dirty films on netflix

Netflix

From reality TV to true crime, whatever you're in the mood to watch or put on in the background while you scroll on your phone, Netflix obviously has you covered. In addition to raunchy dating shows and classic series, the streaming service has a lot of different options when it comes to steamy content. Sure, you could just head to your favorite bookmarked porn site, but finding yourself unexpectedly aroused while watching TV sometimes leads to truly mind-blowing orgasms.

Maybe it's the fact that there's actual character development and a story to follow with most Netflix series and movies, but seeing two characters who have have been playing cat and mouse all season finally get together is sometimes better than actual porn. Whatever you gravitate toward—from steamy teen dramas to sex-infused thrillers—there are actually a ton of different options you can watch without awkward popups or weird ads.

Whether you're curling up with a partner for a steamy date night that ends in some character-inspired role play or you just want to grab your favorite toy and have a marathon masturbation sesh, there's probably a show or film from Netflix that'll get you in the mood. If you're a fan of accents and period pieces, check out Bridgerton or Reign, both of which will have you panting at the screen. If you'd rather a thought-provoking and provocative watch, The Witcher, Behind Her Eyes, or Newness will have you fantasizing in more ways than one.

So if you're ready for a steamy watch that miiiiight result in a little bit of masturbating, here are a few of the hottest things to watch on Netflix right now. We won't tell your roommates if you borrow the batteries from the remote for a different AA-powered device...

1 of 26

'Sex/Life'

Odds are you've already ~enjoyed~ Netflix's Sex/Life, but if not, this is a series you def don't want to miss. The story might be whatever but as the title suggests, the sex is outta control hot.

The Hottest Part:

From pool sex to elevator sex to the coital alignment technique, the sex scenes in this series are plentiful. While you can't go wrong with any of them, my personal fave is during Episode 5 when the main character explains the mind-blowing "coital alignment technique."

2 of 26

'Deadly Illusions'

So, Deadly Illusions isn't technically good (it got a 15 percent on Rotten Tomatoes lol), but it's still a really fun, sexy watch. Kristin Davis (yup, that Kristin Davis from Sex and the City) plays a retired author who fantasizes about her nanny. As the "plot" progresses, the line between fact and fiction blurs as the pair grows—ahem—closer.

The Hottest Part:

It's hard to top when the Sex and the City alumna gets eaten out by the nanny in the kitchen, but I'm also partial to the soapy bathtub scene as well...

'Behind her Eyes'

What you need to know going into this limited series is that things get real confusing. But before you're left blinking at the finale in absolute shock, there's a whole lotta illicit sex to enjoy. Basically, a woman gets involved with her married boss at the same time as secretly befriending his wife, which makes for one very intriguing love triangle.

The Hottest Part:

Episode 3. There's a major sex montage involving the main characters—who get it on alllll over her apartment—that's raw and graphic and majorly hot. Even more taboo is the fact that it's edited with scenes of her hanging out with her lover's wife, which is like a whole other type of taboo.

4 of 26

'The Girl Next Door'

An oldie but a goodie, The Girl Next Door is basically like the end-all-be-all teen fantasy. A super hot girl moves in next to a nerdy guy and the two somehow hit it off. The entire film feels like going back in time when making out in the back of the car was the best. thing. ever.

The Hottest Part:

It's all fun and seductive, but when the two main characters break into a neighbor's house and go skinny dipping, my 16-year-old self literally starting screaming at the screen.

5 of 26

'The Vampire Diaries'

Hot vampires, immortal sex, and nonstop love triangles make this CW hit a v exciting watch. There's a surprising amount of sex in the show, especially since the main character is in love with two very hot, very dead brothers.

The Hottest Part:

Is it the sleazy motel makeout in Season 3? Or how about the threesome (also in Season 3)? Or maybe the "hot hybrid sex" in Season 8? It's kinda like a nonstop turn-on the entire series.

6 of 26

'Newness'

When their passion starts to grow stale, two millennials decide to open up their relationship. The entire movie feels super intimate—like you're a part of their bond as opposed to just watching—which means you'll absolutely be reaching for your vibrator a time or two.

The Hottest Part:

About an hour into the film, the couple goes to a party and decides to flirt with other people. There's a voyeuristic aspect of watching the duo cast glances across the room that's quite literally palpable.

7 of 26

'American Horror Story'

Basically, every season of American Horror Story toes the line between scary and seductive (which is why it's the perfect fall show). There's sex in basically every episode, so no matter what you put on, you're bound to find yourself both aroused and rattled.

The Hottest Part:

Season 1 had lots of hot sex—like the maid masturbation scene and the almost threesome—but the most iconic sex scene has to be in Season 5. The premiere episode showed Lady Gaga having a blood orgy, which is something I absolutely still fanaticize about weekly.

