Reddit thread has created controversy on whether movies should include sexual scenes. Some feel sexuality doesn’t belong in genres such as horror, while others see them as adding depth and authenticity to the tale.
Coming-of-age indie films have revolutionized sex scenes with realistic depictions of them, from Saoirse Ronan’s scene in Lady Bird where she loses her virginity to Booksmart’s awkward awkwardness. But do they work?
Boogie Nights (1993)
Paul Thomas Anderson dives head first into the murky realm of adult entertainment with this film. Through its characters’ dysfunctional lives, Anderson attempts to understand this carnal circus through them and provides a gripping ride filled with sensuous scenes and explicit dialogue.
Mark Wahlberg plays Dirk Diggler, a struggling actor working at a California night club who dreams of bigger things beyond bussing tables. After meeting exotic film director Jack Horner (played shirtlessly by Tom Cruise), Dirk finds himself drawn into adult films; unfortunately however, reality sets in rather quickly for Dirk. But one aspect he does appreciate about this film: being able to show off his massive, hairy posterior during its iconic bottomless scene.
Julianne Moore takes an unconventional approach to nudity in this movie, appearing almost completely bottomless for an extended period of time as she paces around arguing with her partner. We get a close-up view of her red-haired bush and ass while blow-drying her skirt!
This racy and highly sexually explicit film is one of the best erotic movies ever made. Not just focused on sexual content though, this cult classic explored friendship and love between two women as well. Sandra Bullock made her name famous with this one! It should definitely be watched for those looking for some good sexy porn-type flicks; only downside could be its ending; some might find this an anticlimactic ending though!
Nymphomaniac (1998)
Danish director Lars von Trier has long been considered controversial. Known for his avant-garde filmmaking techniques and numerous movies with explicit sexual content – some criticizing his use of unsimulated sex in films such as The Idiots (1998) and Antichrist (2009) -, von Trier remains controversial today.
While it might seem bizarre to discuss, this topic is essential in understanding how the film Nymphomaniac works. The movie tells the erotic life of one woman from childhood through adulthood. It includes extremely graphic scenes containing real penetration.
Interesting enough, the director of this movie has stated that unsimulated sexual acts are an essential component of its plot and does not believe that filming about women’s erotic lives without depicting penetration would be possible.
This topic is fascinating and it is well worth investigating further if you’re keen on discovering more about this movie. Visit its official website for additional details.
As our understanding of naked bodies changes, people have become more accepting of watching movies with explicit sexual content. While some may still find them embarrassing or uncomfortable, others find them entertaining and relaxing.

Antichrist (2009)
Lars von Trier made no attempt to tone down the sexual content of Antichrist when making this arthouse psychohorror movie, featuring explicit and sexual scenes between Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe, along with graphic torture scenes. While often described as an examination of depression and misogyny, its explicit scenes have proved divisive among audiences.
Antichrist made waves with viewers through its iconic love scene between Dafoe and Gainsbourg, shot with realistic slow motion shots using black-and-white cinematography with classical music in the background, that some viewers thought the sex scenes were real despite von Trier using body doubles for both actors – it still looked convincing to many viewers!
This was just one scene in the film that caused viewers to wonder whether or not they were watching sexual content or real acts of violence, such as when someone is struck with a tree branch and another woman has her leg filled with gravel, or when one of the main characters incinerates their dog’s genitalia for close-up viewing.
Though not for everyone, and those with delicate stomachs should avoid it, the movie provides an interesting examination of the ways realism can sometimes blur the boundaries between art and exploitation, and serves as a reminder that something that looks sexual does not necessarily need to be.
As we anticipate Shia LaBeouf and Stacy Martin’s upcoming movie Nymphomaniac, here are 10 movies with similar qualities: From 365 Days to Antichrist, these films contain realistic scenes of sexual content that might fool viewers into believing it wasn’t faked for camera. However, most likely all sex was performed for camera purposes with some rare instances (such as 9 Songs ) where real action occurred during shooting.
Pleasure (2013)
Hollywood has finally recognized that authenticity is not only key for creating successful stories but who tells them as well. If a white creator can’t identify with what they are portraying on-screen, they should give way to someone who does.
Movies about the porn industry offer similar insights. Many directors draw upon their personal experiences as adult performers for inspiration; yet not all directors receive proper recognition. Swedish director Ninja Thyberg made her feature-length movie debut with Pleasure based on her short of the same name that won Cannes Grand Jury Prize 2013.
Thyberg promises her film will be feminist and sex-positive, yet real-world porn actors involved are disagreeing with this notion. Lucy Hart – who plays Ceasar from Pleasure – states she agreed to play such a bad guy because she thought she was portraying the adult industry positively and later found out she wasn’t included in its promotional campaign or thanked.
