Anyone who loves their Netflix subscription knows that the platform is one of the best streaming services for a variety of reasons. All of the best scripted shows to binge watch, and the best movies on Netflix, provide a diverse lineup for those who enjoy watching several different series and film genres with ease. However, sometimes viewers want a movie that will add a little steam to their stream, and the granddaddy of the streaming format can also provide that, with a number of films that push the envelope in terms of their sexually explicit nature and nudity.
The 2023 Brazilian Netflix film, Burning Betrayal follows a soon-to-be bride named Babi (Giovanna Lancellotti) as she discovers that her loving, and supposedly faithful fiance has been cheating on her. Instead of letting things go or accepting the infidelity for what it is, the heartbroken and vengeful heroine embarks upon a spiritual and sexual awakening that will lead her to some steamy and dangerous situations.
With a blend of side-splitting comedy, powerful human drama, and some steamy sex scenes mixed throughout, Dry Martina is a fun, charming, and sometimes intense romantic comedy that offers a little something for everyone.
Released in 2022, Through My Window centers on Raquel Mendoza (Clara Galle), a young woman whose obsession with her uber-wealthy neighbor, Ares Hidalgo (Julio Pena) turns into a swirling romance when she discovers he has the same feelings. Though their families and completely different lifestyles run the risk of ripping the two young lovers apart, they attempt to fight through it all for the sake of love and passion.
There are multiple sex scenes throughout Through My Window, including some in wild places like a Ferris wheel and a helicopter. But at the same time, the movie also features several of the most sensual sequences on Netflix.
Part sex comedy, part buddy comedy, and part romantic comedy, No Hard Feelings is one wild ride from start to stop. The movie centers around the cash-strapped Maddie Barker (Jennifer Lawrence) as she responds to a very strange Craiglist ad from the parents of the shy and awkward Percy Becker (Andrew Barth Feldman), who are looking for someone to date their son in order to help him open up socially before college. She accepts the role in order to stay afloat ahead of a looming bankruptcy.
One of the sexiest movies on Netflix, the 2018 psychological horror film, Cam, follows Alice Ackerman (Madeline Brewer) as she navigates the dark, twisted, and highly profitable world of camgirl websites. Subjected to the whims of her clients, who push the young model to great lengths for their own personal enjoyment, Alice goes on the hunt after someone takes over her account.
The Japanese psychological thriller, Ride or Die, follows Rei Nagasawa (Kiko Mizuhara) a young woman who leaves her partner and career as a talented plastic surgeon behind to help her former crush, Nanae Shinoda (Honami Sato), who is being tormented physically and mentally by her abusive husband. But when Rei makes a terrible decision that changes all of their lives, things take a turn.
Admit it, this trilogy of Netflix original films is probably one of the things that brought you to this list. No one could really blame you, either, as the first movie, 365 Days, hit the streaming giant in the summer of 2020 and quickly became the latest steamy sensation to get users excited and keep everyone talking for a long time. For the uninitiated, the film franchise is based on the Polish novels of the same name by author Blanka Lipińska, telling the story of mafia don Massimo (Michele Morrone) and his captive love interest Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka).
The Spanish film, Amar, explores a subject many people know well: young love and what happens when real life and all the trouble it can bring comes crashing into that fresh romance. Laura (Mara Pedraza) and Carlos (Pol Monen) are one-hundred percent in the throes of their first love with each other, and also enjoying the intensity (and experimentation) that comes with it.
As you can see from this list, there's no lack of sensual thrills to be had here, if you know where to find them. The films we've pointed out are an amazing jumping off point for a delightful night of filmic sexual adventure, and who knows what else you'll find in the library of this streaming giant once you begin searching for these titles. Be sure to stream responsibly, however. If need be, make sure any young ones are either watching some of the best family friendly movies on Netflix or are asleep before embarking on any of these explicit viewing escapades.
"Whatever the energy is of the person that you're playing with, it is a bit of a dance," Taylor-Joy tells Salon. "I love that sequence with Townes because it's the first time that Beth is genuinely conflicted about winning. Like, 'I want to win the more than anything, but you're also so cute. This is making me sad, and I'm confused by it.'"
