21 Sexy Movies and Shows You Can Stream on HBO Max Right Now

A horror movie about bloodthirsty vampires might not sound super sexy (or, like, maybe it does)! But in this one, Michael B. Jordan plays twins (!!) and Hailey Steinfeld’s character spits in his mouth. So, yeah, you’re gonna wanna give it a chance.

The hottest part: The aforementioned spit scene.

In addition to being an action-packed nail-biter of a movie, Love Lies Bleeding is a sexy queer romance with some top-notch sex scenes. Kristen Stewart plays Lou, a gym manager who falls for Jackie, a bodybuilder played by Katy O’Brian. But Lou’s family is complicated and violent, and she’ll go to every length to protect Jackie from the drama that ensues.

The hottest part: When Lou fingers Jackie in the bathroom, a little over 30 minutes into the film.

In Portrait of a Lady on Fire, a painter named Marianne is hired to secretly draw a portrait of a noblewoman named Héloïse, who refuses to sit for it. The portrait is set to be delivered to her betrothed, but Héloïse doesn’t want to get married, so Marianne must pretend to be a paid companion in order to get close enough to paint her. And trust, she gets close. Fair warning: This one’s a tearjerker.

The hottest part: About 1:22 in—just trust.

While the first two Magic Mike movies are (tragically) no longer on HBO Max, you can still find the latest installment in the series: Magic Mike’s Last Dance, in which Channing Tatum reprises his role as Mike Lane, a male stripper who’s down on his luck. He meets Max (played by Salma Hayek Pinault) who offers him a job in London producing and choreographing a play. Tons of sexual chemistry (and spoiler alert: some actual sex) ensues.

The hottest part: The lap dance Mike gives Max at the beginning. You’ll be sweating within the first 15 minutes.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock since the ’90s, it’s safe to say you know about Sex and the City—especially its raunchy sex scenes. If you want to take a shot every time you see a topless woman or a butt-naked man, well, good luck.

The hottest part: It’s hard to pick just one hot sex scene from the show or the movies, but my personal fave? When Samatha goes down on a woman for the first time. Although a little clumsy, it’s undeniable that this scene is top-notch.

The Sex and the City revival (which got renewed for a second season but was ultimately canceled after season 3) finds Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda juggling life in their 50s, and although not as steamy as the original series, it wouldn’t be Sex and the City without, well, sex in the city.

The hottest part: Miranda having her first queer sex experience with Che in Carrie’s kitchen…as Carrie recovers from surgery.

A group of girlfriends in New York City go through all the trials and tribulations that come with your 20s, including friendships, relationships, careers, and life transitions.

The hottest part: There are dozens of sex scenes to chose from, but who could forget the one where Desi gets up close and personal with Marnie’s booty? Classic.

Basically the male L Word, the Looking series follows the lives (and the sex lives!) of a group of gay men in San Francisco. The 2014 series was beloved by its small but mighty fan base during its short two-season run, and in 2016, the creators threw their fans a bone in the form of Looking: The Movie, which many folks feel offered a sense of closure that the series did not. Both the show and the movie are on HBO Max and full of enough sexy all-male interludes to keep you up alllll night.

The hottest part: Any sex scene between Jonathan Groff and Russell Tovey.

One of Angelina Jolie’s most classic performances, Gia tells the true story of troubled beauty Gia Carangi, a lesbian from working class Philly and one of the first ever supermodels. Although the film explores the real-life tragedy that she faced (she was a heroin addict and died from AIDS complications at age 26), it also explores her sexuality and sense of self in a manner that’s super raw, super gay, and super, super horny.

The hottest part: Among the many naked moments in this film, the most iconic scene involves Gia and her lover Linda kissing naked through the openings in a chain link fence.

This show is unpredictable and wild. Jude Law stars as a rebellious new pope who ushers in an era of chaos for the Catholic church. Expect lots of full frontal nudity and a threesome scene that might just blow you away. God bless.

The hottest part: The MMF threesome in season 1, episode 6.

It’s no shocker that there’s a lot of horny action packed into a documentary (well, sorta) with a title like this one, but here we are. Released in early 2022, this HBO Original follows a newly engaged couple as they navigate opening up their relationship and eventually trying polyamory. They explore sleeping with and dating new people separately and together, and audiences watch as they cope with new feelings of jealousy and insecurity brought on by their shifting dynamic.

The hottest part: Basically every make-out. And the sex party.

This one is for all the Art Hoes™ out there who want to get dirty in black and white and in French. Chantal Akerman’s 1975 film about a woman mourning the end of a relationship culminates with a legendary lesbian sex scene that lasts more than 10 minutes. Je Tu Il Elle is considered one of the most significant films in the lesbian canon because the sex is not at all driven by the male gaze, making it righteous and sexy all at once. What a treat!

The hottest part: The final 10 minutes of the film are pure nudity, sex, and desire.

This 1985 film is still celebrated today for its nearly all-woman cast and its rejection of the male gaze. File this one under: longing lesbian looks, sexual tension, and lots of full frontal—all with a heavy dose of real passion. Plus, it’s set against a stunning desert backdrop, which never hurts.

The hottest parts: When Cay and Vivian finally break the tension and hook up, I swear you can see the sparks from space. Super hot.

Again, this title kinda says it all. Mindy Kaling’s charming series is jam-packed with hormones and lust and tons of deliciously horny scenes. On top of all that, it’s genuinely hilarious. Come for the sex, stay for the heart.

The hottest part: There are sooo many hot moments in this show, like in season 1, episode 4, when Leighton rides her brother’s friend. Or how about the next episode, when Leighton and Alicia finally kiss? But what really takes the cake is season 1, episode 7, during Kimberly and Nico’s sex montage. Doing it on a desk never fails.

Created by Issa Rae, Insecure is all about one’s woman life as she navigates her relationships. But with all those relationships obviously comes lots and lots and lots of sex.

The hottest part: Issa and Lawrence’s sex is just *chef’s kiss*. In the first season, after she cheated on him with another man, she goes out with her boyfriend and seduces him—whether out of guilt or as a way to mend their relationship, it’s unknown but it’s still damn hot.

The plot: One woman (Jurnee Smollett) travels across the U.S. in an attempt to find her missing father. But pair Jurnee with a sexy lead like Jonathan Majors and you know there’s going to be some fire sex scenes.

The hottest part: I’m partial to the bathroom sex scene in episode 3. Gotta love a nice pick-me-up-and-place-me-on-the-sink quickie in the bathroom.

Yeah, so, you can’t not have Game of Thrones in this roundup. Even if it’s not your cup of tea plot-wise, the consensual sex scenes are definitely top-notch. There’s probably someone getting it in in every other episode.

The hottest part: Out of the many sex scenes, the best one had to be between Missandei and her lover, Grey Worm. Despite Grey Worm being castrated, he has no problem going down on her to please her.

Although the show is centered on high school kids who have a way better sex life than most, it also deals with very real, everyday situations like finding acceptance, battling depression, and how to cope with drug abuse.

The hottest part: While there are plenty of sex scenes to choose from, my favorite sexy moment is when Kat finds her sensual side and becomes a man-eater. In one particular scene, she hooks up with a guy she met at the carnival, and when he asked if she orgasmed, she told him no and simply walked away.
