Summer is coming to an end, but the massive collection of sexually explicit movies on Netflix is going to keep things hot and steamy even with the cooler weather. If you’re looking to get the most out of your Netflix subscription by watching one, two, or more than 20 sexually explicit movies, one of the best streaming services around will do the trick. But if you don’t want to spend most of your night scrolling through a seemingly endless list, then you’ve come to the right place…
Take a look at more than two dozen racy, hot-n-heavy, and incredibly romantic movies from new Netflix movies to outrageous period pieces and everything in between, and just about anything and everything in between.
Fall For Me (2025)
The Director: Sherry Hormann
The Cast: Svenja Jung, Theo Trebs, Thomas Kretschmann
What It’s About: While visiting her sister on the Spanish island of Mallorca, a woman finds herself in an increasingly dangerous (and steamy) situation after meeting a mysterious stranger and becoming part of a devilish scam.
What To Expect: Sherry Hormann’s 2025 erotic thriller is full of mystery, tension, bad players, and some of the sexiest scenes you’ll see on Netflix this year. Come for the thrills, stay for the romance.
American Pie (1999)
The Director: Paul Weitz
The Cast: Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Natasha Lyonne, Tara Reid
What It’s About: With their high school days almost over, a group of friends make a pledge to lose their virginity before graduation, culminating with a prom night no one will ever forget.
What To Expect: One of the most outrageous sex comedies of the ‘90s, American Pie took what worked for classics like Porky’s and Fast Times at Ridgemont High (more on that later), and gave it a Gen-X attitude (and awkwardness). Laughs, nudity, and highly quotable lines can be found throughout.
The Sweetest Thing (2002)
The Director: Roger Kumble
The Cast: Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Selma Blair
What It’s About: After meeting the man of her dreams, a serial bachelorette decides to throw caution to the wind (and her golden rule in the trash can) by going on a road trip to track him down and say how she really feels.
What To Expect: If you want to see a wild road trip comedy featuring Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate in peak comedy form (plus an utterly ridiculous scene featuring Selma Blair), The Sweetest Thing is going to do the trick. This 2002 comedy will also teach you not to throw rotten leftovers out the window of a moving car.
Old School (2003)
The Director: Todd Phillips
The Cast: Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell
What It’s About: Growing disillusioned with their lives, a group of 30-somethings makes the incredibly rational decision of creating their own college fraternity, much to the chagrin of their families, coworkers, and an uptight college administrator.
What To Expect: Hazing, blow-up dolls, and grown men getting in touch with their younger selves (while also streaking) make Todd Phillips’ Old School a raucous experience. Sure, certain aspects haven’t aged all that well, but this is still an early 2000s comedy worth seeking out.
Fast Times At Ridgemont High (1982)
The Director: Amy Heckerling
The Cast: Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold
Based On: Cameron Crowe’s Fast Times at Ridgemont High: A True Story
What It’s About: The lives of several high school students from Ridgemont High are explored in great detail as they balance studies, part-time jobs, and teenage hormones.
What To Expect: One of the best high school comedies of all time, Fast Times at Ridgemont High has influenced generations of audiences and filmmakers with its hilarious yet personal chronicle of a day in the life of a teenager. It has comedy, it has romance, and it has scenes that are still wild 40-plus years later.
A Star Is Born (2018)
The Director: Bradley Cooper
The Cast: Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Sam Elliott
What It’s About: A musician in the twilight of his career is given a new lease on life when he meets and falls in love with an aspiring singer. However, it’s not as easy as it sounds in this incredibly tragic drama.

Under Her Control (2022)
The Director: Fran Torres
The Cast: Aitana Sanchez-Gijon, Cumelen Sanz, Alex Pastrana
What It’s About: A woman hoping to keep her pregnancy a secret is given an offer that could allow her to keep her job and find a home for the soon-to-be-born baby: sign the child away to the overbearing fashion designer for whom she works.
What To Expect: Fran Torres’ Under Her Control is an intense psychological thriller that continues to get more and more out of hand as it intense and at times terrifying story progresses.
Road Trip (2000)
The Director: Todd Phillips
The Cast: Breckin Meyer, Seann William Scott, Amy Smart
What It’s About: Cheating on your girlfriend is already bad enough, but taping it and accidentally mailing it to her is a whole other can of worms. What’s a college student to do when he finds himself in this position? A road trip to beat the mail, of course!
What To Expect: One of the raunchiest sex comedies of the 2000s, Road Trip is an outrageous adventure about a group of friends risking it all to prevent an unmitigated disaster.
Untamed Royals (2024)
The Director: Humberto Hinojosa Ozcariz
The Cast: Juan Pablo Fuentes, Ximena Lamadrid, Fernando Cattori
What It’s About: A group of extremely wealthy friends, all from powerful families whose status gives them an endless line of “get out of jail free” cards, live out their lives in debaucherous, morally bankrupt, and sociopathic ways.
What To Expect: As the name suggests, Untamed Royals is a story of both access and excess where the rich and powerful do anything and everything they want with little to no regard for those around them.
A Widow’s Game (2025)
The Director: Carlos Sedes
The Cast: Ivana Baquero, Tristan Ullola, Carmen Machi
What It’s About: After a man is found brutally murdered, his widow puts on the facade of a grieving wife. However, as her story starts to unfold, it becomes apparent that she isn’t telling the whole story.

