Ana in the Red Room in the first Fifty Shades of Grey — **Sexy Movie with A Super Kinky Sex Scene:** *Fifty Shades of Grey*
**What's So Kinky About It?:** *Fifty Shades of Grey* became an international phenomenon because of the way it made BDSM play accessible (and kind of...vanilla) for the masses. The first film is a warped fairy tale where the virgin maid must submit herself to the whims of her tyrannical prince. By far and away, though, the kinkiest stuff happens in the confines of the infamous Red Room. Photo: Universal Pictures

Horseplay scene from Secretary — **Sexy Movie with A Super Kinky Sex Scene:** *Secretary*
**What's So Kinky About It?:** This James Spader/Maggie Gyllenhaal cult classic is intrinsically about *kink*. The film follows a shy woman who comes alive when she and her boss turn their workplace relationship into an exploration of dark desires. Expect sub/dom play, spanking, and literal horseplay. (We're partial to the last.)Photo: Lions Gate Films

Kim Basinger touching herself in 9 1/2 weeks — **Sexy Movie with A Super Kinky Sex Scene:** *91/2 Weeks*
**What's So Kinky About It?:** Like many other films on this list, it's hard to pick one singular sex scene that redefines kink. *9 1/2 Weeks* was, for many moviegoers, the first mainstream film to be all about a tawdry boundary-pushing relationship. However, the sexiest scene may not be about self-pleasure but uh...devouring what's in the refrigerator. Photo: Everett Collection

Orgy scene from Eyes Wide Shut — **Sexy Movie with A Super Kinky Sex Scene:** *Eyes Wide Shut*
**What's So Kinky About It?:** *Eyes Wide Shut* lured audiences in with a super tawdry ad showcasing movie stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in a naughty naked position. However, once people saw Kubrick's film, they realized the kinkiest part of the whole opus was a feverish orgy scene centered around the password "Fidelio." Photo: Warner Bros.

Peach scene from Call Me By Your Name — **Sexy Movie with A Super Kinky Sex Scene:** *Call Me By Your Name*
**What's So Kinky About It?:** *Call Me By Your Name* is a beautiful film about the epic wonder of true love...and there's that peach scene. Young Elio (Timothée Chalemet) is so taken with his lover Oliver (Armie Hammer) that he pleasures himself with a hollowed out peach. Things get even kinkier when Oliver eats it.Photo: Sony Pictures Classics

BDSM scene from Duke of Burgundy — **Sexy Movie with A Super Kinky Sex Scene:** *The Duke of Burgundy*
**What's So Kinky About It?:** Like *Fifty Shades of Grey*, *The Duke of Burgundy* focuses on an intense BDSM romance. However, this sapphic indie film takes things a bit further by playing with the intense psychological fallout of one such relationship. Let's just say it turns out the submissive partner has more power than you might think...Photo: Artificial Eye

Spanking scene from A Dangerous Method — **Sexy Movie with A Super Kinky Sex Scene:** *A Dangerous Method*
**What's So Kinky About It?:** While *A Dangerous Method* might skimp on romantic interludes, it is a spanking fan's dream. The film tells the story of Carl Jung's early psychological treatments, focusing on his intense relationship with patient Sabina Spielrein. These treatment include a lot of spanking...and a lot of orgasms. Photo: Sony Pictures Classics

Sex scene from Love — **Sexy Movie with A Super Kinky Sex Scene:** *Love*
**What's So Kinky About It?:** Gaspar Noé's *Love* is possibly the most infamous film streaming on Netflix. The lush indie film is basically an art house pornography film, full of explicit sex scenes, threesomes, and orgies. Noé tries to use all this intimacy to say something about the human heart, but let's be real...we're still thinking about the up-close-and-very-personal full frontal opening scene. Photo: Wild Bunch

Naked body and woman with just undies on lying in bed in The Dreamers — **Sexy Movie with A Super Kinky Sex Scene:** *The Dreamers*
**What's So Kinky About It?:** Well, it's hard to pick one especially kinky thing about *The Dreamers*. Maybe it's the nudity, or the nudges towards threeways. But the kinkiest part is probably -- we're just betting -- the incest. Twins Theo and Isabelle have a *very* close relationship. (Yes, that's them above.)Photo: Everett Collection

Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz barely covered up in The Counselor — **Sexy Movie with A Super Kinky Sex Scene:** *The Counselor*
**What's So Kinky About It?:** *The Counselor* is a difficult film that features a bizarre conspiracy, a grisly movie star death, and one of the weirdest sex scenes of all time. To put her boyfriend in his place, Cameron Diaz decides to have sex with his car. Doesn't sound too kinky? Well, imagine Javier Bardem looking up at Diaz, spread eagle humping his windshield. In the movie he uses the term "bottom feeder" to describe the sight. That's all we'll say about that.Photo: Everett Collection

When Fifty Shades of Grey came out, it introduced kink to the masses. At long last, mainstream America knew the perverse pleasure of BDSM, spanking play, roleplaying, and the rest. But Fifty Shades of Grey isn’t the first movie to dive into the dirty world of kink. There are tons of sensual sex scenes that tease the senses and push our boundaries to the outer limits.

Some of these films feature a preponderance of full frontal sex scenes. We’re talking explicit hookups, tawdry threeways, and legit orgies. (Those are the somewhat obvious ones, if you ask me.) Other films focus all the drama on one intense relationship that breaks the rules. We’re talking the messy eroticism of 9 1/2 Weeks, the dark imbalanced relationship of The Duke of Burgundy, and the kinky cult classic Secretary.

But when we’re talking about kink, what we’re really talking about is consensual transgression. You know, the moments between lovers that go beyond what ordinary couples would do. These are scenes that are built on trust, and can therefore be unbearably sexy even without traditional intercourse. Think that crazy car scene in The Counselor, the infamous Call Me By Your Name peach scene, or the very naughty one-on-one therapy sessions in A Dangerous Method.

Get your safe words ready, partners. These are the 10 kinkiest sex scenes ever.
