The Handmaid's Tale
In episode 5 of the Hulu series, "Faithful", Offred (Elizabeth Moss) sneaks over to Nick's (Max Minghella) apartment for the hottest sex scene of the whole series. The sex is on HER terms, for HER enjoyment. And you bet that means she's gonna climb on top and take control of her own happy ending...at least for one night.

Ever wondered what it would be like if James Bond were a woman? Watch this scene. An innocent enough kiss at the bar between Charlize Theron's Lorraine Broughton and Sofia Boutella's Delphine Lasalle leads to an intense make out -- but it might not be quite the climax you're expecting.

Marvel's Jessica Jones
It takes a real superhero woman to break the damn bed during sex! But when Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter) get together, what would you expect? The connection these two share is there physically, for sure, but it's also there emotionally. Which, you know, always makes the sex better.

When it matters, a strong woman will let down her guard and show her vulnerability to express her feelings -- both physically and emotionally. That Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps' characters finally bang here is as exciting as the presence of full consent, a condom, and a Maxwell jam. You go, girl.

"Love me," Maude (Julianne Moore) demands of The Dude (Jeff Bridges), while standing over him wearing his robe -- at least for a moment. He's smart to oblige -- it is always wise to listen to a lady who knows what she wants.
