Welcome to Long Live the Sex Scene, a special project by Cosmopolitan that explores why these steamy television and movie moments truly matter, especially right now. Join us as we rewind, replay, and then rewind them all over again.
Good news for literally anyone with an Amazon Prime account (so, like, everyone???): Prime Video is straight up stacked with sexy movies. We’re talking full-on chemistry, slow burns that pay off, and plotlines that can make you feel things (aka take your pants off). And because you already use Prime to panic-order toilet paper and unnecessary throw pillows at 11 p.m., why not take advantage of the actually-fun-to-watch softcore options too?
That’s where this list comes in. Whether you’re feeling lazy, horny, or just craving some high-quality onscreen tension, we rounded up the sexiest movies on Amazon Prime that are 100 percent worth hitting play on (ideally in sync with your fave sex toy, obvi).
Now, to manage expectations—these movies aren’t quite as graphic as real porn, but honestly? Sometimes the lead-up is even hotter than that sex itself. And if you are in the mood for something a little more explicit, that’s cool too. Just make sure you’re supporting the good stuff (read: paid, ethical porn where every worker is treated fairly). But for a sexy date night, a little fantasy inspo or even to use as foreplay before having your own offscreen fun, there’s literally nothing better to hit play on.
Not all of these options are included in a basic Prime membership, but most are available to rent for $3 to $4 (aka less than your latte and way more satisfying). Some live behind paid channels like Showtime or Starz, but most offer free trials if you feel like getting sneaky. Just think of it as the modern version of going to Blockbuster (RIP).
So without further opening credits, here are 23 sexy movies to stream on Amazon Prime. Bookmark this for the next time you’re bored, restless, or just in the mood for some seriously steamy cinema.
‘Babygirl’
Meet: The movie everyone was talking about in 2024. Nicole Kidman stars as Romy, a high-powered CEO who starts hooking up with her hot young intern (Harris Dickinson) after nearly two decades in a sexually unsatisfying marriage. (Her husband is played by Antonio Banderas, so yeah, everyone in this movie is hot.) What follows is a full-on sexual reawakening, complete with hotel hookups, office tension, and a lot of dog metaphors. Is it realistic? No. Is it hot? Hell yes.
The Hottest Part:
The motel scene. That’s it. That’s the moment. It’s sweaty, intense, and surprisingly tender (and yes, she finishes. Multiple times).
‘Pretty Thing’
Alicia Silverstone plays Sophie, a high-powered exec who hooks up with a much younger cater-waiter (Karl Glusman) after a fancy party, and things get intense fast. We’re talking alleyway kisses, hotel hookups, a surprise Paris trip, and an obsession spiral that goes from hot to kinda terrifying. It’s sexy, it’s messy, and it’s giving “Yes, I make decisions because someone had good arms, sry.”
The Hottest Part:
The first hotel hookup has everything: tension, eye contact, way too many clothes on the floor, and that ~I shouldn’t be doing this~ energy.
‘The Idea of You’
Anne Hathaway shines as Solène in the movie adaptation of Robinne Lee’s novel The Idea of You, where her character, a 40-year-old mother and art gallery owner, falls for Hayes, the 24-year-old lead singer of fictional band August Moon (played by Nicholas Galitzine). Their steamy relationship turns into real feels, and we won’t spoil the ending, but let’s just say the journey is emotional and oh-so-sexy.
The Hottest Part:
There are tons of sex scenes in The Idea of You, but Soléne and Hayes’ New York weekend was the first time they really did it. And phew, was it hot.
‘Red, White, & Royal Blue’
Another novel-to-film adaptation, Casey McQuistons’s page-turner comes to life and follows Taylor Zakhar Perez as Alex Claremont, the son of the President of the United States (played by Uma Thurman!), as he falls in love with Britain’s Prince Henry (perfectly portrayed by Nicholas Galitzine).
The Hottest Part:
The couple’s first sex scene, about 50 minutes in—which takes place in Paris, no less—and feels suuuper intimate and erotic.
‘Don’t Worry Darling’
Florence Pugh’s character, Alice, lives a seemingly idyllic life in the suburbs with her husband, Jack, until she starts to notice that things in the neighborhood aren’t necessarily as they seem. Is this film a little creepy? Yes. But it’s also extremely hot, and with both Florence and Harry in lead roles, you won’t want to look away—trust.