The Dirt (2019)
The Director: Jeff Tremaine
The Cast: Douglas Booth, Colson “Machine Gun Kelly” Baker, Pete Davidson
Based On: Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, and Neil Strauss’ The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band
What It’s About: The wild and raucous story of hair metal icons Mötley Crüe is explored in great (and explicit) detail as the band of misfits goes from one of Hollywood Avenue’s rising stars to one of the biggest bands of all time.
What To Expect: A great music biopic based on Mötley Crüe, a band known for their backstage escapades as much as their music, it was all but guaranteed that this 2019 Netflix original would be an over-the-top and sensationalized recounting of one of rock’s most notorious outfits.
Bad Influence (2025)
The Director: Chloé Wallace
The Cast: Alberto Olmo, Eléa Rochera, Mirela Balić
What It’s About: With her powerful family worried for her safety, a young heiress is given a personal bodyguard. To the surprise of no one, things take off between the two as they get closer.

The Director: Richard Linklater
The Cast: Glen Powell, Adria Arjona, Austin Amelio
What It’s About: A college professor who goes undercover as a hit man to bring down people wanting to kill their spouses finds himself in an increasingly dangerous situation after meeting a mysterious woman.

The Cast: Rachel Sennott, Molly Gordon, Polly Draper
What It’s About: If attending a funeral service with her parents wasn’t bad enough, directionless college student Danielle (Rachel Sennott) has a series of awkward encounters after running into both her sugar daddy and ex-girlfriend.
What To Expect: Though not the most risque movie on Netflix, Shiva Baby is as raunchy as it is awkward. With multiple lovers, messy situations, and some wild conversations along the way, there’s a lot to unpack… or undress in this under-the-radar 2021 movie.
Ibiza: Love Drunk (2018)
The Director: Alex Richanbach
The Cast: Gillian Jacobs, Vanessa Bayer, Richard Madden
What It’s About: A business trip to Barcelona becomes a life-changing and wildly romantic experience for a 30-year-old public relations manager after having a chance encounter with a famous DJ.

The Director: S.K. Dale
The Cast: Megan Fox, Michele Morrone, Madeline Zima
What It’s About: After bringing home a state-of-the-art robot to help out when his wife gets sick, a man’s life is thrown into disarray as the android becomes attracted to him.
What To Expect: If you want to see a movie where Megan Fox plays a robot that cleans, strips, and commits murder, then Subservience is a movie you won’t want to miss. With violence, a shower sex scene, and a plot about a different kind of wild robot, there’s a lot going on.
Mea Culpa (2024)
The Director: Tyler Perry
The Cast: Kelly Rowland, Trevante Rhodes, Nick Sagar
What It’s About: A Chicago defense attorney takes on the case of an artist accused of murdering his girlfriend, only to find herself caught in a steamy and dangerous relationship.

Happy Ending (2023)
The Director: Joosje Duk
The Cast: Gaite Jansen, Martijn Lakemeier, Joy Delima
What It’s About: When a couple decides to spice up their love life, they have no idea the journey they’re about to take will lead to some major complications.
What To Expect: Though not as intense as other sexually explicit movies on Netflix, Happy Ending isn’t necessarily a PG (or PG-13) movie at all. With a combination of nudity, sex scenes, and way too much awkwardness, there’s a lot to keep you entertained in this comedy.
Lust Stories (2018)
The Director: Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee, Karan Johar

What To Expect: You’ll find a little bit of everything here, but if you want more, there’s a follow-up film, Lust Stories 2, that should do the trick if you’re looking for even more emotional, romantic, and yes, steamy stories.
The Year I Started Masturbating (2022)
The Director: Erika Wasserman
The Cast: Katia Winter, Jesper Zuschlag
Based On: Sandra Dahlén’s Hallongrottan
What It’s About: Looking for a raunchy Swedish film that blurs the lines between comedy and drama, or love and lust?

After being dumped shortly before her 40th birthday, Hanna (Katia Winter) is forced to reevaluate her wishes and desires in life.

What It’s About: 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 fiancé has been cheating on her.
What To Expect: With elements of erotic dramas and revenge-driven thrillers, this film adaptation of Sue Hecker’s O Lado Bom de Ser Traida (The Good Side of Being Betrayed) pushes things to the extreme, both with its sensual scenes of sexuality and action-packed scenes. Those latter sequences will surely hold your attention between the film’s various sex scenes.

What To Expect: Fair Play doesn’t hold back when it comes to sexually explicit content, and its various sex scenes put it in the same category as other erotic thrillers like Basic Instinct, Indecent Proposal, and Disclosure, especially when the drama is turned up as the story progresses. However, things do get dark, so make sure to go into this movie with that in mind.
No Limit (2022)

The Cast: Camille Rowe, Sofiane Zermani
What It’s About: David M. Rosenthal’s 2022 French-language film, No Limit (Sous Emprise) centers on the relationship shared by young free-diver Roxana (Camille Rowe) and her coach, Pascal (Sofiane Zermani), one that is as intense in the bedroom as it is in the depths of the ocean.