8 of 26

'No Strings Attached'

Granted, No Strings Attached is probably the most rom-comy film on the list, but if you want to be a little more subtle with your sexy selection, this flick will do the job. If you haven't seen it (shocked), the title pretty much cues you in: Two hot people decide to have sex with—you guessed it—no strings attached.

The Hottest Part:

There's a cute-yet-steamy montage between Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher that involves everything from car sex to work sex to shower sex. And honestly, just watching them hook up on-screen is a gift in itself.

9 of 26

'Cam'

Another tantalizing thriller, Cam (which stars The Handmaid's Tale Madeline Brewer) follows an extreme cam girl who discovers an impostor after she takes her act to the next level.

The Hottest Part:

Without giving too much away here, the entire film is creepy and seductive in all the right ways. In fact, the very first scene—when Madeline's character puts on a scary show—will cue you into what sort of 'tent you're in for.

10 of 26

'Bridgerton'

If you haven't jumped on the Bridgerton bandwagon, I suggest you do it before the second season comes out. Despite the show starting off as the PG version of many period pieces, it soon becomes about all things sex when the two main characters Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset tie the knot and are free to consummate their marriage wherever and how many times they want.

The Hottest Part:

Though there are plenty of scenes to pick from, my favorite has to be the actual sex montage in episode six where Daphne and Simon literally cannot keep their hands off of each other. They have sex in a bed, an open field, in the rain, and while on a ladder.

11 of 26

'Ginny and Georgia'

Ginny and Georgia gives us one of the most realistic sex scenes on Netflix, as Ginny experiences her first time with her neighbor without really telling him it was her first time. Despite it being this clumsy mess of arms and legs, the anticipation and build-up is enough to get anyone watching all hot and bothered.

The Hottest Part:

Season 1, Episode 1. But you can keep watching to peep some more action between the two–and for the plot, of course.

12 of 26

'You'

Despite the fact that Joe is a literal stalker, there are some undoubtedly hot moments in the series so long as you don't watch the show for the plot and strictly the sex scenes.

The Hottest Part:

There's just something about a woman taking control of the situation that just hits different—especially when it comes to a man who has proved to be almost invincible. In one particular scene, Love takes full control of Joe—and goes as far as stuffing a neck tie in his mouth to keep him quiet while she's on top.

13 of 26

'Gypsy'

This show, which only had one season before being mercilessly axed by Netflix, is a thriller featuring Naomi Watts as a psychologist. The plot: Her character doesn't care much about healing her patients but rather manipulating them. And in the course of the show, she develops a relationship with Sydney, a woman close to one of her patients.

The Hottest Part:

Episode 7. Just watch the whole thing and you'll know what I'm talking about. Sydney and Jean spend pretty much the whole episode teasing each other as they grab dinner before making their way back to Sydney's place.

14 of 26

'Black Mirror'

Okay, so Black Mirror might not be the typical show you'd expect to make you horny, but there are a couple of episodes that include some very intense and sexy scenes.

The Hottest Part:

Season 5, Episode 2. Two best friends enter a virtual reality world where they can play their favorite fighting video game. However, the two soon discover that it's way more fun to screw each other's brains out in the game than actually fight.

15 of 26

'Riverdale'

When I first began watching Riverdale, I had no idea I would be in for a treat with the countless sex scenes each season. Jughead and Betty, Archie and Veronica, Betty and Archie, the possibilities are endless. And can we talk about the hot dads in the show? Watching F.P. Jones wearing that sheriff's uniform and Hiram Lodge taking off his suit to box are probably some of the best things the show has given us.

The Hottest Part:

Though it's hard to choose just one bomb sex scene, my favorite has to be a recent one: Archie and Betty in the shower. Season 5, Episode 5. Enough said.

16 of 26

'Orange Is the New Black'

Orange Is the New Black, need I say more? I'm sure we've all seen at least one episode already, and if you haven't, you must know at this point that there's always someone going down on someone else. The show is about what goes on in a women's prison, and of course, there's plenty of steamy lesbian sex.

The Hottest Part:

I respect that Piper and Alex, a couple who did some bad things and are now paying the consequences while in jail together, are the main characters of the show. But despite them having some pretty hot sex scenes, my go-to is anything between Nicky and Lorna, my forever OTP.

17 of 26

'Reign'

I'm a sucker for a period piece: the corsets, the dancing at balls, and the sexy sex scenes that just seem to be in every single show and movie from long-forgotten times. Reign was the perfect show if you wanted to create impossible standards for lovers to meet. Pretty much every character on the show got to take their clothes off at one point or another, and let's just say, it never disappoints.

The Hottest Part:

My favorite sex scene from this show has to be in Season 1, Episode 19, when Bash, the king's bastard brother, and Kenna, one of the queen's ladies, make good use of their marriage bed. I don't know what's hotter: Bash trying to make Kenna forget about every other man that came before him or Kenna taking control of the moment.

