You never forget your first time. And that includes when you saw sex for the first time, not just participated in it.

The Decider staff offered up the movies and shows that made their jaws drop and their eyes pop, when they were first exposed to doin’ the nasty in film form. From Tom Cruise sweating up against a book shelf to Reese Witherspoon and Mark Whalberg’s eventful amusement ride to classic Kate and Leo in that steamy car, these are the stars that made us adults through their on-screen performances. From action to romance flicks, there’s a place for sex scenes in all genres; and yes, you know iconic sex film Wild Things is included, too.

Some of us had no idea what we were watching, some of us were told to look away, and some of us…probably rewound the scene a few times to truly take it all in. And we know we’re not alone: head on over to Twitter and tell us @Decider what your first sex scene viewing experience was.

From awkward to awesome, click through above to learn which images (and positions) were seared in our minds forever, in a good way. Thank you, movie stars, for making us the pervs we are today.
