Well. In some relationships, sexual passion is hard to find. Are you left disappointed in bed after yet another 15-minute session, where only the missionary position is involved? Then you might want to listen up. It's about time you push each other against a wall and show why you fell for each other in the first place. But hey: we have no judgment. Sometimes you just need a little nudge. For that, we know something: exciting movies that show exactly what you can try tonight. Because let's be honest: there's little as contagious as chemistry on screen.

1. Lady Chatterley’s Lover (Netflix)

That we love sexy costume dramas, you already knew. So it's no surprise that we want you to absolutely watch this. After Connie’s husband returns paralyzed from World War I, the sexual passion in her (Emma Corrin) life is over. Her husband encourages her to seek love with another man. She refuses until she meets the quiet gamekeeper Oliver (Jack O’Connell). What develops is a passionate affair that completely changes her life. Sneaking around in secret and wanting to pounce on each other behind the first bush you see? You see those scenes here, and believe me: if you thought Bridgerton was hot, then you haven't seen this film yet. Oh, and if you haven't seen enough? There's also a version of this film from 2015, featuring none other than Richard Madden.

2. Babygirl (Prime Video and APPLE TV)

We also need to put our Dutch pride on the map, right? Halina Reijn's Babygirl is one of the hottest films that have recently come out. Here we follow CEO Romy (Nicole Kidman), who has been dissatisfied with her sex life with her husband Jacob for years. It's boring and honestly? She's never even had an orgasm. Well, if that's not sad. Everything changes for her when the working woman ends up in bed with her young intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson). After years of longing for more, he opens her eyes to what is possible in the world of passion. With all the BDSM bells and whistles. If this doesn't inspire you, then I don't know what will. This is just free porn.

3. Wuthering Heights (HBO max & APPLE TV)

Now that this steamy film is finally available to stream, we couldn't miss it. Is there a forbidden romance? Then we're ready for it. If horny were a film, it would be this one. Cathy (Margot Robbie) and Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi) long for each other every moment of the film. Whether that means they caress each other's arms or Heathcliff pushes up Cathy’s corset to kiss her. Want to get in the mood? Then this is really a recommendation.

4. Challengers (Prime Video and APPLE TV)

We're going to play tennis. And not with those yellow tennis balls, but with men. In Challengers Tashi (Zendaya) can't choose between best friends Art (Mike Faist) and Patrick (Josh O’Connor). Or well. She has chosen: she's married to Art, but there's something about Patrick that catches her attention. The three begin a love triangle that obviously can't end well. Because yes... Both boys can't keep their hands off Tashi. And honestly? Sometimes it seems like they want more with each other than is currently happening. And that tension is what makes this film so exciting.

5. Disobedience (HBO Max, Prime Video and APPLE TV)

As a successful photographer, Ronit Krushka (Rachel Weisz) hasn't been home in London for years. Not because of her dream in New York, but because she fell in love with her best friend, Esti Kuperman (Rachel McAdams). The Orthodox Jewish community she lived in banished her. When her father dies, she returns to say goodbye. Here she reconnects with Esti, reigniting all that passion. And Esti? She feels the same. Between the lines, they explore how far they can go.

6. Fifty Shades of Grey (Netflix, APPLE TV and Sky show Time)

No ‘sexy movie list’ is complete without this classic. This is the OG that put passionate erotic films on the map in the somewhat prudish America. Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) gets the chance to interview the cold and especially young billionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). This interview leads to a very exciting result… The two begin a BDSM-like adventure that is hotter than Anastasia ever could have dreamed.

7. Closer (2004) (APPLE TV and Netflix)

A romantic film drama with Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, and Jude Law? You get that when you Closer turn it on. This drama takes place in London, where writer Dan (Jude Law) meets an American woman in a, eh, not so nice way. She gets hit by a car. Yes, seriously. From the moment Dan takes the woman named Alice (Natalie Portman) to the hospital, they can't stay away from each other. A year later, they're still together and Dan writes a book about Alice's life. When he goes to shoot the cover photo, he falls head over heels for the photographer Anna (Julia Roberts). This is the beginning of a twisted obsession that is actually quite creepy. What comes out of it? An affair, of course. And it's really hot. If you're in the mood for steamy scenes and a film where one plot twist follows another, then this is for you.

So. If you emulate these films, I can assure you that you'll be busy for a few weeks. Need more inspiration? Then there are still plenty of steamy series that are fortunately available.
