These 13 Sexiest Movies On Netflix Are Hot Hot Hot
One of the best things to come from streaming services is that you no longer have to look at other Blockbuster shoppers when you're in the mood to watch a steamy film. Now, the biggest struggle is selecting which sexy movie on Netflix you're going to watch as you scroll through the seemingly endless list of options. They do have a lot of romantic films in their repertoire, but some are hotter than others.
Streaming platforms and premium channels in general allow for more graphic depictions of sexual content than you could find on regular television, as they aren't subject to the same rating laws since you opt into the service. The no rules, Wild West-like environment has led to the development of shows like Game of Thrones on HBO and Orange Is The New Black on Netflix, where you'll find deeper explorations of sexuality and a greater depiction of the human experience.
If you're in the mood for a spicy flick, Netflix has a plethora of films just waiting for you. From classics to original productions for the platform, you really can find whatever you're looking for. Read on for 13 movies you'll want to watch during grown-up time.

6Someone Great

All three steal the screen, and it's a great story of female friendship as a plus.