18 of 26

'Dark Desire'

Dark Desire is a Mexican thriller filled with plenty of hookups and affairs granted to get you gripping the edge of your seat. One of the sexiest couples in the show is Alma, who is married, and Dario, her much younger lover.

The Hottest Part:

One of the hottest scenes in this show is the moment when Alma's husband is trying to reach her on the phone and leaves her a passionate voicemail. However, she can't get to the phone because she's being, uh, sexily slammed up against a wall by her young lover. Yuuup.

19 of 26

'Toy Boy'

Toy Boy is about a stripper named Hugo who spent seven years in prison after being framed for murder. After being released, he sets off to find his former lover, whom he is convinced framed him for her husband's murder.

The Hottest Part:

In a very sensual scene, Hugo and his lawyer, Triana, hookup. He undresses her, puts her over his shoulders while pinning her against a wall, and proceeds to eat her out. (It's the type of stuff that only men in the movies can do.)

20 of 26

'365 DNI'

Netflix's erotic film 365 DNI quickly climbed the horny ranks when its shower sex scenes started circulating all over TikTok. Dubbed as a sexy crossover between Fifty Shades of Grey and also Beauty and the Beast, this nearly two-hour movie has its fair share of sex appeal (I mean, just check out the lead character). That said, this movie romanticizes an extremely toxic relationship, so only watch it for the sex scenes, mmk?

The Hottest Part:

Skip to 1:08:38 for a boat sex scene that lasts, no joke, maybe four or five minutes. Super hot.

21 of 26

'Sex Education'

Okay, so the naked scenes in Sex Education aren't necessarily the most romantic thing you'll see in a show, but it is the most realistic, okay? (I mean, it's literally a British comedy set in a high school that follows a student as he navigates his own sex therapy company). But FWIW: The show has v inclusive characters that show the different spectrums of sexuality and gender preferences, which IMO is awesome.

The Hottest Part:

Any of the built-up sexual tension with Eric and Rahim (pictured here as a prime example) or the masturbating sex scenes. Seriously. Watch the show...in its entirety.

22 of 26

'Elite'

There's something about international shows that just hit different. And Elite...hits different. The characters are obsessed with only a few things: stirring up drama and having sex. Lots, and lots, and lots of sex. Come for the juicy murder plot, stay for the sex scenes that could buy out porn. (Btw, if you're a non-Spanish speaker, you'll need to watch this one in subtitles).

The Hottest Part:

Polo, Cayetana, and Valerio's sexy pool-side threesome in the third season. Talk about polyamorous goals.

23 of 26

'All the Bright Places'

If you're in search for a horny, want-you-but-have-lots-of-emotional-baggage love story, All the Bright Places is for you. Like, I hate to be a sap, but you can't not root for this duo as they go throughout the movie building up sexual tension, and tension, and tension, until...well, no spoilers, you'll see for yourself.

The Hottest Part:

The Violent and Finch sex scene you've been waiting for the entire movie. It's YA *chefs kiss*.

24 of 26

'Outlander'

If you love Game of Thrones, know a little something about history, and enjoy watching sexy men walk around in skirts, you'll stan the blossoming romance between this hot Scottish man and his gorgeous English lover. The three seasons of Outlander on Netflix will give you alllll the ~feels~ despite the main character's complicated past (and future).

The Hottest Part:

Season 1, episode 7: The Wedding. Without spoiling too much, Sam Heughan's character, Jamie, and Caitriona Balfe's character, Claire consummate their marriage in a series of ultra-sultry sex scenes exploring each other's bodies and hungrily tasting each other for the first time. It's worth watching the whole season for, but if you're feeling dirty, I won't tell anyone you skipped to that scene specifically.

25 of 26

'The Witcher'

Two words: Henry Cavill. He reeks of sex in this whole series, so much so that one editor wrote about all the times she felt inadvertently horny while watching the first season. The show follows Geralt of Rivia, aka Henry Cavill, who is a monster struggling to find his destiny in a world with princesses, sorcerers, and beasts.

The Hottest Part:

Season 1, episode 3: Betrayer Moon. This sex scene between Yennefer, played by Anya Chalotra, and Istredd, played by Royce Pierreson, plays on all your voyeuristic fantasies. The two engage in sex while a whole audience watches them, and it's exactly as hot as it sounds.

26 of 26

'Millennials'

Millennials is like the (more) modern-day version of Skins UK when it comes to young adults dealing with everyday problems like love affairs and unemployment. And unlike real-life millennials who are barely having sex these days (thanks, COVID-19), these Millennials can say they've never had a dry spell so far.

The Hottest Part:

In the second season, Ariana, Juan, and Mario get down and dirty in a good, old-fashioned threesome. Sprinkle in the element of voyeurism as one of their roommates walks in on them and watches them devour each other.