The Hottest Part:
There is some great sex in this film, but by a landslide, the sexiest part is when Harry Styles goes down on Florence Pugh right on the dining table.
‘Disobedience’
Disobedience follows Ronit (Rachel Weisz), a photographer who, years before the events of the film, was shunned by her Orthodox Jewish community for her attraction to her friend Esti (Rachel McAdams). But when Ronit returns to her community for her fathe’'s funeral, she’s reunited with Esti, and old, forbidden sparks reignite.
The Hottest Part:
Ronit and Esti’s highly anticipated sex scene in a London hotel room.
‘Duck Butter’
Alia Shawkat and Laia Costa play two women who agree to spend 24 hours together—and have sex once per hour—to see how well they can get to know each other and how their relationship changes.
The Hottest Part:
The piano scene, where Naima and Sergio have steamy, intimate sex while playing the piano.
‘Black Swan’
Come for the ballerina rivalry drama, stay for the steamy Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis sex scene. Ballerinas Nina (Natalie) and Lily (Mila) are each in the running to replace their ballet’s prima ballerina for Swan Lake, and it’s safe to say things get…complicated? Sexy? Extremely creepy? You’ll never be bored, we can tell you that much.
The Hottest Part:
Nina’s masturbation scene is extremely erotic, but the aforementioned sex scene between the two rival ballerinas is one you can’t miss.
‘Jennifer’s Body’
Megan Fox plays Jennifer, a popular high school cheerleader who gets possessed by a demon and starts, uh, killing boys. Amanda Seyfried plays her best friend Needy, who spends the whole movie trying to figure out what’s wrong with Jennifer and ends up, well…we won’t say more.
The Hottest Part:
The sleepover kiss (!!) scene between Jennifer and Needy, not to mention the tension between them throughout the whole movie.
‘Fleabag’
Both seasons of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag are available on Amazon Prime, and if you haven’t already marathoned them, then, hi, welcome to your Friday-night plans. This show follows Phoebe’s Fleabag (yes, that’s her character’s name) as she navigates grief, her small business, her relationships, her sex life, her family, and more.
The Hottest Part:
Both seasons of Fleabag have some decent sex scenes, but nothing tops her sex scene (and really, all the flirty, tense scenes) between her and the (Hot) Priest. Kneel?! RUFKM?
‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’
Beyond the fact that this movie stars three of the hottest people on the planet (Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, and Scarlett Johansson), it’s legitimately a very good watch. Javier plays Juan Antonio, an artist who invites two friends on vacation in Spain (Vicky, played by Rebecca Hall, and Cristina, played by Scarlett) to spend the weekend with him. Cruz plays his ex-wife, Maria Elena, who’s still in the picture.
The Hottest Part:
The darkroom scene between Vicky and Maria Elena is v hot, but so is every single intimate scene in this movie, so what we’re saying is: You should watch the whole thing.
‘The Voyeurs’
You honestly can’t make a “sexy Prime movies and shows” list without including the 2021 erotic thriller, The Voyeurs. The film—starring Sydney Sweeney and Ben Hardy—follows a just-out-of-college couple who get a real kick out of secretly watching their very hot, very sexually charged neighbors do all kinds of naughty things.
The Hottest Part:
While the movie gets more thriller-y toward the end, the sex scenes start at about six minutes in, and for a while, they just keep coming. If you have a voyeur or exhibitionist fantasy, you’ll be panting right along with the actors.
‘I Love Dick’
Looking for nudity? Allow me to suggest I Love Dick, a 2017 Amazon series that, as the name suggests, is pretty damn sexual. In short, a married couple moves to Marfa, Texas, where they quickly fall into a strange love triangle with the titular “Dick” (Kevin Bacon). This bond results in many different sexuations and a whole bunch of unexpected full frontal.
The Hottest Part:
The very first episode will make rough sex lovers rejoice, and the steaminess continues as new character connections form. Because it’s only one season long, it’s an easy weekend (or day, no judgments) watch if you want eroticism aplenty.
‘Secretary’
Secretary is your standard HR nightmare, thanks to a Dom/sub relationship that blossoms between a boss (James Spader) and his secretary (Maggie Gyllenhaal). This is basically the critically acclaimed Fifty Shades before Fifty Shades, so if you liked everything the Red Room of Pain had to offer (minus all the problematic stuff), you’ll definitely be into this flick.
