If you’re in the market for a movie night with a side of spice, we’ve got some great news. There’s a wide array of sexy movies on Hulu that happen to feature some pretty stellar sex scenes. Whether you’re in the mood for a rom-com, a psychological thriller, or a low-key Indie film, there are plenty of steamy titles on the streaming platform that boast some of the hottest onscreen sex in movie history—ones you can literally watch right now.
Of course, we’d be remiss not to make it oh-so-very clear that these movies are not of the family friendly variety, so you’re gonna wanna make sure you’re watching these solo or with a partner (or, you know, anyone you won’t feel awkward potentially getting turned on in front of). You’ve been warned! Also, while many of these sexy, streamable scenes are just as hot as porn, remember that even though you can easily get off to movie sex scenes, it’s no substitute for supporting sex workers by paying for your porn. (And, yes, there are plenty of safe, ethical porn sites and creators whose work is absolutely worth your money.) Also, if content warnings matter to you around violence or assault, make sure you check the Parents’ Guide on IMDb for a few of these.
It’s also worth noting that Hulu has several different subscription options, and not all of these movies are available on the basic, $7.99 per month plan (or $17.99 per month without ads). You might need a channel add-on, like Starz, Showtime, Cinemax, or Max, which can range from anywhere between $9.99 and $15.99 (with and without ads). Some packages include Hulu plus live TV, Disney +, and ESPN +, which might be great for your content-viewing needs but not so great for your wallet (that subscription is $14.99 per month, or $24.99 per month without ads). Another (spendier) option: Adding Hulu + Live TV, which will further expand your viewing choices. This plan costs $76.99 per month, or $89.99 per month without ads.
The good news is that whatever your plan looks like, there are plenty of picks on this list for you to choose from. So, without further ado, here are 25 of the best sexy movies on Hulu to stream right now. (Oh, and if you don’t have a Hulu subscription, worry not: There’s tons of great sexy movies over on Netflix, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime.) Dim the lights, grab a glass of wine (and maybe a sex toy or two), and get ready for the ultimate sexy movie marathon featuring the horniest content Hulu has to offer. Happy hot and heavy streaming!
Deep Water
A quintessential erotic thriller, Deep Water follows the tumultuous marriage of wife Melinda (Ana de Armas) and husband Vic (Ben Affleck). To avoid divorce, Vic allows Melinda to take lovers–but when they start to disappear, he’s considered Suspect #1.
Fire Island
This gay rom-com is inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, but with a modern (queer) twist. Best friends Noah (Joel Kim Booster) and Howie (Bowen Yang) live it up during a wild (and hotter than hot) summer at The Fire Island Pines.
Love & Other Drugs
Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Jamie, a pharmaceutical sales rep who starts hooking up with Anne Hathaway's Maggie, who suffers from early onset Parkinsons. This movie will def pull at your heartstrings, but the (many) sex scenes between Jamie and Maggie are 🔥🔥🔥.
Sanctuary
Sanctuary tells the story of the relationship between dominatrix Rebecca (Margaret Qualley) and her rich client Hal (Chirstopher Abbott) as he tries to end his secret relationship with her after learning he is about to inherit his father’s fortune. Things get messy (and steamy!) in this twisted tale with v hot sex scenes.
Sex Appeal
This teenage rom-com goes back to high school with Avery (Mika Abdalla) , a perfectionist student, who wants to ‘nail’ her first time having sex with her long distance boyfriend. She asks for help (and practice with) her guy BFF Larson (Jake Short), and modern-day teen sex comedy ensues.
Trust
Trust tells the story of a young married couple Brooke (Victoria Justice) and Owen (Matthew Daddario) as they try to build their lives and careers in New York City. Based on the play Push by Kristen Lazarian, they each face their own extramarital temptations.
Into the Deep
Feeling a horror movie? Into The Deep delivers nail-biting drama (and, ahem, tons of sexual tension) between strangers Jess (Ella-Rae Smith) and Ben (Matthew Daddario) as they spend time together on Ben’s boat during a whirlwind romantic getaway. When Lexie (Jessica Alexander) joins the trip, Jess realizes she’s in trouble–and all is not what it seems.