Chances are "The Queen's Gambit" is the sexiest, most addictive TV show about chess you'll ever watch. Granted, it's probably the only TV show about chess you'll ever watch (sorry, "Endgame"), occupying a space in entertainment where only films occasionally dare to venture.
Written and directed by Scott Frank, and based on Walter Tevis' 1983 novel of the same name, "The Queen's Gambit" begins with nine-year-old Beth in a Kentucky orphanage, where she is raised after her mother's tragic death. There, a taciturn janitor (Bill Camp) introduces her to chess, for which she has an astounding aptitude. After her adoption, Beth's unique Bildungsroman begins in earnest as she travels the country and then the world to earn prize money at chess tourneys and seek the respect from mostly male peers.
Tevis, who also wrote "The Hustler," goes beyond the usual underdog sports narrative for "Queen's Gambit." He draws a line between genius and mental health, giving Beth a host of personal issues that begin in childhood. Not only is she alone in the world, which plays out in her uncertain relationships with men later in life, but in the orphanage she's introduced to tranquilizers. They soon become an addiction that continues into adulthood when she also adds alcohol to the mix. It's your classic tale of sex, drugs, and . . . well, chess.
In the trailer, we see Beth literally falling down drunk, and throughout the series she goes on various benders that interfere with her success in the game and in life. Despite Beth turning to some rather self-destructive coping mechanisms, however, the series never ventures too deep into the darkness.
Part of the series' success in translating chess for viewers comes from Tevis. He was a devoted C-class player who constructed the novel's realistic games with the help of U.S. chess master Bruce Pandolfini, who also consulted on this series and the film "Searching for Bobby Fischer." Much of the dialogue and gameplay has been lifted straight from the page to the screen.
Pandolfini also coached the actors on how to play convincingly. It's not just about moving the pieces but how one uses the hands, the posture, the psych-out body language. Beth plays against grandmasters, former child prodigies like herself, and world champions. Each of these actors had to look as if they'd been playing their whole lives.
"And then even further, Bruce introduced Scott and I to Garry Kasparov, who's maybe the greatest chess player of all time. Garry had lived the life of our protagonist because he was a child chess prodigy, who was growing up in the Cold War and was roughly the same age as Beth Harmon's character in the book," said Horberg.
"He had a whole other dimension of really interesting stuff to share with us outside of the book, just in terms of what was it like when you were seven or eight in the Soviet Union? Your relationship with your family and your peers and the adults and the KGB? How did it work when you were going to play tournaments?"
The lynchpin of the series of course is Taylor-Joy, who's often been acclaimed for the non-verbal aspects of her performances, from her creepy debut in "The Witch" to the surprisingly visceral adaptation of Jane Austen's "Emma." Much is made of her large, expressive eyes, but never before have they been as essential to the storytelling as when she plays chess, drawing the viewers into the gameplay with every stare or flicker. For Beth, these matches are life or death, and those stakes had to be communicated.
"It was important for me to understand the serious chess because I know the people that really love this sport," said Taylor-Joy, who was a novice going into filming. "Knowing the theory was important. However, knowing the theory and then executing it are two very different things."
Memorizing moves for a filmed match is just the first step of the challenge. As a genius, Beth is often asked to play simultaneous matches against multiple people, shifting from board to board, one move after another. Even more difficult is a scene where she plays simultaneously against three different opponents, but this time, it's speed chess.
"That's actually some of my favorite sequences in the entirety of the show, because they were so much fun," said Taylor-Joy. "With the amount of games that I had to play, the only way that it was feasible without me literally driving myself insane, because I am in every scene essentially of this whole thing, I would learn the sequences five minutes prior. And I just have to thank my short term memory for that, like, dance choreography for my fingers.
"It just became a competitive thing within myself. 'OK, how quickly can I learn how many moves to play over three different boards? And then how fast can I do that?' One of my favorite photographs ever taken is me on set, Scott just snapped a picture of me the second that the first take of speed chess is done, and it's like pure joy. But I was so happy and proud of myself."
