The Sexiest Movies of 2024
From Challengers to Love Lies Bleeding to Drive Away Dolls and more, these 🥵 films deserve a spot on your watchlist.
If there’s one thing we love, it’s a sexy movie. And while there’s no shortage of sexed-up cinema out there for your viewing pleasure—from romantic yet X-rated movies to erotic thrillers to steamy picks of all kinds readily available on Netflix, Hulu, and/or your streaming platform of choice—best believe there are tons of brand new hot and heavy flicks set to grace our screens this year. And, because we love ya, we’ve gone ahead and rounded up some of the most anticipated films of the year that promise to bring a little heat to your next movie date. These are the sexiest movies of 2024 (so far, anyway).
Now, while not all of these picks are necessarily dripping with the kinds of sex scenes that could easily be mistaken for your favorite porn films, they all feature—at minimum!—some seriously steamy undertones. From the highly anticipated, heavily memed Challengers (aka the film that launched a thousand Zendaya threesome memes) to high-octane lesbians on the run in Drive-Away Dolls, these are the films you’re gonna wanna keep an eye out for this year if you’re looking for a viewing experience that will have you feeling some type of way. (You know, horny, mostly.)
So grab the popcorn, a date (or FWB, or best friend, or really anyone you won’t feel weird watching a sex scene in front of) and get ready to soak up the sexiest movies of 2024 in all their hot and heavy glory.
Love Lies Bleeding
Gym-manager Kristin Stewart falls for a female body-builder and (in addition to plenty of non-sexual action) a whole lotta lesbian sex ensues. In fact, the film boasts what The Hollywood Reporter calls “passionate and intimate lesbian sex scenes,” including “oral sex, brief toe-sucking and one encounter that finds Lou instructing Jackie to masturbate while she watches from inches away.” Really, who among us can say no to some on-screen toe-sucking, however brief?
Challengers (April 26)
Ah yes, the Zendaya threesome movie. JK, it’s more than that. But this highly anticipated flick (originally slated for a September 2023 release) dominated social media when the trailer first dropped thanks to a clip that, well, certainly seems to suggest viewers can expect a threeway to go down between Tashi (Zendaya), Patrick (Josh O’Connor), and Art (Mike Faist). We’re certainly not going to sleep on the chance to see if this flick will make good on this extremely effective little tease.
Drive Away Dolls
Margaret Qualley helms this queer masterpiece as the sexually confident Jaime alongside Geraldine Viswanathan’s more reserved Marian. The two embark on a road trip from Philadelphia to Tennessee, but things get a tad unhinged when they, well, cross paths with some criminals! Chaos ensues, as does—you guessed it—plenty of hot sex.
Mea Culpa
Four words: Tyler Perry erotic thriller. Yep, that’s a thing, and yep, it’s on Netflix. It also stars Kelly Rowland as a high-powered defense attorney representing a man accused of murdering his girlfriend so the drama level is high here, folks!
The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed (April 26)
Last Summer (June 28)
A remake of the 2019 Danish film Queen of Hearts, this arthouse-vibey flick tells the tawdry tale of a woman who falls for her 17-year-old step-son (!!). You might consider this the 2024 version of last year’s May December. A bit, shall we say, problematique? Definitely. Bound to spark all kinds of discourse you’re not gonna wanna miss out on? Also yes.
