about two step-siblings, Erica (Zoey Deutch) and Luke (Joey Morgan), who are on a mission to uncover a teacher who sexually assaulted Luke when he was younger. There's lots, and lots, and lots of drama, but as for the sex part: The two end a police chase by crashing into a tree and then going at it right there
18. Monster's Ball
Released: 2001
Directed by: Marc Forster
Actors: Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton
Halle Berry became the first Black woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for this movie. Twenty years later, she remains the only Black woman to have won it.
19. Ammonite

| Photo: Empire |
Release: 2020 (USA)
Director: Francis Lee
Actors: Kate Winslet, Saoirse Ronan
If you haven't heard that Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan play lesbian lovers in a period movie, well, this is it. And trust me, the scenes are just as much as you’d think. My favorite one has to be when Charlotte (Saoirse) interrupts Mary (Kate) as she works, and they immediately go at it. The director even graces you with a scene where Mary goes down south on Charlotte, who is sitting atop a desk.
20. In the Realm of Senses
Released: 1976
Directed by: Nagisa Ōshima
Actors: Eiko Matsuda and Tatsuya Fuji
In the Realm of the Senses (Ai no corrida), by the always provocative Japanese director Nagisa Oshima, remains one of the most controversial films of all time. Based on a true incident, it graphically depicts the all-consuming, transcendent—but ultimately destructive—love of a man and a woman (Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda) living in an era of ever escalating imperialism and governmental control. Less a work of pornography than of politics, In the Realm of the Senses is a brave, taboo-breaking milestone, still censored in its own country.
21. Premature
Initial: 2019
Directed by: Rashaad Ernesto Green
Actors: Zora Howard, Joshua Boone
Premature is the kind of movie you want to watch with your girls if your girls are like the Sex and the City ladies who sit together to watch Carrie’s neighbor have sex with multiple chicks. It’s about a couple who meets before Ayanna (Zora Howard) goes off to college, and during that very passionate summer, they go through the ups and downs of a new love.
However, despite the multiple sad scenes in the movie, you and your girls will be treated to some very intense and hot sex scenes. Like, hi, they go at it on a rooftop at one point.
22. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
 |
Released: 2008
Directed by: Nicholas Stroller
Actors: Jason Segel, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Russell Brand
To promote the film, billboards were placed around big cities attacking the fictional Sarah Marshall. That bothered some real-life Sarah Marshalls.
23. Moonlight
Release: 2016
Director: Barry Jenkins
Actors: Mahershala Ali, Trevante Rhodes
Moonlight might not be the kind of movie you think about when it comes to sensual sex scenes. But one particular scene is guaranteed to get your pulse running: When childhood best friends Kevin and Chiron reunite at the beach after years apart. Things definitely escalate when Kevin holds Chiron close to him and helps him rub one out, right there at the beach.
24. Hancock
Released: 2008
Directed by: Peter Berg
Actors: Will Smith and Hayley Marie Norman
Fun fact: Hancock, an alcoholic superhero stuck in the modern day with severe amnesia and sexual frustrations, is supposedly the Greek god Zeus, and his love interest/sister, played by Charlize Theron, is supposedly the Greek goddess Hera.
25. The Photograph
 |
| Photo: Giphy |
Release: 2020
Director: Stella Meghie
Actors: LaKeith Stanfield, Issa Rae
We all knew The Photograph was going to be your typical romance movie of a couple who gets to know each other before realizing they’re meant to be. But just because their feelings are cute and stuff doesn’t mean they don’t get down and dirty in the sheets. One particular scene features Michael (LaKeith Stanfield) and Mae (Issa Rae) actually making love. Like the shit we all dream will happen for when we find ~ the one ~.
26. Angel Heart
Released: 1987
Directed by: Alan Parker
Actors: Lisa Bonet and Mickey Rourke
A combination of rough sex, spurting blood, and Rourke's buttocks got this horror movie an X rating, before the scene was trimmed to appeal to the MPAA.
27. Portrait of a Lady On Fire
Release: 2019
Director: Céline Sciamma
Actors: Adèle Haenel, Noémie Merlant
Trust me, you haven’t seen a movie like Portrait of a Lady On Fire. The plot is a bit... different. A painter has been order to make a portrait of a woman without her knowing that she’s being painted, and that portrait will then be sent off to a man in Milan who will decide if he wants to marry her or not. But, of course, the two women fall in love. And in my opinion, the building sexual tension is way better than actual sex.
28. Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy
Released: 2015-2018
Directed by: Sam Taylor-Johnson; James Foley
Actors: Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan
This soft-core take on BDSM pulled in over $1 billion at the box office across all three movies. The books they were based on were actually fan-fic for the Twilight tween series.
29. 365 DNI
 |
| Photo: We Heart It |
Release: 2020
Directors: Tomasz Mandes, Barbara Białowąs
Actors: Michele Morrone, Anna-Maria Sieklucka
Introducing Netflix's newest erotic film, 365 DNI. It quickly climbed the horny ranks when its shower sex scenes started circulating all over TikTok. And TBH, I’m not sure if the lead male character in here could do anything that won’t make your jaw drop. That said, you can prep yourself for a boat sex scene that literally lasts like four minutes. But Major! Red! Flag! Alert! This movie romanticizes an extremely toxic relationship, so only watch it for the sex scene that starts at 1:08:38.
30. Sorry to Bother You
Released: 2018
Directed by: Boots Riley
Actors: Lakeith Stanfield and Armie Hammer
It wouldn't be a movie about soulless corporate ladder-climbing without coke-fueled orgies. Stanfield said he wanted to go nude, but his character's nudity was eventually cut from the script.
