Summer is here, and just like the temperature outside, Netflix is keeping things hot on streaming with explicit titles that are all available to watch with a Netflix subscription. The streamer has everything from steamy thrillers to fun rom-coms that get spicy to foreign films with explicit scenes. If you're looking for a movie that will put you in the mood for romance, we've got the list for you.
As always, the list of movies on Netflix is always changing, so here is our list of movies that are available as of June 1, 2026. We always keep this list updated, so check back often! It's worth noting that after a long time on the streamer, one of the most notable erotic series from the last couple of decades, the Fifty Shades franchise, is no longer streaming on Netflix.
Wild Things (1998)
The Director: John McNaughton
The Cast: Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, Denise Richards
What It’s About: After being accused of a heinous crime by two students, a guidance counselor finds himself in a web of deceit where no one gets out unscathed by the time of that wild ending.
What To Expect: Wild Things is one of those movies that you have to see to believe, and even then, you don’t really know what to trust.
Blonde (2022)
The Director: Andrew Dominik
The Cast: Ana de Armas, Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale, and Julianne Nicholson
Based On: Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates
What It’s About: The life and death of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe from her childhood as Norma Jeane Mortenson, through her days as a pin-up girl and then a world-famous movie star. It's a bit of a disjointed movie, but de Armas gives a wonderful performance.
What To Expect: Monroe is one of the most iconic sex symbols of the 20th Century, so of course that is reflected in the movie with several steamy scenes and moments (along with some very bizarre ones and a couple that will make you very uncomfortable.
Caught Stealing (2025)
The Director: Darren Aronofsky
The Cast: Austin Butler, Zoe Kravitz, Matt Smith
Based On: Caught Stealing by Charlie Huston
What It’s About: A former baseball player-turned-bartender finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time when rival gangs come looking for his friend, who’s conveniently out of town.
What To Expect: Caught Stealing is unlike most Darren Aronofsky movies in that it’s not a cerebral exploration of the psyche or complex subject matter, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a bite. This ferociously funny, violent, and action-packed crime story in ‘90s NYC is just so much fun.
Vladimir (2026)
Created By: Julia May Jonas
The Cast: Rachel Weisz, Leo Woodall, Jessica Henwick
Based On: Vladimir by Julia May Jonas
What It’s About: A college professor in a tough spot in her life (both personally and professionally) is reinvigorated after meeting and falling for a younger colleague.

The Cast: Dev Patel, Ralph Ineson, Alicia Vikander
Based On: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
What It’s About: One year after decapitating a mysterious knight, King Arthur’s nephew sets off to find the seemingly eternal giant and prove his bravery and virtues.
What To Expect: David Lowery’s The Green Knight is a fantastical and eye-popping take on one of literature’s most well-known tales. That said, it’s full of violence, sexuality, and one mystery after another.

The Director: Ethan Coen
The Cast: Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, and Charlie Day

What To Expect: Honey Don't! is the second of a planned trilogy from Ethan Coen and co-written with his wife Tricia Cooke. It's not as good as when the Coen Brothers team up together, but the relationship between Qaulley's character and Plaza's character is steamy enough to give the movie a watch.

The Director: Justin Tipping
The Cast: Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox
What It’s About: A top NFL prospect, on the eve of entering The Combine, trains with his childhood idol and gets way more than he bargains for in this supernatural horror flick.

What It’s About: An ensemble cast stars in a series of stories and plots focused around a swingers club in this spicy Spanish comedy. Titled Donde caben dos in Spanish.
What To Expect: It's not a surprise that any movie that is based in and around a swingers club is going to have some spicy moments, and this movie certainly has some. It's fairly tame in the way those encounters are presented, and it's pretty funny. It is somewhat akin to the sex comedies made famous in the '70s and '80s.