Watch NowParis, 13th District
This black-and-white French film based on the novels by Adrian Tominegets gets super steamy as it follows the intermingled love lives of three women–Émilie (Lucie Zhang), Nora (Noémie Merlant) and Amber (Jehnny Beth) and one man, Camille (Makita Samba). Their relationships vacillate from friendships to hookups to romances and everything in-between in this exploration of modern relationships.
Chloe
Julianne Moore's character Catherine suspects her husband David (played by Liam Neeson) is cheating on her, so she hires a sex worker named Chloe (played by Amanda Seyfried) to seduce him to see if he takes the bait. Chaos (and very dark consequences) ensue.
Nymphomaniac, Vol. 1
This dark drama tells the story of a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac (Charlotte Gainsbourg) who recalls her erotic past to a man named Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) who takes care of her after she is found beaten in an alley. This movie (which, as the name suggests, also has a Vol II) features hyper-realistic and flat out graphic sex scenes—so, yeah, probs one you’re gonna wanna double-check for content warnings!
The Hating Game
When rivalry turns to romance, there’s sure to be some super hot sex scenes. The Hating Game tells the story of competitive colleagues Lucy (Lucy Hale) and Joshua (Austin Stowell) as they start off hating each other to ripping each other’s clothes off. We love a good enemies to (extremely horny) lovers plot!
Normal People
Okay, fine, so this one is technically a short series, but there are 12 episodes and each one feels long enough where this could technically be just one very long movie, if you close your eyes and believe. Plus, we'd be remiss not to include this oh-so-sexy series that follows young couple Marianne and Colin— who started off as secret friends in high school and whose relationship evolves as they grow into young adulthood.
What Happens In Vegas
When Joy's (Cameron Diaz) fiancé dumps her and Jack (Ashton Kutcher) looses his job, they both head to Las Vegas for a wild vacation on a whim—and end up winning big and getting drunkenly married in the process.
Hustlers
A group of strippers at a popular Manhattan club scam their Wall Street bro clients out of thousands of dollars. Based on real-life events recounted in a 2015 New York magazine article, this movie stars Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo, Cardi B, Lili Reinhart, Keke Palmer—all your faves as extremely hot strippers. (Ps: You need to have the Hulu + Live TV subscription to access this one—the link below will take you to where you can sign up!)
The Ugly Truth
The chemistry between Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler is out of this world in this rom-com about a morning TV producer who agrees to let the star of her segment teach her how to get a guy to fall in love with her. Is it predictable? Yes. Is it hot AF? Also yes. (This is another Hulu + Live TV subscription add—same link deal as above!)
Pretty Woman
A ‘90s classic, Pretty Woman stars Julia Roberts as a sex worker named Vivian who captures the heart of Richard Gere’s Edward—a wealthy businessman who hires Vivian for the weekend. You will absolutely not want to miss the part where they do it on top of a piano. Yep—a piano.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Don’t let the fact that it’s a period piece stop you: This film is hot. A female artist is tasked with surreptitiously painting a woman who has refused to sit for a portrait (the painting is for her husband-to-be and she’d rather not, ya know, be married off to a stranger). You know where this is going—the two women are immediately into each other.
Good Luck to You Leo Grande
This movie made a big splash when it came out last June, and for good freaking reason. Emma Thompson plays a widowed schoolteacher who hires an extremely hot young sex worker (played by Daryl McCormack) in an attempt to make up for all the sexual satisfaction she missed out on in her unfulfilling married life. The result is a funny, sexy, genuinely touching film that absolutely belongs on your Must Watch RTFN list.
Sharp Stick
Anyone who’s watched (or is currently re-watching) Girls knows that Lena Dunham does not eff around when it comes to portraying sex in all its wild, sometimes awkward glory. In Sharp Stick, one of Dunham’s latest directorial efforts, a 26-year-old loses her virginity to her married employer. Hi, we love a messy dramedy.
Ammonite
Similarly to Portrait of a Lady on Fire, this features old-timey sex that’s fun partly because it’s taboo for its time. V loosely inspired by a real-life paleontologist, the film imagines a (HOT) relationship with an unhappily married woman. Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan have chemistry, y’all.
