Like death and taxes, bad sex is an unavoidable part of life. Not every time can be as sexy and hot as we see in the movies? Of course, we tend to forget that plenty of movies offer some pretty uncomfortable and weird sex scenes. Sometimes they’re played for laughs, and sometimes they’re so awkward that it’s impossible to laugh at them. From the hilarious to the downright ridiculous, here are ten movies that feature some of the most least-sexy sex scenes.

'American Pie' (1999)

Look, most teenagers have awkward and weird sex, but Jason Biggs’ Jim Levinstein takes the cake — or, err, the pie — for the most uncomfortable sexual experience. I’m sure I’m not the only one concerned about how hot that pie was, right? Especially the pan? [Where to stream American Pie]

'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' (2008)

Forgetting Sarah Marshall takes some cringe-worthy moments and pushes them as far as possible (I’m looking at you, Jason Segal’s penis). But the most awkward moment happens during the sex-off in which the titular character and Segal’s recently dumped puppet musician overcompensate while sharing a hotel room wall.

'Bridesmaids' (2011)

It’s kind of a bummer that a megahottie like Jon Hamm can be the worst in bed. It really gives you some perspective, huh? [Where to stream Bridesmaids]

'Howard the Duck' (1986)

The idea of a grown woman having sex with an anthropomorphic duck from outer space is befuddling for a few reasons. How does it work? (No, seriously. HOW DOES IT WORK?) But the biggest question I have is, at one point between meeting Howard and jumping into bed with him did Lea Thompson’s rock star hottie think, “Ohhhhh, yeaaaah, I’m gonna fuck that duck.” [Where to stream Howard the Duck]

'Swordfish' (2001)

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYZotrrUlzo] Q: What’s the worst possible situation in which to receive a blow job? A: With a gun to your head while being watched by John Travolta. (Probably not the first/last time this happened, to be honest.) [Where to stream Swordfish]

'Watchmen' (2009)

In Zac Snyder’s stylish but overblown adaptation of Frank Miller’s classic graphic novel, two superheroes get it on while grooving to Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” which is perhaps the biggest boner-killer of a song ever recorded. And then afterward the aircraft they’re in shoots out blue fire when they climax. (Ew.) [Where to stream Watchmen]

'Don't Look Now' (1973)

Sometime between the drowning death of their daughter and a visit from a blind clairvoyant who spookily sees the aforementioned dead daughter, Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie’s grieving couple have what is possibly the longest sex scene in movie history that is so incredibly awkward and unsexy that it must be seen to be believed.

'The Dreamers' (2003)

A three-way relationship with a pair of beautiful French cinephiles isn’t a terrible idea, but when the beautiful French couple in question are actually twins? Abort! [Where to stream The Dreamers]

'Showgirls' (1995)

Showgirls is a trashy epic, and Elizabeth Berkley’s Nomi Malone is like a master class in bad acting. But the sex scene with Nomi and Kyle MacLachlan’s Zack in a pool is a staggering achivement in awkwardness and discomfort. [Where to stream Showgirls]