The Hottest Part:
Everything you want out of a BDSM movie can be found here, from spankings on a desk to power dynamics that’ll make you squirm (in a hot way). One reviewer called it a “sexual awakening,” so it’s clearly worth a watch...then a rewatch.
‘Fifty Shades of Grey’
You already know the story: shy college senior Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) meets broody billionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan), gets introduced to his Red Room of Pain, and suddenly finds herself tangled in a world of blindfolds, ben wa balls, and intense eye contact. Even if you’ve seen it (or ironically hate-watched it), the Fifty Shades trilogy is always worth a rewatch for the sheer amount of sex, emotional chaos, and elevator makeouts. All three movies—Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed—are available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime.
The Hottest Part:
Honestly, where do we begin? The ice cube scene in Fifty Shades of Grey is iconic, but the Fifty Shades Darker boat hookup—and the masked ball foreplay leading up to it—might be the sexiest moment in the whole trilogy.
‘All About Sex’
Three 20-somethings navigate their personal and professional lives in this 2020 dramedy that’s, you guessed it, All About Sex. There are a lot of different erotic scenes woven into the story as each woman tries to find her own path. Think of it as a movie version of Sex and the City (everything *before* Carrie’s wedding), but like, with even more sex.
The Hottest Part:
Even though this movie has a lot of feel-good elements you can expect from a ~finding yourself~ film, there’s still an undercurrent of sexiness that’ll make you feel frisky when it’s over. My favorite part involves a take-me-now hookup on a desk, but there’s seriously something for everyone here.
‘Eyes Wide Shut’
As one of the most iconically sexy movies of all time, Eyes Wide Shut is a cult classic you’re basically required to watch. After Alice (Nicole Kidman) tells her husband Bill (Tom Cruise) that she fantasized about another man, Bill becomes obsessed with the idea of hooking up with someone else. Anyone else. He winds up at an exclusive sex club which gives him (and you!) a very front-row look at all types of kinks and fetishes. The film isn’t free since it’s so popular, but you can rent or buy it on Prime, which is good since it has serious rewatch value.
The Hottest Part:
Not only is this movie exceedingly hot, but it’s also artfully done and thought-provoking (and a little spooky?), which makes it a great option if you want sex and substance. The hottest scene, though, is when Bill arrives at the salacious gathering and is exposed to endless sexual acts taking place around him.
‘The People I’ve Slept With’
When Angela (Anna Cheung) realizes she’s pregnant, she scrambles to figure out who the father is since she had a lot of sex—with multiple people—in the course of the month. The People I’ve Slept With is sort of like a sexier Definitely Maybe with a little bit more public sex.
The Hottest Part:
While there’s a lot of sex in this movie, it’s not as graphic as some of the other offerings. Still, the plot is cute, and Anna Cheung channeling her inner dominatrix for a scene will forever live rent-free in my mind.
‘The Overnight’
Meeting people in a new city is hard, so when a married couple (Adam Scott and Taylor Schilling) gets a dinner invitation from potential future friends in The Overnight, they eagerly accept. What they don’t expect, though, is that the casual meal will turn into an unexpected swinging/orgy situation. It’s funny, it’s sexy, and it’ll make you eager to accept every gathering your attractive neighbors invite you to.
The Hottest Part:
The whoooole movie feels like foreplay, so you won’t need to fast-forward to get to the good stuff—it’s all good stuff. FWIW, though, it gets very real when the sun rises, so keep watching for what might be the most unexpectedly expected happy ending ever.
‘The Handmaiden’
This movie has lowkey been described as a porno with a plot. Set in 1930s Korea during the Japanese occupation, Lady Hideko (played by Kim Min-hee) hires Sook-he (played by Kim Tae-ri) as a handmaiden. However, she doesn’t know that the handmaiden is actually a criminal hired by Count Fujiwara (played by Ha Jung-woo) to help him seduce the Lady so he can marry her, steal her fortune, and send her to a madhouse. Sadly, his plan is ruined when the two women fall in love and have plenty of hot sex.
The Hottest Part:
I mean, as I said, the whole movie is hot, but my favorite part is when the two women take a bath together, which quickly turns steamy AF.
